Abstract
A motor that combines buoyant and gravitational forces to create a highly efficient limitless source of energy comprises: a reservoir containing liquid; a vertical cylinder in communication with, extending from the liquid reservoir, containing liquid and having a top and a bottom; a continuous chain extending vertically through the fluid contained in the vertical cylinder, the chain including a plurality of floats spaced along and linked together by connecting cable, each float having an external cup that carries a small amount of liquid to the top of the cylinder and discharges the liquid back into the cylinder as the float exits same; an upper sprocket wheel around which the continuous chain travels and where the direction of the continuous chain changes from upward away from the top of the vertical cylinder to downward through ambient air; a lower sprocket wheel around which the continuous chain travels and where the direction of the continuous chain changes from downward to upward into the bottom of the vertical cylinder; an upper valve at the top of the vertical cylinder through which the float containing continuous chain passes; a lower valve disposed within the liquid reserv…
