Abstrakt: The article presents a study which examined floats and other devices that observe the upper part of the world's ocean using a buoyancy engine for autonomous marine vehicles. It is stated that the buoyancy engine has a good energy efficiency and endurance with an observation depth of more than 3,000 meters. Schematic diagram of the buoyancy engine which include the hydraulic circuit and internal reservoir is explained.
