Abstract

In an energy generation process, water is electrolyzed to form hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen and oxygen are released to separate pipes and, being lighter than air, rise 150 m or more where they drive a fuel cell generator. The resulting water is released to a hydro-electric generator and then returned to the electrolysis tank. At the top of the installation, the gas is either chilled and/or compressed.

Description

Diese Flüssigkeit würde auf dem Weg zurück zum Ausgangspunkt (niedrigere Höhe) ebenfalls für einen durch Turbinen erzeugten Energiegewinn sorgen. Eine bereits genannte Anforderung an diesen Stoff ist, dass er im gasförmigen Zustand in der Röhre nach oben steigt.This liquid would go back to the Starting point (lower altitude) also for an energy gain generated by turbines to care. A requirement already mentioned this substance is that it is in the gaseous state rising in the tube.

Beschreibung des Standes der TechnikDescription of the prior art

Ein vergleichbares Gerät, das Energie nur aufgrund von Schwerkraft nutzbar macht, existiert bisher nicht.A comparable device that only uses energy harnessed by gravity has so far existed Not.

Die Wirkung der Schwerkraft wird allerdings bereits in Fallrohren genutzt, um in Zeiten grosser Elektrizitätsnachfrage genügend Energie zur Verfügung zu haben, das dafür nötige Wasser wird jedoch in Zeiten geringer Elektrizitätsnachfrage wieder zurückbefördert auf den Status der höheren Lageenergie(es wird z. B. in einen auf einem Berg sich befindlichen See gepumpt).The effect of gravity is however already used in downpipes to at times large electricity demand enough energy to have the necessary water however, will decrease in times Electricity demand back on the status of the higher positional energy (e.g. in a lake on a mountain pumped).

Nachteile des Standes der TechnikDisadvantages of the prior art

Das hochpumpen des Wassers benötigt mehr Energie als durch die Turbinen im Fallrohr wieder zurückgewonnen werden kann (Energieverlust).Pumping up the water requires more energy than through the turbines in the downpipe again can be recovered (loss of energy).

Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, die Schwerkraft in nutzbare Energie (z. B. Wärme, Elektrizität) umzuwandeln.The object of the invention is that Gravity into usable energy (e.g. Heat, electricity).

Lösung der Aufgabe Teil 1Problem Part 1

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass ein flüssiger Stoff (hier Wasser) gasförmig gemacht wird (hier durch elektrolytische Spaltung). Der Wasserstoff und der Sauerstoff steigen in getrennten Rohren in grössere Höhe auf (mind. 150 Meter Höhenunterschied). Dort wird das Gas in einem Wasserstoffmotor zusammengeführt und das entstehende Wasser erzeugt beim Fallen im Fallrohr Energie, die durch Turbinen genutzt wird. This task is solved in that a liquid substance (here water) made gaseous is (here by electrolytic fission). The hydrogen and oxygen rise separate pipes at a greater height (min. 150 meters difference in altitude). There is the gas merged in a hydrogen engine and that water created when falling in Downpipe energy used by turbines becomes.  

Lösung der Aufgabe Teil 2Solving the task part 2

Es ist ebenso möglich, den Stoff mit Hilfe von Wärmezufuhr bzw. mit niedrigerem Druck in die gasförmige Phase zu überführen. Nach dem Aufsteigevorgang des Gases im Rohr wird in grösserer Höhe wieder die Wärme abgezogen bzw. das Gas komprimiert. Nun kann die Fallenergie der entstandenen Flüssigkeit von einer Turbine zur Energieerzeugung genutzt werden. Es ist allerdings hierbei darauf zu achten, dass der Siedepunkt des Stoffes möglichst nahe an der Umgebungstemperatur liegt. Bei einer geeigneten Chemikalie ist so der technisch bedingte Mindesthöhenunterschied gering.It is also possible to use the fabric Heat input or with lower pressure in the to convert gaseous phase. After this Rise process of the gas in the pipe is in removed the heat again or the gas compresses. Now the fall energy of the generated fluid from a turbine to Power generation can be used. It is however, make sure that the Boiling point of the substance as close as possible to the Ambient temperature. With a suitable one Chemical is so the technical one Minimum height difference small.

Bei Lösung der Aufgabe Teil 1 sind Ausgangspunkt X1 und Zielpunkt X1 zuzüglich ca. 150 Meter nötig, um den technisch bedingten Energieverlust auszugleichen. Mit einer geeigneten Chemikalie sind weniger zuzügliche Meter nötig, um den Energieverlust auszugleichen.When solving the task part 1 are the starting point X1 and target point X1 plus approx. 150 meters necessary to avoid the technical loss of energy balance. With a suitable chemical less meters are needed to get the Compensate for energy loss.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, Energie nur aufgrund von Schwerkraft zu erzeugen. Sie kann z. B. tief in der Erde, als hoch aufragender Turm oder auch an einem Berg angeschmiegt (siehe Skizzen) funktionieren.The invention has the advantage of energy only to generate due to gravity. she can e.g. B. deep in the earth, as a towering tower or nestled on a mountain (see Sketches) work.

Sie ist somit unabhängig von Wind- und Wasserbewegungen, Sonnenenergie und Antriebsstoffen wie z. B. Uran, fossile Brennstoffe, Biomasse. It is therefore independent of wind and Water movements, solar energy and Fuels such as B. uranium, fossil fuels, biomass.  

Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen der ErfindungDescription of exemplary embodiments of the invention

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von Zeichnungen beschrieben.The invention is described below with reference to Described drawings.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Funktionsskizze mit Erläuterungen zum Schwerkraftnutzer, wobei die Turbine als Wasserrad dargestellt ist und auch der Wasserstoffmotor nicht detailgetreu zu erkennen ist. Fig. 1 shows a functional diagram with explanation to gravity user, the turbine is shown as a water wheel and also the hydrogen engine is not faithfully recognized.

Fig. 2 stellt den Schwerkraftnutzer an einem Berg angeschmiegt dar, es werden auch die chemischen Abläufe deutlich. Bei Position 1 wird Energie zugeführt (delta H ist kleiner 0), bei Position 2 und 3 wird hingegen Energie frei. Fig. 2 shows the gravity user nestled on a mountain, the chemical processes are also clear. Energy is supplied at position 1 (delta H is less than 0), while energy is released at positions 2 and 3.

Fig. 3 verdeutlicht die Funktion des alternativen Schwerkraftnutzers auf Basis eines Verdampfungsvorgangs, bei dem die Änderung der Phase des Stoffes von flüssig über gasförmig wieder hin zu flüssig mit Hilfe von Druck- bzw. Temperaturänderungen vorgenommen wird. Fig. 3 illustrates the function of the alternative gravity user on the basis of an evaporation process in which the change in the phase of the substance from liquid to gaseous again to liquid is carried out with the help of pressure or temperature changes.

1. Bei dem Schwerkraftnutzer handelt es sich um eine Vorrichtung zur Energiegewinnung, bei der mit Hilfe eines Elektrolyse-Gerätes (2 H2O wird zu 2 H2 und O2), drei Rohren zum Transport von Wasserstoff, Sauerstoff und Wasser, einem Wasserstoffmotor und einer Turbine zur Ausnutzung der Fallenergie des Wassers die Schwerkraft in nutzbare Energie (z. B. Wärmeenergie, elektrische Energie) umgewandelt werden kann.
Das entscheidend neue Merkmal meiner Erfindung ist die besondere Anordnung der einzelnen Funktionskomponenten, mit deren Hilfe ein Stoff vom flüssigen in den gasförmigen Aggregatzustand überführt wird, dann dieses Gas in grösserer Höhe (grösserer Abstand vom Erdmittelpunkt) verflüssigt wird und in einem Fallrohr unter Energiegewinnung wieder zum Ausgangspunkt befördert wird.
Bekannt ist, dass beim Übergang eines Stoffes (z. B. H2O) von einem Aggregatzustand (z. B. flüssig) in einen anderen Aggregatzustand (z. B. gasförmig) Energie aufgewendet wird, die bei der Rückreaktion (gasförmig wird zu flüssig) allerdings wieder frei wird.
Der technisch bedingte Energieverlust wird ab ca. 150 Meter Höhenunterschied durch die entstehende Fallenergie wieder ausgeglichen.1.
