  • Patent number: 11156199
    Abstract: Provided are a buoyant body disposed in a water tank, floating in water, and configured to ascend by water being, injected and descend by water being drained, a variable capacity tank having a changeable filling capacity of air put inside, a weight placed on an upper part of the variable capacity tank in order to exhaust air in the variable capacity tank, and a generator configured to generate power by rotating a turbine with the air exhausted from the variable capacity tank, in which the upper part of the variable capacity tank is configured to be pulled up by a motion conversion device to take air inside when the buoyant body ascends by the water being injected, and the air exhausted from the variable capacity tank by a weight of the weight is utilized for a rotation of the turbine of the generator to generate power.

  • Patent number: 7859127
    Abstract: Gas pressure and exhaust heat of the combustion exhaust gas exhausted from the internal combustion engine is effectively utilized for generating electricity. Using a turbocharger (8) having a turbine (4) that is driven by gas pressure of the combustion exhaust gas and a compressor (6) that is driven by rotational force generated in the turbine, an air engine (12) generating rotational force by air pressure as a power source, and a generator (14) converting the rotational force generated by the air engine to electric power, the air inspired from outside is compressed by the compressor of the turbocharger and heated by the turbine heat at high temperature, and electricity is generated by the generator using the generated compressed air of high pressure and high temperature as a power source of the air engine. The compressed air thus generated in the turbocharger (8) is shared and distributed for combusting the internal combustion engine (2) and for driving the air engine (12).
