Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/221624
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
"Hydropower multiplier" means a method and device for using water pressure, obtained on the basis of a natural waterfall or in any other way, as an energy source, which this pressure, as the initial energy source, uses an unlimited number of times, multiplying these initial quantities. Water pressure, as a straight-line energy, is taken over at given level of pressure and directed, in principle in the horizontal direction, that water undergoes multiple conversion process into circulation, at the same pressure level in both straight and horizontal directions, to desired and projected quantities, by means of the desired and projected number of converters of the straight-line into the circular motion (Figure 1). Once used power of the pressure is not wasted, but it is directed to the next converter of straight-line into a rotary movement, and so an unlimited number of times, that is, the desired and projected number of times, and in the case of using a natural waterfall, then retention of those amounts of energy too.

Description:
HYDROPOWER MULTIPLIER

Technical filed

The invention refers to the technique of generating energy.

Background art

Background art starts with the use of different natural sources of energy potentials. In addition to the unevenness of their layout on the earth's surface, the use of some of them by applying the existing technique leaves harmful effects on the natural environment.

There are various forms of using natural energy potentials for obtaining energy such as hydro, thermal, wind, solar, atomic and other power plants, which, in addition to using the most developed techniques and technologies, fail to overcome the resource limitations in affordable ways.

Disclosure of invention

The essence of the invention is reflected in the multiple use of water pressure as a source of energy, obtained on the basis of natural waterfall or artificially. The available quantity of water under pressure is directed rectilinearly, in the horizontal direction, through the pipes of the appropriate diameter and projected length, in which the cylinders with spiral slots turn into rotary energy. By multiple repeating this procedure, a multiplicity of energy is obtained in regard to the initial energy.

Using natural falls to obtain water pressure saves the energy needed to initiate and maintain the operation of the device, but it is lost on its mobility.

By using one part of obtained energy as an initial one, the sources of this energy become unlimited and equally accessible at each point on the Earth's sphere. Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1 shows the overall appearance of the device on which, in principle, from an unlimited number, only four converters of the straight line motion (in principle horizontal position at the same height level) into the rotary motion are illustrated, indicated by numbers 1 , 2, 3 and 4. The following external or visible parts of the device are the flow reservoirs, indicated in Figure 1 , by numbers 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. In the overall view (Figure 1 ), the access openings of these reservoirs are numbered 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19, and rotary shafts of converter are numbered with 20, 21 , 22 and 23. The final outflow opening is marked with the number 10. The use of water power on the outflow opening of the last reservoir is shown by a symbolic image of the classic turbine, which is indicated in Figure 1 , by number 24. The reservoir itself, in which the water, used in the system, finally flows away, is marked with number 25. In Figure 1 of the overall view of device, the number 11 marks a culvert of used water. Used water is drawn to the height reservoir by reversible pumps (12) for the reuse, in the case when the device is autonomous. A height reservoir is marked by number 13 and a number 14 indicates a water pillar with height, which is determined by the project when it comes to the autonomous device, or by the natural height, in case the natural waterfall is used as initial energy.

In the case of a circular-flow solution, the exhaust opening at the last reservoir would be connected to the exhaust pipe to the initial closed inlet reservoir, and circular-reversible pumps would be placed at the position of the reversible pumps; it may be the same types of pumps, with different end goals. A reversible pump would pump water into the initial open water reservoir, marked with number 13 on the overall view of the system, while circular pumps would pump water into that same but closed initial reservoir, which would be pressurized with the same system pressure. Figure 2 of the drawing shows the cross-section view of the converter cylinder with spiral slots. Number 1 marks the rotary shaft of the cylinder, number 2 marks the body of the cylinder, including the rotary shaft, number 3 denotes the spiral slots that are shaded.

Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional joint, facing or viewed from the side to the cross-section of the cylinder with spiral slots. Number 1 in Figure 3 is a shaded opening for the rotary shaft of the cylinder with spiral slots, the number 2 marks the body of the cross-sectional joint (unshaded part), number 3 marks the opening for free access to water from inlet and outlet reservoirs. Number 4 in Figure 3 shows the holes for fixing the cross- sectional joint, which is installed between the reservoir and the outer tube of the converter. Rubber seals are placed on both sides of the cross- sectional joints to prevent flow away or leakage of water even under the maximum anticipated pressure. Number 5 denotes the limit of the thickness of the outer tube of the converter, on whose twisted part the cross-sectional joint is attached.

Figure 4 shows the cross-sectional joint from the profile. Number 1 in Figure 4 marks one of the cross-sectional joints observed from the profile. Best Mode for Carrying Out of the Invention

Figure 1 of the invention illustration shows not only the picturesque way of the invention as a whole, but also makes visible all of its main parts except for only two of its main parts, namely: a cylinder with spiral slots (Figure 2) and a cross-sectional joint (Figures 3 and 4) and four auxiliary parts, which are: axial bearings, infundibular protective tube at the outlet rotary shafts and two types of tires, such as inner bicycle tires, with pressurized air.

Water under pressure, as the sole energy carrier, comes via the water pillar (Figure 1 , 14) into a single, inflow-outflow reservoir. The water from this reservoir enters under pressure in the converter (Fig. 1 ; 1 ). In the converter, water under pressure turns cylinder with spiral slots inside the outer tube of the converter in the opposite direction from the direction of the spirals. The spirals are mounted on the peripheral part of the cylinder (Fig. 2) at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis of the 90 cylinder.

Alternatively, the spiral slots can also be opened to the periphery of the cylinder.

The pressure can also be provided by pumping water from the standing water reserves as well as already used water that continuously circulates 95 in the system. The system can be completely open with the water pillar at the beginning and the opening at the end of the system, it can be completely closed both at the beginning and at the end of the system or semi-open, ie, open at the end of the system.

The energy obtained by turning the cylinder with spiral slots is transmitted loo over the outbound part of the shaft (Fig.1 ; 20). This outbound part of the shaft is covered with a funnel pipe with a built-in tire with a pressurized air that prevents the swelling of the water under pressure around the shaft. Alternative transfer of rotational energy can also be carried out in the pressurized water environment itself, by carrying out the transmission 105 along the vertical above the height of the water pillar, in which case any possibility of leaking water from the system is avoided.

A cylinder with spiral slots is positioned inside visible outer tube, in the picture of the invention drawing (FIG. 1 ; 1 ) via the cross-sectional joint (Figures 3 and 4).

no The gap between the outer tube and the cylinder with the spiral slots is optimally reduced, and the reduction of the water flow between the outer tube and the cylinder can also be achieved by installing above mentioned tire with pressurized air.

The cylinder with spiral slots leans on the cross-sectional joint via the axial ns bearings around the output rotary shaft. Since through the double inflow-outflow reservoirs and the last single reservoir and their converters, natural waterfall and the same water quantity is provided, it is logical to conclude that the sum of the powers 120 obtained through all the converters, regardless of how many converters are installed in one system, will be equal to the excess power above its initial quantity, given that the initial quantity remains available at the end of the system. In the case of providing water pressure by pumps, the amount of power required to start these pumps is deducted from the said sum.

125 The pressure and amount of water available are either given by natural conditions and circumstances or by the project in the case of mobile systems, and the dimensions of the converters and inflow-outflow reservoirs are determined accordingly. In the described case it is possible to start from the diameter of the cylinder of 2 meters and the length which i3o corresponds to one circle of spiral slots at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis.

Given the presented above, the multiplication of hydro power cannot be in conflict with the basic laws of physics on the sustainability or indestructibility of energy, but precisely the opposite of that, confirmation 135 of that law.

Industrial Applicability

The mode of industrial or other application of the invention is reflected in the production of electricity by means of an electric generator in order to meet the needs of industrial use as well as the needs for end-use.
