Abstract
A plurality of piston-sealed cylinders are secured in oppositely disposed units in spaced relationship to each other about the circumference of a rotational member having substantially horizontal axes of rotation. The rotational member and all cylinders are submerged within a fluid medium. Cylinders on the vertically upwardly moving side of the rotational member have their pistons withdrawn from sealed ends of the cylinders to create a large air space, reducing the weight of each such cylinder to less than the weight of the quantity of the fluid medium which each such cylinder displaces thereby giving each such cylinder buoyancy in the fluid medium and the tendency to rise therein. Cylinders on the vertically downwardly moving side of the rotational member have their pistons inserted substantially into the cylinders close to the sealed ends, reducing the air space, increasing fluid space in and the weight of each cylinder to a total weight greater than the weight of the amount of fluid medium displaced, whereby each such cylinder tends to sink vertically downwardly. The unbalanced condition of the cylinders drives the rotational member.
