Depthron – PCT/IB2025/052693 Technical Whitepaper Whitepaper Title: Depthron - Energy System Utilizing Presenergy Inventor: I.M.I. PCT Number: PCT/IB2025/052693 International Filing Date: 13 March 2025 Introduction 1.1 Overview The Depthron is a groundbreaking energy system that harnesses static water pressure—termed Presenergy—to generate continuous, clean electricity without turbines or fuel. Deployed at depths like 1000 m, this system uses a submersible steel sphere with a nitrile rubber membrane to convert pressure into hydraulic energy, driving oil through a closed-loop circuit to a surface alternator. Producing 0.8 MW per unit and scaling to 5,760,000 kWh/month with 10 units, Depthron offers a sustainable, high-output solution for renewable energy generation. 1.2 Problem Statement Renewable energy sources like wind and solar are intermittent, requiring storage or backup systems, while hydropower often demands dams, turbines, and ecological disruption. Static water pressure at depth—100 bar at 1000 m—remains an untapped, constant resource, with pressure-to-energy conversion limited to theoretical studies. Existing deep-sea energy concepts (e.g., OTEC) are complex and costly, leaving a gap for a simple, scalable, turbine-free system. Depthron fills this void with efficient, continuous power generation. 1.3 Solution Depthron deploys a 2 m AISI 316L steel sphere at 1000 m depth, where a 1 m² nitrile membrane compresses under 10 MPa, displacing 7.85 L/s of ISO VG 46 oil through a 10 cm HDPE pipe to a surface hydraulic cylinder and alternator, yielding 0.8 MW per unit. A closed-loop system with one-way and return valves ensures oscillation-driven flow, producing 5,760,000 kWh/month across 10 units. This fuel-free, eco-friendly system leverages Presenergy for reliable, high-capacity energy.

PCT Documentation 3.1 Description (PCT/IB2025/052693) Title: Depthron - Energy System Utilizing Presenergy Technical Field: This invention relates to renewable energy generation, specifically a system that harnesses static water pressure (Presenergy) at depth to produce continuous electricity without turbines or fuel. Background: Traditional renewable energy sources like wind and solar suffer from intermittency, while hydropower relies on turbines and large infrastructure. Static water pressure at depth offers a constant, untapped energy potential, yet no practical system converts it into scalable power without complex mechanisms. Depthron leverages Presenergy to provide a simple, efficient alternative for clean energy production. Summary: Depthron utilizes Presenergy to harness static water pressure for continuous energy generation. At 1000 m depth, a 2 m AISI 316L steel sphere with a 1 m² nitrile rubber membrane compresses under approximately 100 bar (10 MPa), displacing ISO VG 46 oil at a rate of approximately 7.85 liters per second through a 10 cm HDPE pipe to a surface hydraulic cylinder and alternator, producing 0.8 MW per unit. A closed-loop circuit with one-way and return valves ensures continuous oil flow, driven by membrane oscillation, generating 5,760,000 kWh per month with 10 units. Detailed Description: ● Depthron consists of a submersible chamber deployed at 1000 m depth, connected to a surface generator via a hydraulic circuit: ○ Submersible Chamber: A 2 m diameter AISI 316L steel sphere houses a 1 m² nitrile rubber membrane that compresses under 10 MPa (100 bar), displacing 7.85 L/s of ISO VG 46 oil. ○ Hydraulic Circuit: A 10 cm HDPE pipe (1000 m) channels oil to a surface hydraulic cylinder, with one-way and return valves maintaining a closed-loop flow driven by membrane oscillation at 0.1 Hz. ○ Surface Generator: A hydraulic cylinder powers an alternator, producing 0.8 MW per unit (19,200 kWh/day), scalable to 5,760,000 kWh/month with 10 units. ● The system operates as follows: At 1000 m, 10 MPa pressure flexes the membrane, pushing 7.85 L/s of oil through the pipe to the surface, where the cylinder converts hydraulic energy (78.5 kW) into mechanical power (70 kW), then electricity (0.8 MW after losses). The closed-loop returns oil to the sphere, sustaining continuous generation. Depthron delivers clean, reliable power with minimal environmental impact. 3.2 Claims A system (Depthron) generating electricity from static water pressure using Presenergy.
