PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for constantly and stably obtaining inexpensive electric power at any place without causing polution, and solving problems of current power generation methods.SOLUTION: A system has been studied in which while adopting a pumped-storage power generation system, the atmospheric pressure is utilized for water pumping and thus water is cyclically used. A sucking device using an aspirator is provided in the middle of a waterfall pipe for making water fall to thereby attain a depressurized state and siphon the fallen water to a height. The atmospheric air is transformed into micro bubbles, which are injected into the water in a waterfall direction, thereby permitting the water to free-fall as is done by the current hydroelectric power generation system.
