The field of invention relates to a machine and more particularly to a motor (engine) which receives gravity force as energy to produce electricity and operate continuously.
There is a general need for alternative sources for power which are inexpensive to operate and efficient in operation. Prior art of clean power generators tend to be highly inefficient and lose a great deal of the power generated before that power can be utilized. Additionally, there is a need for power generators type which require little maintenance, and when maintenance is required, are easy to repair.
A combination of multiple said motors accumulatively can be implemented to turn large capacity generator or a large water pumps at the coast, rivers and lakes to pump water up a mountain top with a large reservoir tank to store water whereby to run a large hydro generator continuously.
An object of the present invention to employ gravity to generate electrical power.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a system for generating considerable electricity continuously.
Another object of present invention is this device is highly efficient which requires little maintenance with ease.
Still another object of the present invention is this motor can be implemented almost anywhere around the globe.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a system for generating electricity without polluting the environment.
In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, a motor operating under the principles of gravity and buoyancy, and more particularly to such a motor wherein a plurality of collapsible reinforced bellow chambers effect movement of a conveyers for both the gravity and buoyancy portions of the motor and consequently, cause rotation of power output shaft respectively connected to the conveyer sprocket chains (carrier).
The gravitational forces associated with falling bodies can, if properly harnessed, generate power as by the turning of a shaft, likewise, the buoyancy forces attendant to the buoyant objects in a liquid can, when harnessed, produce power by turning of a shaft. Therefore, should these falling collapsible bellow chamber be used also as buoyed-up objects, a closed power-generating system can be produced by coupling together the aforementioned rotating shaft. A unique power generator may therefore be formed with the only power input being that required for expendable and collapsible bellow chamber between the gravity and buoyancy portions of this motors.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a motor or a power generator effectively utilizing the forces of both gravity and buoyancy in a closed system with the use of expendable and collapsible bellow chamber to effect movement of a pair of conveyers on a common shaft by both gravity and buoyancy, power input means being provided for intermittent expanding and for collapsing the said bellow chambers with an aid of a set of rail guides between the gravity side and the buoyancy side of the motor, thus guiding each and every collapsible bellow chamber the entire journey around the conveyer sprocket chain.
The present invention concerns an apparatus which generates electrical power from a combination of gravity forces and inherent buoyancy of the expanded bellow chambers immersed in fluid. This is accomplished through a conveyer type of provision on a long continuous sprocket chain/carrier to which pluralities of expandable and collapsible bellow chamber elements are attached along the entire length of the carrier. The two sets of sprocket chain/carrier extends around two pairs of sprocket gears such that movement of the chain causes rotation of gears on a common shaft. The carrier and the buoyant elements are mounted in a housing which contains liquid, preferably water. The said carrier and the buoyant elements are encased in a tank as support structure.
As the buoyant forces of the bellow chamber modules act on the carrier the carrier is turning the sprocket gears thereby the output shaft is turning the gearbox. The said motor is divided in two sides the first side is the expanded bellow buoyant chambers pulling almost half the carrier up, and the second side is the collapsed bellow chambers whereby the gravity is exerting a downward force on the carrier. This entire process of expanding and collapsing the bellow chambers modules at same time exerting the buoyant force and the gravitational force by the said chamber modules is achieved by a rail system. The said rail system as shown
In the present invention the motor does not require any external assistance to expand and collapse the chamber modules or to maintain the consistency of the force to turn the output shaft since all of the chamber modules operate in a synchronized mariner, furthermore to shut the said entire motor down is achieved by an additional sets of rail tracks added on the first side of the carrier where the bellow chambers module are expended, thus the said additional sets of rails has a mechanism to interrupt the expansion of the bellow chamber modules by merely changing tracks, thus the bellow chamber modules no longer expends on the first side of the carrier as they travel causing the motor to came to a halt and all the deflated bellow chamber air is exhausted externally, alternatively to reenergizes the motor manually change the rail tracks back to expending mode and a manual crank gearbox is provided to turn the top large sprocket gear whereby the entire motor starts to turn once enough buoyant bellow chambers has expanded thus displacing water thereby increasing buoyant force on the first side of the carrier lifting acting on the carrier begins to turn the motor continuously at the designed speed and torque.
In present invention the said motor can be duplicated many number of times and combined to be attached to a building to achieve the required torque to turn the gearbox whereby the generator of an appropriate capacity, additionally used as the water storage tank and as a fire hydrant, furthermore combination of the said motors can be implemented to turn large piston water pumps accumulatively at the coast, rivers and lakes to pump water up a mountain top with a large reservoir tank to store water whereby to run a hydro generator continuously, 24/7.
The present invention will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments.

To get the present invention in motion thereby produce electricity is achieved by setting the rail guide to the expending mode 20 there upon manually crank gearbox 25 as the crank gearbox starts turning the large sprocket gears 9 clockwise, thereby as the said sprocket gears turns the first sets of bellow cambers begins to expend on the first side of the motor and additionally takes in atmospheric air in from the top of the tank as more chamber enter the first side of the motor and expends the volume of water the said chambers have displaced increases creating a buoyant force on the first side of the motor, finally when the force of the buoyant bellow chamber have reach a point to carry the sprocket chain carrier 7 and turn the sprocket gear 9 on its own, the manual crank 25 is disengaged and the motor starts picking up speed as more of the said bellow chambers enter the buoyant side of the motor, once all the specified amount of bellow chambers have expended on the first side as per design the rpm on the generator will maintain content as specified, and the routine movement of the bellow chambers of expanding and collapsing is synchronized thus continuously turning the gearbox 2 whereby the generator 1.
To shut down the said motor is to change the guide rail 20 to a collapsing mode from the top of the tank 4 and as the bellow chambers enter the first side the chambers stop expending and expelling the air at the top as each chamber at the top collapses thus maintain the collapsed cycle and reducing the buoyant force on the first side of the motor sprocket chain carrier 7 thereby causing the momentum of the sprocket gears 9 to slow down finally all the bellow chambers to collapse and the motor comes to rest.
