US Patent Issued on July 14 for "System and method for converting potential energy into kinetic energy using buoyancy" (Florida Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14 -- United States Patent no. 12,680,530, issued on July 14.

"System and method for converting potential energy into kinetic energy using buoyancy" was invented by Roger Wayne Moore (Boynton Beach, Fla.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A system and method for converting potential energy into kinetic energy includes a water body and a water column extending upward from the water body. A buoyant body is shaped and sized to float through the water column from an underwater, bottom end of the water column to a top end of the water column to acquire potential energy. A hoist mechanism is configured to seize the buoyant body at or near the top end of the water column, transport...
