Abstract: The present invention relates to a buoyancy-based rotational turbine system that utilizes gravitational and buoyant forces to generate sustained rotational motion for a prolonged period of time for energy conversion. The system comprises a central rotating shaft and multiple specially designed hollow blades, each incorporating a weighted wheel, a floater, and a vacant section. The weighted wheel exerts downward force, while the floater generates an upward buoyant force upon liquid immersion, facilitating uninterrupted rotation. The turbine operates without reliance on external environmental conditions, ensuring high efficiency and sustainability. The rotation of the shaft is mechanically coupled to a power generation mechanism, enabling electricity production. The optimized design of the blades, including a curved hypotenuse side for fluid interaction, enhances energy conversion efficiency. This innovative system provides an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and self-sustaining alternative for renewable energy generation, making it suitable for various applications, including remote electrification and industrial power supply.
I Claim: 1. A buoyancy-based rotational turbine system comprising a central rotating shaft, a plurality of specially designed blades affixed to the shaft, and a liquid container, characterized by:
a weighted wheel housed within each blade, exerting downward force due to gravity;
a floater positioned within each blade to generate upward buoyant force upon liquid immersion;
a power generation mechanism coupled to the rotating shaft to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein each blade is 3 dimensioned triangles with a curved hypotenuse side to optimize fluid entry and exit, enhancing rotational efficiency.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the blade contains a hole next to the vertex that is nearest to the shaft, thereby optimising fluid and air entry and exit.
4. The system wherein the rim of the wheel affixed with the tube and, can optionally be, affixed to Airsacs that can be a?ached to either or both sides of the wheel.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the weighted wheel remains suspended within a predefined angular range of the blade’s hollow section, maintaining controlled movement.
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the floater is a hollow, lightweight structure affixed on the hypotenuse side designed to maximize buoyant force upon submersion.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the liquid container provides a controlled environment for optimizing fluid dynamics, ensuring uninterrupted rotation.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the rotational motion of the shaft is mechanically coupled to an energy conversion unit, enabling constant power generation.
