CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]Provisional Patent Application of Albert Hamilton Davis, Sr. For Economical Tide/Wave/Swell/Wind/Solar Powered High Pressure Pump consisting of 23 pages of specification, 4 drawing sheets and filing fee of $100.00 paid. Document received 113009 U.S. PTO 60/04373 Article Numbers EQ006883750US Aug. 02, 2005, EQ748959467US. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002](Not Applicable). REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISC APPENDIX [0003](Not Applicable). BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention [0004]My Economical Tide/Wave/Swell/Wind/Solar Powered High Pressure Fluid Pump invention herein after called pump is generally related to any process or system requiring water under pressure to do work and provide services such as: driving turbines to generate electricity on land, at sea, and below sea level; forcing sea, brackish, fresh waters through reverse osmosis membrane processes to generate potable water; forcing any other fluids needing cleansing of undesirable elements and foreign matter through reverse osmosis membrane processes producing fluids with desired purity; compressing any gaseous fluids including air; delivering nutrient rich sea water to aquaculture farms; delivering nutrient sea water to off shore fisheries; creating vacuums; delivering any fluids including colloids from one location to another for use or storage. [0005]A large number of inventions have been made in an effort to use the immense mechanical energy created, stored temporally and eventually lost to great heat sink of the seas without other benefits. [0006]My pump will do work and provide services and power more efficiently than any other pump invented. without the use of fossil, nuclear, or other costly man prepared fuels. [0007]I searched in USPTO search room, at USPTO site, on internet and local libraries and found no pumps resembling my pump invention using a float lifted by multiple tide forces causing a sliding fluid impeller of new design in a pump housing attached to sea bed to pump any fluids. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008]A system for pumping fluids by using a float which is driver which rides on tides, swells, waves, and wind on sea moving float, lowering and raising a sliding fluid impeller herein after called impeller as tides, swells and waves rise and fall and as the wind moves the float horizontally causing the impeller to rise and fall. The pump will move fluids over entire tides, swells, waves and wind movements less the depth of submersion of float. Every up movement of sea surface for any reason causes water to discharge through one way discharge backwater valves. When pumping fluids, volume of the float is determined from buoyancy necessary to pump fluid by raising weight of fluids and equipment components which move up and down and overcome resistance to flow. Discharge pressure or lift can be increased to any manageable pressure simply by increasing volume of float over the minimum volume necessary to pump fluids by raising weight of fluids and equipment components which move up and down and overcome resistance to flow in valves and pipes. Only limitation to high pressure is ability of pump equipment to with stand high pressures and only limitation to capacity is the availability of enough space and water depth to install and operate multiple pumps and pumps with larger impeller faces. Water can be lifted to any reasonable elevation or pressure if pump can with stand the pressures produced. Capacity may be increased by increasing impeller face area or creating a farm or farms with multiple floats and impellers. Pump will operate at any manageable depth in any ocean or sea where the tides, swells and waves are adequate to make pump to work. Pump is non-polluting and uses no fossil fuel, nuclear, or man made source of energy. Fuel costs are zero. The only costs are equipment, installation, operation and maintenance. Modified pump will pump any liquid fluids and compress air and any gas. When large volumes of liquids or gases are pumped, piston rings and seals are not necessary because one way valves will not allow back flow. Minimal leakage of fluid at edges of impellers and blades will provide sufficient lubrication. Pump will function as long as equipment is properly operated and maintained. There are no controls, rotating shafts or bearings when pumping sea water and potable water. Pump is modified when pumping many fluids which may contaminate the seas. Impeller shown is a new use for heavy duty adjustable counterbalance back draft dampers used in air conditioning industry. Heavy duty adjustable counterbalance back draft damper designs and materials will be modified so as to be suitable for use in sea water and any fluids pumped when applicable. Dampers will normally be installed in horizontal position set to open upward when pressure on the bottom side exceeds the pressure on top side of movable damper blades. Because specific gravity of metal damper and its accessories will be made greater than specific gravity of water, damper will sink when height of the tides, swells, and waves decreases allowing the damper to move open. As damper falls, fluid will flow from bottom side to top side of damper. When tide is rising, pressure on top side of damper will be greater and force it to shut tight and fluid will be forced upward under pressure to one way discharge back flow valve(s). Back flow valve(s)s in fluid discharge will prevent back flow. Fluids other than sea water will have an additional back flow valve in the fluid intake to the pump. Clearances between impeller and its housing will allow negligible leakage in relation to the total volume of fluid pumped and will serve as lubricant for dampers. Pumps which pump sea water will have no back flow valve on inlet side and will always be open to sea on the inlet side of the impeller. Sea water seeks its own level and will rise through the pump discharge unless otherwise restricted. When fluids other than sea water are pumped, inlet pressure to impeller will be pressure of the fluid available from fluid source. When the impeller rises, fluids will be drawn into to under side of impeller. When pump is used to drive turbines to generate power, turbines can be located at or above sea level or even below sea level. If liquid fluids are used, they must be stored at an elevation above the turbine whereby the weight of the fluid causes adequate fluid pressure to drive turbine and provide required power output. Liquid fluids may be stored anywhere in pressure tanks designed and located to provide desired turbine operating pressure. When air and other gaseous fluids are used, fluids can best be stored just about anywhere in pressure tanks above or below sea level as long as losses in the distribution system are taken into account. [0009]As an example, pump can the used to supply sea water under pressure to turbines used to generate power. Calculations were made on a typical 60 kwh per day home. The results are as follows: TABLE-US-00001 Assumptions tide range 20 ft water type sea water lift of tide range 70% fluid pumped sea water lifted equipment weight 10% kwh per day required 60 system losses (friction, turbine 15% Results float submersion/minimum height 6 ft sea water lift per tide 14 ft kwh per ft pound 4.14313E-07 float internal volume 190,149.92 cu ft float face area 31,691.65 sq ft internal length of float sides 178 ft length of impeller sides 27 ft [0010]Impeller inside pump housing will have face dimensions 27 feet long, 27 feet wide and the pump height will be tall enough for a 14 foot lift of impeller per tide for two tides per day. Float minimum internal dimensions will be 178 feet long, 178 feet wide and 6 feet tall. [0011]Assume a load of one megawatt (1,000,000 watts) per day to take care of a small subdivision with about sixteen 60 kwh homes. Assume a farm of four pumps manifolded together to a common supply. Each of four pumps will have an impeller 54 feet long and 54 feet wide and a float 356 feet long, 356 feet wide and 6 feet tall. Pressurized sea water will drive a turbine which will generate one megawatt per day. [0012]Savings resulting from elimination of utility bills according to my monthly bill for electricity and natural gas, will be approximately $200 per month or $2400 per year. [0013]A saving of $2400 per home per year realizes an annual saving 16.times.$2400=$38,400 per year for one megawatt of power. Payback will depend on the cost of designing, manufacturing, installing and maintaining pump package. [0014]Additional savings can be realized be forcing same water that drives turbines through reverse osmosis equipment to generate potable water. Additional water pressure can be created by adding buoyancy to float. Some sea water can be used to backwash filters and membranes. By passed sea water can have other uses or just returned to the sea. [0015]Tide Range Multipliers can provide leverage which convert natural tide ranges to larger tide ranges using lever arms dual size pulley spools. Volume of fluid lifted during each tide can be doubled, tripled and more making use of small tides more feasible by reducing initial unit cost per kwh of power generated. Additional volume is offset by increase of float buoyancy.
