A buoyancy pump device for use in fluid. The buoyancy pump device includes
a buoyancy block housing defining a buoyancy chamber therein through
which the fluid may flow. A buoyancy block is disposed within the
buoyancy chamber to move axially therein in a first direction responsive
to rising of the fluid in the buoyancy chamber and a second direction
responsive to lowering of the fluid in the buoyancy chamber. A piston
cylinder is connected to the buoyancy block housing and has at least one
valve disposed therein operating as an inlet in response to movement of
the buoyancy block in the second direction and an outlet in response to
movement of the buoyancy block in the first direction. A piston is
slideably disposed within the piston cylinder and connected to the
buoyancy block, the piston being moveable in the first and second
directions and responsive to movement of the buoyancy block in the second
direction to draw a gas or liquid substance into the piston cylinder
through the at least one valve, and responsive to movement of the
buoyancy block in the first direction to output the gas or liquid
substance through the at least one valve.
