The kinetic energy recovery of a buoyancy engine

In this work, consideration is given to the kinetic energy recovery of a buoyancy engine and with particular reference to gliders. Utilizing a simplifed physical model, an expression for the efciency of kinetic energy recovery in terms of reduction of the required energy input from batteries was der...
