Description:
TITLE - A Device to Produce Highly Pressurized Compressed Air FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a device to produce high-pressured compressed air using renewable forces like moving particles or mass or weight pressure and tide force or wave force etc., for different compressed air applications. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Energy-efficient new technology has to turn out to be the research focus around the world, especially for Renewable energy. Renewable energy defines as a collection of free energy technologies, i.e., wind, solar, and geothermal derived by sources that are never-ending and can be refilled time to time. Renewable sources are sustainable, renewable, pollution-free, naturally abundant, and eco-friendly. Most countries in the world are highly dependent on fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal) as sources of energy to influence their economies. Unsurprisingly, the usage of non-renewable sources of energy has a multiplicity of harmful impacts on our atmosphere. The Disadvantages of Non-Renewable Energy are ➢ Non-renewable energies usages are leading to high levels of pollutions. ➢ Non-renewables have limited availability. ➢ Non-renewables combustion is dangerous to all kind of organism health. ➢ Air pollution, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases, in particular carbon dioxide and methane. ➢ Land pollution and waste generation. ➢ Due to non-renewable energy, Climate change is significantly impacting exonyms. Compared to traditional energy production such as fossil fuels, renewable technology faces many challenges for large-scale power generation. which depend entirely on the nature (e.g., sun, rain and wind) to use any form of energy. the most important drawback is that no energy can be generated if the atmospheric conditions are not adequate. ✓ Hydro generators require enough rain to fill dams for their supply of flowing water. ✓ Wind turbines require wind blowing, at least with minimum wind speed, to move their blades. ✓ Solar panels need clear skies and sunshine to get the heat required to generate electricity, and at night it isn’t collected. Compressed air is found in a wide range of applications produced by compressors. Compressor is a device that increases the pressure of the working medium above the atmospheric pressure. After the compression process, the compressed air is converted into mechanical energy and generated for its use. Compressed air plays an important role in almost all industries, including Aerospace, Chemical Manufacturing, Electronics, Automotive, Food and Beverage, Glass Manufacturing, General Manufacturing, Hospitals/Medical, Pharmaceuticals, Power Generation, Plastics, Wood Products, and more. Most of the countries use compressed air in their industries to increase production. the benefits of compressed air have led to the growth of many new businesses and saved their precious time, energy, and money. There are many different types of compressors and different technologies are used in the industry. The choice of compressors depends on various factors, such as capacity, pressure, cost, running cost, maintenance cost, availability of parts, etc. Industrial compressors are the main of equipment in various type of manufacturing plants. Sometimes referred to as the fourth application, maintaining a high- supply of compressed air is just as important as paying the electricity bills and manufacturing operations for many outlets. The production cost of compressed air is more expensive that is 30% or more of the electricity consumed at the plant. On average, one HP required about seven or eight horsepower (HP) of electricity to produce compressed air power. Some companies use an estimate of 30 cents to 50 cents per 1000 cubic feet of air but in reality, the actual cost can vary greatly. Future sustainable energy systems need to introduce integrated storage technologies. Currently, there are many ways to store the energy, such as pumped hydroelectric storage (PHS), compressed air storage system (CAES), flywheel storage, battery and more. Among them, PHS and CAES are suitable for large- scale energy storage (>100 MW). PHS is limited by geographical conditions and is less competitive due to its longer construction period and higher investment cost. One of these technologies is compressed air energy storage (CAES). Compressed air energy storage involves the conversion of electrical energy into high-pressure compressed air which can then be used at later. The major problems with Compressed-air energy storage plants are the operation of the compressors of the motors. Therefore, it requires more electrical power. The pressurized air is then heated and elevated by burning natural gas in higher- pressure air before entering the air turbine, which expands into the expansion air turbine and drives the generator to produce electricity. In conventional systems, the heat generated by the compression of the air is lost to the atmosphere and polluted by carbon dioxide and heat emissions. To produce electricity, cold, compressed air must be heated as it expands, which requires fuel. The necessity for additional heat in the expansion process is a most significant disadvantage. according to some estimates, 1 kWh of natural gas will be required for every 3-kWh generated from CAES system. This can be very complicated if fossil fuels are used for heat. As natural gas prices increase, the economics may, at present, fail miserably.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: The pumps of many pistons are connected with the differently structured common tubes, and tubes fill the inside of the tube with high-pressure compressed air or gas. there is a piston F2.5 or F3.3 at the end of the tubes and it moves back and forth when the compressed air is pressurized by an external force. The forward and backward motion of the F2.5 or F3.3 piston is converted into rotational motion in the gearbox which is used to lift the weight one by one of figure 4 containers. The external force is amplified, regulated, and controlled using a gearbox. When the compressed air is pressurized by an external force, the weight at the bottom of the cylinder is moved upwards one by one using the gearbox. similarly, all weights are moved to the maximum height of the cylinder by external force through gearbox. after all the weights of the piston have reached the maximum height (figure 4), the container is filled with compressed air or suitable gas. All collected heavyweights of the piston are released downwards at the same time, so, the effect of the heavyweight is that the compressed air is highly compressed again and again. finally, highly compressed air is collected through (figure 5) an air container for different applications or used directly for different applications like generating electricity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING: Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a piston pump. The piston can move forth and back based on the movement of compressed air and external force.
