Here the main intention is to press the air block into water container. One lever mechanism is designed to press the air container. The lever is loaded with another container which is pulsed by drop of water rest at a height. In this process the total upward buoyancy force acting on all the submerged air packets tends to overcome the frictional force of silicon diaphragm and contact air packet. One lever arrangement is provided to push the air packet through the silicon diaphragm. The lever is loaded with a water container which is pulsed by water drop from another water container rest on a certain calculated height. The pulse rate controls the rate of energy to be supplied to the air packet. Due to the bouncy effect and pulsed energy by lever the air packet overcomes the frictional force and comes into the water chamber where it gets upward thrust due to bouncy effect. Thus the air packet chain rotates and transferring the energy to the pulley of prime mover (Dynamo). Image 0/0
