Abstract
By applying balance between atmospheric pressure and gravity, Torricelli's vacuum is formed and by utilizing the vacuum, power is generated. When the operating tube directs to nearly the right above, because of weight of the liquid in the inside of the operating tube, Torricelli's vacuum is formed under the piston, and by this vacuum, the piston is lowered to rotate the operating crank shaft. Then, linking to the rotation of the operating crank shaft, the operating tube inclines, then the piston is pushedly returned to the original position by the liquid, and in this state the operating tube is returned to the afore-described position. A plurality of operating tubes which are balanced in gravity by the balance weighing mechanism repeat the afore-described operation in different phases.
