Abstract
An energy storage and electricity generating system for alternately storing energy and producing electricity includes a framework, which is positionable proximate to a surface of a body of water and to which a motor and a turbine are attached. A cable is operationally engaged to the motor by a pair of guide pulleys. A pair of tanks is attached singly to opposed ends of the cable, positioning the motor to selectively raise one of the tanks while the other is being lowered. Actuated valves and release valves on the tanks allow pressurized air to be selectively generated within the tanks and pressurized water to be forced from the tanks, respectively, as the tanks are lowered and raised. The water is forced through a hose onto blades of the turbine to generate an electrical current.
