Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006056694A1] Potential energy is obtained by pumping water or oil in a circumferential tube of a wheel having a diameter of ten metres and which is mounted vertically in order to rotate. The wheel (1) has S'-shaped hollow spokes (3) and a hollow hub (4). Sliding gates (5,8) cause amounts of water or oil to fall from the upper part of a circumferential tube so that it can enter the lower part of the tube, travelling via the hollow spokes (3) when they are in a vertical position and travelling via the hollow hub (4). The S -shaped spokes produce forces of reaction causing the wheel to rotate, resulting in repetitive filling and emptying of the spokes.
