Detailed Description of the Invention

In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the invention is described only for clarifying the subject matter in a manner such that no limiting effect is created.

The inventive power generation system mainly comprises the following:

- vehicle (1) moving on the movement floor (2) located in a closed area (6),

- starting motor (4) that supplies the electrical energy required for the vehicle

(1) to move,

- used in the production of electrical energy: o propellers and geared dynamos located on the vehicle (1), the movement floor (2) and the wall (3), o also dynamos (13) that are located on the vehicle (1 ), o roller elements (33) that are located on the wall (3), o battery (5) where the electrical energy produced is stored or the main electricity network where it is transmitted

- used in the production of heat energy: o said dynamos (13) that are located on the vehicle (1 ), o said roller elements (33) that are located on the wall (3),

- water pipes (34) that are heated by generated heat energy

. Explanations for these elements are given below. The closed area (6) is the circle/circular closed area. The closed area (6) is preferably in a tunnel-like structure and is the section where the formed wind rotates as the vehicle (1 ) moves.

The vehicle (1) is moving in a closed area (6) (e.g. tunnel) in the form of a ring/circle and receives its energy/first motion from the starting motor (4). As for that the motion is transferred to the wheels through the differential system (7) in vehicles used in the state of the art, in the same manner, motion is also transferred to the movement elements (14) by means of an electric motor or a gasoline engine, by means of the differential system (7) in the inventive system. The starting motor (4) can be positioned on the vehicle (1). In this case, preferably, the transmission to the movement elements (14) to the shafts of the movement elements (14) is performed by means of the gear wheel (71 ). Starting motor (4) can be located under movement floor (2) (such as rail etc.). In this case, the first movement can be given to the movement elements (14) (wheels, etc.) with the gear wheel (71 ).

There is preferably wheel or pallet-like movement elements (14) at the bottom of the vehicle (1) and the vehicle (1) moves on the movement floor (2) by means of said movement elements (14). There is also at least one propeller 1 (11 ), at least one motor

1 (12) and at least one dynamo (13) on the vehicle (1). The propeller 1 (11) can be positioned on the left side, right side, top or bottom side of the vehicle (1), namely, on every side of the vehicle (1). The motor 1 (12) receives the electricity obtained by the rotation of the propeller 1 (11 ) and transmits it to the battery (6) or the main electricity network. While the vehicle (1) is moving, the dynamo (13) contacts the roller elements (33) and ensures that the vehicle (1) is attached to the right and left walls (3) and prevents the vehicle (1 ) from tumbling down by the centrifugal force and also generates electrical energy by means of the frictional rotation as a result of said contact and transfers this electrical energy to the battery (5) or the main electricity network.

Geared dynamos (geared dynamo 1 (12), geared dynamo 2 (22), geared dynamo 3 (32)) convert the motion energy coming from the propellers (propeller 1 (11), propeller

2 (21), propeller 3 (31 )) into electrical energy. Since the geared dynamos are geared, the incoming energy is converted into electricity at a constant voltage, that is, the electric current does not come out of the system in a fluctuating manner. The movement floor (2) is the area on which the vehicle (1) moves. At least one propeller 2 (21) and at least one geared dynamo 2 (22) are positioned on the movement floor (2). Said propeller 2 (21) and geared dynamo 2 (22) are placed on the movement floor (2) in such a way that they do not prevent the vehicle (1) from moving. The geared dynamo 2 (22) receives the electricity obtained by the rotation of the propeller 2 (21) and transmits it to the battery (5) or the main electricity network.

The walls (3) form the closed area (6) from the sides and are located on both sides of the movement floor (2). There is at least one propeller 3 (31 ), at least one geared dynamo 3 (32), at least one roller element (33) and at least one water pipe (34) on the wall (3). The roller element (33) is rotated by the dynamos (13) during the movement of the vehicle (1) by contacting with the dynamos (13) and they are heated due to friction. As a result of said heating, the roller element (33) heats the water pipe (34) placed just behind the roller element (33) inside the wall (3). Thus, the water inside the water pipe (34) is heated.

The starting motor (1 ) supplies the electrical energy required for the vehicle (1 ) to move so as to enable said vehicle (4) to be started. The energy obtained after the production of electrical energy can also be given here as feed energy later on. The starting motor (4) can be an electric motor or a gasoline engine. If the starting motor (4) is an electric motor, the transmission to the movement elements (14)/to the shaft of the movement elements (14) is performed via a cable instead of a gear wheel (71 ) (same as the transmission system in electric cars used in the state of the art). In a preferred embodiment, electric motor is an alternating current electric motor, but it can also be direct current.

Electrical energy may be transferred to the starting motor (4) from the main electricity network or the battery (5), again via energy transmission cables (51) when the vehicle is not operating (namely when the vehicle is stationary). However, if a gasoline engine is used as the starting motor (4), the energy generation system cannot be fed again. The more the vehicle (1) moves with the movement given by the starting motor (4), the more the power generation system operates during this movement time. When the vehicle (1) stops (due to friction etc.), the vehicle (1) is moved again by the starting motor (4). The aim of the inventive power generation system is not to provide infinite energy but to eliminate loss of energy by taking advantage of the wind energy created by a vehicle (1) moving with the energy taken from the starting motor (4) in the closed area (6). Same as the rotational energy of the wheels is restored to the system in hybrid vehicles, the aim of the inventive power generation system is to take advantage of the eddy that occurs during the movement of the vehicle (1).

The battery (5) is the element in which the electrical energy obtained from the inventive system is collected, but it is not a mandatory element for the inventive system. In case the battery (5) is used, the battery (5) can be located anywhere in the power generation system. The energy obtained can be stored in the battery (5) via the power transmission cables (51 ). The process of storing electrical energy is carried out in the same way as in the state of the art. The energy obtained by the geared dynamos can be transferred to the battery (5) via the power transmission cables (51) located in the upper part of the closed area (6) where the vehicle (1) moves. When the battery (5) is not used, the energy obtained is directly transferred to the main electricity network by means of the power transmission cables (51) located in the upper part of the closed area (6).

The operation manner of the inventive power generation system is as follows: First of all, the starting motor (4) is started.

- Then, the starting motor (4) operates the vehicle (1 ).

When the vehicle (1) is started, the vehicle (1) moves on the movement floor (2) by means of the movement elements (14) and starts to move in the closed area (6).

Air current/wind generated during said movement by the rotation of the propeller 1 (11) on the vehicle (1) (preferably a plurality of), the propeller 2 (21) on the movement floor (2) (preferably a plurality of), propeller 3 (31) on the walls (3) (preferably a plurality of) and the power generated as a result of the rotation of said propellers is collected by the geared dynamo 1 (12) on the vehicle (1), the geared dynamo 2 (22) on the movement floor (2), and the geared dynamo 3 (32) on the walls (3), to which said propellers are connected.

- Geared dynamos transfer this electrical energy to the battery (5) or the main electricity network via energy transmission cables (51). The energy collected in the said battery (5) can be re-joined into the system, namely, it can be transmitted to the starting motor (4) or it can be transmitted to the devices in the building (in the under building uses of the system).

Furthermore, during said movement of the vehicle (1), the dynamos (13) on the vehicle (1) rub against the roller elements (33) on the walls (3) and while the dynamos (13) rotate, the electrical energy obtained by the dynamos (13) is transferred to the battery (5) or the main electricity network by means of the energy transmission cables (51) in the upper section of the closed area (6) where the vehicle (1) moves. In an alternative embodiment, electricity is transferred via cables through the hook system located on the trams used in the state of the art.

At this time, that is, during said movement of the vehicle (1), while the dynamos (13) are rubbing against the cylindrical elements (33), the heat generated due to friction heats the water pipes (34) behind the roller elements (33) and the water inside the water pipe (34) is also heated. The heated water can be delivered to the places where hot water is used in the building (under-building uses of the system).

Thus, maximum efficiency is obtained from the energy used for the starting motor (4).

The inventive power generation system for example can be installed under a building. Thus, since the air flow that occurs during the movement of the vehicle (1 ) will occur severely in the closed area (6), the electrical energy obtained can be used to operate the devices in the building. Furthermore, the water in the water pipes (34) heated by the heat energy generated by the roller elements (33) can also be used for the heating systems in the building.

There is not such as situation as infinite energy in the inventive system. The inventive power generation system operates in accordance with the law of conservation of energy. In the inventive system, using the generated energy at maximum efficiency aims to recover the energy lost in the system as in hybrid vehicles.
