Definitions
- the invention relates to motional cycle generated by motion and circling of turbines through kinetic energy generated from flows of all articles transferred or passing through pipe including fluids and gas (water and steam) derivatives, regardless of flat, horizontal, vertical and any other forms of pipes whatsoever in cylindrical non-bent pipes.
- Water is of vital importance for survival of living beings. It is water that provides all biological life and all man activities from the smallest living organism to the biggest living being, Covering 70 % of the world, water also constitutes essential part of our body. Volume of water in the world is 141 billion m 3 . This quantity is of a size that can surround the world surface in a layer of 3 km thick.
- Mankind meets water need from ground and underground water sources. The most important source of fresh water is precipitation. Yearly global precipitation is 500 thousand m 3 and quantity of precipitation falling on the earth is the same every year. Yearly precipitation average of the world is 1000 mm and yearly precipitation average of Turkey is 643 mm.
- renewable energy means indefinite, sustainable, storable and clean energy.
- hydro energy is the renewable energy source which is used the most.
- Source of hydraulic energy is the operation of a generator upon rotation of blades in a turbine by moving water and thus conversion of mechanical energy into electric energy.
- Electrical energy is already generated at hydroelectric power plants installed in our country and many countries in the world. 24 % of world population generate energy from hydroelectric power plants. Particularly, having natural sources such as rivers, waterfalls are abundant, our country has good conditions for installation of hydroelectric power plants and generation of electricity from such power plants just because most settlement areas are in areas near such natural sources.
- Wind turbines use a rotor, a power shaft and a generator converting kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. While passing through the rotor, wind generates an aerodynamic lifting power and rotates the rotor. The rotational motion moves the dynamo and generates electricity. Turbines also have a rotor control which adjusts rotation rate and stops motion of blades. As the intensity of wind increases in proportion to height, the wind turbines are located at the tops of the towers.
- Turbine is a tool used to convert energy of a fluid into work.
- a turbine consists of a spindle and blades thereon. Structure of turbine varies subject to the fluid in use. Operation principle of the turbines in market is as follows. The fluid hits the turbine blades, initiates motion of the turbine spindle and motion is converted into mechanical work at spindle exit.
- Steam turbines are used in power plants in general, steam is generated by use of energy from fossil fuels (petroleum or natural gas) or nuclear fuel.
- the steam hits the turbine blades and rotates blades, and energy is generated by means of rotation obtained at turbine exit. It is the power unit which converts potential energy of steam into kinetic energy and the kinetic energy into mechanical energy.
- Operating principle Pressure and temperature of the steam entering fixed blade are decreased. However, the steam gets a certain speed rate. Steam gaining speed hits the blades and generates mechanical energy.
- Water turbine is again used in power plants (hydro electric power plant). It works with the same principle as the steam turbine. The flowing water hits the turbine blades and generates a power on the blades. Thus water flowing power is converted into power rotating the turbine.
- Water turbines are divided into two groups, reaction and impulse turbines Shapes and designs of water turbine blades are provided according to water pressure source.
- Figure 1 is general view of entry and exit turbines.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of pipe cross-section of turbine embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 3 is profile view of turbine and pipe where to be placed.
- turbines are provided with operating feature without any structural and adjustment sizing changes, with no difference in fluid, gas, vapour case object, thanks to new angle and design change (diameter, pressure, quantity and mass features) made in turbine design.
- fixing (working and stopping) feature is provided without need for any setting and angle change in turbines for minimum or maximum value increases or decreases (not figure restricted).
- the invention consists of an entry turbine (1 ) and an exit turbine (2) fixed onto section with cut water pipe (6) on a water pipe (5), entry turbine vertical and bent blade tip (1 .2) helping progress and direction of water without failure of flowing, exit turbine flat blade tip (2.1 ) circling as a result of high pressure and fast pitting of water and located at certain angles, bearing (3) providing connection between section with cut water pipe (6) and water pipe (5) and felt (4) used to prevent water leakage.
- Turbines (1 , 2) are located inside water pipe (5) in a position facing each. Entry turbine (1 ) is fixed vertically in the section where water enters. Thus it divides the fast and compressed water at certain angles and transfers to exit turbine (2) fixed to section with cut water pipe (6). Water transfer may proceed faster thanks to fixing turbines (1 , 2) not horizontally but vertically.
- Water pipe (5) is fixed and in cylinder shape. A certain section should be cut in order to place the turbines (1 , 2) in the water pipe (5). This area is called section with cut water pipe (6).
- Section with cut water pipe (6) is fixed to water pipe (5) by means of felt (4) and bearings (3).
- Section with cut water pipe (6) can move at a high speed driven by the force generated from water pressure by help of entry turbine (1 ) and exit turbine (2).
- Entry turbine (1 ) in the water inlet inside water pipe (5) and exit turbine (2) inside section with cut water (6) pipe are welded to pipe vertically and fixed face to face. Unlike existing turbines, entry turbine (1 ) inside the water pipe (5) and exit turbine (2) in the section with cut water pipe (6) do not take the motion via spindle in the centre.
- Blade structures of entry turbine (1 ) and exit turbine (2) consist of entry turbine vertical and bent blade tip (1 .2), exit turbine flat blade tip (2.1 ). Motion is not received from spindle but outside.
- Cylinder water pipe (5) is obtained by cutting in the middle. Entry turbine (1 ) is fixed to the pipe floor of the fixed section of water pipe (5) and exit turbine (2) is fixed to the pipe floor of the section with cut water pipe (6) at 45 degrees angles facing each other vertically by means of welding.
- the section with cut water pipe (6) is fixed by means of bearings (3) in order to provide return to connection points and motion, and placing felt (4) inside the bearings (3) to provide sealing.
- the water fed from high lands or to city networks via water pumps flows at high pressure and velocity through water pipe (5).
- the exit turbine (2) pushes the water flowing received by it, provides water to go much further and helps the section with cut water pipe (6) get motion at higher speed by means of bearings (3).
- the sections where the bearings (3) are connected to the water pipe (5) are motionless, the section with cut water pipe (6) is capable to move thanks to the bearings (3).
- the bearings (3) both provide interconnection of the pipes (5, 6) and performance of rotational motion. It is possible to develop multiple various embodiments of the mechanism disclosed under this invention based on this basic concept and the invention is mainly as disclosed under the claims and can not be restricted to the samples described hereunder.
