Abstract

The invention relates to a hydraulic device that uses gravity and buoyancy forces, in which during a rotation of the assembly, movable masses (M1, . . . , Mn) are displaced by means of a force acting on the masses that counteracts the weight force in such a way that said masses contribute to the rotational movement.
