Mankind has been drawing incalculable benefits from electricity since its advent. Undeniably, the production of electricity and its use are nothing less than miracles. A life without electricity is simply unthinkable in today's world.

Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. We can only change its forms, using appropriate energy conversion process. An interesting and highly useful type of the energy is its Electrical Form. The most distinctive feature of this form of energy is that neither we have an access to this directly from nature nor it is required to be ultimately consumed in that raw form

Hydel power is the most important renewable source of power. Besides, this source is the cleanest form of power, emitting no green house of gas or other pollutants. It has another characteristic of quick start up and shut down which makes it suitable for supplying peaking power.

Known hydro-electric generating equipment or systems have limitations in terms of cost-effectiveness, or there are systems based on the utility of hydraulic pressure in form of huge man made reservoirs (dams) rivers waterfalls or tidal waved, also the civil constructions and housing of turbines, errectibn of large generators etc. all adds up to a huge expenditure of time and economy The present invention addresses these problems without compromising on quality and quantity of power generation.

JOINING OF A BOX

Bearing shown in fig 2 is to be fixed on the two bearing seats on the half boxes

135 shown in fig 1. After that the shaft of the rotor shown in fig 3 is to be fitted tight, protruding through the bearing hole of a half box. When fitted tight, the threaded portion of the end of the shaft should be protruded outside the bearing seat. Later, the second rotor is to be fitted tight on the second bearing hole of the above half box. Here also the threaded portion of the end of the shaft should be

140 protruded outside the bearing seat.

Later join the first half box and the second half box together using the plate rubber washer in the middle and keep tight by using nuts and bolts. Now the 2 shafts are protruding outside the box on both sides. Then the dynamos are fitted tightly on the armature shaft protruding outside the shaft. Keep the 4 clamps of

145 the outer side of the dynamo on the 4 clamps of the outer portion of the bearing seat on the box so as to tight them using nut and bolt. Now construction one box is completed. These boxes have a dimension of 175mm height, 220mm breadth, and 95mm width. Now both sides(square column) of this box are open. 2268 nos. of such boxes are to be made.

150 Now place the stand on top place where the water comes from a height of 7 metre if the source of water is a water fall and that goes downwards Then, the

stand shown in fig 16 is to be fixed on the side of the bore- well. Then take a U- bend without air hole. Positions the U bend on the left side corner of the basement of the stand such that the open end comes upwards. Place the rubber

155 washer on the left open end and place one box on it such that the dynamo must come inwards to the U-bend. Then Second box has to be fitted on the first box. Likewise 28 boxes are to be fitted at a height of 5 meters one after another. Second line of 28 boxes are also be fitted on the right end of the U bend. Built the third line of 28 boxes and place the U-bend with air valve, on the second and

160 third line so as to connect these two lines .In such a way all the boxes are to be fitted in 9 lines in zigzag direction. 28 boxes are required in each line. U-bend with out air valve in the lower portion and U- bend with air valve should be on the upper portion. The last line of the first layer will be connected with the last line of second layer by the U-bend. Likewise all the boxes and U-bend area to be

165 connected in such away that 9 layers of 9 lines are interconnected

Later ball valve is to be fitted using nut and bolts above the open end of the box fitted in the first line. Now we have to connect the water tank (narrow mouth of the tank) above the ball valve such a way that the water in the water tank comes through the ball valve.

170 Connect square type iron pipes along with rubber washer using nut and bolt one by one, the length of the pipe must be same as the distance between the tank and the water-fall. The water from the waterfall comes through the pipe, to the water tank. Now close the ball valve, to avoid the flow of water. The second ball valve is also be fitted over this pipe. Now connect the iron pipe to the power box

175 of the 9 lines by two bend pipes and the other end should be at the stream where the water goes down. The total length of this pipe is 100 metre . After that, close the ball valve placed under the water tank, and fill the water tank using 1 HP pump set if the source of water is a bore well. Open all the air valves of the U-bend on the power box and close the ball valve placed on the bore-well.

180 Now open the first ball valve and let the water flow into the boxes. If the air inside the box is discarded, i.e. if water is flowing through air valve, close the air valve one by one. After filling the entire power box, open the 2 nd ball valve and let the water flow into the bore-well. When the water is of 1m high stop the ball valve. Now all the boxes are filled with water. Pour extra water to fill the water

185 tank again. Now the construction of the plant is over. To protect the plant from rain and sunlight lay a plastic sheet on the power box. EXAMPLES

9072 dynamos are functioning through the 2268 box (4 dynamo each in a box). Divide these dynamo sets into 22 groups. 20 groups have 412 dynamos each

190 and 2 group of 416 Dynamo each i.e. 412 dynamo X 20 = 8240 dynamo 416 dynamo X 2 = 832 Dynamo

22 9072 Dynamo

195 Like wise we can divide 22 Transformers into 5 series (i.e. I type and Il type). The I & Il series of transformer include 5 each, I type transformers. In III& IV series

includes 4 transfomers of I type. And in V series includes 2 transformers of I type and 2 transformers of Il type.

Join the +ve line of 412 dynamos and connect it to the +ve line of the primary

200 pole of the first transformer in the I series. Like that -ve line also be connected to the transformer. Thus we make 20 groups of 412 dynamos and 2 groups of

416 dynamos. Like wise connect all the I & Il type transformer with 22 group of dynamos. Thus we have 22 group of transformers in I stage. Next we have to go to Il stage. First join all the +ve line of I series transformers of I stage and

205 connect it with the first transformer of the Il stage. Like wise connect the -ve line also. Thus connect II, III IV and V series of transformers to the second, third, fourth and fifth transformers respectively. Now let us go to the III stage. +ve lines of the Il stage transformer are to be joined and connect to the positive line of the III stage transformer and all -ve lines should be joined to the -ve line of

210 the III stage transformer. From this III stage transformer we can draw electricity and can connect to supply line for various uses. From this transformer we get

1250 VoIt, 72.54A current.

FUNCTIONING OF THE PLANT

Open these two valve placed at the same time. Suddenly the water in the boxes 215 starts flowing downwards. By this strength of the flowing water, the fan fixed in the box start to rotate and thus dynamo also start to work. Due to this strength of flowing water the fan will rotate at 1500RPM. That means from 9072 dynamos we get 9072 A 10V current. These current supply line are connected to I stage Transformer (i.e. 22 Transformer of 5 series). From these

220 transformers we get 82.4 A 50 V each and from the Il stage transformers we get

82.5 A 250 V and from the III stage transformer we get 1250 V 72.54 A current.

Thus Cosist Auto Hydro Kino Seerio Electro Plant gives us 90675 KW/hr current while 9072 dynamo is on working.

By increasing the number of boxes we can consume more energy from this plant 225 or by using one or more same type of plant in the same place we can take sufficient electricity
