This patent describes an apparatus for the generation of power which comprises: a first cylinder and a second cylinder; a first float member and a second float member disposed in the first and second cylinders, respectively; a first inner cylinder and a second inner cylinder disposed in the first and second float members, respectively; a first lever and a second lever connected to the first and second float members; a crank member rotatably disposed on a crank shaft; a pair of arms connected at one end to the crank member and at the other end to the first and second levers; means for alternatively introducing and removing a fluid to and from the first and second cylinders; means for alternatively introducing and discharging air to and from the first and second float members when the fluid and air are introduced into the first cylinder and float member, and simultaneously removed from second cylinder and float member. The first float member is caused to rise in the first cylinder and the second float member is caused to fall in the second cylinder. The levers move up and down causing the crank to rotate about its crank shaft.
