Abstract: A water powered pump actuation system configured to power a reciprocating element of a pump. The pump actuation system may comprise a base, a wheel rotatably attached to the base, an attachment element fixed to the wheel and configured to fix the reciprocating element to the wheel. Rotation of the wheel in a first direction raises the reciprocating element and rotation of the wheel in a second direction lowers the reciprocating element. The actuation system may also comprise a cable attached to the wheel and a container attached to the cable, such that rotation of the wheel in the first direction lowers the container and rotation of the wheel in the second direction raises the container.

Abstract: A mechanism 1 transfers a fluid between vessels in closed circuit communication, the variable volume vessels 4e, 4c being fluid communication. Preferably the mechanism is a rotating mechanism and the vessels are hinged to an arm 2 pivoted to a support 12. In a stop/start position AP of the arm, the highest vessels 4e is in expanded condition and causes rotation of the arm 2 due to gravity until the vessels find themselves in reversed positions, with the expanded vessel 4e down and the compressed vessel 4c up. Expansion/compression means 8 act on the vessels as a consequence of gravity effect, thus causing the fluid to shift from the lowermost vessel to the uppermost vessel. The fluid transfer leads to the restoring of the initial condition and to a new rotation of the arm and vessels, bringing the expanded vessel downwards and the compressed vessel upwards. The vessels oscillate to help the arm rotation.

Abstract: A bucket is filled with water from a water tray that has been filled with water from a water tank. The water tray signals the water tank when it needs water. When a bucket reaches a certain position, the unit bar tips the water tray and the bucket receives the tray's water. The weight of the filled bucket causes it to drop to the water sewer below. The bucket dumps the water into the sewer. The water is pumped from the sewer to the water tank. The two units are attached by a sprocket cable at the unit bar, and the cable travels over three pulley wheels. The units are separated by a rack. The units have a generator mounted on a unit bar. The movement of the bar and the motor along rack generates energy.

Abstract: The invention discloses a portable hydroelectric apparatus which converts the kinetic energy of water caused by gravity into electrical energy. This conversion is accomplished without the presence of a river or stream. A new type of buoyancy motor is disclosed which is formed as a U-tube erected vertically. One leg and the curved portion at the bottom are filled with a series of separate air-filled tanks.

Suitable means prevent the water column in the one leg from pushing the series of tanks out of the U-tube. The leading as well as the succeeding tanks behind it are made buoyant in sequence. In rising through the water-filled leg of the U-tube water is pushed through a nozzle which is made to operate hydroelectric devices.

Abstract: While in a well, a downhole turbo-machine of a series of turbine stages and pump stages is driven by power fluid circulated into the turbine stages from the surface. A branch stream from the power fluid passes through a centrifugal cleaner and is cleansed of solid material. The turbine stages drive the centrifugal cleaner. The cleansed stream becomes lubricant for the turbo-machine bearings. On the turbine side, the lubricant stream passes at substantially cleaner discharge pressure into longitudinal passages between turbine shrouds and an alignment tube to journal bearings and journals located between turbine stage stators and a drive shaft driven by the turbines. Annular channels between separate shrouds effect communication between the longitudinal passages between the shrouds and the alignment tube. On the pump side, the lubricant stream is first directed so that it can act on a thrust bearing runner and apply a force in opposition to an otherwise unbalanced axial force.
