Water displacement apparatus
First Claim
1. A water displacement apparatus comprising:
- a water container means comprising a water container member for containing water within, said water container member having an entrance area through which beams from the sun may pass into said water container member, an inlet means for allowing water from a water supply to enter said water container member; and
an outlet means for allowing water from said water container member to exit said water container member;
a water displacement means positioned generally above said water container member;
said water displacement means being an evaporation system for evaporating water from within said water container member of said water container means, through said outlet of said water container member;
a water condenser means connected to said outlet of said water container member of said water container means;
whereby beams from the sun may pass into said water container member through said entrance area and evaporate the water from within, such that said evaporated water may move through said outlet of said water container member and through said water condenser means, with said evaporated water being sufficiently cooled as it travels through said condenser means so that it returns to a liquid form.

Abstract
A water displacement apparatus is provided which uses water as a means for transferring energy from the wind and sun into electricity. Wind and the sun may be used to displace water from a water container means. The water container means has a water container member which may be partially submerged in a water supply or reservoir, or it may be connected remotely. The water container means also has a water transport member connected to it, through which water from the water reservoir may move into the water container member. The water from the supply or reservoir will move into the water container member as the water displacement process begins. A conventional windmill system may be used to mechanically displace the water, or an evaporation system utilizing one or more lenses may be used to evaporate the water. An electric generator means may be operatively connected to the water container means in such a manner that the movement of the water through said water transport member may be used to generate electricity. In an alternate configuration, a water condenser means may be connected to the water container means in such a manner that the evaporated water may be transformed back into liquid form and returned to the reservoir or collected for possible residential, commercial, or industrial uses. The various components of the water displacement means and electricity generation means, along with the water condenser means, may also be used in various combinations to displace larger amounts of water.
