Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010069013A2] It will be used for lifting the water and for production of electric power. HEPP includes two groups of siphons (1, 2), connected hydraulically with vacuum siphons. Between all the rear branches (4) of the first siphons (1) and front branches (5) of the second siphons (2) there are lifting presses (36), in which a vertical rod (37) moves centrally. The pressure pipe (44) lifts water to the upper tank (45), in which is dipped the top of the upper branch (52) of the energy siphon (53), to which is fitted a water turbine (54) with electric generator (55). The energy siphon draws water from the upper tank for energy producing. At a version for utilization of the sea, before the groups of siphons is provided a lifting installation which includes trapezoid float (69), the three-joint cover (62) and upper tank (80).
