About

I am a long-retired IT manager that has spent the past 8 or 9 months refining a system that started out as a pulsed energy device that used atmospheric air pressure to lift water (basically a "free lift") that was then dropped into a turbine. That system did indeed produce more energy than it used to operate, but it was big and was certainly not mobile. I started looking for ways to  make it more compact and that is how I discovered pressure-transfer chambers. The idea of using a PTC to simulate a tall column of water came to mind, and that idea is what the WES device is built on. I also have a degree in Physics and I do understand the first two laws of thermodynamics; Conservation of Energy, and Entropy. The current hydroelectric generator, the WES system, takes entropy into account by assuming loss in the turbine output while assuming additional power usage by the pump. The PTC does not apply because that is a set and consistent. value. As to the conservation of energy, the PTC supplies the external force through a helium filled bladder which is depleted over time and requires refilling annuallly.

I also have a variation of the hydroelectric model that runs on compressed air. It generates a net output of 100 kW, but could likely go a little higher if needed. The downside of the air model is that the high-pressure air tank needs daily topping and weekly swapping. In it's current form it would extend the range of an electric semi truck by close to 200 miles and fully charge the semi's 900kWh battery pack overnight when parked. It would also, of course, power a pickup truck and charge the battery while driving. If interested in the air model please email me through the Contact link.
