DE102012001145A1 - Method for utilizing energy of gravitational force by rotation of hollow body over rollers by chain for generating power in power plant, involves locating liquid and weights in rotation of hollow body around one hundred eighty degree - Google Patents

Abstract

The method involves locating the liquid and weights in the rotation of a hollow body around 180 degree, where the exchange of liquid from bottom to top or side to side takes place over hoses or bonding lines. The rotation of water wheel is pulled downward to the side weighted with liquid, while the side ascends without water. Two rotating wheels are arranged one above the other and are connected with each other with a chain or belt (7). Two elements (1) are fixed at the chain or belt.

Description

The letters EdE stand for energy production through gravitational attraction. It must be explicitly stated that this is not a perpetuum mobile. Here an existing source of energy is harnessed. No one would think of calling the use of natural energy sources such as wind, hydropower and the like perpetual motion machines because they are just converted solar energy. Tidal power plants z. B. take their energy from the attraction of the moon. Further examples could be added here.

In the EdE project, the earth's gravitational force is to be converted into usable energy. Here, the gravitational pull is exploited in two ways:
Similar to the rotation of a waterwheel, the side weighted with liquid (water) is pulled down while the side rises without water. (see sketch 1) Gravity keeps the system in motion. With a waterwheel always new water is necessary to keep the wheel moving continuously, eg. B. by a passing stream, which always provides the necessary water supply.

In the EdE project, the available water is used again and again. The earth's gravity is used a second time to bring the water back up. This will be described later.

The EdE project for the generation or utilization of usable energy offers advantages over other forms of energy generation over competitive advantages:

• 1. The project can be used anywhere in the world, regardless of the climate and time of day.
• 2. It works absolutely environmentally neutral, produces neither exhaust gases, harmful radiation, noise nor other negative environmental influences.
• 3. The project can always be built or used where needed. It can be built in any size and dimension. Long, expensive and environmentally harmful power lines can be kept to a minimum.
• 4. Polluting oil consumption could be severely curtailed, as electricity from the EdE project can generally be used instead of oil. (Households)
• 5. It can be used in remote areas such. As in deserts as energy for water pumping, in polar areas as a generator, on islands, in the mountains, in the garden shed. Larger facilities on the outskirts for a whole communities, in the garden for a detached house, etc. etc. The applications are unlimited in all sizes!

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

The way the EdE project works is very simple.

It must be pointed out that here the principle of the energy production at an aggregate is explained. In practice, several such aggregates are necessary side by side to actually ensure continuous operation, the number being theoretically unlimited upwards.

Two rotating wheels arranged one above the other are connected to each other with a belt or chain. There are two elements attached to this belt / chain, one on the ascending side and the other on the descending side. (see sketch 1)

Description of the Elements (Sketch 3)

The elements consist of a round hollow cylinder. (Theoretically, other forms are possible.) In the hollow cylinder is a massive, freely movable piston. This piston separates an air phase on one side and a liquid phase (water) on the other side. The piston must be free to move, but must safely separate the air phase from the liquid phase. Therefore, it is equipped with 2 sealing rings (possibly silicon rings). The air phase and the water phase are connected to each other by a respective equalization line / hose. Everything is in closed systems.

In both elements, the weight is at the bottom of the cylinder. The cavity in the right cylinder is filled with water, while the left cylinder is full of air. Earth's gravity, similar to a waterwheel, causes the right side to be pulled down, corresponding to the higher weight.

Sketch 1

At top and bottom dead center, both elements are simultaneously (important!) Turned 180 degrees. This twist is one of the critical points in the system. Therefore, more and more units are necessary side by side, for larger systems also helps the inertia of the mass. (In Sketch 1, 4 elements are shown in corresponding positions for clarity.)

After rotation of the element through 180 degrees both weights are in the cylinders above. The lower left weight now exerts pressure on the fluid, causing it to overflow Equalizing line is pushed up. On the right side, the weight also falls downwards due to its own gravity, freeing up the space for the fluid flowing in from the other side. The air can balance itself over its own line. The right side is thus again the heavier side and can again work.

PARTICULARITIES

Theoretically, it is also conceivable to attach several elements according to the same principle on a revolving belt / chain and to connect them together as described above. However, it would also be decisive here for the elements to always be turned in pairs at the dead center. For static reasons, I think this variant but rather unfavorable.

The released power is, as with the water wheel, (only with much better efficiency) dependent on the weight difference of the ascending and descending side. The force of gravity is of course dependent on the amount of water in the descending element. The larger the amount of water in the element, the stronger the element pulls downwards. In other words, the greater the weight difference between left and right, the more power EdE brings.

Prerequisite for operation is the piston with its weight in the element. It ensures that the water is pushed by an element with the weight of gravity over the existing connection in the released space of the upper element.

The greater the weight, the faster the rearrangement occurs. If the rearrangement takes too long, EdE can only perform inadequately. This includes the compensation cables. They must not be a bottleneck in terms of their volume or cross section.

Example of a small plant:

With a weight of 10 kg and a cross section of the compensating pipe of 1 cm, the height of the system can not exceed 12.7 m. At lower altitudes, the line can become thicker fluid exchange can then take place faster, but the working height decreases.

The sealing of the pistons has already been mentioned and is an important aspect, so that no water gets into the air system. The piston must not get stuck because of too much resistance. Here could possibly be useful 2 narrow silicone sealing rings. It may also be attempted to reduce the friction as liquid to use an oil / water emulsion, soapy water or the like, which lubricates the piston.

The total friction must not be greater than the energy generated, otherwise the system will not run naturally. In large systems, however, friction plays a minor role.

ALTERNATE VERSIONS OF THE SYSTEM

The EdE project is also conceivable in alternative variants, but which function on the same principle:

Variant 1: The Bellows System (Sketch 5)

Here, the air and water side are separated by a variable volume cavity (Zieharmonikasystem). The existing weight squeezes the bellows more or less together. The water can be here both in the bellows with variable weight and in the hollow body of the element (then the air is in the bellows). The decisive factor is the change in volume due to the weights generated by gravitational attraction. The biggest advantage here would be that the friction of the piston would fall away. Liquid and air are spatially separated. For the bellows, only the right material has to be found.

Variant 2: The compression system

In this variant of the EdE system, a good separation between air and water, so good sealing of the piston in the elements, necessary. A balancing line on the air side falls away here. The volume change in the element, and thus the amount of water on one side of the system, is created by the weight on the air cushion.

Example:

At a pressure of one Kg / cm ² (= 1 bar), the volume is halved in the gas cushion, which can then be replaced by water and thus causes the imbalance, as in the EdE system necessary.

This would be particularly interesting for larger plants.

Variant 3: The displacer system (sketch 4)

Here, a displacer of gravity is simply pulled into the element where it displaces the existing liquid (on the other side reversed), creating the weight difference of both sides. Here, a good seal of the movable piston must be ensured to the outside. An air phase is not necessary here.

Variant 4: The wheel

The EdE project on the bike is a theoretical possibility. However, it is unlikely to be significant because of its poor efficiency.

CONSTRUCTION

The production of the EdE project requires a qualified workshop.

• 1. Bei einer Aufhängung der Elemente an Ketten sollten zwei Ketten parallel laufen und miteinander verbunden sein. Auf dieser Verbindung zwischen den Ketten werden dann die Elemente montiert. (siehe Skizze) Die Kette muss zwischen dem oberen und dem unteren Laufrad noch mit ausreichend Zahnrädern stabilisiert werden. Diese können an einem Gerüst befestigt werden, das zur Stützung dient.
• 2. Bei Aufhängung der Elemente auf Riemen kämen evtl. 2 parallel laufende Zahnriemen in Betracht. Flache Riemen sollten wie ein Laufband durch Rollen gestützt werden. In solchem Falle wäre es günstig, wenn zur Stabilität das untere Laufrad etwas größer ist als das obere. Siehe hierzu Skizze 1.

But some things are considered necessary by me:

• 1. When suspending the elements on chains, two chains should be parallel and connected together. The elements are then mounted on this connection between the chains. (see sketch) The chain must still be stabilized between the upper and lower wheels with sufficient gears. These can be attached to a scaffold that serves as support.
• 2. When suspending the elements on belts, possibly 2 parallel running toothed belts could be considered. Flat belts should be supported by rollers like a treadmill. In such a case, it would be beneficial if, for stability, the lower impeller is slightly larger than the upper one. See sketch 1.

Claims (1)

The claim includes a method for energy utilization of gravity by rotation of differently filled hollow body with water on two rollers by means of chain / belt or the like and rearrangement of the liquid by displacing from bottom to top by weights. This is achieved by rotating the hollow bodies (elements), in which the liquid and weights are located, by 180 degrees. The fluid exchange from bottom to top or one side to the other via hoses or compensation lines. This principle is based on all variations described below.
