Abstract

A Recycling Energy Engine is using the thermal energy in a hot chamber (22) and hot piston (5) and transfers the steam into cold chamber (23) and cold piston (17) by means of the shock absorber (3) which is in the centre of the crippled shaft (54) and activates the cold energy in the cold chamber (23). The device reverses the condensed steam back to the hot chamber (22) and hot piston (5). In the circulation as the same water is reused the engine saves water and the water which is reversed back to the hot chamber (22) is just below the gas point, so its close to become gas in the hot chamber (22), to activate the hot piston (5) again. Therefore the Recycling Energy Engine reuses the water at the high temperature and the cold energy of the ambient and the hot energy of the heat source. Also the invention uses the heat of the combustion engine which is wasted in the coolant system. The invention uses thermal energy, cold energy and kinetic energy of the chemical reaction of the fuel as well. Thus the devise is a multiple energy engine. Saving energy and producing lesser emission.

Description

This invention relates to Recycling Energy Engine. In the conventional engines such as steam engines only the thermal energy converts into kinetic energy. The steam and the heat is been wasted in to the atmosphere. The invention coverts the cold energy into kinetic energy using the differences between the temperature of the ambient and the steam by means of the cold chamber. That's saving not only the energy but also the liquid (water, ethyl alcohol etc.). In this invention the liquid is not consumable for steam engines but it is been reused. Also as the liquid (water) which is coming from the cooled steam is just below the gas point thus it's close to becoming gas temperature point. Rather than heating up from room temperature point which consumes more energy and time. If the heat source is been used from an explosive fuel such as diesel that will also be a Multiple Energy engine (fig 10) because from the explosive a kinetic energy has been used, from the heat, thermal energy has been used and from the coolant radiator Cold Energy will be used. This will save the thermal energy which is wasted in a car coolant radiator. In this shape the hot piston of the device is associated with diesel engine piston and environment. In the boilers which the thermal energy is used mechanical energy of the chemical reaction has been wasted. This invention uses more then one form of energy from one reaction. Kinetic energy, thermal energy and cold energy therefore the device also can be called Multiple Energy Engine. The invention produces more energy but with lesser emission.
This can be used as a car engine also as an electricity generator.
In this device, the thermal energy is converting liquid into gas to produce steam. The steam then pushes up the hot piston (5) inside the hot chamber (22). In stead of releasing the steam in to the atmosphere causing emission and wasting energy the device transfers the steam into another chamber called the cold chamber (23).
In the cold chamber (23), the steam gets colder and pulls the cold piston (17) down. As the steam cools down it becomes liquid (water) again. But this liquid (water) is hotter than room temperature and just below the gas point. Not only the atmosphere and the thermal energy but the device also saves water which is consumable in hydrothermal generators. The liquid (water) in the cold chamber (23) being transferred into the hot chamber (22) again using the same water at a higher temperature. This means it saves energy as well.
The heat source (6) heats up the water (7) inside the hot chamber (22) thus producing steam which then pushes the hot piston (5) upwards producing kinetic energy. Thus pushing rod (15) pushes up the hot pedal (1) assembled above the hot piston (5). When the hot pedal (1) is at its high point the helical expanding springs hot (4) on the pushing rod (15) stretches. The valve bar hot (20) touches the valve connector opener hot (9) and opens the valve (8). At this point helical expanding springs hot (4) on the pushing rod (15) pulls down the pushing rod (15). During this process, the helical expanding springs cold (21) on the cold chamber (23) is stretched. When the valve bar hot (20) activates the valve (8) the cold piston (17) intakes the steam from the hot chamber (22) to the cold chamber (23). When the hot piston (5) is at the very low point of the hot chamber (22), the valve bar hot (20) closes the valve (8). At this stage all the steam has been transferred to the cold chamber (23). When the cold piston (17) in the cold chamber (23) is at the very high point the pulling rod (14) clicks on to the cold pedal (2). When the steam cools down in the cold chamber (23) the pulling rod (14) retrieves the cold pedal (2). When cold pedal (2) is close to the very low point, the steam becomes liquid, the pulling rod releaser (13) holds the pulling rod (14) so that it won't go around, and the cold piston (17) will be released and the cold pedal (2) will be freed to be pulled up by means of hot pedal (1).
When the cold piston (17) is close to the bottom of the cold chamber (23) the valve bar (24) touches the valve connector opener cold (11) and then valve (8) opens up. The steam has become liquid (water) in the cold chamber (23) and is transferred into the hot chamber (22). At the bottom of the cold chamber (23) the magnet (25) pulls down the cold piston (17) so all of the water is pushed back into the hot chamber (22). When the cold piston (17) is at the very bottom of the cold chamber (23) the valve bar cold (24) touches valve connector closer (12) and closes up the valve (8). The magnet field should be strong enough to pull down the cold piston (17) only. It is not too strong to keep down the cold piston. Although the magnet, could be electro magnet which activates by a connector when the cold piston (17) is near to the bottom.
The hot piston (5) is pushing the hot pedal (1) relatively faster than to the cold piston (17) which is pulling down the cold pedal (2). The crippled shaft (54) is a U shaped, which 2 parts that are adjoining with the shock absorber which transfers the power from one pedal to the other using a helical torsion spring (34) in the shock absorber (3) (fig 2). This means one half of the circulation is faster than the other. The shock absorber (3) is transferring the speed of the hot shaft (28) in the next half of the circulation by means of the helical torsion spring (34) in the shock absorber (3). This makes the speed of the cold shaft (27), which is pulled by the cold piston (17), constant through the circulation. One way shaft teeth (19) are stopping the shafts from reversing especially when the shock absorber is turning around the cold shaft by means of the energy stored from the hot shaft (28) to the cold shaft (27).
When magnet (25) is pulling down the cold piston (17), of course cold water transfers to the hot chamber (22) also retains some cold water in the spray container (29) which is associated to the of the cold chamber (23). In the spray container (29) a provided spray pump (39) sprays the cold water onto the steam in the cold chamber (23). When the cold chamber (23) pulls down the cold piston (17) pump arm (33) connected to the cold piston (17) exerts pressure thus spraying the cold water from the spray container (29) in to the cold chamber (23) substantially through the cold piston (17). This helps cool down the temperature of the steam which accelerates the speed of the cold piston (17). The spray access lid (31) is been opened by the opening finger (32) which is attached to the cold piston (17) opposite to the spray access lid (31). Spray access lid (31) is been sported by a helical torsion spring (34) to keep it closed. Spray pump (39) is substantially flexible and arranged so that when the steam becomes water it stops the spraying water. When the spray pump (39) goes up by the helical compression spring (41) the spray container (29) intakes condensed water.
The shock absorber (3) is a kind of coupling which is assembled in between two shafts contains a helical torsion spring (34) and opposite two attached pins (38c) - (38h) as shown in the fig.7. Both ends of the helical torsion spring (34) are immobilized to each attached pin. And attached pins (38c) - (38h) are welded on the shafts as illustrated in (fig 8). When the hot shaft (28) turns the shock absorber (3) the helical torsion spring (34) stores relatively smaller energy. At this time in the circle, there is a gap in the position of the hot shaft (28) and the cold shaft (27). But the helical torsion spring (34) stored energy therefore pulls around the cold shaft (27). When the cold shaft (27) turns and reaches the position of the hot shaft (28), attached pin (38c) contacts the attached pin (38h) at this stage the helical torsion spring (34) is in free position. When the cold shaft (27) pulls down by cold piston (17) the attached pin (38c) on the cold shaft (27) pushes around the hot shaft (28) as illustrated in (fig 7). Briefly, the attached pin (38h) pulls around the cold shaft (27) (fig 7) and the attached pin (38c) pushes around the hot shaft (28) (fig 8).
Helical expanding springs cold (21) which are arranged on both the cold piston (17) and the cold pedal (2) are at free position when the cold pedal (2) is at the lower position. The helical expanding spring (21) are expanding, thus storing energy when the cold pedal (2) is in the high position. The energy stored as small as transferring the steam into the cold chamber (23) and against the friction. The spring rates of the helical expanding springs cold (21) are smaller than the rate of the helical torsion spring (34) in the shock absorber (3).
Helical expanding springs cold (21) which are arranged on the cold piston (17), are at the free position when the cold pedal (2) is at the lower position. They are expanding and storing energy when the cold pedal (2) is in the high position. The energy stored is as small as pulling up the cold piston only. The spring rate of the helical torsion spring (34) in the shock absorber (3) has got to be much higher than helical expanding springs cold (21) that are arranged on the cold piston. When the hot pedal (1) is turning around the cold pedal (2) via the shock absorber (3) the helical expanding springs cold (21) stretches. When the valve (8) opens up by valve bar cold (24), the steam transfers to the cold chamber (23) by the energy stored in the helical expanding springs cold (21). At this stage as the cold piston (17) is in the high position, the pulling rod (14) hooks onto the cold pedal (2). In the cold chamber (23) the steam cools down by means of the coolant radiator unit (18) and spray hose (30). This produces cold energy. So, the pulling rod (14) retrieves the cold pedal (2). When the steam becomes water in the cold chamber (23) magnet (25) helps to pull down the cold piston (17) to the very bottom of the cold chamber (23) so that the steam that became water is pushed back to the hot chamber (22) as well as into the spray container (29). The spray container (29) is engaged to the cold chamber (23). The spray container access lid (31) supported by the lid helical torsion spring (43). The spray container access lid (31) opens by the lid finger (44) when the cold piston (17) grounds to the cold chamber (23) the liquid goes into the spray container (29). The spray pump (39) does not take air when it resets, but the water from the cold chamber (17) only. The spray pump resets by the helical compression spring (41).
The coolant radiator unit (18) (fig 6) is constructed of a coolant fan (36), water pump (35), coolant radiator (37) and cold water pipes (45) on the outer surface of the cold chamber (23) and spray container (29). The water pump (35), of course, pumps the water through the cold water pipes (45). The coolant fan (36) having a stream of cold air onto the coolant radiator (37), to cool down the water in the cold water pipes (45).
There are 2 one way shaft teeth unit (19) (fig 5), one on each shaft. By means of the teeth lock (40) the shafts has not been allowed to reverse (fig 5) especially at the time that the shock absorber (3) turns the cold shaft (27).
The pulling rod (14) can be many shapes as shown in (fig 2) (fig 3) and (fig 4). In (fig 3) is in two parts, one connected to the cold chamber (23) by a hinge the other connected to cold pedal (2) by a bearing. Also there are 2 hooks in the middle that clicks onto each other when it's pulling down the cold shaft (27). The pulling rod releaser (13) is on the side that the direction of the circulation happens to hold up the pulling rod (14) (fig 3). The other shape can be a pulling rod associated on both cold piston (17) and cold pedal as one unit (fig 4). In this case, each shaft, cold shaft (27) and hot shaft (28) should have individual pinions (16) for the power output.
As the hot chamber could be cylinder or a cubic shape but the cold chamber and pistons substantially has to be the same volume as the hot chamber (22) but flat shaped box. To have the surface of the cold chamber (23) bigger so the cooling process is faster. As the physics law states the bigger the contact surface is, the faster the heat transfers is. This Recycling Energy
Engine could be one hot and cold shaft only as illustrated (fig 1) also could be 2 or more hot and cold chambers and pistons. The pinion (16) which is attached to the cold shaft (27) is giving the final power output.
The valve (8) could be manual as illustrated in (fig 1) or computerized. But the timing is important. Of course the temperature of the ambient is very important for the cooling system which is the coolant radiator unit (18). When the ambient is hot the cooling system of the cold chamber (23) will be slower. This will reduce the energy efficiency. On the other side the hot chamber will get hot faster. Therefore, there maybe a need for a computer to control the cooling of the cold chamber (23) and heating of the hot chamber (22) to keep a balanced speed between the chambers in accordance to the outside temperature, although the shock absorber provides substantial balance between both shafts.
The radius of the cold pedal (2) is smaller compared to the hot pedal (1) incase the cold chamber (23) is flat and laid.
To produce the steam the liquid is water, also could be any other liquid which has a gas temperature point smaller but the flammable temperature point bigger, where it matters.
The coolant radiator unit (18) basically is made of cold water pipes (45) and water flowing through them. Also there is a coolant fan (36) which is blowing the air over the cold water pipes (45) and coolant radiator (37) cools down the water in the cold water pipes (45) and those pipes are attached onto the outer surface of the cold chamber (23). The cooling pipes are assembled all over the cold chamber (23) as well as in the cold piston (17).In the inner core of the cold chamber (23) the cold water pipes (45) are very close to the inner surface. So the heat transfer is faster. The cold water pipes can be two or more parallel to each other. On the cold chamber (23) the cold water pipes starts from the bottom of the cold chamber (23) and rotates up around the cold chamber (23). In this shape the condensed water that goes back into the hot chamber (22) is colder. When the cold water pipes (45) starts from the upper part of the cold chamber (23) rotates around and is finished at the bottom of the cold chamber (23) the water goes back to the hot chamber (22) is relatively hotter. Also the pipes can be zigzag shapes up and down. The cold water pipes (45), also goes through the cold piston (17). As well as the ambient temperature the speed of the fan and the speed of the water pump are important for the progress of the cooling system. Of course, the faster the water pump (35) and faster the coolant fan (36) is the faster of the coolant progress. Therefore, there may be a need of a computerized brain to balance the hot and cold energy progresses although the shock absorber (3) does the significant balancing of the speed and the power of both of the shafts. For the cooling progress of the spray unit can be two or more for a faster cooling progress. It is important that the pump provided in the spray container does not take air when it is resetting but intakes the liquid water from inside the cold chamber (23). The spring pump is being pushed up by helical compression spring (41) should not intake ambient air when it's resetting but intakes the liquid (water) from inside the cold chamber (23).
It is not necessary to have the helical expanding springs cold (21) associated with cold piston (23) and cold pedal (2). As the shock absorber (3) does the same job. In this way there will not be the need of the hook of the pulling rod (14) (fig 4). But a bearing connected to the cold pedal (2) so it will be a constant circulation. Also the shock absorber transfers the steam from hot chamber (22) to the cold chamber (23).
It is not necessary to have the helical expanding springs (21) associated with cold piston (23) and cold pedal (2). As the shock absorber (3) does the same job. In this shape there will not be a need of the hook of the pulling rod (14). But a rod connected to the cold pedal (2) with a bearing and connected to the cold piston (17) with a hinge. In this shape instead of helical expanding springs (21) the shock absorber (3) is transferring the steam from the hot chamber (22) to the cold chamber (23).
The valve (8) and the valve bars, openers and closers, of hot and cold chambers can be conducted by one computerized unit which opens valve (8) when the hot piston (5) is at the high position and closes valve (8) when hot piston (5) at the lowest position and opens up when cold piston (17) is at the position that the steam becomes liquid and closes again when all the condensed liquid transfers back to the hot chamber(22) and spray container (29).
The hot chamber (22) and the cold chamber (23) can be any shape. But it is important to have the cold chamber (23) flat to have a wide surface.
The crippled shaft bearings (46) are attached to the crippled shaft (54) to stabilize the cripple shaft (54).
Although the helical expanding springs cold (21) are positioning the pulling rod (14) at the time when its clicking to the cold pedal (2) there may be a need of a protective and positioning cover for accuracy catching of the cold pedal (2).
In the water spray container (29) at the very top part of the spray pump (39) the pump helical torsion spring (56) releases the pump arm (33) when the cold piston (17) is at the bottom of the cold chamber (23) by means of the associated pump helical torsion spring which is tensed.
