The present invention relates to an electricity generation unit that generates electricity so as to meet the electricity need in every field where electricity is used.

State of the Art:

Today, electricity is generated by thermal power plants, hydroelectric power plants, renewable energy equipment and the like. Every field in need of electricity purchases the electricity it uses from electricity generation companies for a fee. This usage fee is an expense in the budget of individuals or companies. Individuals or companies that want to eliminate this expense from their budget focus on renewable energy sources, but their initial investment costs are high. Subsequently, these renewable energy sources, which have a certain economic life and only maintenance cost, cannot be established by many people or companies due to the high investment cost.

The need for alternative methods increases gradually due to the fact that they cannot be established due to the high cost of electricity generation facilities in the state of the art, even if they are installed, this leads to high cost to the consumer.

In state of the art, the type of electricity generation method that does not harm the environment is quite low. There is an increasing demand for electricity generation methods that do not harm the environment, are easy to install, and do not occupy much space. Consequently, an electricity generation unit is required in which the state of the art is exceeded, the disadvantages are eliminated.

Description of the Invention: In this detailed description, the inventive electricity generation unit is described by means of examples only for clarifying the subject matter such that no limiting effect is created. In the description an electricity generation unit that generates electricity so as to meet the electricity need in every field where electricity is used, is disclosed.

In Figure 1 , the schematic view of the inventive electricity generation unit is given. Accordingly, the electricity generation unit includes a hydraulic power unit (1) that provides the hydraulic energy required by the system. The hydraulic power unit (1) operates with an electric motor. It is a whole consisting of tank, pump, motor, filter, safety valves, heater and coolers, gauges and valve blocks. A hydraulic power unit (1) that can operate a piston (2) with a power of 0.37 kW and a maximum lifting force of 100 tons, commercially available is used so as to show numerically in calculations for the amount of electricity generated. In the invention, the hydraulic piston (2) is connected to the hydraulic power unit (1) and works automatically. A piston (2) with a lifting force of 100 tons is used in the calculations. The tensioning apparatus (3) operates like a lever and provides motion transmission between the hydraulic piston (2) and the threaded rod (5). When a force is applied to one end of the tensioning apparatus (3) by the hydraulic piston (2), the other end of the tensioning apparatus (3) rises in the direction of the arrow. In this case, the tensioning apparatus (3) pulls the threaded rod (5) downwards and the flexible element (4) to which the threaded rod (5) is connected is stretched. The end of the tensioning apparatus (3) on the side of the hydraulic piston (2) is a trigger end (3.1) that operates with the logic of the trigger mechanism, the trigger end (3.1) falls down while the hydraulic piston (2) applies the pushing force to this end and the flexible element (4), which is stretched by getting rid of the pressure of the hydraulic piston (2), is released. The flexible element (4) used in the invention is a machine element that stores energy when stretched and freely rotates this stored energy by the same amount. The flexible element (4) may preferably be a spring. Force must be applied so as to modify the form of the flexible elements (4), that is, to stretch or compress them. The forces applied to modify the form of the flexible elements (4) are tension and compression forces. When the forces applied to the flexible elements (4) are eliminated, they return to their original state, that is, to the state of balance The threaded rod (5) used in the invention whose one end is connected to the flexible element (4) and the other end is connected to the tensioning apparatus (3) fulfills its duty in the electricity generation unit. When the stretched flexible element (4) is released, the threaded rod (5) moves and transfers this movement to the gear flywheel (6) with its threaded structure. Here the threaded rod (5) can be a rack or a timing belt. The gear flywheel (6) can be a threaded rubber having a circular form or any apparatus in the form of a circular and threaded outer wall. The gear flywheel (6) used in the invention is a rotating machine element. The flywheel can be any rotating machine element such as pulley, gear flywheel and the like. The power obtained in consideration of the force applied by the hydraulic piston (2) to the tensioning apparatus (3) so as to stretch the flexible element (4) is transferred to this gear flywheel (6) connected on the line in the electricity generation unit by means of the threaded rod (5) and the gear flywheel (6) is ensured to rotate. The alternator (7) used in the invention is a machine that transforms mechanical energy, that is, motion energy, into alternating current electrical energy. Alternators (7) are alternative current generators. They are generally used in fields where electrical energy cannot be supplied from the grid. The alternator (7) can be used with various transformers such as water turbines, wind, diesel engines. The mechanical energy generated by the rotation of the gear flywheel (6) is transformed into electrical energy by means of an alternator (7) connected on the line, and thus electricity is generated. The battery (8) used in the invention is used to store the electricity generated by the electricity generation unit for immediate or later use.

The hydraulic power unit (1) which first operates with an electric motor in the electricity generation unit, moves the hydraulic piston (2) to which it is connected. The hydraulic piston (2) applies a downward thrust to the trigger end (3.1) of the tensioning apparatus (3) by moving downwards. The trigger end (3.1) of the tensioning apparatus (3) tilts downwards with the applied force, while the other end rises upwards. While the end of the tensioning apparatus (3) on the side of the flexible element (4) rises, it forces the threaded rod (5) downward. In this case, the flexible element (4) to which the threaded rod (5) is connected is stretched. The threaded rod (5) also stretches the gear flywheel (6) with which it contacts thread to thread by pressing the same. The trigger end (3.1) is released from the hydraulic piston (2) with the same trigger mechanism logic when the hydraulic piston (2) reaches the end of its stroke length while applying the pushing force to the trigger end (3.1) of the tensioning apparatus (3). The stretched flexible element (4) is released when the tensioning apparatus (3) is released from the hydraulic piston (2). While the flexible element (4) moves the threaded rod (5) upwards by returning to its center position, the threaded rod (5) rapidly rotates the gear flywheel (6) to which it is connected. The rotational movement of the gear flywheel (6) is transferred to the alternator (7) by means of a shaft, the mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy and transferred to the battery (8) for storage or use in the alternator (7).

There are calculations for the energy and electricity generation amounts generated by the electricity generation unit here in the following: In the calculations, a hydraulic power unit (1 ), which can automatically operate a hydraulic piston (2) with a lifting force of 100 tons and operates with an electric motor with a power consumption of 0.37 kW, is selected. The stroke length of the hydraulic piston (2) is determined as 10 cm.

The hydraulic piston (2) stretches the flexible element (4) by 10 cm by applying a pushing force of 100 tons. The energy to be obtained in the flexible element (4), which we will stretch 10 cm with a pushing force of 100 tons

During these studies;

If it is considered that there will be 10% losses due to friction, heating etc.

E ≡ 44 kW It is seen that there is an energy gain.

A gear flywheel (6) is rotated with the energy we gain. While this gear flywheel (6) is selected, it should be considered that it is not too heavy and has a very large diameter so as not to occupy extra space. Flywheel calculation;

T: Torque (N-m)

M: Mass of the rotating object (Kg)

JM: Rotational inertia force (Kg-m2) a: The angular acceleration of the rotating body (rad/s2) R: Radius of the rotating object (m)

If we accept the pulley dimensions we used in the trial study;

Mass of flywheel M = 45 kg

Radius of flywheel R = 0.20 m

T = Jm * a

Jm = (M/2)R2 Jm = 0.90 ka-m2

P (kW) = {T (N-m) * N (rpm) } / (9549,296) The rotational speed of the flywheel is calculated as N = 2112 rom.

The rotation angle of the flywheel will be a = 221.056 rad/s2.

In other words, the flywheel will make 35 revolutions in 1 second.

In this case, the torque force is T = 198,95 kg-m2/sn2 (N-m) Calculated as T = 20.292 ka force

As a result;

The hydraulic power unit (1), loads a flexible element (4) an energy of 44 kW onto the flexible element (4) after 10 cm stretching by consuming 0.37 kW of power with a force of 100 tons.

The flexible element (4) transfers this energy to the flywheel (6) with the tensioning apparatus (3) and this flywheel (6), with a weight of 45 kg and a diameter of 0.20 m, rotates with a torque of approximately 20 kg and at 2112 rpm, providing a mechanical energy of 44 kW to the alternator.

If it is considered that there will be 10% losses due to friction, heating etc. A hydraulic power unit (1) that consumes 0.37 kW of energy transforms into an energy power of approximately 35-40 kW by means of the electricity generation unit (Figure 1) with a lifting force of 100 tons.
