Abstract

The energy of flowing water is utilised by a generator driven by an impeller mounted on the sea or river bed. The impeller has radial blades on which the flowing water acts and causes the impeller to rotate. The impeller is mounted in a cylindrical housing and drives an electric generator. The housing can swivel about a vertical axis and stabilising fins align the housing so that the impeller axis is in line with the direction of flow of the water. The device can be used to utilise the energy in ocean currents. USE - Utilisation of energy of flowing water.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Strömungswasserstromgenerator nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Bekannt sind Fallwasser­ generatoren. Nachteile hierbei sind Eingriffe in die Landschaft (z. B. bei Stauseen, Fallröhren, Gebäuden), Veränderung von Fauna und Flora (z. B. Vernichtung ortsständiger Arten), Ab­ hängigkeit von Höhendifferenzen.The invention relates to a flow water flow generator According to the preamble of claim 1. Fall water is known generators. Disadvantages here are interventions in the landscape (e.g. in reservoirs, downpipes, buildings), change from Fauna and flora (e.g. destruction of local species), Ab dependence on height differences.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde:The invention is based on the object:

  • 1. Den Ausstieg der Energiewirtschaft aus der Kernenergie zu ermöglichen.1. The exit of the energy industry from nuclear energy too enable.
  • 2. Die Energieversorgung langfristig zu sichern und neue Ent­ lagerungsprobleme für strahlenden Abfall zu verhindern.2. To secure the energy supply in the long term and new ent to prevent storage problems for radiant waste.
  • 3. Die Stickoxidbelastung der Luft zu mindern.3. To reduce the nitrogen oxide pollution in the air.
  • 4. Fossile Energieträger zu schonen.4. To conserve fossil fuels.
  • 5. Eingriffe in die Landschaft zu verhindern und ggf. vorhan­ dene zu beseitigen.5. Prevent interventions in the landscape and possibly exist to eliminate them.
  • 6. Veränderungen von Fauna und Flora zu verhindern und ggf. vorhandene zu beseitigen.6. To prevent changes in fauna and flora and, if necessary, eliminate existing ones.

Dies gelingt, weil die Energie von strömendem Wasser in Form der Meeresströme wie z. B. dem Golfstrom in zeitlich und grö­ ßenmäßig nahezu ungegrenzter Menge vorhanden ist. Zwar werden Strömungswasserstromgeneratoren-Schaufelräder von einigen zig Metern Durchmesser benötigt, um z. B. die ca. 40% Atomstroman­ teile am bundesdeutschen Stromaufkommen zu ersetzen, so sind wir es doch uns, unseren Kindern und den Menschen Zigtausender nachfolgender Jahre schuldig, ein Konzept für die Energie­ gewinnung zu haben, das uns mit Gewißheit den Vorwurf erspart, das denkbar größte Verbrechen der Menschheit, die totale atomare Verseuchung der Erde, begangen zu haben. Der Bau von Strömungs­ wasserstromgeneratoren zur Deckung unseres Energiebedarfes stellt zwar eine gigantische, vielleicht sogar die größte tech­ nische Herausforderung dar, die es je gab, so beinhaltet er je­ doch gleichzeitig die Chance, die Energieversorgung längstfri­ stig bei gleichzeitig umweltschonendster und wirtschaftlichster Betriebsart zu sichern. Die Meeresströmungen sind Millionen Jahre alt und können ebensolange bestehen. This works because the energy of flowing water is in shape of ocean currents such as B. the Gulf Stream in time and size there is almost unlimited quantity available. To be sure Flow water flow generator paddle wheels of several tens Meters in diameter required for. B. the approximately 40% nuclear power to replace parts of the German electricity supply, so it is us, our children and the people of tens of thousands guilty of subsequent years, a concept for energy to gain, which will certainly save us the reproach the greatest possible crime of humanity, the total atomic Contamination of the earth to have committed. The construction of flow water current generators to cover our energy needs represents a gigantic, maybe even the greatest tech is a challenge that has ever existed, so it always includes but at the same time the chance to supply energy long ago stig with the most environmentally friendly and economical To save the operating mode. The ocean currents are millions of years old and can last as long.  

Die Strömungswasserstromgeneratoren emittieren weder radioakti­ ves Material wie Kernkraftwerke noch Stickoxide wie Kraftwerke fossiler Energieträger. Die geringe Verringerung der Strömungs­ geschwindigkeit der Meeresströme dürfte keine große Belastung für die Umwelt sein. Strömungswasserstromgeneratoren sind die denk­ bar saubersten Stromenergiequellen. Sie verschandeln auch nicht die Landschaft. Ein Schaufelrad von vielleicht 100 m Durchmesser mag zwar eine Herausforderung für die Unterwassertechnologie sein, eine Verschandelung der Landschaft ist es in 200-300 m Tiefe am Meeresboden jedoch nicht. Auch die Tier- und Pflanzen­ welt der Meere dürfte kaum beeinträchtigt werden. Darüber hinaus bedeutet die Annahme dieser Herausforderung sichere Arbeits­ plätze der beteiligten Firmen über Jahre hinaus.The flow water flow generators neither emit radioactive ves material like nuclear power plants nor nitrogen oxides like power plants fossil fuels. The slight reduction in flow speed of the ocean currents should not be a major burden for the environment. Flow water flow generators are the think bar cleanest power sources. They don't mess too the landscape. A paddle wheel maybe 100 m in diameter may like a challenge for underwater technology be a blight of the landscape it is in 200-300 m However, depth on the sea floor is not. The animals and plants too world of the seas is unlikely to be affected. Furthermore means accepting this challenge of safe work places of the participating companies for years.

Das Schaufelrad 1 dreht sich in einem Ring 2, der die Durch­ trittgeschwindigkeit des Wassers erhöht. In der Getriebezelle 11 wird die Drehbewegung durch mehrfache Übersetzung erhöht und durch eine Hohlwelle in die Generatorzelle 12 geleitet. 4 Streben 3a-d zwischen Ring 2 und Generatorzelle 12 sichern die Position des Schaufelrades 1 mit Getriebe- und Generator­ zelle 11 und 12 im Ring 2. Sie verhindern auch den Kontakt zwischen Schaufelrad 1 und Ring 2. Ferner führen sie Strom­ leitungen 15 zum Ring 2. Hier passieren dieselben Stromleitun­ gen 15 die Querachslager 5a und b. Hier werden sie von einem halbkreisförmigen Halter 4 aufgenommen und zum Standrohr 7 mit Hochachsdrehlager 13 geführt. Hier treten die Stromleitungen 15 aus dem Strömungswasserstromgenerator aus und können über den Meeresboden an Land geführt werden, um ans Netz zu gehen. Bei Richtungsänderungen der Strömung wird der Strömungswasserstrom­ generator durch einen Heckausleger 10 mit Höhen- und Seiten­ stabilisator 9 und 8 optimal in die Anströmrichtung gestellt. Dabei ist es günstig, wenn der Schwerpunkt des Strömungswasser­ stromgenerators in der Mitte der Strecke von Querachslager 5a nach Querachslager 5b liegt. Um dies zu erreichen, kann in die Spitze des Getriebes 11 der erforderliche Ballast aufgenommen werden.The paddle wheel 1 rotates in a ring 2 , which increases the speed of the water. In the transmission cell 11 , the rotary movement is increased by multiple gear ratios and passed through a hollow shaft into the generator cell 12 . 4 struts 3 a-d between ring 2 and generator cell 12 secure the position of the impeller 1 with gear and generator cells 11 and 12 in ring 2 . They also prevent contact between paddle wheel 1 and ring 2 . They also lead power lines 15 to ring 2 . Here pass the same Stromleitun conditions 15, the transverse axle bearings 5 a and b. Here they are received by a semicircular holder 4 and led to the standpipe 7 with a high-axis pivot bearing 13 . Here, the power lines 15 emerge from the flow water flow generator and can be led ashore over the seabed to connect to the grid. When the direction of the flow changes, the flow water flow generator is optimally set in the direction of flow by a tail boom 10 with height and side stabilizers 9 and 8 . It is advantageous if the focus of the flow water current generator is in the middle of the route from transverse axle bearing 5 a to transverse axle bearing 5 b. To achieve this, the required ballast can be added to the tip of the gear 11 .
