1. Historical development
Mr. Arthur G. Platt [1] registered patent no US 2135110 that comprises a renewable energy
power generating apparatus including a water-filled pool, an endless chain looping around
lower and upper cogwheels, containers attached to chain links where only ascending
containers receive compressed air in bottom of pool during the functioning of said apparatus
(fig. 1). Said ascending containers are propelled by a growing buoyant force during their
ascent. According to Boyle's Law, the volume of compressed air injected into each ascending
container expands and displaces an increasing quantity of water at shallower depths due to
lower hydrostatic pressure. The weight of the water displaced by air in ascending containers
creates a steady torque on the axle of the upper cogwheel. The resultant rotation is
transformed into an abundant source of energy adaptable to a wide range of applications.

The needed compressed air for the
functioning of Mr. Platts apparatus
was to be supplied if needed by all
kind of conventional compressors or
by Taylors type hydraulic air
compressors [2], as the one that wasbuilt in Cobalt-Ontario in 1910 [3]
and [4] and that supplied the mines of
the Cobalt area with their needed
compressed air until 1981.
Said Taylors type hydraulic air
compressor is an effective air
compressing apparatus where a huge
quantity of air is compressed by
flowing water of waterways at a
condition to have a difference inheight in the waterways bed in order
to be able to build effectively a water
down-take pipe that communicates
with a first end of an underground
tunnel which communicates at its
second end with a water up-take tail
pipe that discharges water back into
the bed of said waterway. Fig. 1 Cross-sectional view of Platts power
apparatus.
The basic principle that is employed in Taylors type hydraulic air compressors is essentiallythe same as for all hydraulic air compressors. This basic principal consists of a stream of
water to be allowed to fall in a vertical down-take pipe where air bubbles are entrained by
falling water on beginning of its down motion through a mixing head in order to form an air-
water mix. The entrained air is then compressed by the weight of the down flowing water.
Then, when the direction of flow changes suddenly to the horizontal and the velocity of said
flow is lessen, the air bubbles will be liberated then, and may be collected in a suitable
container or separating chamber from which compressed air will be carried out by a suitable
piping system (Fig. 2).

Mr. Afif Abou-Raphael [5] has invented an effective air injection system for ascending
containers of the apparatus that was invented in 1937 by Mr. Platt. This injection system of
patent no CA 2328580 or US 6990890 helps transferring effectively compressed air coming
from a compressor to the ascending containers of Mr. Platts apparatus without any lost of air
bubbles, that means without energy lost at the lower cogwheels level in bottom of said powerplants pool, while Mr. Platt had compressed air bubbles supplied ineffectively to ascending
containers.
2 Engineering planning
The needed engineering study of this invention according to its extraordinary potential is the
calculation of the total useful energy of the self-propelled energy generator that equals the
total addition of all lost and net energy of the system including the modular hydraulic air
compressor according to the equation (2.1):

And because of the multitude of mediums of said self-propelled energy generator, the present
engineering study is divided into three chapters.
Chapter 1 that includes the study of air cycle of the gas system.

as it is shown in fig.3.

apparatus.
It is of course understood that a forth chapter that includes the study of the energy output of
said power plant of invention [5], is needed alongside the study of chapters 1, 2 and 3.
2.1 Gas system
Air is the only gas element in the system of said self-propelled energy generator the subject of
the present invention, where the cycle from the time atmospheric air enters the system letting
us to take advantage of its physical properties, until it exits said system heated at atmospheric
pressure too, is an open cycle.
The following are phases to be followed in order to have a detailed study of the above-
mentioned air-open cycle that permits us to calculate the systems lost and positive energy

Real study of said physical properties, where the reality of this process is that air bubbles of
the falling air-water mix from the mixing head until the lower air-water separating device, are
steadily compressed by the weight of the column of water that existsbetween the pools water
surface and the depth where said bubbles are located. The consequences of that compression,is a huge elevation of the air bubbles temperature, where a big quantity of heat will be lost to
the surrounding water that lowers the air temperature according to (2.4).

In the lower air-water separating device the real air temperature will be '1t and the real water
temperature will be 1T .
2.1.2 Heating phase
Heating is the phase where we return to the compressed air a part of the lost heat that was due
to the direct contact of air with water. This phase is the heat exchange that permits to elevate
air temperature to1t , where
1t should not exceed 90 degrees in order to keep the surrounding
waters temperature below 100 Celsius that avoids water ebullition and evaporation according
to (2.5)
9011 tt (2.5)
Thus, in order to complete this phase without losing a big amount of energy, the heat
exchanger could be supplied with a part of the lost heat that is generated through the
functioning of the water-transferring pumps and the main electrical generator.
The quantity of heat that can be useful in this phase can be calculated as follow:
)( 111 ttcmQ v (2.6)
Where:
1Q Heat quantity
m Quantity of air passing in the heat exchanger
vc Specific heat at constant volume.
This heating phase is beneficial to air cycle in two points:
The elevation of air temperature that lowers the energy lost of the system and, the elevation of compressed air pressure
1p in the heat exchanger where this
beneficial elevation of air pressure at this level of the air cycle could be done without
the need of any additional air compressor.
2.1.3 Expansion phase
The expansion phase starts from the injection of a pre-determined quantity of hot air into
ascending containers. But, the physical properties of this quantity of compressed air present
inside said ascending containers change during the air ascent toward the pools water surface,where the hydrostatic pressure that exerts on this air is lighter according to the depth of every

container. Thus, the consequences of this low pressure, is volume expansion and colder
temperature of this quantity of air.
Thus, the equation (2.7) is used to calculate the changes of air temperature without heat
exchange.

Where:

1t Temperature of compressed air exiting the heat exchanger
1p Pressure of compressed air exiting the heat exchanger
Isentropic constant.
Thus, because t2 is a very low temperature, the water that surrounds the expanding
imprisoned air becomes ice. But, in order to avoid ice formation in the water cycle, we try todistribute hot water that exits the main water-transferring pump all along the ascending route
of the ascending containers, from bottom of pool until the dumping of air at the surface of
water of said pool. This hot water distribution permits us to use the heat that was gained by
water in the first phase, while, the calculation of the quantity of that heat can be calculated as
follow:
tAkQ 2 (2.8)
Where:
2Q Heat quantityk Heat transfer coefficient
A Transfer surface area
t Difference of temperature between air temperature inside ascending container and watertemperature that surrounds the container.
Because this part of the air cycle is a function of the ascending linear speed of the containers,
thus, the useful heat-gain in this part of this cycle can be calculated as follow:

(2.9)
Where:
'W Heat gain
2Q Quantity of heat

v Ascending containers linear speed
That means the ascending containers linear speed has to provide a heat balance in this part ofthis cycle. Thus, the control of the containers ascending linear speed can be done through the
injected quantity of compressed air that can be calculated according to

Thus, in order to provide a good functioning between air cycle and liquid- water cycle,
without having ice accumulation, and to reduce the heat lost, it is always very important to
calculate iteratively the rotation speed of the mechanical system of the bucket turbine
according to equations (2.8), (2.9) and (2.10), because this part of this cycle is the one that can
allow a bigger energy production.
But, because water is the element that is used in the liquid cycle, and water has a liquid

2.2.2 Water pumping by main water-circulating pump
This phase begins at the lower air-water separating device and ends at the exits of the hotwater distributing pipes that are affixed face to the ascending containers and used to spry hot
water around said ascending containers. Thus, it is mandatory that the equation of water
continuity has to be respected at this point of this phase.
And because air is separated from the air-water mix in the lower separating device, and in
order to respect the continuity equation, it is imperative to provide an equal quantity of water
by a secondary water-circulating pump that is controlled by a level sensor in order to control
the acceptable lower level of water in said lower separating device, during the functioning of
the apparatus.

In this phase, main and secondary pumps do not affect the waters physical properties at all;
their only work is to provide a continuous water-circulation between their intake and their
outlet respectively that means they do not need to provide water pumping to a certain head.
2.2.3 Providing heat to the expanding compressed air of the ascending containers
8/14/2019 Final Engineering Report
11/17
International Project Consulting Dr. Ing. Elias Masri
11
In this phase, heat has to be provided to the expanding air inside said ascending containers in
order to close up the isothermal compressing cycle of air without letting ice formation inside
said ascending containers. Thus, the lost heat during phase 1 of the air compression process
(phase 1 in air cycle), and that is recuperated by water contained inside the lower separating
device, will be given back to the expanding air by circulating this hot water around saidascending containers through the above mentioned pipes that are affixed face to these
ascending containers.
After circulating around said ascending containers and giving heat to the expanding air, this
water floats to the pools surface in order to start a new cycle.
2.3 Mechanical system
The Mechanical system of this apparatus has three independent parts:
2.3.1 Water pumps
These pumps are divided into two groups:
A- Main pumps: The main function of a main pump is to provide a continuous watercirculation in said closed liquid system of said apparatus as shown in figure 4. This
type of circulation-pump does not require a lot of energy because of its simple
function where water-circulation is done without any head.
B- Secondary pumps: The main function of a secondary pump is to transfer waterfrom the main pool into said lower separating device during the functioning of the
apparatus, in order to respect the continuity equation for the above referred main
pumps as shown in figure 4. The functioning of these secondary pumps is
intermittent, because water is needed into said lower separating device only when
water reaches the lower acceptable level. In addition, these secondary pumps can
be replaced if needed, by valves that can provide equally, the needed water for the
good functioning of said main pumps. Moreover the control of these secondary
pumps or said valves can be done through (min-max level sensors).
Of course, the needed energy for the good functioning of all main and secondary pumps
is a function of the needed airflow. This energy is a lost one, and according to the
engineering studies of many different examples of this apparatus, the value of this energy
was between 15% and 22% of the total energy output of said power plant of any studied
self-propelled energy generator.
2.3.2 Bucket turbine
This bucket turbine is an endless chain of buckets moving around upper and lower cogwheels
as shown in figure 3 and 4. In addition said bucket turbine is always built solid, in a way that
supports the result drive force developed by the buoyant force of the total volume of

imprisoned compressed air into ascending containers. This buoyant force can be calculated
according to the following equation
n

gVF1
(2.21)
Where:
n Number of ascending containers between upper and lower cogwheels.

Thus, before calculating the final energy of the above mentioned force, we should calculate
the drag that affects directly this part of the mechanical system according to the following
equation:

Where:

And in order to facilitate the calculation of this drag, we consider the up or down moving

The drag resistance of the up and down moving containers is calculated according to [10] and

For the five containers that drag in bottom of pool, the value of drag according to [10] is:
05,112
Thus, the total value of drag can be calculated as follow:
21 .5.2 (2.25)
The resulting useful force of any power plant, can be calculated as follow:
dragresuseful FFF (2.26)
Then, from this useful force, it is possible to calculate the resulting energy of said power plant
without taking in consideration all of the lost energy of the pumps, of all mechanical friction
of the system, and of the air heating, according to the following equation:
2LFE usefulres (2.27)
Where:
L Driving radius that is equal to the sum of: driving wheels radius, thickness of endless
chain and containers radius.
Rotating speed
2.3.3 Power generator
This power generator is an electrical generator that produces the calculated useful energy that
goes through distributing lines and the lost energy used by said main and secondary water
pumps, after deducting all of the added lost energy in drag, in mechanical friction and in air
heating. This means, the result of equation (2.1) of this study is equal to the value of the final
positive energy of this generator.
The above mentioned mechanical system is the most important part of this self-propelled
energy generator. Thus, the lost mechanical energy is the biggest among all of the lost energy
of this apparatus. And because this machine is the first machine in its kind, then, it is difficult
to say how much the exact value of this mechanical energy lost is. But, in sum it is frictioncaused by the rotation of the wheels shafts in their bearings, by direct contact between
cogwheels and endless chain, and by the power transmission systems.
In the present time with the precision of the mechanical construction, we can give a primary
value for this mechanical energy lost in the order of about 15% from the total produced
energy.
The following chart gives percentage of calculated and approximate values for energy lost of
the apparatus.

3 Ragged Chutes Hydraulic Air Compressor supplying compressed air to said power
plant
During the study of this power plant I made sure to study it with compressed air being
supplied bythe ragged chutesthat is located in one of the coldest area of the planet.
Surely, the result came very positive and encouraging. While, if the same power plant would
be located in a hot area and a similar hydraulic air compressor located in the same hot area
supplies the compressed air, thus, the energy output of the power plant would be much higher.

Montreal River
Useful output energy from 37,755 m of air MW 0,119
according to the following calculations, and, if full airflow of the ragged chutes would be used
in an appropriate power plant having the needed number of stages that can contain this
airflow, thus, the results would be as follow:
Number of stages needed to contain the full airflow of 1132.66m:1132.66m/ 37,755m (One stage) = 30 stages.
Full potential-energy production out of full airflow of 1132.66m:0,119MW x 30 = 3,56MW.
The ragged chutes compressor was using a water flow of 22.7 m/sec in order to produce the
40000 cfm or 1132.66 m of free airflow, while the average full water flow of the Montreal
River is about 67.5 m/sec.
Then, if this full water flow were to be used in a bigger hydraulic compressor, the following
airflow would be produced:
(67.5m / 22.7m3) x 1132.66m = 3368.0185m
Thus, the full potential energy of this airflow would be:
(3368.0185m / 1132.66m) x 3,56MW 10.5 MW.
It should be understood of course that the ragged chutes does not need neither main nor
secondary water transferring pumps, that makes energy production according to this
technology much higher then energy being produced through the new invention. But, becausewaterways do not exist wherever we need them to be, then, the use of the new technology of
said (Self-propelled energy generator) would be highly recommended in replacing
conventional power generation.
In addition, said power plant can be built in shallower pools if needed where more stages can
be used in order to produce enough energy without having the risk to having ice accumulation
in the buckets.
4 Conclusion
In the beginning when I was approached by the inventor to do an engineering study for his
invention, I thought that he was loosing his time, because a lot of people before him have
studied the issue without getting any positive result, and that it is unlikely to produce energy
from nothing, and that perpetual motion machine does not exists.
But, because of my technical curiosity I decided to see from where this positive energy is
coming. Thus, I decided to search deeper, and then I started reading the documents including
the patents texts; searching for mistakes the inventor has committed, while being sure to find
them.

When I didnt find any mistake whatsoever, I got attached to the issue and I started revising
very carefully the calculations that were done by the inventor. Happily and surprisingly, I
came up with a positive result. And the following are my findings:
This invention is a unique Self- propelled energy generator that includes a unique submergedair Bucket Turbine, powered By the volume (not the pressure) of compressed air produced
by unique modular hydraulic air compressors.
The subject of this invention:
1- Is self-propelled and it eliminates all of the disadvantages of conventional powergenerators (wind intensity, solar-beam, etc.) while ensuring ease of operation and
an ecological process that uses non-polluting, renewable and clean energy. In
addition this apparatus needs only atmospheric air and a recycled limited quantity
of water.
2- Has the capacity to be located anywhere in the world including cities, remoteareas, mountains or deserts, and to produce any amount of cheap energy according
to the needed design without any limitation whatsoever. Moreover, this
extraordinary machine that is self-propelled can produce clean and renewable
energy even in the coldest regions of the globe.
3- Includes a power generating plant of the type described in the Canadian patent noCA 2328580 or in US patent no US 6990809that uses the compressed air volume
as fuel instead of air pressure, and a modular hydraulic air compressor that
produces artificially the needed airflow for the good functioning of said power
plant by circulating same water in a closed and looping path in order to entrain and
compress air according to the same basic principle of all hydraulic air
compressors, including Taylors type hydraulic air compressors that were the
biggest in the world in their kind. But said basic principle is used in this modular
hydraulic air compressor in a better, easy and efficient way, where air is
compressed and expanded in an isothermal process.
Thus, this self-propelled energy generator can produce for the first time in history a huge
amount of positive energy, of course, without forgetting that this clean and renewable energy
generation can be without limitations and without the use of any conventional outside source
of energy. In addition, this apparatus needs only maintenance after it is started, and, the use ofthis technology could reduce drastically pollution and greenhouse gases.
