Abstract

Le dispositif comprend deux plaques métalliques (1a, 1b) dont le point le plus élevé se trouve à 10 cm au dessus du revêtement (1) de la route et qui sont pressées vers le bas par le passage des véhicules. Une crémaillère (2) pivotée (1d) sur une des plaques et disposée dans un local de machines entraîne en rotation un volant (13) et un générateur (3). Une roue libre (9) fixée aux deux parties rotatives permet d'entraîner le volant (13) toujours dans le même sens. Une bascule (4) munie d'un contre-poids (4a) sert à équilibrer le tout.The device comprises two metal plates (1a, 1b), the highest point of which is 10 cm above the surface (1) of the road and which are pressed down by the passage of vehicles. A rack (2) pivoted (1d) on one of the plates and arranged in a machine room rotates a flywheel (13) and a generator (3). A free wheel (9) fixed to the two rotary parts makes it possible to drive the flywheel (13) always in the same direction. A balance (4) provided with a counterweight (4a) serves to balance the whole.

Description

Vorrichtung zum Erzeugen von Elektrizität auf Strassen.Device for generating electricity on roads.
Vorrichtung zum Erzeugen von Elektrizität auf Strassen, eine Vorrichtung zum Erzeugen von Elektrizität gemäss dem Oberbe¬ griff des Patentanspruches. Mittels Fahrzeugen die, die bei¬ den Auflaufflächen-Metallplatten, die lo cm. über dem Stras- senbelag liegen befahren, Drücken mit ihren Gewichten diese Metallplatten auf die Strassenbelagshöhe hinunter und gibt der an einer Metallplatte mit Gelenk befestigten Zahnstange, Schub nach unten, wobei die Zähne dieser in das am Schwung¬ rad befestigte Zahnrad eingreifen und das Schwungrad, das wie auch das Zahnrad, die verlängerte Generatorenachse bestücken, den Generator in Rotation bringen, derart, dass der Generator die Nutzbare Elektrizität Erzeugen kann.Device for generating electricity on roads, a device for generating electricity according to the preamble of the claim. By means of vehicles, the two metal plates, the lo cm. Drive over the road surface, press these metal plates with their weights down to the level of the road surface and give the rack, which is attached to a metal plate with a joint, thrust downwards, the teeth of which engage in the gear wheel attached to the flywheel and the flywheel, which, like the gearwheel, which populate the extended generator axis, bring the generator into rotation in such a way that the generator can generate the usable electricity.
Um ein reibungsloses funktionieren dieser Anlage zu gewähren, das Schwungrad immer in gleicher Richtung in Drehung zu ver¬ setzen,,ist an beiden Rotationsstellen ein Leerlauf einge¬ baut, welcher ein Retourlaufen des Generatores verunmö licht. Um den Gewichtausgleich der Metallplatten-Auflaufflächen und der Zahnstange zu gewährleisten, ist eine Wippe mit der Zahn¬ stange durch ein Gelenk verbunden und um einen Schub der Zahn¬ stange nach oben zu verhindern, wurde an der Wippe ein Manuell regulierbares Gegengewicht angebracht. Auch wurde um die Höhe der zu befahrenen Metallplatten-Auflau lächen zu bestimmen, an der Wippenstange ein verstellbarer Anschlag angebracht.In order to ensure a smooth functioning of this system, to always set the flywheel in rotation in the same direction, an idle is built in at both rotation points, which prevents the generator from running back. In order to ensure the weight compensation of the metal plate run-on surfaces and the rack, a rocker is connected to the rack by a joint and to prevent the rack from being pushed upwards, a manually adjustable counterweight was attached to the rocker. An adjustable stop was also attached to the rocker bar in order to determine the height of the metal plate contact surfaces to be driven on.
Bis heute wird der elektiische Strom mittels Wasserkraft, Kohle, Oel, Atomkraft als Betrieb der Generatoren benutzt. Für alle diese Möglichkeiten braucht es Investitionsmässig viel Kapital und dadurch immer teurerer Strom, Alternativen gab es nur Atomkraftwerke ja oder nein.To date, electricity from hydro, coal, oil, nuclear power is used to operate the generators. All of these options require a lot of capital in terms of investment and therefore more and more expensive electricity, alternatives were only nuclear power plants yes or no.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, der Ursachen der geschilderten Schwierigkeiten ergibt sich, dass es notwen¬ dig ist, eine neue und umweltsichere Art, Elektrizität zu Er¬ zeugen. Aus dieser Perspektive heraus wurde die Vorrichtung zum Erzeugen von Elektrizität auf Strassen, erdacht und kon-, " struiert. Die Bauart dieser Anlagen kann mit normalen Mitteln erstellt werden und dadurch ein Wohl für alle Benutzer, günstigen Strom abgegeben werden. Zum Beispiel die Gross-Industrie, diese könnte sich und einen grossen Kreis der Bevölkerung resp. Haushaltungen ihres Domizils mit elektrischem Strom versorgen, einzige Bedingung: gut frequentierte Strassen unter denen die Anlage gebaut wird. The invention is therefore based on the object, the causes of the difficulties described arises that it is necessary to generate a new and environmentally safe way of generating electricity. From this perspective, the device for generating electricity on roads was conceived and constructively, "struiert. The design of these systems can be created with normal means and thus a good for all users, cheap electricity can be delivered. For example, the large-scale industry, which could itself and a large circle of the population resp. Provide households in their home with electricity, the only condition: well-frequented streets under which the system is built.
lo cm. über dem Strassenbelag 1, befinden sich die beiden Auflaufflächen-Metallplatten lb, wobei das Ueberfahren die¬ ser, die Platten nach unten drückt und sie auf die Höhe der Strassenbelagsflache bringt. Die beiden Platten sind durch ein elenk ld, miteinander verbunden, wobei eine der Plat¬ ten lb, mittels einem Gelenk, im Boden befestigt und veran¬ kert lc, ist.lo cm. Above the road surface 1, the two run-on surface metal plates 1b are located, the passage over them pressing the plates downward and bringing them to the level of the surface of the road surface. The two plates are connected to one another by an articulated ld, one of the plates lb being fastened and anchored lc by means of a joint in the ground.
An der Unterseite einer dieser Metallplatten lb, ist diese mit einem Gelenk ld mit der Zahnstange verbunden und befest¬ igt. Die Zahnstange 2, hängt Senkrecht an der Platte lb und weist am unteren Ende, die für die Antriebsfunktion benötig¬ ten Zähne auf.On the underside of one of these metal plates 1b, this is connected and fastened to the toothed rack with a joint 1d.

Um die nötige Sicherheit auf der Strasse zu gewährleisten, werden die wetallplatten-Au laufflächen lb, mit Gummiabdicht¬ ung versehen. "Analog wie früher bei den Verkehrsampeln". Spannfeder 12, diese spannt die Verbindung zwischen Wippe 4 und Wippensockel 7 .In order to ensure the necessary safety on the road, the wetallplatte treads lb are provided with rubber sealing. "As in the past with traffic lights". Tension spring 12, this tensions the connection between rocker 4 and rocker base 7.
Schwungrad 13 und Zahnrad 8 bestücken die verlängerte Gene¬ ratorachse 14.Flywheel 13 and gearwheel 8 populate the extended generator axis 14.
Sockel 15 als befestigte Stütze und Unterlage für den Gene¬ rator 3, dieser Sockel 15 wird am Λaschinenrau boden festge¬ schraubt. Base 15 as a fixed support and base for the generator 3, this base 15 is screwed onto the machine floor.
