A combustor for a gas turbine includes a dome assembly that facilitates extending a useful life of the combustor in a cost-effective and reliable manner. The dome assembly includes a dome plate and a heat shield coupled to the dome plate. The dome plate includes an impingement baffle and an opening extending therethrough and sized to receive a fuel injector. The impingement baffle also includes a plurality of cooling openings in flow communication with the heat shield that direct cooling airflow for impingement cooling and film cooling of the heat shield.

A gravity power plant as in claim 5 wherein: said electrolyte is white vinegar. 7. A gravity power plant as in claim 5 further comprising: means, associated with said expandable chamber, for recovering a gas generated within said expandable chamber. 8. A gravity power plant as in claim 5 further comprising: a valve placed in each of said first and second expandable chambers, whereby a gas is capable of being released through said valve. 9. A gravity power plant as in claim 5 wherein each of said first and second expandable chambers comprises: a top cylinder; a bottom cylinder, said bottom cylinder adapted to slide within said top cylinder; and a seal placed between said top cylinder and said bottom cylinder. 10. A gravity power plant using Archimedes' principle comprising: a first shaft filled with a first liquid; a first expandable chamber placed in said first shaft; a first electrode placed within said first expandable chamber; a first valve associated with said first expandable chamber, whereby steam is capable of selectively being released from said first expandable chamber; a first steam turbine located adjacent a position of said first valve, whereby the steam released from said first valve is directed to said first steam turbine; a first generator coupled to said first steam turbine; a first heat exchanger located adjacent said first steam turbine, whereby heat from the steam exiting said first steam turbine is capable of being exchanged; a second shaft filled with a second liquid; a second expandable chamber placed in said second shaft; a second electrode placed within said second expandable chamber; a second valve associated with said second expandable chamber, whereby steam is capable of selectively being released from said second expandable chamber; a second steam turbine located adjacent a position of said second valve, whereby the steam released from said second valve is directed to said second steam turbine; a second generator coupled to said second steam turbine; a second heat exchanger located adjacent said second steam turbine, whereby heat from the steam exiting said second steam turbine is capable of being exchanged; an electrolyte placed in said first and second expandable chambers; a cable connecting said first and second chambers; a pulley attached to said cable; and a third generator attached to said pulley, whereby said first and second expandable chambers are alternately raised and lowered within respective said first and second shafts causing said pulley to turn and generate electricity. 11. A gravity power plant as in claim 10 wherein each of said first and second expandable chambers comprises: a top cylinder; a bottom cylinder, said bottom cylinder adapted to slide within said top cylinder; and a seal placed between said top cylinder and said bottom cylinder. 12. A method of generating power comprising the steps of: connecting a first expandable chamber to a second expandable chamber with a cable; attaching the cable to a pulley lowering the first expandable chamber into a first shaft filed with a first liquid; generating a first gas within the first expandable chamber causing the first expandable chamber to expand and rise in the first liquid and the second expandable chamber to be lowered into a second shaft filed with a second liquid; expelling the first gas from the first expandable chamber; and generating a second gas within the second expandable chamber causing the second expandable chamber to expand and rise in the second liquid and the first expandable chamber to be lowered into the first shaft; and expelling the secon
