Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for generating energy from a container configured to be fully submerged in a liquid and containing differing volumes of gas in order to alternatively ascend and descend through the liquid in order to rotate a drum spool connected to the container by a cable hose that unwinds from the drum spool as the container ascends, and winds as the cable descends. The rotational energy of the drum spool may thus be harvested.
