Abstract:

An apparatus for pumping and compressing fluids using floats which ride on the tides, swells and waves of the sea lowering an impeller by gravity when the tide falls and discharging fluid through back flow prevention valves above impeller when sea level rises for any reason. Pump will deliver sea water at any selected pressure determined by buoyancy of floats. Increasing buoyancy increases discharge pressure or lift or volume. Sea water pump is open to sea on inlet side when pumping sea water. Sea water seeks its own level rising to sea surface through impeller and back flow prevention valve. When pumping other fluids, pump is not open to sea and connects to fluid sources of supply. The pump is modified to prevent leakage to sea when pumping all other fluids. Fluid volume lift is increased by adding tidal range multipliers to pump and increasing float buoyancy making it possible to deliver greater volumes of fluids each time tide rises.
