Abstract

It is common for the generation of hydroelectric energy, that the use of waterfalls and dams be utilized to drive a turbine for the creation of electricity. In this concept for generating hydroelectric power from water, if one could divert the water, say from a lake by means of a funnel or trap door below the water line of a large lake and have it drop onto an impeller by means of gravity, that one could produce a safe 24/7 renewable energy source. The diverted lake water used to drive the turbine, would then be pumped back into the lake by means of a corkscrew driver, thus creating a void in atmospheric pressure at the bottom of the chamber, where by creating a recycling flow of water which produces no green house gasses, such as coal fired generators.

Claims

1. ) A process for generating none polluting electrical current by the use of water power, gravity, atmospheric pressure and mechanical means.

2. ) A process as defined in claim 1, in which water from a lake, is used to drive a turbine by means of a man made waterfall.

3. ) A process as claimed in claim 2, where by harnessing the power and forces of natural accordance along with the use of a turbine, drive shaft and a water return corkscrew driver being of adequate dimension, size and tolerance to receive the flow and pressure of the falling water, as described in the specifications.

4. ) A process as claimed in claim 3, where by mechanical means, would involve and require an turbine, drive shaft, water return corkscrew.

5. ) A process as claimed in claim 4, where by combining the mechanical aspects of said device and process, being routed to a land generator, would produce electrical current.

6. ) A process as claimed in claim 5, for delivering electrical current by means of the electrical grid of any hydro facility as shown in FIG. 2
