Mobile device for generating energy in flowing waters

The innovation relates to a mobile device for generating energy in flowing waters «with an electricity generator and with water wheels.

Energy generators in the broadest sense are all technical arrangements for converting non-electrical energy into electrical power.

Mobile energy generating devices are known, which for example consist of a diesel generator as a power generator and assemble it from a dies e! motor directly coupled to it.

However, because of their compact design, these mobile energy generating devices cannot be used everywhere and certainly not easy to transport in, for example, water-rich areas.

The innovation is based on the task «while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned above, a mobile device for energy · generation using the flow velocity

to be trained in flowing waters with simple means in such a way that without changing or impairing the River courses, the water quality or the existing fish stocks and a safe operation of the Facility is guaranteed.

The object is achieved according to the invention by at least two containers arranged at a corresponding distance from one another and designed as floats a multitude of water wheels attached one behind the other on the top of the container, with waves are rotatably mounted in bearings, by a to accommodate the power generator on the top of the Container transversely arranged carrier and through pulleys running on the shafts, via the belts each connecting the waterwheels and the power generator.

Einö for the operation of the energy generating device secure anchoring when used in flowing water can advantageously be achieved by being removable at the ends of the container facing the bank fortified spacers zuic anchoring the in one flowing water installation «through between the spacers diagonally from an enIe on the other hand, fixed stabilizing ropes «and by safety ropes attached to one end of each container are attached.

There is further support for the anchoring

ground anchors that can be fixed in the ground by the ends of the spacers and the merged safety ropes.

According to a further embodiment of the innovation, the container designed as a float is shown by a cylinder-shaped tubular part which forms the container and is closed at one end, and by a streamlined part attached to the open end of the tube part.

An increase or increase in power generation can be achieved by another parallel to the containers with water wheels and power generator arranged container on which another Number of water wheels is arranged, and the waves of these water wheels with the waves of the other water wheels are coupled together.

The required rigid association of the assembled device can be achieved through spacing struts rigidly connecting the containers to one another.

A further improvement in the flow conditions for your container is achieved by means of deflecting clips arranged on the container.

An embodiment of the innovation is in the character " tion and is described in more detail below. Show it:

1 shows a side view of an energy generating device according to the invention;

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the energy generating device according to Fig. 1, used in a flowing body of water and

3 shows a plan view of a modified embodiment of the energy generating device.

As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the innovation according to the invention continues Device for generating energy in flowing water, essentially consisting of at least two swimmers formed elongated containers 1, which are arranged at a corresponding distance from one another, from in the such resulting intermediate space 2 arranged rotatable water wheels 3, each on the top of the float 1 are firmly jacked up by means of bearings 4, and from a generator 5 serving as a power generator.

The floats and the water wheels 3, which are fixedly mounted between the floats, as well as a generator 5 receiving it In the assembled state, carriers 6 form a rigid structural unit and can thus be easily and safely in flowing waters to generate electricity and propel various Machines such as dynamos, pumps, compressors and the like are used and used.

The water wheels 3 have correspondingly curved blades 3a and are each one below the other and with a dsm generator 5 connected by means of straps 7, the straps over on

Shafts 12 of the water wheels 3 arranged pulleys 13 run so that the immersed in the water flow and by the flow speed of the water driven water wheels 3 their rotary movement via a corresponding translation transferred to the rotor of the generator to generate electricity.

The elongated container 1, which is designed as a float, consists essentially of a cylindrical tubular part 1 a closed at one end and a pipe part 1 that is attached to the other end streamlined part Ib, which has better flow conditions to deliver for the swimmer when the part Ib of the swimmer is used in the opposite direction of the water flow.

In addition, by a special shape of the float or by additional deflection clips mounted on the floats (not shown in the drawing) the flow conditions can be further improved.

The float itself can be made of wood, plastic, ferrous or non-ferrous metal. But it can also be beneficial air-filled containers can be used.

Since it is for the operation of the energy generating device on a extremely secure anchoring of the entire facility when used in flowing waters. This is advantageously done on one Bank side with the help of two spacers 9, each removably attached near the ends of the swimmer facing the bank and are laid out towards the bank, the spacers each being fixed to laid-out spacer ends 8 a by ground anchors 9 will. To further support the anchoring continue to serve between the spacers 8 diagonally from one end to the other fixed stabilization rope 10 and safety ropes 11, each starting from the swimmers from a point, in Are designed in the opposite direction of flow, where they are also secured by a ground anchor 9. When changing the The anchorage and spacers adapt to the water level (e.g. high water).

In this way, the entire facility is on the one hand fixed captive at one point in the flowing water and on the other hand, it can be moved quickly and easily from one location to another.

The device itself can with the innovation according to the structure of all components belonging to the device quickly and be broken down into transportable loads in a short time »so that the use of the energy generating device also can take place in impassable places of flowing water.

In the event that increased power generation is to be provided, one is to drive the generator to a greater extent Force required, which in an advantageous manner by a modified design of the energy generating device can be applied. In this embodiment shown in Fig. 3, a further number of water wheels 1 is closed connected to the existing waterwheels by yet another swimmer 1 with, for example, four water wheels 3 is arranged parallel to the embodiment shown in FIG. The waves 12 of the water wheels 3 are coupled to one another and the water wheels are connected to one another in a driving manner via belts 7.

Since this device is required in the assembled state rigid composite essentially by the water wheels 3 arranged on the floats 1 and by their Shafts 12, it is advantageous for a safe and smooth running of the shafts in the bearings 4 if an Ent ~ Loading of the waves 12 and the water wheels 3 takes place by the swimmers 1 themselves not in the drawing shown spacing struts among each other be rigidly connected.
