Title: Water motor

Abstract: A water motor unit includes a fixed cylinder having an outlet conduit on the bottom thereof and a telescoping sleeve on the upper end thereof. A piston head is disposed for reciprocating movement above the sleeve. The water motor unit is immersed in a container providing a continuous supply of water. When the piston head is in its uppermost position ports provided on the sleeve and the cylinder are open to permit a column of water to flow from the container down through the outlet conduit. As the piston head descends, the sleeve telescopes into the cylinder and closes off the ports in each causing the column of water in the outlet conduit to exert a downward pull on the piston head. When the piston head is in its lowermost position the ports in the sleeve and the cylinder mate at which time water again flows from the container into the cylinder and relieves the pull of the column of water on the piston head.
