pilambus or what ever it called like pilambuies or something like that, this name is similar to the name of a sea-snake. I heard that portugal is a first contry in the world who have started the project on the sea water say in the deep sea, where this pilambus float (which is a adjoined hollow pipes connected with each other like a wagon) and are floating on the sea water, the piston and the pressure machine getting a energy without any fuel creating a free source of energy from it. The sea water in deep area do a activity of up and down, up and down and from this idea the energy generation idea has taken into account.

Anyone has heard about this project.
