• the "HYDROMOTIVE BOX" of the present invention is described as a main reservoir (1), in cubic, cylindrical, or in any polyhedral shape, done in metallic structure or any other non deformable material, tightly closed and totally sealed when closed, with opening with cover (2) for provisioning, totally sealed when closed, having other opening linked to a empty tube (3), in curve of 180° for entrance of water, touching its inferior part and perfectly welded to the main reservoir (1), or linked to this by process that allows total sealing, impeding the entrance of air, extending until the interior of the reservoir of return (7) of water; and an opening linked to a tube of water exit (4), in its inferior part, with register (5), leading a turbine or BWT (bomb working as turbine) (6), linked to the reservoir of return (7) of water, smaller than the main reservoir (1), with the superior border open, whose water level cannot be below 8 meters of the superior part of the main reservoir (1), and a piping inside this deposit immersed in water and linked to the entrance of water (3).
• the "HYDROMOTIVE BOX” operation is based on beginnings of the physics and mechanic of fluids and it assists to the concepts and operations described in the sequence.
• the main reservoir (1) of the hydromotive box should be produced in metal totally sealed, besides the cover, when closed (2). With the register (5) closed, it becomes full the main reservoir (1) and the reservoir of return (7) of water, whose level of the water cannot be below 8 meters of the superior part of the main reservoir (1) to make possible the action of the atmospheric pressure. Once the reservoirs full, the register (5) is open to allow the passage of the water.
• the water of the main reservoir (1) pressed by its weight, will drain by the exit piping (4), which will produce vacuum in the superior part of the main reservoir (1). Still when leaving the main reservoir (1), the water will pass by the turbine (6), moving it, and it will drain to the reservoir of return (7) of water, increasing the level of said reservoir of return (7).
• the vacuum produced by the exit of water of the main reservoir (1) will be filled out, making possible the suction of the water contained in the reservoir of return (7), in function of the atmospheric pressure, through the piping (3) that links the main reservoir (1) to the reservoir of return (7), keeping it balanced. It is formed then a continuous movement of fall and ascension of water, which will make possible the continuous feed of the main reservoir (1), the circulation of water by the turbine (6), provoking its movement, the entrance in the reservoir of return (7) and the return by suction to the reservoir. To interrupt the process, it is enough to close the register (5). With the time, due to losses by evaporation, the level of water should be restored.
• a variation of the "HYDROMOTIVE BOX” can be used for generation of energy in small climbs and in places where there is water abundantly. For such, it is just used the main reservoir (1), the up to 8 meters above the level of water, and a piping for suction of water.
• the inventor still glimpsing an operational improvement in the hydromotive box above mentioned, has created a flotation main reservoir to increase the internal pressure in the main reservoir, and consequently in the exit piping and to optimize the flow of circulation of the water.
• a cylindrical reservoir with 100 m of height and basal diameter of 10 m, filled out with water it presents in its base a pressure of 100 m of column of water, 10 atm or 103.300 Kg / m2. Passing the reservoir for a cylindrical shape, of same height, having in its superior portion an enlargement in half-sphere shape, with diameter of 50 m just like a cup, in spite of supporting larger volume of water, therefore more weight, due to the hydrostatic paradox, the pressure in its base will continue to be of a column of water of 100 m.
• the pressure above is transmitted to the whole liquid of the reservoir, being the pressure in the base the result of the pressure exercised by the column of water added the pressure exercised by the half-sphere resulting in 105,91 1 / m2. In that way, pressure can be added to the water to win the resistance of the atmospheric pressure, optimizing the operation of the hydromotive box by for action of the flotation device.
• the dimensions and shape of the reservoir, with smaller internal area and the shape of the main reservoir with larger volume, possible since compatible, will be calculated to overcome the pressure of the reservoir of return (7), added of the atmospheric pressure, obtaining like this the movement and/or continuous flow of the water.
• the improved "HYDROMOTIVE BOX” refers to a flotation device (A) added to the water layer of the main reservoir (1), it could be in any shape, whose medium density is inferior to the one of the water, what makes possible its flotation, calculated in way to present the largest volume in a smaller area with the objective of adding pressure to the interior of the main reservoir (1).
• a valve (9), of only sense, was inserted ascendancy in the return piping (3) to allow better primer of the system.
• the device (8) should has conditions of balance, flotation and stability, capable of keeping it in the wanted position in the main reservoir (1) and allowing the circulation of the water in the system, in accordance with its configuration and weight dimensioned to overcome the pressure of the water in the reservoir of return (7), added of the atmospheric pressure, optimizing the performance of the hydromotive box.
• Another improvement made in the system proposes ways to increase the options for operation of the "HYDROMOTIVE BOX" by alteration of the space disposition of the reservoirs with the purpose of obtaining larger versatility and income, that, as it will be demonstrated, is susceptible to work without the atmospheric pressure and in an ideal combination with the atmospheric pressure only acting in the main reservoir (1), as well as under vacuum or under atmospheric pressure in the main reservoirs (1) and reservoir of return (7).
• this addition it is necessary to know about the behavior of a same liquid in communicating vases:
• the "HYDROMOTIVE BOX" has the main reservoir (1) and the reservoir of return (7) united, in their inferior part, by an exit piping, characterizing a communicating vase with the same liquid (water). Theoretically, the liquid is balanced equaling its pressure in a same horizontal point; however, the flotation device included in the main reservoir (1) increases the internal pressure of said reservoir. Therefore to equal the pressure in two points horizontally aligned, one in the line of the reservoir of return (7) and other in the line of the main reservoir (1), and to obtain balance, the column of water of the reservoir of return (7) will be elevated until reach pressure equivalent to the internal pressure of the main reservoir (1). Consequently, the liquid is balanced equaling its pressure in a same horizontal plan, however the flotation device, included in the main reservoir (1), increases the internal pressure of the said reservoir.
• Such statement can be mathematically proven for the main reservoir (1) in semi-spherical shape with diameter of 100 m and height (stripe) of 50m.
• the flotation device has semi-sphere shape with diameter of 80 m and stripe or height of 40 m with density of 0,99 in relation to water (1t / m 3 ).
• the exit piping is cylindrical with diameter of 10m and extension of 50m.
• the reservoir of return (7) is cylindrical with diameter of 10m.
• the pressure in A will be the height of the column of water in meters added of the pressure of the flotation device that acts in the internal area of the main reservoir (1) added to the internal area of the exit piping.
• the pressure exercised by the flotation device will be its weight divided by the calculated area:
• the pressure in the point A is of 41.320 kgf/m 2 for the height of the column of water and it will be added by the pressure exercised by the flotation device, 7.640 kgf/m 2 , the total pressure in the point A will be 48.960 kgf/m 2 .
• - Case 1 the main reservoir (1) is closed to vacuum and the reservoir of return (7) under atmospheric pressure.
• the column should be elevated 48,96 m above the point A', but the atmospheric pressure of 10.330 kgf/m 2 acts reducing its height and stabilizing it in 38,63m, in this case the total height of the level of water of the reservoir of return (7) will be of 48,63m (1 ,37m below the level of water of the main reservoir) once the point A is 10m above the inferior level of the water, this height of the column is enough to keep the "Hydromotive Box" operation, because the atmospheric pressure will elevate the water by the return piping, making it to return to the main reservoir (!).
• - Case 2 the main reservoir (1) is under atmospheric pressure just like the reservoir of return (7).
• the "HYDROMOTIVE BOX” of this improvement refers to a hydromotive box (C) composed of a main reservoir (1) of semi-spherical shape, united by piping (4) of exit to the reservoir of return (7).
• the flotation device (9) equally semi-hysterical, increases the internal pressure in the main reservoir (1), and to equal the pressure in the points (A and A') with the same quotas (h and h 1 ), and to obtain the balance of the liquid, the column of water in the reservoir of return (7) will rise (H') until reaching the pressure equivalent to the internal pressure of the main reservoir (1) of level (H), as demonstrated in the figure 6.
• the figure 7 demonstrates the operation of the hydromotive box (C) with the main reservoir (1) closed with cover (2) to vacuum and the reservoir of return (7) under atmospheric pressure (PA).
• the figure 8 demonstrates the operation of the hydromotive box (C) with the main reservoir (1) subject to the atmospheric pressure (PA) just like the reservoir of return (7).
• the figure 9 demonstrates the operation of the hydromotive box (C) with the main reservoir (1) open, as well as the reservoir of return (7) to vacuum.
• the figure 10 shows the hydromotive box (C) worked under atmospheric pressure in the reservoirs (1 and 7) with option of putting a turbine (6) in the return piping (3) subsequent to the register (5).
• the figure 11 shows the hydromotive box (C) worked with the reservoirs (1 and 7) with option of putting a turbine (6) in the return piping (3) subsequent to the register (5).
• the figure 12 shows the hydromotive box (C) worked with the main reservoir (1) open and the reservoir of return (7) closed to vacuum with cover (2), with option of putting a turbine (6) in the return piping (3) subsequent to the register (5), in that case the exit of water should be under positive pressure.
