Abstract
A water energy conversion system for convening the potential energy of water to electrical or mechanical energy, takes water at an inlet () from a higher elevation source, through a conduit () to a lower location. Then a riser () conveys the water up to nearly the same elevation it had at the inlet. The riser acts as a 'virtual dam', delivering the water with nearly the same head as a dam. The water from the riser is delivered to an energy converter () which comprises a loop raceway () which constrains and guides a plurality of carriage and disc assemblies () connected in a continuous train by links (). An inlet () at the top of the energy converter receives the water where it falls downward through a jacket () that is constrained by the raceway ().
