| CLAIMS 1 ) The use of air under pressure (in principle gas under pressure) as a source of energy is a process that, unlike the existing way of using wind as an energy source, as a rare natural phenomenon, uneven power, and with its single use, uses artificially induced and channelled air movement with uniform and desired power and its multiple use for obtaining energy, specified by, that the air is pulled through the pipe-channel of the desired length and the desired diameter, by the fans, which are placed at the end, at the outlet of the pipe-channel, which by their operation cause the movement of air through a pipe- channel, in which they are placed, on the central shaft, a projected number of converters of straight-line air motion into circulating motion, whose rotational power, above the amount of energy needed for its rotation, is used as a source of energy. 2) The use of air under pressure (in principle gas under pressure) as an energy source is a process with all the properties of the process as under 1 , specified by closing of the air circulation circuit, in parallel, or otherwise arranged, more or less of pipe- channels, connected in a single spatial unit, so that it is possible to regulate the air pressure in it. 3) The use of air under pressure (in principle, gas under pressure) as a source of energy is a device which, unlike the existing way of using wind as a source of energy, as a rare natural phenomenon, uneven power, and with its single use, through various known types of windmills, uses artificially induced and channelled air movement with uniform and desired power, as a source of energy, specified by, the fact that the fans mounted on the outlet of the pipe-channel are pulling pressurized air and channelling its straight line movement through the pipe-channel of the projected length, whose power is converted, by a larger number of converters, which consist of a large number of concentrically placed shortened tubes connected by spiral bulkheads set at an angle of up to 45 degrees in relation to the air movement, mounted on the central shaft in the pipe- channel, into the power of rotational movement, and in multiplied quantities relative to the energy needed to operate the fan, is transformed into electricity by the electric generator. 4) The use of pressurized air (in principle pressurized gas) as an energy source is a device with all elements as under 3, specified by, that the air circulation closes in the pipe-channels, which are sealed in such a way that the air pressure can be regulated in it. |
Technical Field
The invention refers to the technique of obtaining energy.
Background Art When it comes to moving air under pressure as a source of energy, the existing technique knows various types of windmills, which use the wind as a spontaneous natural phenomenon with very uneven power. In addition, the technique of using such uneven power and irregular natural phenomena, such as the wind, is extremely irrational and is reflected in a low percentage of utilization of the surface of the impact power of the wind, which is defined by the wind turbines. Instead of 5 to 6%, covered by three or four propellers in the existing system, using the solution of the present invention, this percentage is significantly higher, and it is possible to significantly exceed that surface.
The present invention solves in a perfect manner the question of the continuity of the occurrence and the uniformity of the pressurized air movement power as an energy source, with the possibility of multiple use of initial power as the main characteristic of the present invention.
Disclosure of Invention
The essence of the invention is reflected in multiple use of artificially induced and channelled air movement, essentially gas movement, under pressure, as an energy source. Artificial channelling of air movement under pressure is achieved by the construction of a pipe-channel defined, i.e. , projected length and diameter and mounting of the appropriate fans in the pipe-channel or at the end of the pipe-channel. The fans are mounted for pushing or pulling the air in the pipe-channel, thus achieving the desired speed and the amount of air movement in it. The air pressure is given by the height of the air pillar and it has equal heights at each point of the same altitude on the Earth. In the closed pipe-channel system, air pressure can be reduced and increased.
In the middle of the pipe-channel, a shaft is set where a large number of converters of straight-line motion into rotational motion are mounted. With the corresponding length and diameter of pipe- channel, and according to that, the number and the diameter of the converters, the desired ratio between the energy required for the operation of the fans, which ensure the corresponding speed of the straight line air movement in the pipe-channel, and the total generated rotary energy by the converter. It is assumed that the total energy produced exceeds the amount of energy necessary for the operation of the fan by far and that is in accordance with pre-planned and built technical capacities.
The sources of this energy are pure and unlimited and are equally distributed at each point of the same altitude on the Earth, and in the closed systems of pipe-channel, in accordance with the designed and built capacities and artificially regulated pressure, these sources become independent of the ground-level air pressure. Brief Description of Drawings
FIG. 1 is a graphic representation (one part) of converters of straight- line air motion into a rotational air motion.
Since it is an explanation of the principle of operation, only one part of the rotor is shown as sufficient for this explanation. The rotor of this converter is not comparable to the rotor of some of the existing and prevailing three-propeller windmills, since, instead of the propellers in the existing system, here are spirally placed bulkheads, at an angle of 45 degrees, in relation to the direction of air motion. Spiral bulkheads are located between concentrically set stabilizing shorted pipes which, instead of 5 to 6% of the surface of the rotor in three- propeller windmills, can cover a much larger imaginary surface of the rotor, i.e. the surface of the impact power of the air, and it can also exceed it.
This figure represents a part of the rotor-converter placed in a vertical position with a graphical representation of the radial and circular partition. In these partitions, there is also a picturesque view of the spiral bulkheads that relate to this imaginary surface. Of course, the shape and surface of these bulkheads, in practical embodiment, do not have to correspond to that imaginary surface of the rotor, and the surface of all the spiral bulkheads of one rotor may be smaller or larger than that of its imaginary surface.
The example shows that the rotor-converter is divided into five concentric circuits, five concentrically placed shortened pipes, in which the spiral bulkheads are configured. In the first circuit, nearest to the centre, there are 8 spiral bulkheads, with only one shown in the figure, marked with number 1/1. In the second circuit, within the second shortened pipe, there are 16 spiral bulkheads, of which only two are shown, marked with numbers 2/1 and 2/2. In the third circuit, within the third shortened pipe, there are 32 spiral bulkheads, of so which only two are numbered, namely 3/1 and 3/2. In the 4th and 5th circuits, within the fourth and fifth shortened pipes, there are 64 spiral bulkheads, of which only two are marked with appropriate numbers.
The radius of the shortened pipes in this example are 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 m with that the radius of the narrowest shortened pipe is divided 85 into two equal parts of 1.5 meters each so that the first 1.5 meters refers to the ring around shaft. The first narrowest shortened pipe is marked by number 1 , second pipe by number 2, third pipe by number 3, fourth pipe by number 4 and fifth shortened pipe of the converter by number 5.
90 This example starts from the length of the shortened pipe corresponding to the thirtieth part of a circuit of spiral on the periphery of the shortened pipe with the largest radius, which in this case is 4.2 m, and that length corresponds to the length of the spiral bulkhead in this pipe. In other shortened pipes, the spiral bulkheads 95 are shorter in proportion to their diameters, although shortened pipes can remain the same length.
The shortened pipes of the rotor and the spiral bulkheads are interconnected so that they serve each other as stabilizing elements, which form a single unit.
loo FIG. 2 shows a pipe-channel, with a central shaft and its supports, in which pressurized air flows and in which, at certain intervals on the central shaft, the converters are mounted. These converters (rotors) are not shown in this figure for clarity. Figure 1 shows these converters (rotors) in more detail.
io5 The central shaft is numbered by 1 , the main support is numbered by 2, the auxiliary and the sighting or positioning supports are marked with numbers 3 and 4, while the circumference of the pipe-channel itself is numbered by 5.
Figure 3 shows the possible layout of a ventilator that pushes the air no in the pipe-channel or pulls the air at the end of the pipe-channel.
Best Mode of Carrying Out of the Invention
Air movement power multiplier is a process and a device that multiplies the energy of the air motion under pressure (in principle gas motion) in that way, as the air, that is already under pressure of ii5 about one kilogram per square centimetre on earth's surface, channels through the system of the pipe-channels. In this channel, his once-artificially induced movement is used unlimited i.e. projected number of times, as a multiplied source of energy. The pipe-channel system can be permeable, i.e. open at the inlet and outlet or 120 completely closed so that in the closed pipe-channel system it is possible to adjust the air pressure to its most rational use.
Closed system implies artificially induced circular movement of air inside the pipe-channel. In addition to the possibility of regulating the air pressure, the advantage of the dosed pipe-channel type is also 125 reflected in the more rational use of a fan which, in addition to pulling the air on one side, uses its push to the other side, and then the possibility of dragging foreign objects into the system is avoided.
The movement of air inside the pipe-channel is achieved by means of an existing fan system, located at the outlet end of the pipe-channel, 130 or within the pipe-channel in the case of a closed type. Fig. 3 shows the possible layout of one of such fans.
A common shaft is mounted through the center of the pipe-channel to which the converters of the energy of the straight-line into the circular motion are mounted. The number and diameter of these converters is 135 dictated by the length and diameter of the pipe-channel, and by their number and size, the ratio between the total amount of energy obtained and the amount of energy required for the operation and power of the fan is determined. It is assumed that the total energy produced significantly exceeds the amount of energy necessary for i4o the operation of the fan and that is in accordance with pre-planned and built technical capacities. The resulting mechanical energy is transformed into electricity by an electric generator. Fig. 1 shows the possible solution of the converter of the straight line mechanical energy movement into the rotational movement. i45 Industrial Applicability
