Title:
GENERATING SYSTEM UTILIZING SUPERCONDUCTIVE ELECTROMAGNET
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS558280
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To directly obtain electric power from ocean current and tide by flowing the ocean current between opposite electrodes by utilizing the principle of an MHD generation and applying magnetic fields crossing perpendicualrly to the flowing direction via a superconductive electromagnet. CONSTITUTION:Sea water is flown in the direction of an arrow 5 perpendicularly to the normal line 4 between the electrodes 1 and 2 arranged in parallel. Magnetic fields are formed in the direction 6 by superconductive electromagnets 7 and 8 crossing perpendicularly to the flowing direction as designated by the arrow 5. Accordingly, when the switch 10 of a DC power supply 9 is clsoed by the principle of the MHD generation, the electromagnets 7 and 8 are energized to apply magnetic field thereto. When the switch 10 is then opened and the switch 11 is clsoed, currents will flow through the electromagnets 7 and 8 without attenuation to thereby obtain large electric power between the electrodes 1 and 2.
