A renewable energy for oil exchange system comprising: A modular computer controlled oil sand spiral surface mining apparatus having a pivoting circular steel building assembled on a ring shaped reinforced concrete foundation at a specifically selected location within a oil sand field. A ring shaped railway steel track at the top to support a modular four-boom crane with a plurality of "Electromagnetic Wheels" chassis that provides 360 degrees of rotation freedom. A servicing helicopter landing platform at the top of the central tower for servicing, assisting with the construction and maintenance of the system. Laboratory and office supervisor space at the top inside the building also provide containment of fumes and air condition inside. Four diametrically opposed X, Y, Z, precision mining ladles each suspended by four cables from their crane chassis having carbide cutters powered by electric motors to grind the sand and rock to small bits. Four diametrically opposed hoppers trailing the mining ladles with augers to provide sand feed control. The four hoppers download the oil sand into a main giant size stainless steel bowl for separation of the bitumen by steam provided by four Hydrogen Rotary Generator and also having make-up electric heaters for precise temperature control. The partly washed sand slur is further crushed and press filtered by the Hydrogen Oil Sand Extraction Apparatus and returned back to the bitumen separation bowl respective ports, after being separated into bitumen and fine sand. Four diametrically opposed sand tailing spreaders for depositing the clean sand into reinforced sand bags back from where it was mined. The bitumen is collected by a surface skimmer and shipped out by pipeline to a refinery. The modular cross suspension bridge like structure overhead crane provides a means to progressively increase the radius of operation by adding more modules and to mine while depositing the clean sand tailings opposite, back to the site being mined after having extracted the bitumen and fine tailings with rotary crushers and progressively finer filtering presses for their containment into large plastic bags to prevent contamination of the clean sand. Electric power and hydrogen fuel for the operation requirements is provided by Electromagnetic Propellers Modules anchored in nearby river current intensifiers built from washed sand, piped out and mixed with concrete into inflatable molds anchored to the surgically adapted river bottom. After the area has been mined the system can be disassembled, relocated and reassembled elsewhere, including other types of mining operations.
