Technical Field of the Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for power generation using multiple water channels based torque generation apparatus. More particularly, the invention relates to methods and systems for generating power by rotating a conical frustum, about a horizontal axis by passing water through pipes that are attached spirally to. entire outer surface of the conical frustum.

Background of the Invention

|0002j . Generally, to generate power using a moveable mechanical assembly, for example, a rotatable cylinder or cone-like structure or turbines require an external force. For example, an active flow of the fluid streaming with an exceptional force. In some cases, water is put away in a store, which is worked at a tallness that is significantly high (many meters) contrasted with where the turbines are provisioned. Nonetheless, development of supplies and aggregating of thousands of gallons of water has become cost restrictive and a tedious movement also. Then again, wind might be utilized as a means to cause pivot of a turning gadget. In addition, windmills are cost restrictive and the measure of wind needed to turn wind turbines might be enormous too.

Therefore, it’s not always continent depend on a water source that possess higher kinetic energy due to potential energy generated by virtue of storage at a great height. Also, creation of dams to turn turbines or depending on falls to turn turbines to generate power may not be feasible to cater increasing needs of power requirement.

[0039] Processors suitable for the execution of a computer program include, by way of example, both general and special purpose microprocessors, and anyone or more processors of any kind of digital computer. Generally, a processor receives instructions and data from a read only memory or a random-access memory or both.

Construction and working of the torque generation apparatus (207) to generate power may be explained in the FIG. 3

[0046] FIG. 3A illustrates an example scenario, for generating power using multiple channels based torque generation apparatus (207) with a protective covering. The multiple channels based torque generation apparatus (207) shown in FIG. 2, comprises a plurality of channels that are wounded along entire periphery of a torque generation apparatus(207), inside the protective covering. The protective covering may comprise external supporting elements (i.e. stands) placed on first side and the second side of the torque generation apparatus 301, as shown in the FIG. 3A. Protective covering may be explained in detail in later part of the disclosure.

[0047] Further, controlled rotation of the torque generation apparatus (207) by passing water through the plurality of channels, rotates a dynamo (208B) using a coupling mechanism (208A). The coupling mechanism may comprise a rod that is rotated based on rotation of the torque generation apparatus (207), a chain bracket, and a gear mechanism. In one embodiments, the coupling mechanism (208A) may also couple the torque generation apparatus (207) to the dynamo (208B) and may also increase the speed of rotation (rotation per minute, RPM) of the dynamo (208B) based on micro adjustments to the . chain bracket, and the gear mechanism. The power thus generated is provided to the power distribution unit (209). The power distribution unit (209) distributes power to various substations through a step up transformer action. Further, construction and working of the multiple channels based torque generation apparatus (207) is explained in the FIG. 3B.

[0048] . FIG. 3B explains construction and working for the multiple channels based torque generation apparatus (207), in accordance with a cross section of the multiple channel based torque generation apparatus (207) and an exemplary scenario referred in the FIG. 3A. The torque generation apparatus 301 ) may be a frustum of a cone or a cylinder that comprises a first side (307) and a second side (309). In some example embodiments, the torque generation apparatus (301) may be a frustum of a cone with a first side (307) having a diameter half of the diameter of the second side (309). The frustum of the torque generation apparatus (301) have internal supporting elements (303) at certain distance distributed across length and housed inside- a protective covering 304) of the torque generation apparatus (301) to prevent deformation and provide support torque generation apparatus (301) as shown in the FIG. 3B. In some example embodiments, the protective covering (304) may extend for the entire length of the torque generation apparatus (301). Further, the torque generation apparatus (301 ) may rotate about a horizontal axis (302), The horizontal axis (302) may comprise a rod that rotates based on the rotation of the torque generation apparatus (301 ) and through the coupling mechanism (208A) discussed in the FIG. 3 A to generate power.

[0049] In some example embodiments, the torque generation apparatus (301 ) may be subjected for rotation about the horizontal axis (302) by passing water through the plurality of channels (305) that is wound on the entire periphery of the torque generation apparatus (301 ). In some example embodiments, the plurali ty of channels (305) are sandwiched between torque generation apparatus (305) and the protective covering (304). As shown in FIG. 3B each of the plurality of channels are formed by winding flexible pipe. For example consider a first channel (3O5A), a second channel (305B) and a third channel (305C) of the plurality of channels (305). Each of the first channel (305A), the second channel (305B) and the third channel (305C) comprise a side and a second side. Also each of the first channel (305A), the second channel (305B) and the third channel (305C) are wound on periphery of torque generation apparatus (301) such that the first side of each of the channels are near the first side (307) of the torque generation apparatus (301). Further, the second sides of each of the channels are near the second side (309) of the torque generation apparatus (301).

[0050] In some example embodiment, the first channel (305 A) may be wounded on the periphery of the torque generation apparatus (301) such that angle between the first side of the first channel (305A) and the horizontal axis (302) may be around positive or negative 15 degrees. The second channel (305B) may be wounded on the periphery of the torque generation apparatus (301) such that angle between the first side of the second channel (305B) and the horizontal axis (302) may be around positive or negative 20 degrees. Similarly, the angle between the first side of the third channel (305B) and the horizontal axis (302) may be around positive or negative 25 degrees. Further, the angle between the horizontal axis (302) and the second side of each of the first channel (305A), the second channel (305B), third channel (3O5B) may be around positive or negative 70 degrees, positive or negative 75 degrees, positive or negative 75 degrees respectively.

[0051] In above mentioned cases, the respective channels represent flexible pipes, angle between the first side of the respective channels and the horizontal axis (302) represents angle of input to stream lined water flow and angle between the second side of the respective channels and the horizontal axis (302) represents angle of output to stream lined waler flow. Increase in angle of input and output with each wound is called as angular gradient. [0052] In some example embodiments, consider that the stream lined water is fetched by each of the plurality of channels (305) that are distributed as per the angular gradient and wounded on the periphery of the torque generation apparatus (30.1 ), In some example embodiments, the streamlined water refers to flow of water that is continuous and steady in nature. In addition flows at a specific velocity.

[0053] For example, consider the first channel (3O5A) fetches a specific quality of water at angle 15 degrees. Similarly, the second channel (305B) and the third channel (305C) fetches the same quality of water as that of the first channel (305A) at an angle of 20 degrees and 25 degrees respectively. The streamlined water at the first side of the first channel (305A) traverses length of the first channel (305) and comes out from the second side of the first channel in‘t’ seconds. Increased angle of input obstructs flow of water through the channel. Therefore the streamlined water at the first side of the second channel (305B) and first side of the third channel (3O5C) traverses length of the second channel 305B) and the third channel (3O5C) later comes out from the second side of the second channel (305B) and the third channel (305C) in ‘t+a’ seconds and ‘t+b’ seconds. Wherein, ‘t’ is duration for which the streamlined water stayed in respective channels (in seconds), ‘a’ and ‘b’ are positive rational numbers or integers. Since, the streamlined water stays in the second channel (305B) for duration longer than that of the first channel (3O5A). Similarly, the streamlined water stays in the third channel (3O5C) for duration longer than that of the second channel (305B). Increased duration indicates increased weight at each of the channels, which results in application of force tangentially to generate torque. In some example embodiments, total force exerted along the tangent in clockwise direction increases above inertia, the torque generation apparatus (301) may rotate in clockwise direction. Based on above discussed subject matter the torque generation apparatus (301) may be rotated about the axis (302) to generate power.

10054] In some example embodiments, the entire length of the torque generation apparatus may be divided into multiple parts, for example (3 1 1 A) and (31 IB). Each of the multiple parts (31 1A) and (31 IB) may comprise the same number of channels. In some example embodiments, length of the torque generation apparatus (301) and number of pipes wounded on the periphery of the torque generation apparatus (301) on each of the multiple sides may vary depending of amount of power to be generated. In some example embodiments, the angular gradient may vary based on the number of pipes wounded on the periphery of the torque generation apparatus (301). In one embodiment, to generate electricity of 30K.VA water may be streamlined into the plurality of channels (305) from multiple sources such as rivers, canals, sewage drains, and such other places that may provide slow-flowing water to generate more than 30K.VA power. In one embodiment, the arrangement (300) may cost a small fraction of the amount required to set-up a wind-mills to generate the same amount of power. Also, there may not be a need to construct reservoirs at huge cost and alongside causing inconvenience to the eco-system. Also, such an arrangement is eco-friendly.

[0055] In some example embodiments, process of power generation starts with fetching of a specific quality of water at a specific velocity into the plurality of channels (305). Fetching of water may be controlled by a circuitry (200). In some example embodiments, the plurality of channels (305) may comprise lids to allow entry of water, opening and closing operations of the lids may be controlled by the circuitry (200). In some other example embodiments, rotation per minute of the torque generation apparatus (301) may be greater or lower than a threshold. In such cases rotation of the torque generation apparatus (301) may be controlled using a circuitry (200), by triggering exertion of an external force to decrease or increase the rotation speed (i.e. rotation per minute) of the torque generation apparatus 301. In some example embodiments, rotation per minute of the torque generation apparatus 301 may be controlled by the circuitry (200) by controlling the inlet of water through the plurality of channels (305) (i.e. flexible pipes wound on entire periphery of the torque generation apparatus 301). Therefore automation enabled by the circuitry (200) increases efficiency of the power generation process by eliminating manual interactions on controlling fetching of water and reducing effort required in maintenance. In some example embodiments, the lids may be auto-configured using the circuitry (200) to control feting of the water thereby saving operation time and operation cost.

Further, in an exemplary, non-limited embodiment, implementations can include distributed processing, component/object distributed processing, and parallel processing.
