Description

Device for converting flow energy transported through a medium into mechanical and/or electrical energy

The present invention relates to a device for converting flow energy transported through a medium into mechanical and/or electrical energy according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

DE 10 2010 024 621 A1 discloses an energy converter with a supply channel for a medium and a turbine wheel downstream of the supply channel, in which the turbine wheel is downstream of a converter wheel such that the converter wheel set in rotation by the medium can be accelerated to rotate the turbine wheel is. This energy converter works efficiently and can convert the energy of a fluid flowing in a pipe part into energy with a relatively simple and compact structure.

The object of the present invention is to create a device for converting flow energy transported through a medium into rotary mechanical and/or electrical energy, which retains these properties but is even more efficient and can be adapted to the flow properties of the fluid. Furthermore, a constructive design is to be created that enables control and regulation of the energy converter for optimal use of the flow energy from water power and wind power or other flowing media. Furthermore, the production and use of such equipment should be climate-neutral and sustainable to a large extent and have a property that visually and otherwise has little negative impact on the landscape.

Thus, a facility should be created that

• strengthens those flow conditions that prevail without such a device, insofar as the respective fluid impinges on a turbine or on a jet engine, a pump or the like - which is already described in DE 10 2010 024 621 A1 - and beyond that

• further optimize the use of flow energy from hydroelectric power, wind power or other flowing media for energy generation, and

CONFIRMATION COPY those further beyond

•—Very particularly preferred—controllable and easily adjustable use of the device o allows both low and high flow velocities and o large fluctuations in flow velocities.

In addition, the device should be able to fulfill multi-functional tasks that go beyond the conversion of flow energy transported through a medium into rotational mechanical and / or electrical energy, which includes, among other things, creating such a device that, in addition to energy generation, environmentally friendly and during their use CO2-neutral cooling and ventilation of buildings and rooms.

This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1 and a method according to claim 16. The dependent claims contain advantageous developments of the invention. The device enables the conversion of flow energy transported through a medium into mechanical and/or electrical energy. The mechanical energy can be of rotational or pumping origin.

Summary of the basic principles according to DE 10 2010 024 621 Al:

Since the present invention is based on patent application DE 10 2010 024 621 A1, the principles on which that application is based are to be summarized below, which also apply to the present invention. In addition, reference is made to patent application DE 10 2010 024 621 A1.

The device described there includes, among other things

• a turbine wheel,

• a so-called converter wheel, which is a device for generating additional negative pressure in relation to the atmospheric pressure present in the device and thus for further increasing the pressure difference after the turbine wheel compared to atmospheric pressure, whereby the inflow speed of the fluid into the the housing surrounding the turbine wheel is enlarged, • at least one generator.

The device for generating additional negative pressure is arranged behind the turbine wheel, viewed in the direction of flow of the medium. It is rotatable and is preferably located in the same axial direction as the turbine wheel.

According to this prior art, when the device is rotated, either by a drive motor or by the presence of fluid flow, the speed of the converter wheel can be differentially increased by the drive motor. This increases the pressure difference that exists between the pressure of the medium in the housing surrounding the turbine wheel and the pressure in the region of the turbine wheel. The housing surrounding the turbine wheel can be designed as a supply channel for water, air or other flowing media. This results in a significantly higher flow rate of the medium in the housing or feed channel, i. H. a much larger kinetic energy of the medium.

Assuming the same performance as a conventional wind turbine, the diameter of the turbine wheel of the energy converter according to the invention can be comparatively small as a result of this generic prior art. Furthermore, because of the large number of blade parts of the turbine wheel combined with the corresponding number of guide vane parts of the guide vane ring of what is known there as a molded part of the turbine wheel, the efficiency is significantly increased compared to the conventional wind wheel. With the same performance of a wind turbine and the present energy converter, the construction of the present energy converter can be relatively small. In addition, conventional wind turbines have to be switched off at high wind speeds.

This well-known energy converter is compact, light, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to transport and assemble, relatively insensitive to lightning. It can be set up and operated on the ground, on buildings, terraces, etc. Even in this known embodiment, there is no risk of damage in the event of sudden gusts of wind.

With the generator driven by the turbine wheel of the energy converter, constant power generation can be achieved in that the speed of the converter wheel is regulated in such a way that a constant volume speed of the medium is set in the supply channel. The medium flowing in with this with increased inflow velocity, which is z. B. is air, also sets the converter wheel in rotation and drives an additional generator via an additional gear. With the drive motor if necessary, depending on the flow speed, a differentiated increase in speed is delivered to the converter wheel in order to change the inflow speed so that the flow around the turbine wheel is optimal. It is therefore not necessary to change the angle of attack of the blade parts and the guide blade parts.

The housing surrounding the turbine wheel, which can be designed as a supply channel, is not limited to a particular spatial-geometric configuration. It is preferably formed as a tube part, with a molded part protruding into the end region of the tube part being arranged on the side of the tube part facing the turbine wheel. The shaped part is designed in such a way that it directs the medium from the longitudinal axis of the tube part in the direction of the inner wall of the tube part. The molded part is conical and arranged concentrically to the tubular part. The molded part has guide vane parts on its outer circumference, which each run in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the pipe part and are spaced uniformly from one another on the outer circumference of the pipe part. In this way, a flow channel is formed between two adjacent guide vane parts, a corresponding area of the outer circumference of the molded part and a corresponding area of the inner wall of the pipe part, which flow channel leads to the blade parts of the turbine wheel.

The blade portions of the turbine wheel are evenly spaced around a circumference of the turbine wheel. They extend away from the molding to the side of the converter wheel and are inclined in the circumferential direction of the turbine wheel.

The turbine wheel is connected to a turbine shaft, which is non-rotatably connected to a generator to generate electricity.

The converter wheel is in turn arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on a rotatable hollow shaft. It has two parallel, spaced-apart circular disks, in the intermediate space of which are arranged channels which run outwards from its center and open outwards, in which the medium is guided outwards when the converter wheel rotates. The channels each comprise a first area that runs radially outwards from a central antechamber assigned to all channels and a second area that is angled radially outwards from the first area approximately in the circumferential direction of the converter wheel and opens outwards. The channels are each formed by guide plates arranged between the circular disks.

Air is particularly preferably used as the medium. In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, an atomizer unit is arranged in the supply channel, preferably on the side facing away from the turbine wheel, through which a liquid or vaporous medium is can be inserted into the supply channel, which is preferably water, atomized water droplets or atomized oil.

An exemplary embodiment of such a known energy converter is outlined using the following figures, which largely correspond to those of the generic patent application.

The embodiment of the energy converter shown in FIG. 0-1 and FIG Take up parts of the so-called converter wheel 50 and the turbine wheel 80. The converter wheel 50 is arranged downstream of the turbine wheel 80, viewed in the inflow direction 110 of the relevant fluid.

The profile part 114 accommodates further functional components, such as the generator 85, which is connected via a turbine shaft 81 to the turbine wheel 80 arranged in the housing of the profile part 113, Fig. 0-3. The kinetic energy of the turbine wheel 80 is transferred to the turbine shaft 81 with a high degree of efficiency (FIGS. 0-3). The high speed of the turbine shaft 81 can be reduced via a gear 82, with the corresponding torque being increased.

The converter wheel 50 and the turbine wheel denoted by 80 are rotatably mounted, with the turbine wheel 80 being connected to the turbine shaft 81 in a torque-proof manner. at the dem Turbine wheel 80 opposite side of the turbine shaft 81, the generator 85 is rotatably mounted on the turbine shaft 81, which generates electrical energy when the turbine shaft 81 rotates.

Furthermore, the profile part 114 contains the drive motor 57 for the converter wheel 50 and an additional generator 116 connected to it via a gear 117. The rotation of the drive motor 57 is transmitted to the converter wheel 50 by means that are at the discretion of a person skilled in the art.

The profile part 113 accommodates a pipe part 100 serving as a feed channel. The fluid in question can flow into the interior of the supply channel through the front opening of the supply channel; the inflow direction is identified by the reference numeral 110, Fig. 0-2.

In the end area of the pipe part 100 facing the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 is the shaped part 90, which has a conically widening shape, with guide vane parts 91 being fixed to the end area of the conical shaped part 90 facing the converter wheel 50, spaced evenly apart from one another in the circumferential direction. which extend radially outwards from the molded part 90 to the inner wall of the tubular part 100, FIGS. 0-2, 0-4. The vane parts 91 form a vane ring. The areas 94 of the guide vane parts 91 that face away from the molded part and are lower in FIGS. According to FIGS. 0-4, the vane parts 91 are curved in such a way that they point downwards in the direction of rotation of the turbine wheel 80.

In the presentation gladly. Fig. 0-4 below the pipe part 100 and also below the ring of guide vanes is the turbine wheel 80. In Fig. 0-2, which has been rotated counterclockwise by 90°, the turbine wheel 80 is seen in the inflow direction 110 on the left after the guide vane parts (without reference number ) arranged.

The blade portions 87 of the turbine wheel 80 extend away from the mold portion 90 toward the generator 85 side and are inclined in the circumferential direction of the turbine wheel 80 opposite to the portions 94 of the guide blade portions 91 .

According to Fig. 0-4b, the converter wheel 50 comprises between two circular discs 51a and 51b equally spaced channels 48 in the circumferential direction, each of which runs radially outwards from the center 47 of the converter wheel 50 and shortly before the outer diameter of the converter wheel 50 at an angle the direction of rotation of the Converter wheel 50 run. The channels 52 open radially on the inside into an annular antechamber 46 which is common to them and which surrounds the annular hub part 54 of the converter wheel 50 . The hub part 54 runs with its area 54a facing the disk part 51a in an arc shape outwards from the longitudinal axis of the converter wheel 50 . This ensures a particularly good and turbulence-free flow of the medium from the antechamber 46 into the channels 48 . Above the arcuate area 54a, the hub part 54 can run with its area 54b concentrically to the longitudinal axis of the converter wheel 50 and to the annular channel 41 of the disc part 51a spaced apart from it.

The individual channels 48 are each formed by baffles 44 and 45 in the in the

0-4a each run straight outwards starting from the annular antechamber 46 and are angled to form the channels 48 in such a way that in the straight area between two adjacent guide plates 44 and 45 the area 43 of the channel 48, which runs approximately radially outwards and between the angled end regions of the guide plates 44 and 45, the region 42 is formed, which preferably runs at a right angle to the region 43 running radially outwards.

When the converter wheel 50 is rotated by the drive motor 57 in the direction of rotation shown in FIGS. 0-4a, a medium located in the channels 48 experiences a centrifugal force Fzl as a result of the rotary movement at a speed n. This centrifugal force Fzl is determined by the peripheral speed vl at the radius rl and the mass m of the medium.

The centrifugal force Fzl pushes the medium in the channels 48 to the outside. At the radius r2, just before the right-angled bend of the channels 48, the centrifugal force Fz2 occurs:

The centrifugal force Fz2 accelerates the mass m of the medium to a speed v3, taking the friction loss into account. At this point, i. H. ie shortly before the curvature of the channels 48 occurs a kinetic energy W3 to be calculated for the mass m of the medium.

The medium is deflected against the direction of rotation by the curvature of the channels 48 and, after the curvature, experiences a speed v4 which, because of the friction losses, is less than the speed v3. This results in the kinetic energy W4 to be calculated.

The medium leaves the converter wheel 50 with a kinetic energy W4. This creates a recoil with the same energy. This energy helps drive the converter wheel 50 . During the process explained, a negative pressure is created in the antechamber 46, which causes the external atmospheric pressure 62 to accelerate the medium in front of the converter wheel 50 and to feed it to the converter wheel 50 through the ring channel designated 41 (FIGS. 0-4b). The pressure difference can be increased by increasing the speed of the converter wheel 50 driven by the drive motor 57 .

When the converter wheel 50 is rotated by the drive motor 57, the medium is pressed outwards in the channels 43 of the converter wheel 50 in the manner described in connection with Fig. 0-4a, which is why in the area below the turbine wheel 80, the is rotatably arranged in the ring channel 41, a vacuum is created. The consequence of this is that the medium flows out of the tubular part 100 through the channels formed between the guide vane parts 91 in the direction of the vane parts 87 because of the negative pressure mentioned and because of the atmospheric pressure 62 prevailing in the tubular part 100 . The turbine wheel 80 is set in rotation and transmits its rotation via the turbine shaft to the generator 85, which generates electrical energy corresponding to the rotation.

The volume flow 40 is deflected by the molded part 90 in such a way that an optimal pressure is exerted on the blade parts 87 of the turbine wheel 80 .

An overall profile part 112 is fastened to the outwardly opening tube part 100 which, with a profile area 113, surrounds a tube part 100 referred to as the supply channel. The profile area 113 extends in the direction of the converter wheel 50. The overall profile part 112 also includes a further profile area 114, which, starting from the converter wheel 50, leads to the side facing away from the profile area 113 and at the same time serves to cover the generator and the drive compartment.

The overall profile part 112 is arranged coaxially to the longitudinal axis, which preferably runs horizontally, or to the center 47 . The overall profile part 112 is a round shaped part which is profiled in such a way that the flow 106 is accelerated at the profile contour, with a negative pressure being produced at the upper side of the overall profile part 112 in a manner similar to the wing profile of an airplane.

An outer profile ring 115 attached centrally to the overall profile part 112 experiences a flow 108 on its outside and a flow 107 on its inside. The flow 107 intensifies the flow 106 and thus increases its speed. The flows around 106, 107, 108 all lead in the direction of the “outgoing” wind flow 111. The wind direction of the inflowing wind flow is denoted by 105. The flow 106 with the increased speed entrains the air flowing out of the converter wheel 50 and thus accelerates the outflow 109 at the converter wheel 50 . This in turn causes a negative pressure in the converter wheel 50 and thus a further increase in the pressure difference after the turbine wheel 80. As a result, the inflow speed 110 at the pipe part 100 is increased.

The outflow 109 at the modifier wheel 50 causes a recoil at the modifier wheel 50, as discussed above, and causes the modifier wheel 50 to rotate. This energy can B. via a gear 117 an additional generator 116 and converted into electrical energy.

Summary of the present invention:

Based on DE 10 2010 024 621 A1, the present invention further develops this technology.

The term “medium” is also used synonymously for the term “fluid”.

In the generic publication, the designation converter wheel was chosen for the above-mentioned device that generates the negative pressure in the absence of a general technical term. Since the term "converter wheel" is typically used in automobile transmission construction and is less common in the present area, the term "device for generating additional vacuum" is primarily spoken of, also for the sake of clarity. On the one hand, this makes it clear that this is a negative pressure that is to be distinguished from the general atmospheric pressure. The adjective "additional" expresses the fact that it is a matter of a vacuum that is different - and therefore additional - than the one that arises from the fact that the aforementioned overall profile part of the device is a round molded part that is profiled in such a way that the flow is accelerated at its profile contour, whereby a negative pressure is created on the upper side of the entire profile part, similar to the airfoil profile of an airplane additional negative pressure on the one hand in relation to the atmospheric pressure present in the immediate spatial vicinity of the device and on the other hand in relation to the negative pressure arising as a result of the aforementioned profile of the overall profile part is brought about by this very device, whereby the inflow speed of the medium into the turbine wheel Surrounding housing can be regulated and in particular enlarged. The choice of this term is also because the constructive design of this Component is other than that of the so-called. Converter wheel according to the generic document, which will be explained in more detail below. The "device for generating additional negative pressure" is therefore not limited to a construction like that of the known converter wheel. In this sense, the term "device for generating additional negative pressure" also includes a construction which, analogously to the known construction, could be referred to as a "converter wheel".

If in the following it is said that the device for generating additional negative pressure is "rotatable", it should already be pointed out that the device has rotatable parts which, together with a non-rotating part, make up the device. The non-rotating part is a pattern disc and the rotatable parts include a circular disc and channels between it and the non-rotating pattern disc formed by baffles, also discussed further below.

The device is designed to convert flow energy transported through a medium into mechanical, preferably rotary mechanical, and/or electrical energy. The medium can be air, gas, liquid or a fluid in general.

The regulation of the mass of the medium flowing into the device is possible in all practical use and environmental conditions, which constitutes a central aspect of the present invention.

The geometry of the device, in particular the diameter of the turbine wheel and the diameter of the device for generating additional negative pressure, have a direct influence on use with strong and weak flows of the medium and can in any case be adapted to all essential foreseeable conditions in practical use.

The device can comprise a mast, foot, base, base frame or the like, on or above which the device is arranged, which receives the flow from water power, wind power or other flowing media. The other flowing media can include, for example, exhaust air flows from industrial plants, e.g. biogas plants, composting plants or exhaust gases.

The device has an overall profile part. The overall profile part is the outer casing of the device and is so designated because its design and profile have favorable properties in connection with the flow of the medium. For its part, it can have at least two adjacent profile parts. This Profile parts are part of the outer housing of the overall profile part, which in particular accommodate the flow-related components of the device, in particular the device for generating additional negative pressure, the turbine wheel and the molded part and - preferably - the at least one media supply line, but also, for example, the at least one generator , which may include at least one prime mover, gearbox, turbine shaft, the feed duct, and other parts.

As will be shown below, a profile part of the overall profile part housing can advantageously have an inner housing which leads to the turbine wheel and which contributes to an effect that enhances the flow effect. The inner housing surrounding the turbine wheel can be designed as a supply channel for water, air or other flowing media. This results in a significantly higher flow rate of the medium in the overall profile part or feed channel, i. H. a much larger kinetic energy of the medium. The inner housing surrounding the turbine wheel, which can be designed as a supply channel, is not limited to a particular spatial-geometric configuration. It is preferably formed as a tubular part, with a molded part projecting into the end region of the tubular part being arranged on the side of the tubular part facing the turbine wheel. The shaped part is designed in such a way that it directs the medium from the longitudinal axis of the tube part in the direction of the inner wall of the tube part. The molded part is expediently conical and arranged concentrically with the tubular part. This pipe part is known from the generic document.

The shaped part of a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, which is also known as such from the generic prior art, has guide vane parts on its outer circumference, which each run in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the pipe part and are equally spaced from one another on the outer circumference of the pipe part. In this way, a flow channel is formed between two adjacent guide vane parts, a corresponding area of the outer circumference of the molded part and a corresponding area of the inner wall of the tube part, which flow channel leads to the blade parts of the turbine wheel. The blade portions of the turbine wheel are preferably evenly spaced annularly around a circumference of the turbine wheel. They extend away from the molding to the side of the converter wheel and are inclined in the circumferential direction of the turbine wheel. The number of vane parts can correspond to the number of guide vane parts or deviate slightly to avoid noise. The number of blade parts should preferably always be one blade part higher. i.e. Turbine wheel has one blade section more than the guide vane ring, or turbine wheel has one blade section less than the guide vane ring (for optimal coverage and noise minimization). The device according to the invention can also be operated without the above-described supply channel, so that the medium in question is conducted via an end opening in one profile part designed as an inlet body into the interior of the overall profile part, ie the outer housing in the direction of the turbine wheel. In this case the aforesaid shaped part is arranged in the inner space of the overall profile part without the feed channel. The present invention can dispense with such a supply channel due to the media supply line described further below. Whether such a device should be used together with the at least one media supply line—which will be discussed in more detail below—depends on the respective conditions of use of the device. The invention enables both constructions to be combined and makes the device even more universally applicable. So it can make sense to use such a combination of supply channel and media supply line if maintaining rather small designs is not so important

The turbine wheel is preferably connected to a turbine shaft, which is non-rotatably connected via a gear to a generator to generate electricity.

Instead, however, energy generation by means of induction can also be considered. Stators equipped with electromagnets are supplied with electricity, causing it to create a magnetic field in the windings. The windings in the moving turbine wheel or the moving part of the device for generating additional negative pressure generate the current for the magnetic field in the stator, thus with the magnetic field in the stator the current in the turbine wheel and / or with its magnetic field in the stator of the device for generating additional negative pressure current can be generated. The energy generation depends on the rotation of the turbine wheel and also on the "device for generating additional negative pressure" and can be increased to the desired extent.

With the generator driven by the turbine wheel of the device according to the invention, a constant power generation can be achieved by regulating the speed of the rotatable parts of the device for generating additional negative pressure in such a way that in the profile part designed as the inlet body or in the feed channel a constant volume speed of the inflowing medium is set.

Also within the scope of the present invention, the device for generating additional negative pressure causes, among other things, such an additional negative pressure in relation to the atmospheric pressure present in the device. It thus leads to a further increase in the pressure difference after the turbine wheel in comparison to atmospheric pressure, which increases the inflow speed of the medium into the housing surrounding the turbine wheel.

The device for generating additional negative pressure is arranged behind the turbine wheel, viewed in the direction of flow of the medium. It is rotatably arranged according to the above explanation and is preferably located in the same axial direction as the turbine wheel. If—as already mentioned above—it is said that the device for generating additional negative pressure is rotatable, it should be pointed out once again that the device preferably has rotatable parts which, together with a non-rotating part, make up the device. The non-rotating part is a former and the rotatable parts comprise a circular disc and channels formed by baffles between this and the non-rotating former; this will also be discussed in more detail below. The device can be fixed in any suitable, non-inventive way on the mast, base, foot, base frame or—preferably—in the overall profile part.

The device for generating additional negative pressure can be set in rotation by a drive motor, for example when there is no fluid flow, e.g. due to a lack of wind. If the device is rotated, either by the drive motor or by the existing flow of the medium, the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure can be increased in a differentiated manner by the drive motor according to one embodiment of the invention. This increases the pressure difference that exists between the pressure of the medium in the housing surrounding the turbine wheel and the pressure in the area of the turbine wheel.

The device for generating additional negative pressure and the turbine wheel can therefore be uncoupled from one another if desired, which applies to all of the described variants and embodiments of the device according to the invention. The device for generating additional negative pressure and the turbine wheel can be operated independently of one another, either by the flow of the medium acting on them, or by a respective drive motor whose energy, for example, via a device for generating and transmitting energy or, for example, via at least one Device for storing and supplying electrical energy is drawn. With the drive motor, depending on the flow rate, a differentiated increase in speed is given to the device for generating additional negative pressure in order to change the inflow rate so that the turbine wheel flows optimally around or through it. It is therefore not necessary to change the angle of attack of the blade parts and the guide blade parts. A preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention is designed in such a way that it can be designed with or without a ring of guide vanes. In a further preferred embodiment, the ring of guide vanes is designed in such a way that its blades are movable and can be switched to "passage". Another embodiment is designed such that the blades of the turbine wheel can be switched to "passage". i.e. the free inflow into the device for generating additional negative pressure (converter wheel) and the energy production are taken off only via this device for generating additional negative pressure.

The medium flowing in with this with increased inflow velocity, which is z. B. is air, is also the device for generating additional vacuum, for example in the design of a converter wheel, in rotation and drives an additional generator via an additional gear. The device for generating additional negative pressure is in turn arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on a hollow shaft which is arranged rotatably on the turbine shaft.

The device for generating additional negative pressure has in its interior channels which run outwards from its center and open outwards and in which the medium is guided outwards when the device for generating additional negative pressure is rotated. The channels preferably each comprise a first area that runs radially outwards from a central antechamber assigned to all channels and a second area that is angled radially outwards from the first area approximately in the circumferential direction of the converter wheel and opens outwards. The channels are expediently formed in a particularly simple manner by guide plates arranged inside the device for generating additional negative pressure. This is known per se from the generic prior art.

Special configurations of the device according to the invention are explained in more detail below, which bring about advantageous effects, especially when combined.

Configuration of the pivotability:

As already briefly mentioned, the overall profile part of the device according to the invention is designed as an outer casing. This housing has the turbine wheel and the device downstream of the turbine wheel in the direction of flow of the medium for generating additional negative pressure. On its end face facing the flow of the medium, this housing has an opening through which the relevant medium, for example the wind, can flow into the interior of the overall profile part. The front opening of the overall The profile part having a profile part is hereby also referred to as the inlet body for the medium in question. This inlet body corresponds to one of the above-mentioned at least two mutually adjacent profile parts of the overall profile part. The inlet body can accommodate an inner housing, which can be designed as a feed channel, as explained.

The entire profile part including the inlet body is - based on its longitudinal axis - not rotating, but fixed to the mast, foot, base, base frame or the like.

On the other hand, in one embodiment, the device according to the invention, together with the overall profile part, is designed to be pivotable in or out of the direction of flow of the medium in question. The pivotal movement can be accomplished by conventional drives, gears, sensors and controls, which are within the discretion of those skilled in the art, taking into account, among other things, the typical flow conditions of the medium concerned, seasons, size of the device and intended use. The pivoting movement can be carried out locally, remotely, via app control or automatically or by means of a combination of these.

The possibility of "turning into the wind" and "turning out of the wind" is known per se. The difference between the pivoting movement according to the invention is that it can be used to regulate the projected inflow area of the medium. The projected inflow area is formed by the front opening of the inlet body. The device can be turned "partially" out of the flow of the medium, for example the wind, which leads to a corresponding reduction in the inflow area; from the "view of the medium" the front opening of the inlet body is correspondingly reduced according to the scope of the pivoting movement or in the opposite case : enlarged. At the same time, the performance of the device can be regulated, since the projected inflow area of the medium is reduced or increased. The device can also be turned entirely out of the flow of the medium, for example entirely out of the wind; then the system is basically at a standstill. If it is turned completely into the flow, e.g. into the wind, then in principle the entire energy of the flow of the medium is available.

The pivoting of the device from a given angular position into another angular position is important for an optimal use of the prevailing flow energy.

The pivoting-in angle is preferably corrected permanently as a result of the changing flow conditions of the medium in question. As a result, better use of the prevailing flow energy is possible. Unlike the sluggish, wing accommodating conventional wind turbines, a quick response to changing flow conditions is always possible with the present invention due to its different conception, which leads to a significant increase in efficiency compared to conventional wind turbines and their energy transformation.

Pivoting the device into an angular position also leads to an advantageous smoothing of the flow energy. This results in smaller energy peaks, e.g. smaller current peaks, at the at least one generator, which therefore do not have to be "capped" in an energy-losing manner, as is the case with conventional wind turbine systems.

This results in a higher energy yield derived from the original flow energy, e.g. electricity yield, and therefore also better efficiency.

Since several generators are preferably used, individual generators can be switched on or off depending on the energy requirement, e.g. electricity requirement, by swiveling the device. This means optimal utilization of the prevailing flow energy.

It should also be mentioned that the rapid pivoting of the device serves to protect parts of the device from damage or even destruction.

The device can be pivoted in various ways, with a combination of the pivoting movements being possible. The device can be pivoted centrally about a vertical axis. Furthermore, their pivoting can be done eccentrically about a vertical axis. Finally, pivoting can take place about an axis in space.

The angle of attack of the medium or fluid, which is influenced by pivoting the device, and its regulation have a direct influence on the rotational speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure, ie, for example, the converter wheel, and the turbine wheel. The influence on the outer housing of the overall profile part leads to a negative pressure on the device for generating additional negative pressure and thus influences the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure due to the recoil behavior explained above. The profile part is designed in such a way that a negative pressure is created in the area of the device for generating additional negative pressure due to the axial flow (similar to an airfoil). This negative pressure causes the medium located in the device for generating additional negative pressure, for example air, to flow outwards from the center of the device for generating additional negative pressure flows and flows out through guide vanes of the device for generating additional vacuum against the direction of rotation and thus causes a recoil that sets the device for generating additional vacuum in rotation, which can also be referred to as momentum. If the device for generating additional negative pressure, for example the converter wheel, is also driven, power is required, which is returned for the most part by the recoil; only the power that arises from friction losses has to be applied.

The consequence of this is that when the device is pivoted in the direction of flow of the medium in question, the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure is increased. This simultaneously increases the pressure in front of the turbine wheel, which in turn increases the inflow speed to the turbine. This in turn leads to an increase in turbine power, which consequently increases the output of the at least one generator, which is connected to the turbine wheel via the turbine shaft.

If, on the other hand, the device is pivoted out of the direction of flow of the medium in question, the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure is reduced in accordance with the extent of the pivoting movement. At the same time, the pressure in front of the turbine wheel is reduced, which also reduces the inflow speed to the turbine. This in turn leads to a reduction in turbine power, which consequently minimizes the output of the at least one generator, which is connected to the turbine wheel via the turbine shaft.

Thus, the pivotability of the device according to the invention in or out of the direction of flow of the fluid in question is a preferred aspect of the present invention.

Design of the device for generating additional negative pressure:

In another variant of the invention, a further increase in efficiency of the device in comparison to the generic converter wheel according to patent application DE 10 2010 024 621 A1 is achieved with a constructive configuration of the device for generating additional negative pressure.

It is particularly advantageous if the described pivotability of the device in or out of the direction of flow of the medium in question is combined with the variant described below: The device for generating additional negative pressure is provided with the adjective "additional" to delimit the negative pressure that is already present in the device according to the invention due to the outer housing, see just above, because the device, as a result of the rotation of its rotatable parts, produces an independent negative pressure compared to this existing negative pressure. therefore generates additional negative pressure. "Generate" means in particular "intensify". "Generate" in this sense also means "influence", which can be accompanied by a controllable reduction of the additional negative pressure, if, for example, if the flow of the medium is too great, this device in their turning behavior is slowed down. The negative pressure present in the device can also be additionally increased if a separate drive is used; the negative pressure present in the device can be increased independently without a drive being used due to the energy stored in the device or in a separate storage medium, which is related to the so-called centrifugal mass of the device. The invention manages without compression of the medium. Incineration is also not necessary.

The device for generating additional negative pressure, for example the converter wheel, is then rotatably arranged in the above-mentioned inlet body of the overall profile part of the device in accordance with the following explanations. It has a front mold disk that does not rotate when viewed in the inflow direction of the medium in question. This shaped disk preferably extends outwards in an arc from the longitudinal axis of the device for generating additional negative pressure, with the arcuate profile particularly preferably flattening out more and more in the outward direction. Instead of such an arcuate course, the molded part can also assume a corresponding cascade or stepped course. At a distance from this front mold part, the device for generating additional negative pressure, i.e. for example the converter wheel, has a rear mold disc which is rotatable as seen in the inflow direction of the relevant fluid.

The ducts and baffles as well as the inner inlet duct are arranged in a manner known per se between this front non-rotating shaped disk and the rear rotating circular disk. The blade ring, the bearing for the turbine wheel and the receiving bearing for the bearing flange for the device for generating additional negative pressure are also arranged in this area. These components are described above in connection with FIGS. 0-4a and 0-4b for patent application DE 10 2010 024 621 A1, to which reference is hereby made.

However, it is essential for this variant of the invention that the front mold disc of the device for generating additional negative pressure is non-rotating and that it has at least one opening, advantageously a plurality of openings, beyond the inner inlet channel, which allows the medium in question to flow into the area between the non-spinning allow the channels arranged in the front mold disc and the rotatable rear circular disc to flow, i.e. "let them through". Because this is an opening that is functionally different from the inner inlet channel, it is referred to as a "further passage".

These further passages can be arranged in a ring shape on the outer edge of the non-rotating shaped disc or in a star shape like a chandelier hanging along its arc-shaped course or have a combination of these or any regular or irregular arrangement. Also conceivable are one or more slit-like or channel-shaped or otherwise elongate passages or passages, which continue or continue from the inner inlet channel in the direction of the outer circumference of the non-rotating shaped disk.

The at least one further passage is suitable, by virtue of its arrangement or configuration in or on the non-rotating shaped disk of the device for generating additional negative pressure, for either accelerating or decelerating the rotatable parts of the device for generating additional negative pressure.

When the rotatable parts of the device are rotated, for example by the drive motor or by an existing flow, to generate additional negative pressure in the direction of rotation, a medium in the channels of this device experiences a centrifugal force due to the rotary movement at a speed "n"; this centrifugal force is determined by the peripheral speed at the radius and the mass of the fluid. The centrifugal force pushes the medium in the channels outwards. The medium is deflected by a curvature of the channels against the direction of rotation and, after the curvature, experiences kinetic energy by means of which it is the device for generating additional negative pressure This creates a recoil with the same energy. This energy helps to drive the device to generate additional negative pressure. During the process explained, an additional negative pressure is created in the device, which, due to the lower external atmospheric pressure, causes the medium in front of the device to accelerate. With regard to the physical processes, reference is additionally made to the statements on the generic prior art.

Depending on the speed of the rotational movement of the rotatable parts of the device for generating additional negative pressure, the medium or fluid is fed through the inner inlet channel, for example an annular channel, and - in relation to the inner inlet channel - through the aforementioned at least one further passage of the device for generating additional negative pressure supplied in the appropriate flow rate. When the rotatable parts of the device for generating additional vacuum rotate, the medium or fluid that has flowed into the channels of the device for generating additional vacuum is pressed outwards, which is why in the area of the turbine wheel, which is rotatably arranged in the inner inlet channel of the device for generating additional vacuum is, a depression arises. The consequence of this is that the medium flows out of the inlet body of the overall profile part or from a supply channel arranged in it through the channels formed between the guide vane parts of the molded part arranged there because of the negative pressure mentioned and because of the atmospheric pressure prevailing in the inlet body or in the supply channel in the direction of flows over the blade parts of the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is set in rotation and transmits its rotation via the turbine shaft to the generator, which generates energy corresponding to the rotation.

The above-mentioned at least one further passage in the non-rotating front shaped disk preferably already contributes by its design to a further increase in the vacuum and thus already an increase in the speed of the rotatable converter wheel and thus in turn an increase in the flow speed, and therefore also of the flow energy in comparison to an embodiment in which the non-rotating mold disk of the device for generating additional negative pressure has only an inner inlet channel.

The effect of the at least one further passage in the non-rotating front shaping disk of the device for generating additional negative pressure can be increased in that it has a configuration that deflects the medium in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure. Such a configuration can be, for example, a blade part protruding into or out of the passage, a corresponding projection, a corresponding bulge, an additional perforation, an oblique punching of the passage in the material of the shaped disc. As a result, the medium impinging on the non-rotating pattern disk accelerates the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure by partially deflecting the medium into the mentioned channels of the device for generating additional negative pressure in its direction of rotation.

The at least one further passage can also be regulated. The type of regulation is possible in various ways. Hydraulic, purely mechanical or electronic measures or a combination of these can be considered. For example, a control flap or a slide arrangement or screen is in the at least one further passage the non-rotating mold disc of the device for generating additional negative pressure possible.

Conversely, if desired, the effect of the at least one further passageway in the non-rotating front mold disk of the additional vacuum generating device can be reduced, i.e. braked, by having a configuration that deflects the medium against the direction of rotation of the additional vacuum generating device. Such a configuration can be, for example, a blade part protruding into or out of the passage, a corresponding projection, a corresponding bead, an additional perforation, an oblique punching of the opening in the material of the shaped disc. As a result, the medium impinging on the non-rotating form disk slows the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure by partially deflecting the medium into the mentioned channels of the device for generating additional negative pressure counter to the direction of rotation.

The accelerating inflow of the medium in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure and the decelerating inflow of the medium counter to the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure can also be carried out alternately. For this purpose, it is advisable to provide at least two further passages in the non-rotating shaped disk of the device for generating additional negative pressure, which can be arranged, for example, spatially offset on the shaped disk running outwards in an arc from the longitudinal axis of the device for generating additional negative pressure. One of these at least two further passages is then used for acceleration, while the other is used for braking. It is particularly advantageous if several further passages are arranged for the acceleration and for the braking, which are each arranged at the same distance from one another, which leads to an advantageous synchronization of the acceleration or braking process. It is very particularly preferred to provide these further passages provided for the alternating acceleration or braking process in a ring shape in the non-rotating shaped disk of the device for generating additional negative pressure. Also suitable are two ring-shaped passages having transverse webs.

The alternating function of the further passages provided for the acceleration or braking process in the non-rotating shaped disc of the device for generating additional negative pressure can be selected by any suitable mechanical and/or electronic control, e.g. by a slide arrangement closing or opening the passages, by adjustable Slats, control caps, screens.

Design of the inlet body with media supply line: In a further embodiment of the invention that can be combined with one or both of the above variants of the invention, the arrangement of the device for generating additional negative pressure interacts with at least one media supply line in the inlet body of the device, which carries the relevant medium of the device for generating additional negative pressure in its Direction of rotation and / or feeds against the direction of rotation.

The way in which the medium is fed into the device for generating additional negative pressure can be any construction available to a person skilled in the art. However, this is particularly advantageous if the at least one media supply line feeds the relevant medium to the device for generating additional negative pressure via its at least one further passage in the non-rotating shaped disk in the direction of rotation and/or counter to the direction of rotation of the device.

Such an embodiment can also be combined with that variant of the invention which includes the above-described pivotability of the device.

The at least one media supply line runs from the front opening of the inlet body and/or from an outer inflow hood arranged on the inlet body in the direction of the non-rotating shaped disk of the device for generating additional negative pressure. The inlet body preferably contains at least one outer inflow scoop, through which the medium can flow into the at least one media supply line.

If the end of the at least one media supply line facing away from the front opening of the inlet body points in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure, then this is the position of the media supply line that contributes to an acceleration of the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure when the medium in question has passed through the media supply line of the device for generating additional negative pressure is fed in the direction of rotation.

If the end of the at least one media supply line facing away from the front opening of the inlet body points against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure, this is the position of the media supply line that contributes to braking the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure when the medium in question is fed through the media supply line of the device for generating additional negative pressure against the direction of rotation. It is preferred that the inlet body has at least one medium feed line each, which feeds the relevant medium to the device for generating additional negative pressure in its direction of rotation and against its direction of rotation, so that the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure depends on the situation of the flow conditions of the medium can be accelerated or decelerated by the medium in question being fed through the media supply line of the device for generating additional negative pressure in or against the direction of rotation. This can be accomplished by appropriate regulation. It is particularly preferred if the inlet body has more than two media feed lines, in particular four or, more preferably, six or, very preferably, eight media feed lines, which point in and against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure. A different number of media supply lines can also be provided.

If, in addition, a plurality of media supply lines are used for the accelerating speed and/or for the decelerating speed, it is advantageous if these are arranged at the same distance from one another, with a ring-shaped arrangement for a uniform speed or for a uniform speed profile of the device for Generation of additional negative pressure is particularly preferred. In particular, the last-mentioned configuration makes it possible, for example, to place the media supply lines that are intended to contribute to an accelerating speed in an outer ring arrangement, while the media supply lines that are intended to contribute to a braking speed are provided in an inner ring arrangement. Of course, the arrangement can also be reversed.

Instead of such different ring arrangements of the media supply lines, it is also possible to alternately arrange the media supply lines for the accelerating speed or for the decelerated speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure, for which, for example, a single ring arrangement of the media supply lines would be sufficient.

If a central feed channel is additionally provided in the inlet body in accordance with the prior art that forms the generic type and is described in relation to Figs of the device for generating additional negative pressure, for example, those media supply lines that contribute to an accelerating speed can be arranged in a ring outside of the central supply channel, i.e. in the outer area of the inflow channel, while those media supply lines that contribute to a decelerated speed run inside the central supply channel , thus in the inner area of the Inflow channel be arranged. A reverse arrangement is of course also possible.

The media supply lines are advantageously fixed as such, i.e. the individual media supply line cannot be moved in an accelerating or braking inflow direction. But the latter is possible.

In all of the aforementioned arrangements of the media supply lines, the spatial arrangement of the at least one further passage in the non-rotatable shaped disk of the device for generating additional negative pressure expediently follows that arrangement of the associated media supply line.

The constructive and material design of the media supply line is at the discretion of the person skilled in the art. It can be made dependent on the basic climatic conditions of the respective region in which the device is to be used. It can vary, depending on whether air, exhaust gas, water, oil or the like is to be used as the medium. With regard to its geometric configuration, it can have a tubular cross section. This cross-section can have any shape, e.g. cylindrical, oval, square, polygonal and many more. The design can be rigid or have rigid structures; however, it can also be flexible, i.e. have elastic structures, and therefore be tubular, or have a combination of these structures.

The functional connection of the end of the at least one media supply line facing away from the front opening of the inlet body to the non-rotating shaped disk can also be effected in various ways. For example, the media supply line can open out into the non-rotating shaped disk and form a unit with it. Another possibility is that the media supply line first opens into an annular channel and then through one or more bends into the non-rotating shaped disk. It is also possible to end the media supply line close to the contact in front of the non-rotating form disk. It is preferable to arrange the medium supply line, which causes the accelerating speed of the rotatable parts of the device for generating additional negative pressure, so that it meets the further passage which, qua its design or arrangement, in turn contributes to the accelerating effect of the device for generating additional negative pressure . Conversely, it is preferred to arrange the medium supply line, which causes the braking speed of the rotatable parts of the device for generating additional negative pressure, so that it meets the other passage which, qua its design or arrangement, in turn has the braking effect of the device for generating additional negative pressure contributes. In this context, it is further preferred that the at least one medium supply line can be regulated with regard to the intake, quantity and forwarding of the medium, so that the flow conditions of the medium prevailing at the location where this device is used can be taken into account. In this context, it is equally preferred that the at least one further passage in the non-rotating shaped disc of the device for generating additional negative pressure can be regulated with regard to the intake, quantity and forwarding of the medium, so that the respective on-site use of this device prevailing flow conditions of the medium can be taken into account. A combination of regulations at the locations mentioned is also possible.

The type of regulation is possible in various ways. Hydraulic, purely mechanical or electronic measures or a combination of these can be considered. For example, control flaps in the media supply line or a slide arrangement or screen are possible in the at least one further passage in the non-rotating shaped disk of the device for generating additional negative pressure. Furthermore, for example rotary valves, rotary slides, throttle valves or the like come into consideration. The variations that can be considered in this respect are of secondary importance for the present invention. For the sake of simplifying the illustration, control flaps that can be used in the media supply lines should be spoken of as representative of all these variations. The respective control flap can be arranged at different positions of the media supply line or even in the non-rotating mold disk.

Consequently, an essential aspect is that the at least one medium supply line has a control valve which is designed to control the mass of the medium flowing in. This is preferably done in that all or some of the control flaps can be fully or partially opened and fully or partially closed. The selection of the control flaps in question and/or the complete, partial opening and closing of the control flaps can preferably be carried out by PID control. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is advantageous because continuously modulated control of the control flaps increases the efficiency of the device according to the invention. PID controllers make it possible to continuously calculate the actual valve position as the difference between a desired setpoint and a measured process variable and apply a correction based on proportional, integral and derivative principles. PID controllers are standard controllers that are frequently used and are industrial standards in many areas, and are therefore known in detail to those skilled in the art, so that there is no need to go into more detail here within the scope of the present description. It should be noted that the expert is not limited to this type of controller and can choose any suitable regulator variant, as long as it is only able to carry out the above-mentioned opening and closing of the control flaps.

As explained, it is important for the control and regulation of the device for the optimal use of flow energy from water power and wind power or other flowing media in this embodiment of the invention, whether the media supply lines in the inflow channel of the inlet body in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure, For example, the converter wheel, or against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional vacuum, such as the converter wheel, are arranged.

The effects of these arrangements and the inflow of the medium specified by them in connection with the control flap control are explained below, with the general rule for the combination of the above-mentioned embodiment, which has at least one medium supply line and at least one further passage, being the following:

• at least one media supply line is provided,

• the at least one media supply line is arranged within the inflow channel of the inlet body;

• it is arranged in such a way that it points "in the direction of rotation" or "against the direction of rotation" of the device for generating additional negative pressure, for example the converter wheel;

• "in the direction of rotation" is an arrangement in which an acceleration of the rotational speed of the rotatable parts of the device for generating additional negative pressure is made possible as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective medium supply line towards the device for generating additional negative pressure;

• "Counter to the direction of rotation" is an arrangement in which braking of the rotational speed of the rotatable parts of the device for generating additional negative pressure is made possible as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line towards the device for generating additional negative pressure; which is at least one medium supply line provided with a control flap which can be brought into an open ("open") position and into a closed ("closed") position or into an intermediate position thereof; • Depending on whether the media supply line "in the direction of rotation" or "against the direction of rotation" of the device for generating additional vacuum, for example the converter wheel, and whether the control flap is in an open position ("open") or in a is placed in the closed ("closed") position or in an intermediate position thereof, the speed and/or the torque of the device for generating additional vacuum are influenced by either accelerating or decelerating the speed of its rotatable parts;

• A speed change of the device for generating additional vacuum has a direct influence on the speed and the torque, hence the power of the turbine wheel;

• if two media supply lines are provided, it is advantageous if one of them shows "in the direction of rotation" and the other "against the direction of rotation" of the device for generating additional negative pressure;

• If more than two media supply lines are provided, they can be arranged in any spatial-geometric manner within the inflow channel of the inlet body, e.g. in an X-shaped arrangement, U-shaped arrangement, circular arrangement or in a double-circular arrangement with an inner and an outer one Area; For the sake of a uniform presentation, the latter arrangement is to be assumed below, without a restriction to this being assumed here.

In the following arrangement, the control flaps and media supply lines are arranged in an outer and/or inner area within the inflow channel of the inlet body in such a way that the media supply lines point in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure:

• "In the direction of rotation" is an arrangement in which an acceleration of the speed of the additional vacuum generating device is enabled as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective medium supply line towards the additional negative pressure generating device. The rotational speed and the torque of the generating device additional negative pressure are influenced - in addition to the material composition of the medium flowing through the media supply lines - by the extent of the open position (“open”) and closed position (“closed”) of the control flaps. • Control flaps 'open' means more recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means more torque with higher rpm and therefore more power; Control flaps "closed" means less recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means less torque at low rpm and therefore less power.

• Changing the speed and/or torque of the device for generating additional vacuum also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel. The control flaps in the "open" position lead to an increase in pressure at the turbine wheel, i.e. more torque with a higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps in the "closed" position causes a reduction in pressure on the turbine wheel, which means less torque at lower speeds and thus less power.

In the following arrangement, the control flaps and media supply lines are arranged in an outer and/or inner area within the inflow channel of the inlet body in such a way that the media supply lines point against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure:

• "Against the direction of rotation" is an arrangement in which braking of the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line to the device for generating additional negative pressure is made possible. The speed and torque of the device for Generation of additional negative pressure are influenced - in addition to the material composition of the medium flowing through the media supply lines - by the extent of the open position (“open”) and closed position (“closed”) of the control flaps.

• Control flaps 'open' means that the converter wheel is braked, which in turn means less torque at lower revs and therefore less power; Control flaps "closed" means normal recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means normal torque with the corresponding speed and thus normal power.

• Changing the speed and/or torque of the device for generating additional vacuum also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel. The control flaps in the "closed" position leads to an increase in pressure at the turbine wheel, ie more torque higher speed is due to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps in the "open" position causes a reduction in pressure on the turbine wheel, which means less torque at lower speeds and therefore less power.

In the following arrangement, the control flaps and media supply lines are arranged in a combined manner in an outer and inner area within the inflow channel of the inlet body, such that the media supply lines in the inner area ("inside") point in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure, while the Media supply lines in the outer area ("outside") show against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure:

• "In the direction of rotation" is an arrangement in which an acceleration of the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure is made possible as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective medium supply line towards the device for generating additional negative pressure; "counter to the direction of rotation" is an arrangement in which in which braking of the rotational speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line towards the device for generating additional negative pressure is made possible. The speed and the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure are influenced by the extent of the open position (“open”) and closed position (“closed”) of the control flaps, in addition to the material composition of the medium flowing through the media supply lines.

• Control flaps "open" with the media supply lines "inside" in the direction of rotation means higher recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means more torque with higher speed and thus more power; control flaps "closed" with the media supply lines "inside" in the direction of rotation mean less recoil at the converter wheel , which in turn means less low-rpm torque and therefore less power.

• Changing the speed and/or the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure in the "internal" media supply lines in the direction of rotation also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel. The control flaps in the "open" position lead to an increase in pressure at the turbine wheel, i.e. more torque at a higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps in the "closed" position cause a pressure reduction at the turbine wheel, which means less torque at a lower speed and thus less power. • Control flaps "open" with the media supply lines "outside" against the direction of rotation means that the converter wheel is braked, which in turn means less torque with lower speed and thus less power; control flaps "closed" with the media supply lines "outside" against the direction of rotation means one normal recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means normal torque with the corresponding speed and thus normal power.

• Changing the speed and / or the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure in the media supply lines "outside" against the direction of rotation also has a direct influence on the speed and the r-

Turbine wheel torque. The control flaps in the "closed" position leads to an increase in pressure on the turbine wheel, i.e. more torque with higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps in the "open" position causes a pressure reduction on the turbine wheel, which results in less torque with a lower speed and therefore less power.

The aforementioned combination can of course also be arranged inversely, such that the media lines "inside" point against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure, while the media lines "outside" point in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure.

• Control flaps "open" with the media supply lines "inside" against the direction of rotation means that the converter wheel is braked, which in turn means less torque with a lower speed and thus less power; control flaps "closed" with the media supply lines "inside" against the direction of rotation mean one normal Recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means normal torque with corresponding speed and therefore normal power.

• Changing the speed and/or the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure in the media supply lines "inside" against the direction of rotation also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel. The control flaps in the "closed" position leads to an increase in pressure on the turbine wheel, i.e. more torque with higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps in the "open" position causes a pressure reduction on the turbine wheel, which results in less torque with a lower speed and therefore less power.

• Control flaps "open" with the media supply lines "outside" in the direction of rotation means higher recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means more torque with higher speed and thus more power; control flaps "closed" with the media supply lines "outside" in the direction of rotation mean less recoil at the converter wheel , which in turn means less low-rpm torque and therefore less power.

• Changing the speed and/or the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure in the “outside” media supply lines in the direction of rotation also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel. The control flaps in the "open" position lead to an increase in pressure at the turbine wheel, i.e. more torque with a higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps in the "closed" position causes a reduction in pressure on the turbine wheel, which means less torque at lower speeds and therefore less power.

Furthermore, media supply lines can be provided, for example in an outer or inner ring arrangement, which (in connection with control flaps) lead to an inflow of the medium in or against - or: alternately in and against - the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure and thus to an externally braking or internally accelerating or internally braking or externally accelerating effect of the inflow of the medium and thus the speed of the device to generate additional negative pressure. The mode of action results from the above explanations.

The device according to the invention can be operated in terms of energy completely self-sufficient in all variants and embodiments described above, which as a preferred embodiment of the invention can be considered. For this purpose, the device is connected to a device for generating and transmitting energy, preferably via a line that is guided inside the mast into the overall profile part, where this line is connected to the drive motor of the device for generating additional negative pressure. This device for obtaining and forwarding energy is preferably one for obtaining and forwarding solar energy, which can be a photovoltaic system, a sun mirror system or a similar system. If water or wave energy is used as the medium, it can be a device that can be used in this technical area for the generation and transmission of energy. The same applies to all medium-specific devices for generating and forwarding energy.

Furthermore, according to all variants described above, the device is preferably connected to at least one or more devices for storing and supplying electrical energy. This can be at least one so-called power station, at least one rechargeable battery, at least one rechargeable battery pack or the like. If several such devices are functionally connected to one another, this can be done by means of a line. The at least one device for storing and supplying electrical energy is connected to the generator arranged in the overall profile part, for example via a line running partially in the mast; through this connection, the (electrical) energy generated by the generator can be stored in the device for storing and supplying electric energy; any consumer can be supplied with (electrical) energy in this way. Furthermore, the device for storing and supplying electrical energy can also be connected in the manner described above to the generator assigned to the device for generating additional negative pressure; this makes it possible that when only an energy input takes place via the device for generating additional vacuum, e.g. the converter wheel, and its generator - for example because the energy input via the turbine wheel and its generator is switched off - the device for storing and supplying electrical energy is fed via the rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure alone. In addition, the device for generating and transmitting energy can be connected via a line directly to the device for storing and supplying electrical energy, so that the latter can also be supplied with energy via the device in addition to or instead of the energy generated via the turbine wheel and the generator can be supplied. Equally, it is possible through conventional control to ensure an energy input into the device for storing and supplying electrical energy via the device for generating additional negative pressure, for example the converter wheel, and its associated generator. The configuration thus allows multifunctional operation of the device according to the invention, the existing or can plan for expected environmental conditions or climatic conditions. If the medium is wind, for example, and there is calm or weak wind, the device for generating additional negative pressure, e.g. the converter wheel, e.g. via the at least one device for generating and forwarding energy and the energy emitted by this or via this to the drive motor of the device for generating additional negative pressure can be set in rotation, so that the negative pressure generated by the device for generating additional negative pressure can cause the turbine wheel to rotate and the energy generated by this via the generator in any case partly goes back to the device for storing and supplying can be supplied with electrical energy; further, it is possible that even in such a case of no wind or light wind, sufficient wind flow is generated in this way by generating the negative pressure to use it for generating power; or it is possible to swivel the device out of it completely or partially when the flow of the medium is too great, as explained, and nevertheless retain the function of generating energy, of using already stored energy. The same also applies to weak wind, which can be optimally used in this way, which is made possible, for example, by the fact that the device for generating additional negative pressure can be used intermittently, adapted to the weak wind.

The device according to the invention is particularly advantageous in all of the variants and embodiments described if it is provided in the area of the front opening or in front of the turbine wheel or in front of the device for generating additional negative pressure - seen in the direction of flow - with a - preferably replaceable - grating, net, sieve, or provided with a mat with openings or the like. In this way, dirt particles, insects or other undesirable substances in the medium can be filtered out. This not only ensures a cleaner medium, but also generally prevents such particles from clogging or damaging the components of the device or from birds getting into the inlet body.

It is pointed out that the present device 1 can be installed in different positions, depending on requirements. The longitudinal axis of the energy converter 1 can preferably be aligned vertically or horizontally.

Fig. 1, Fig. La, Fig.lb show the basic structure of an energy converter, as it is the basis of the present invention. 1, FIG. 1a, FIG. 1b apply in principle to all subsequent exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 2 to 26, so that in their detailed discussion, to avoid repetition, this basic structure will not be referred to again in detail. Insofar as components from the generic prior art are known in FIGS. 1, 1a and 1b, reference is made to this.

The device 1 therefore comprises an overall profile part 112 with a profile part 113 and a profile part 114, which are designed as conical or conical housings, see only Fig. 1b, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 6, Fig. 8 , Fig. 9, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 17, Fig. 18, Fig. 20, Fig. 21, Fig. 23, Fig. 24.

The profile part 113 extends towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, i.e. the converter wheel 50. Furthermore, the overall profile part 112 comprises a =; further profile part 114, which, starting from the converter wheel 50, leads to the side facing away from the profile part 113 and at the same time serves to cover the generator and the drive space. The overall profile part 112 is arranged coaxially to the longitudinal axis, which preferably runs horizontally, or to the center 47 of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 . The embodiment of the energy converter shown in FIG. 1a, FIG. 1b rests on a mast 123. This is known.

Fig. 1, Fig. 4, Fig. 7, Fig. 10, Fig. 13, Fig. 16, Fig. 19, Fig. 22 show the pivoting function of the device 1. The power of the energy converter is also regulated with the pivoting function, since the projected opening 101 of the profile part 113 for the inflow 110 of the medium is either enlarged or reduced. If the overall profile part 112 is pivoted completely out of the inflow 110, the system stops unless the drive motor 57 (known per se), described below, rotates the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 and thus a flow of the medium which is independent of the predetermined inflow 110 and of the turbine wheel 80 and is caused by negative pressure. The pivotability of the entire profile part 112 consequently influences the angle of attack of the medium flowing into the interior of the profile part 113 . The pivoting directions in the figures mentioned are included indicated by the reference numerals 110a, 110b and 110c. 110a means: pivoting the device centrally about a vertical axis, 110b means: pivoting the device eccentrically about a vertical axis; 110c means: Pivoting the device around an axis in space.

The main function of pivoting enables the device 1 to pivot quickly in or out of the direction of flow 110. Various secondary functions are linked to it, namely: pivoting the energy converter at an angle ensures optimal use of the prevailing flow energy; the pivoting angle is corrected continuously, which enables better use of the prevailing flow energy; the associated smoothing of the flow energy causes smaller current peaks at the generators, which therefore do not have to be "cut"; this in turn means a higher electricity yield, and thus also better efficiency; since several generators can be used, it is possible that individual generators are switched on or off depending on the power requirement as a result of the swiveling of the energy converter; this also means optimal utilization of the prevailing flow energy; Furthermore, the ability to pivot serves to protect against destruction of parts of the device 1.

The inflow angle and its regulation already have a direct influence on the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 and the turbine wheel 80 and also on the torque of both. With the invention, a set of instruments is consequently created by the pivotable configuration of the device for regulating the speed and torque of the converter wheel and turbine wheel. The pivoting can be carried out in any manner known per se, especially by an electric motor. The flow 106 of the overall profile part 112 through the medium in question, e.g. through wind from the wind direction 105, as shown in Fig. La and Fig. 1b, leads to negative pressure on (in) the converter wheel 50 and thus influences the speed of the device to generate additional negative pressure 50 as a result of the recoil described in more detail below. The consequence of this is that - viewed from the direction of flow - the pressure in front of the turbine wheel 80 is increased, thus increasing the inflow speed to the turbine wheel, i.e. power control is possible via the pivotability.

The overall profile part 112 is a flow-optimized molded part that is profiled in such a way that the flow 106 is accelerated at the profile contour, with a negative pressure being produced on the upper side of the overall profile part 112, as is known, similar to the airfoil profile of an aircraft. The profile part 112 is designed in such a way that the axial flow creates a negative pressure in the area of the converter wheel 50 (similar to a wing). This negative pressure causes the medium in the converter wheel 50, e.g. air, to flow outwards from the center of the converter wheel and out through guide vanes of the converter wheel 50 against the direction of rotation, thus causing a recoil that causes the converter wheel to rotate (pulse set). So the negative pressure continues inside the converter wheel and also in the area after the turbine wheel. The area 113 in front of the turbine wheel is immediately "compensated" by the external pressure 62.

An outer and optional profile ring 115 attached centrally to the overall profile part 112 experiences a flow 108 around it on its outside and a flow around it 107 on its inside, which is known. The flow around 107 amplifies the flow 106 and thus increases its speed. The flows around 106, 107, 108 all lead in the direction of the "outgoing" wind flow 111. The wind direction of the inflowing wind flow is denoted by 105. The flow 106 with the increased speed entrains the air flowing out of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 and accelerates it thus the outflow 109 at the converter wheel 50. This in turn causes a negative pressure in the converter wheel 50 and thus a further increase in the pressure difference after the turbine wheel 80. As a result, the inflow velocity 110 at the pipe part 100 is increased.

The outflow 109 at the modifier wheel 50 causes a recoil at the modifier wheel 50, as discussed above, and causes the modifier wheel 50 to rotate. This energy can B. via a gear 117 an additional generator 116 and converted into electrical energy. The medium enters the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, for example the converter wheel 50, through the at least one further passage 51 of the non-rotating shaped disk 51c; In Fig. 1a, Fig. 1b, several further passages 51 are shown in an approximately annular arrangement.

The following applies to all of the exemplary embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 26 with regard to the direction of rotation: The direction of rotation 50a marked in the figures of the device for generating additional vacuum 50, for example the converter wheel 50, is shown turning to the left as seen from the front. If the converter wheel is a mirror image, the direction of rotation is clockwise as seen from the front. In this case, all necessary components are also executed in mirror image. In this case, the mode of operation, as described, is retained. Ie accelerating remains accelerating and braking remains braking. If these parts are not executed as a mirror image, the mode of operation changes, ie accelerating becomes braking and braking becomes accelerating. As is known, the embodiment of the device shown in Fig. 1, Fig. Converter wheel 50, and for generating the energy, and therefore the turbine wheel

record 80 The profile part 114 accommodates further functional components, such as at least one generator 85, which is connected via a turbine shaft 81 to the turbine wheel 80, which is arranged, for example, in the housing of the profile part 113, Fig. 0-3, Fig. 1. The kinetic energy of the Turbine wheel 80 is transmitted to the turbine shaft 81 with high efficiency. For example, the high speed of the turbine shaft

81 is reduced via a gear 82, with the corresponding torque being increased. The gearbox 82 is connected to the input of the generator 85 . Furthermore, the profile part 114 contains the drive motor 57 for the converter wheel 50 and an additional generator 116 connected to it via a gear 117. The rotation of the drive motor 57 is transmitted to the converter wheel 50 by means that are at the discretion of a person skilled in the art. The device for generating additional negative pressure 50 is arranged downstream of the turbine wheel 80, viewed in the inflow direction 110 of the relevant medium. This embodiment shown can also be used as a so-called pumped-storage plant. The additional power required does not have to be generated exclusively by the power plant operators. The converter wheel 50 and the turbine wheel denoted by 80 are rotatably mounted, with the turbine wheel 80 being connected to a turbine shaft 81 in a torque-proof manner. On the side of the turbine shaft 81 opposite the turbine wheel 80 , a generator 85 is mounted in a torque-proof manner on the turbine shaft 81 and generates electrical energy when the turbine shaft 81 rotates.

All these functional parts can also be located inside the mast 123 or elsewhere.

The profile part 113 can accommodate a pipe part 100 serving as a supply channel; through the front opening 101 of the profile part 113 (see. Fig. 1, Fig. lb), which is also the opening of the supply channel 100, the medium in question can flow into the interior of the supply channel up to the turbine wheel 80, which is at the end of the front Opening 101 remote side connects to the supply channel, which is known; the inflow direction is identified by the reference number 110, FIG. 1, FIG. 1a, FIG. 1b.

However, such a pipe part 100 serving as a supply channel is only one option, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1b. The present invention can dispense with such a supply channel due to the media supply line described further below. All of the exemplary embodiments shown in FIG. 1, FIG related to overload. However, it should be emphasized that they could each have such a feed channel. The difference between the presence and non-existence of a supply channel is, among other things, that the volume flow 40 (cf. Fig. 27b) of the relevant medium, which is also symbolized by its inflow direction marked with the reference number 110, in the case of the presence of the supply channel 100 flows through this to the turbine wheel 80 and also via the annular channel 41 (cf. Fig. 27b) to the converter wheel 50, while the volume flow 40 of the relevant medium flows through the front opening 101 of the profile part 113 in the absence of the supply channel 100 in its 1, 1a, 1b.

In the end region of the interior of the profile part 113 or the tubular part 100 facing the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 there is a—known—form part 90, FIG. 1a, FIG. 1b, which has a conically widening shape. Guide vane parts 91, spaced evenly apart from one another in the circumferential direction in the illustrated embodiment, are fastened to the end region of the conical molded part 90 facing the device for generating additional negative pressure 50

90 extending radially outwardly from Figures 0-2, 0-4; this is already known. The vane parts 91 form a vane ring. The areas 94 of the guide vane parts 91 facing away from the molded part 90 are preferably, as can be seen particularly clearly from FIGS. 0-4, opposite the axially running areas 95 of the guide vane parts

91 angled in the circumferential direction of the molding 90; the vane parts 91 are bent in the exemplary embodiment shown in such a way that they point in the direction of rotation of the turbine wheel 80 . The turbine wheel 80 , which is non-rotatably connected to the turbine shaft 81 , is located following the ring of guide vanes. The blade portions 87 of the turbine wheel 80 extend away from the mold portion 90 toward the generator 85 side and are inclined in the circumferential direction of the turbine wheel 80 opposite to the portions 94 of the guide blade portions 91 . In this way, a particularly effective rotation of the turbine wheel 80 is achieved. Fig. 0-4 shows the arrangement rotated 90° counterclockwise

While according to the generic prior art (Fig. 0-4b) the converter wheel 50 has two parallel, rotatable circular discs 51a and 51b, the present invention takes a different approach in that the converter wheel 50 still has a rotatable circular disc 51a, however, the circular disc 51a is replaced by the now non-rotating shaped disc 51c, Fig. la, Fig. lb, Fig. 27a, 27b, Fig. lb, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, 3b, Fig. 6, 6b, Fig 8, Fig. 9, 9b, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, 12b, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, 15b, Fig. 17, Fig. 18b, Fig. 20, Fig. 21b, Fig. 23, Fig 24b. 27a, 27b show structural details of the device according to the invention for generating additional negative pressure 50, for example the converter wheel 50. As already mentioned, the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, ie the converter wheel 50, is then in the aforementioned inlet body 113 of the overall Profile part 112 arranged the device. The converter wheel 50 no longer has two circular disks 51a, 51b spaced parallel to one another, cf an embodiment of which is shown in FIG. 27b. This represents an effective innovation compared to the generic state of the art, because the non-rotating property allows, among other things, the special further passages already described for accelerating or braking the device for generating additional negative pressure as well as the media supply lines including control flaps described below. The medium enters the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, for example the converter wheel 50, through the at least one further passage 51 of the non-rotating shaped disk 51c; In Fig. 1a, Fig. 1b, several further passages 51 are shown in an approximately annular arrangement. The non-rotating front mold disc 51c can either be an integral part of the inlet body 113 of the overall profile part 112 or can be fixed therein, as shown for example in FIG. 1b. This shaped disc 51c runs in an arc from the longitudinal axis of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 outwards, with the arc-shaped profile flattening out more and more in the outward direction. At a distance from this front molded part 51c, the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, ie the converter wheel 50, has a rear molded disk 51a which is rotatable when viewed in the inflow direction 110 of the medium in question, which can be seen in FIGS. 1b, 3b, 6b, c , Fig. 9b,c, Fig. 12b,c, Fig. 15b,c, Fig. 18b,c, Fig. 21b,c, Fig. 24b,c.

Between this front, non-rotating shaped disk 51c and the rear circular disk 51a are the channels 48 and baffles 44, the vane ring, the inner inlet channel 41 with bearings (not shown) for the turbine wheel 80 and the receiving bearing for the bearing flange (not shown) for the Transducer wheel 50 is arranged, as can be seen from FIGS. 27a and 27b, to which reference is hereby made. The non-rotating front mold disk 51c has the inner inlet channel 41 which can be flanged to the mold disk or which can be a fixed part of the inlet body 113 of the overall profile part 112 or fastened in this inlet body 113 . About this inlet channel 41 addition, the mold disk 51c has at least one further passage 51, advantageously a plurality of passages 51d ... 51n, (not shown in Fig.27b) the medium in question in between the non-rotating front mold disk 51c and the rotatable 1b, 3b, 6a, b, c, 9a, b, c, 12a, b, c, 15a, b, c, Fig. 18a,b,c, Fig. 21a,b,c, Fig. 24a,b,c, Fig. 25, Fig. 26b,c. In the exemplary embodiments shown, the passages 51d ... 51n are arranged approximately in the shape of a ring on the outer edge of the shaped disc 51c, Fig. 3a, c, Fig. 6c, Fig. 9a, c, Fig. 12a, c, Fig. 15a, c, Fig 18a,c, 24a,c, 25, 26b,c. and are described in more detail in the explanations for these figures.

27a shows that in the circumferential direction equally spaced channels 48 each extend radially outwards from the center 47 of the converter wheel 50 . Shortly before the outer diameter of the converter wheel 50, they have an angle of preferably approximately 90° against the direction of rotation of the converter wheel 50. The channels 48 open radially on the inside into an annular antechamber 46 which is common to them and which surrounds the annular hub part 54 of the converter wheel 50, FIG. 27a. The hub part 54 with its area facing the non-rotating shaped disk 51c also runs in an arc shape outwards from the longitudinal axis of the converter wheel 50 . This ensures a particularly good and turbulence-free flow of the medium from the antechamber 46 into the channels 48 .

The individual channels 48 are each formed by baffles 44 and 45, which in the manner shown in FIG Adjacent baffles 44 and 45 the area 43 of the channel 48 running approximately radially outwards and between the angled end areas of the baffles 44 and 45 the area 42 running at preferably a right angle to the area 43 running radially outwards is formed.

When the converter wheel 50 is rotated by the drive motor 57 (cf. Fig.0-3) or as a result of the inflow 110 of the medium, e.g. the wind in the wind direction 105, through the front opening 101 (cf. Fig. lb) into the inlet body 113 (cf. Fig. 1b, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, etc.) in the in 3a, b, 6b, 9a, b, 12a, b, 15a, b, 18a, b, 24a, b, 0-4a a medium located in the channels 48 due to the rotational movement at a speed n of a centrifugal force Fzl, Fig. 27a

This centrifugal force Fzl is also determined within the scope of the invention by the peripheral speed vl at the radius rl and the mass m of the medium. The formula for centrifugal force is:

The formula for the peripheral speed is also within the scope of the invention: vl=2-rl-Tt-n.

The centrifugal force Fzl pushes the medium in the channels 48 to the outside. At the radius r2, just before the right-angled curvature of the channels 48, the centrifugal force also applies within the scope of the invention:

The centrifugal force Fz2 accelerates the mass m of the medium to a speed v3, taking into account the friction loss. At this point, ie shortly before the curvature of the channels 48, the kinetic energy for the mass m of the medium is also within the scope of the invention:

The medium is deflected against the direction of rotation by the curvature of the channels 48 and, after the curvature, experiences a speed v4 which, because of the friction losses, is less than the speed v3. This also results in the kinetic energy within the scope of the invention:

The medium also leaves the converter wheel 50 within the scope of the invention with a kinetic energy W4. This creates a recoil with the same energy. This energy helps drive the converter wheel 50 .

During the process explained, a negative pressure is also created within the scope of the invention in the antechamber 46, which causes the atmospheric external pressure 62 to accelerate the medium in front of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 and through the inner inlet channel designated 41 (Fig. 27a, b) of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 is supplied. By increasing the speed of the the pressure difference can be increased by the drive motor 57 and/or the converter wheel 50 driven by the inflow 110 .

If the converter wheel 50 is set in rotation by the drive motor 57 and/or by the inflow 110 of the medium into the converter wheel, the medium in the manner described in connection with FIG. 27a in the channels 43 of the converter wheel 50 is also within the scope of the invention pressed outwards, which is why in the area below the turbine wheel 80, which is rotatably arranged in the inner inlet channel 41, a vacuum is created. This also has the consequence within the scope of the invention that the medium from the interior of the inlet body 113 (see FIG. lb) or from the pipe part 100 (see FIG and because of the atmospheric pressure 62 prevailing in the interior of the inlet body 113 or in the pipe part 100, it flows in the direction of the blade parts 87. The turbine wheel 80 is also set in rotation within the scope of the invention and transmits its rotation via the turbine shaft 81 to the generator 85, which generates electrical energy corresponding to the rotation.

The volume flow 40 is also deflected within the scope of the invention by the molded part 90 in such a way that an optimal pressure is exerted on the blade parts 87 of the turbine wheel 80 .

The shape, dimensions and number of channels 48 of the converter wheel 50, the converter wheel 50 and the turbine, the dimensions of the overall profile part 112, the inlet body 113, the profile part 114, the tubular part 100 and all other components of the energy converter can also be within the scope of the invention in relation to the effectiveness, location and other parameters of the energy converter 1 are determined and optimized.

The invention is particularly suitable for mounting on the roofs of high-rise buildings or the like. As can be seen, the device is preferably mounted on a mast 123 or the like.

Within the scope of the invention, the drive motor 57 can also be used to generate a specific rotational speed on the converter wheel 50 in a differentiated manner. Any known control systems can be used for this purpose. This differentiated speed affects the inflow 110 in front of the turbine wheel 80 and is used at different medium speeds, z. B. wind speeds to drive in the optimal range of the turbine wheel 80. This means that it is not necessary to adjust the guide vanes or the turbine blades. The energy of the turbine wheel 80 is fed to the generator 85 via the transmission 82, as has already been explained above.

It can also be seen from FIG. 1 that the exemplary embodiment shown there can be operated completely independently in terms of energy, which can be regarded as a preferred embodiment of the invention. For this purpose, the device 1 is connected to a device for generating and transmitting energy 125 via a line 126, which is guided inside the mast 123 into the profile part 114, where a connection of this line 126 (not shown) to the drive motor 57 of the Device for generating additional negative pressure 50 takes place. In this exemplary embodiment, this device for obtaining and forwarding energy 125 is a device for obtaining and forwarding solar energy, which can be a photovoltaic system, a sun mirror system or a similar system. If water or wave energy is used as the medium, it can be a device that can be used in this technical area for the generation and transmission of energy. The same applies to all medium-specific devices for generating and forwarding energy.

Furthermore, the device 1 is connected to at least one device for storing and supplying electrical energy 127.1, 127.2, 127...n. This can be at least one so-called power station, at least one rechargeable battery, at least one rechargeable battery pack or the like. If several devices of this type are functionally connected to one another, this can be done by means of a line 130 . The at least one device for storing and supplying electrical energy 127.1, 127.2, 127 . through this connection, the (electrical) energy generated by the generator 85 can be stored in the device for storing and supplying electric energy 127.1, 127.2, 127...n; any consumer can be supplied with (electrical) energy in this way. Furthermore, the device for storing and supplying electrical energy 127.1, 127.2, 127 . This makes it possible that when only an energy input takes place via the converter wheel 50 and its generator 116 - for example because the energy input via the turbine wheel 80 and its generator 85 is switched off - the device for storing and supplying electrical energy 127.1, 127.2 , 127... n is fed solely by the rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure. In addition, the device for obtaining and forwarding energy 125 can be connected directly to the device for storing and supplying electrical energy 127.1, 127.2, 127 . . . n via a line 129, so that the latter can also be supplied with energy via the device 125 in addition to or instead of the energy generated via the turbine wheel 80 and the generator 85 . Equally, a conventional regulation makes it possible to ensure an energy input into the device for storing and supplying electrical energy 127.1, 127.2, 127 . . . n via the converter wheel 50 and its associated generator 116. The configuration thus allows multifunctional operation of the device 1, which can take existing or expected environmental conditions or climatic conditions into account. If the medium is wind, for example, and there is about no wind, the converter wheel 50 can be set in rotation, for example via the devices 125, 127 ff and the energy emitted by them or via this to the drive motor 57, so that via the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 generated negative pressure, the turbine wheel 80 can be set in rotation and the energy generated by this via the generator 85 in any case partially again the device for storing and supplying electrical energy 127.1, 127.2, 127 ... n can be supplied; furthermore, it is possible that even in such a case of no wind, enough wind flow is generated in this way by generating the negative pressure in order to use it for power generation; or it is possible to completely or partially pivot the device 110a, 110b, 110c out of it if the flow of the medium is too great, as explained, and nevertheless retain the function of generating energy, using already stored energy. The same also applies to weak wind, which can be optimally used in this way, which is made possible, for example, by the fact that the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 can be used intermittently in an adapted manner to the weak wind.

The above-described possibility of using a device for obtaining and forwarding solar energy 125 and a device for storing and supplying electrical energy 127 is only mentioned in connection with the exemplary embodiment in FIG. However, it applies to all of the exemplary embodiments mentioned. Figures 2 to 27b; in this respect, a graphic repetition was only refrained from due to the fact that the graphic representations were overloaded.

The more detailed explanation of the configuration of the device according to the invention, according to which an interaction between the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, for example the converter wheel 50 (in the shape with a non-rotating shaped disk 51c) with at least one media supply line and a control valve, is provided below below with reference to the associated exemplary embodiments in FIGS. 2 to 27b. Example 1:

The embodiment in Fig. 2, 3, 3a, 3b and 3c shows in connection with Fig. 1 in perspective representations a device 1 with control flaps "externally accelerating", i.e. control flaps and media supply lines on the outside of the inflow channel of the inlet body, i.e. the media supply lines show in Direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure The preferred use of the "externally accelerating" arrangement is at low flow velocities and strong fluctuations in flow velocities.

The device 1 has an overall profile part 112 with its profile parts 113 and 114 .

The optional supply channel 100 is arranged inside the profile part 113 and its three-dimensional geometric position in Fig. 1, view "Z", shown in dashed lines. Its design and mode of action was explained above in the introductory part of the description of the figures, so that reference is made thereto.

In this exemplary embodiment, four outer inflow hoods 113a are arranged at the same distance from one another on the outer casing of the profile part 113, FIGS. 1, 3, 3a. They cover a material recess in the outer casing 113, FIG. 3b, which, seen in the direction of flow 110, accommodates the front end piece of four media supply lines 53, each having an inlet 53e in the media supply line and a control valve 53f each. The media supply lines are further arranged within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113; it should be pointed out that the inflow hoods 113a are optional, i.e. that the media supply lines 53 in this exemplary embodiment without inflow hoods 113a receive the medium directly through the front opening 101, Fig. 1b, in the inflow channel of the inlet body 113.

The four media supply lines 53 lead at their rear end, viewed in flow direction 110, to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional vacuum 50. The media supply lines 53 to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c are arranged on the outside and have an accelerating effect on the speed of the additional vacuum generating device 50; they are therefore specifically provided with the reference numeral 53a to delimit further media supply lines, FIG. 2, FIG. 3b.

The medium flows via the openings of the inflow hoods 113a, which are aligned with the direction of flow 110 of the medium in question, for example wind 105, the medium, passing the inlet 53e and the control flaps 53f, into the four medium supply lines 53 towards the non- rotating mold disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, Fig. 3b.

The media supply lines 53 are arranged in an outer area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Outer" area or synonymously "outside" means that the media supply lines 53 between the inner wall the inlet body 113 and the outer wall of the supply duct 100 extend towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, if such a supply duct is present; if such is not provided, these terms mean that the media supply lines 53 are arranged so far towards the inner wall of the inlet body 113 that the inlet body 113 viewed in the longitudinal direction is more central and therefore “inner” area or synonymously “inside” at least one ( further) media supply line 53b, 53d can accommodate such that the media supply lines 53 show in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure.

The arrangement of the outer media supply lines 53 "in the direction of rotation" can be seen in Fig. 3b. The end of the media supply line 53a that reaches the non-rotating form disk 51c is aligned in such a way that it rotates in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional The medium flowing through the media supply line 53a therefore hits the converter wheel in such a way that its rotation is supported by it, i.e. the speed is increased.Thus, the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 is accelerated as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line 53a to the device for generating additional negative pressure.

3b thus shows the end of the at least one media supply line 53a facing away from the front opening of the inlet body 113 in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; this is the position of the media supply line which contributes to an acceleration of the speed of the additional vacuum generating device when the relevant medium is supplied through the media supply line to the additional vacuum generating device in the direction of its rotation.

The medium passes through the four passages 51d shown in FIG. 3c in the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. It hereby reaches the channels 48 shown in FIG Shaped disc 51c are arranged and is directed outwards via the baffles 44 in a manner explained in detail above. The speed and the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure are also influenced - in addition to the material composition of the medium flowing through the media supply lines 53 - by the extent of the open position ("open") and closed position ("closed") of the control flaps 53f, shown in Figures 2 and 3b.

Control flaps 'open' means more recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means more torque at higher speeds and therefore more power; Control flaps "closed" means less recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means less torque at low rpm and therefore less power.

Changing the speed and/or the torque of the device for generating additional vacuum also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel 80. The control flaps 53f in the "open" position lead to an increase in pressure at the turbine wheel, i.e. more torque higher speed is due to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps 53f in the "closed" position cause a pressure reduction at the turbine wheel, which means less torque at lower speeds and therefore less power.

As can be seen from Fig. 3a, the converter wheel has a larger diameter than the turbine wheel 80. The latter is arranged in a known manner - viewed in the direction of flow 110 - following a molded part 90 through which the volume flow 40 of the medium also flows within the scope of the invention is deflected in such a way that an optimum pressure is exerted on the blade parts 87 of the turbine wheel 80 (not shown). The turbine wheel 80 and the molded part 90 are—seen in the flow direction 110—framed by the latter at the rear end of the supply channel 100 , if one is provided. Otherwise they are inside the profile part 113--seen in the direction of flow 110--fixed in the ring-shaped center 47 of the device for generating additional negative pressure, FIG. 3a.

Example 2:

The embodiment in Fig. 4 (in conjunction with Fig. 1) and Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 6a - c shows perspective views of an embodiment of the device 1 with control flaps "externally braking", ie the control flaps and the Media supply lines are arranged on the outside of the inflow channel of the inlet body, ie the media supply lines point against the direction of rotation of the device to generate additional negative pressure. The device 1 has an overall profile part 112 with its profile parts 113 (inlet body) and 114 .

The optional feed channel 100 is arranged in the interior of the profile part 113 and its three-dimensional geometric position is shown in dashed lines in FIG. Its configuration and mode of action was explained above in the introductory part of the description of the figures, so that reference is made thereto.

In this exemplary embodiment, four outer inflow scoops 113a are arranged at the same distance from one another on the outer casing of the inlet body 113, FIGS. 1, 4, 6a. They cover a material recess in the outer casing 113, FIG. 6b, which accommodates the front end piece, seen in the flow direction 110, of likewise four media supply lines 53, each having an inlet 53e into the media supply line and a control valve 53f each. The media supply lines are further arranged within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113; it should be pointed out that the inflow scoops 113a are optional, i.e. that the media supply lines 53 in this exemplary embodiment without inflow scoops 113a receive the medium directly through the front opening 101, Fig. 1b, in the inflow channel of the inflow body 113.

The four media supply lines 53 lead at their rear end, viewed in flow direction 110, to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. The media supply lines 53 to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c are arranged on the outside counter to the direction of rotation 50a of the device for generating additional negative pressure and have a braking effect on the speed of the additional vacuum generating device 50; they are therefore specifically provided with the reference number 53c to delimit further media supply lines, FIG. 5, FIG. 6b.

The medium flows via the openings of the inflow hoods 113a, which are aligned with the direction of flow 110 of the medium in question, e.g. Fig. 5, Fig. 6b.

The media supply lines 53 are arranged in an outer area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Outer" area or synonymously "outside" means that the media supply lines 53 between the inner wall of the inlet body 113 and the outer wall of the feed channel 100 to the device for generation of additional negative pressure 50 towards, if such a supply channel is present; if such is not provided, these terms mean that the media supply lines 53 are arranged so far towards the inner wall of the inlet body 113 that the inlet body 113, viewed in the longitudinal direction, is more central and therefore “inner” area or synonymously “inside” at least one ( further) media supply line 53b, 53d can accommodate such that the media supply lines 53 show against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure.

The arrangement of the outer media supply lines 53 "against the direction of rotation" can be seen in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6b. The end of the media supply line 53c that reaches the non-rotating form disk 51c is aligned in such a way that it is against the direction of rotation indicated by the arrow 50a of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. The medium flowing through the media supply line 53c thus hits the converter wheel in such a way that its rotation is thereby reduced, i.e. the speed is braked Braking the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure is made possible due to the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line towards the device for generating additional negative pressure. This enables braking of the rotational speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line 53c towards the device for generating additional negative pressure.

5 and 6b thus show the end of the at least one media supply line 53c facing away from the front opening of the inlet body 113 against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; this is the position of the media supply line which contributes to braking the speed of the device for generating additional vacuum when the relevant medium is fed through the media supply line of the device for generating additional vacuum against the direction of rotation thereof.

The medium passes through the four passages 51f shown in FIG. 6c in the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. It hereby reaches the channels 48 shown in FIG Shaped disc 51c are arranged and is directed outwards via the baffles 44 in a manner explained in detail above.

The speed and the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure are still - in addition to the material nature of the through the media supply lines 53 flowing medium - influenced by the extent of the open position ("open') and closed position ("closed") of the control flaps 53f, which are shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6b.

Throttle "open" means that the converter wheel is braked, which in turn means less torque with lower speed and therefore less power; throttle "closed" means normal recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means normal torque with corresponding speed and therefore normal power.

Changing the speed and/or the torque of the device for generating additional vacuum also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel 80. The control flaps 53f in the "closed" position lead to an increase in pressure at the turbine wheel, i.e. more torque higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps 53f in the "open" position cause a pressure reduction at the turbine wheel, which means less torque at lower speed and thus less power.

As can be seen from Fig. 6a, the converter wheel has a larger diameter than the turbine wheel 80. The latter is arranged in a known manner - viewed in the direction of flow 110 - following a molded part 90 through which the volume flow 40 of the medium also flows within the scope of the invention is deflected in such a way that an optimum pressure is exerted on the blade parts 87 of the turbine wheel 80 (not shown). The turbine wheel 80 and the molded part 90 are—seen in the flow direction 110—framed by the latter at the rear end of the supply channel 100 , if one is provided. Otherwise they are inside the profile part 113 - seen in the flow direction 110 - fixed in the annular center 47 of the device for generating additional negative pressure, Fig. 6a.

Example 3:

The embodiment in Fig. 7 (in conjunction with Fig. 1), Fig. 8, 9, 9a, 9b and 9c shows perspective views of a device 1 with control flaps "accelerating internally", i.e. control flaps and media supply lines are on the inside of the inflow channel of the arranged in the inlet body, i.e. the media supply lines point in the direction of rotation of the device to generate additional negative pressure.

The device 1 has an overall profile part 112 with its profile parts 113 and 114 . The optional feed channel 100 is arranged in the interior of the profile part 113 and its three-dimensional geometric position is shown in dashed lines in FIG. Its configuration and mode of action was explained above in the introductory part of the description of the figures, so that reference is made thereto.

In this exemplary embodiment, the inlet body 113 accommodates four media supply lines 53, each of which is provided with a screen 113b and is attached in front of the inlet 53e (not shown) and the media supply line. A control valve 53f is located after the panel and is accommodated at the beginning of the media lines 53. When the media supply line is closed, the orifice serves to improve the inflow to the turbine. The media supply lines are further arranged within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113; it should be pointed out here that the media supply lines 53 in this exemplary embodiment without inflow scoops 113a receive the medium directly through the front-side opening 101, FIG. 1b, in the inflow channel of the inlet body 113.

The four media supply lines 53, one of which is shown, lead at their rear end, viewed in the direction of flow 110, to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. The media supply lines 53 to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c are in the direction of rotation 50a of the device arranged on the inside to generate additional negative pressure, without being fed into the interior of the inlet body 113 via external inflow scoops, as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 2 and 3; they have an accelerating effect on the speed of the device for generating additional vacuum 50; they are therefore specifically provided with the reference numeral 53b to delimit further media supply lines, FIG. 8, FIG. 9b.

Via the opening 101 (see Fig. lb) of the inlet body 113, which is aligned with the direction of flow 110 of the medium in question, e.g non-rotating mold disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9b.

The media supply lines 53 are arranged in an inner area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Inner" area or synonymously "inside" means that the media supply lines 53 are inside the supply channel 100 to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, if such a supply channel is present; if such is not provided, these terms mean either that the media supply lines 53 are as far away from the inner wall of the inlet body 113 are arranged at a distance in such a way that the inlet body 113 can accommodate at least one (additional) media supply line 53a, 53c in its non-central area viewed in the longitudinal direction, i.e. "outer" area or synonymously "outside" in such a way that the media supply lines 53 in or against show the direction of rotation of the additional vacuum generating device; or they mean that the inlet body 113 does not have inflow scoops 113a, so the medium does not flow through them into the media supply lines; the latter is shown in this embodiment.

The arrangement of the inner media supply lines 53 "in the direction of rotation" can be seen in Fig. 9b The medium flowing through the media supply line 53b thus hits the converter wheel in such a way that its rotation is supported by it, i.e. the speed is increased.Thus, the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 is accelerated as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line 53b to the device for generating additional negative pressure.

9b thus shows the end of the media supply lines 53b facing away from the front opening of the inlet body 113 in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; this is the position of the media supply line which contributes to an acceleration of the speed of the additional vacuum generating device when the relevant medium is supplied through the media supply line to the additional vacuum generating device in the direction of its rotation.

The medium passes through the four passages 51e shown in FIGS. 9a, 9c in the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. It hereby reaches the channels 48 shown in FIG -rotating pattern disc 51c are arranged and is conducted outwards via the guide plates 44 in a manner explained in detail above.

The speed and the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure are also influenced - in addition to the material composition of the medium flowing through the media supply lines 53 - by the extent of the open position ("open") and closed position ("closed") of the control flaps 53f, shown in Figures 8 and 9b.

Control flaps 'open' means more recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means more torque at higher speeds and therefore more power; Control flaps "closed" means less recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means less low-rpm torque and therefore less power.

Changing the speed and/or the torque of the device for generating additional vacuum also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel 80. The control flaps 53f in the "open" position lead to an increase in pressure at the turbine wheel, i.e. more torque higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps 53f in the "closed" position cause a pressure reduction at the turbine wheel, which means less torque at a lower speed and thus less power.

As can be seen from Fig. 9a, the converter wheel has a larger diameter than the turbine wheel 80. The latter is arranged in a known manner - seen in the direction of flow 110 - following a molded part 90 through which the volume flow 40 of the medium also flows within the scope of the invention is deflected in such a way that an optimum pressure is exerted on the blade parts 87 of the turbine wheel 80 (not shown). The turbine wheel 80 and the molded part 90 are—seen in the flow direction 110—framed by the latter at the rear end of the supply channel 100 , if one is provided. Otherwise they are inside the profile part 113--seen in the flow direction 110--fixed in the ring-shaped center 47 of the device for generating additional negative pressure, FIG. 9a.

Example 4:

The embodiment in Fig. 10 (in conjunction with Fig. 1), Fig. 11, Fig. 12, 12a, 12b and 12c shows perspective views of a device 1 with control flaps "braking on the inside", i.e. control flaps and media supply lines are on the inside Arranged in the inflow channel of the inflow body, i.e. the media supply lines point against the direction of rotation of the device to generate additional negative pressure.

The optional feed channel 100 is arranged in the interior of the profile part 113 and its three-dimensional geometric position is shown in dashed lines in FIG. Its configuration and mode of action was explained above in the introductory part of the description of the figures, so that reference is made thereto. In this exemplary embodiment, the inlet body 113 accommodates four media supply lines 53, each of which is provided with a screen 113b and is attached in front of the inlet 53e (not shown) and the media supply line. A control valve 53f is located after the panel and is accommodated at the beginning of the media lines 53. The media supply lines are further arranged within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113; it should be pointed out here that the media supply lines 53 in this exemplary embodiment without inflow scoops 113a receive the medium directly through the front-side opening 101, FIG. 1b, in the inflow channel of the inlet body 113.

The four media supply lines 53, one of which is shown, lead at their rear end, viewed in the direction of flow 110, to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. The media supply lines 53 to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c are opposite to the direction of rotation 50a of Device for generating additional negative pressure arranged inside; they have a braking effect on the speed of the additional vacuum generating device 50; they are therefore specifically provided with the reference numeral 53d to delimit further media supply lines, Fig. 11, Fig. 12b.

Via the opening 101 (cf. Fig. lb) of the inlet body 113, which is aligned with the direction of flow 110 of the medium in question, e.g non-rotating mold disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, Fig. 11, Fig. 12b.

The media supply lines 53 are arranged in an inner area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Inner" area or synonymously "inside" means that the media supply lines 53 are inside the supply channel 100 to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, if such a supply channel is present; if such is not provided, these terms mean either that the media supply lines 53 are arranged far enough away from the inner wall of the inlet body 113 in such a way that the inlet body 113 in its longitudinally non-central, hence "outer" area or synonymously "outside "can in any case accommodate at least one (additional) media supply line 53a, 53c in such a way that the media supply lines 53 point in or against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure; or they mean that the inlet body 113 does not have inflow scoops 113a, so the medium does not flow through them into the media supply lines; the latter is shown in this embodiment. The arrangement of the inner media feed lines 53 “against the direction of rotation” can be seen in Fig. 11, Fig. 12b of the device for generating additional negative pressure. The medium flowing through the media supply line 53d thus strikes the converter wheel in such a way that its rotation is braked by it, i.e. the speed is reduced. The rotational speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 is thus braked as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line 53d towards the device for generating additional negative pressure.

11, 12b thus show the end of the media supply lines 53d facing away from the front-side opening of the inlet body 113 against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; this is the position of the media supply line which contributes to braking the speed of the device for generating additional vacuum when the relevant medium is fed through the media supply line of the device for generating additional vacuum against the direction of rotation thereof.

The medium passes through the four passages 51g shown in Fig. 12a, 12c in the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. It hereby reaches the channels 48 shown in Fig. 12b, which are not between the rotatable circular disk 51a and the -rotating pattern disc 51c are arranged and is conducted outwards via the guide plates 44 in a manner explained in detail above.

The speed and the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure are also influenced - in addition to the material composition of the medium flowing through the media supply lines 53 - by the extent of the open position ("open") and closed position ("closed") of the control flaps 53f, shown in Figures 11 and 12b.

Control flaps 'open' means less recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means less torque at lower rpm and therefore less power; Control flaps "closed" means normal recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means normal torque with normal speed and therefore normal power.

Changing the speed and/or the torque of the device for generating additional vacuum also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel 80. The control flaps 53f in the "open" position lead to a pressure reduction at the turbine wheel, ie less torque lower speed is due to the turbine wheel, which is associated with less power; the Control flaps 53f in the "closed" position cause an increase in pressure at the turbine wheel, which means increased torque at higher speeds and thus more power.

As can be seen from Fig. 12a, the converter wheel has a larger diameter than the turbine wheel 80. The latter is arranged in a known manner - seen in the direction of flow 110 - following a molded part 90 through which the volume flow 40 of the medium also flows within the scope of the invention is deflected in such a way that an optimum pressure is exerted on the blade parts 87 of the turbine wheel 80 (not shown). The turbine wheel 80 and the molded part 90 are—seen in the flow direction 110—framed by the latter at the rear end of the supply channel 100 , if one is provided. Otherwise they are inside the profile part 113--seen in the flow direction 110--fixed in the annular center 47 of the device for generating additional negative pressure, FIGS. 12a, 12b.

Example 5:

The embodiment in Fig. 13 (in connection with Fig. 1), Fig. 14, Fig. 15, 15a, 15b and 15c shows a perspective view of a device 1 with control flaps "accelerating externally and internally", i.e. the control flaps and media supply lines are arranged on the outside and inside of the inflow channel of the inlet body, i.e. the media supply lines point in the direction of rotation of the device to generate additional negative pressure.

In this exemplary embodiment, four outer inflow hoods 113a are arranged at the same distance from one another on the outer casing of the profile part 113, FIG. 1, FIG. 13, FIG. 15a. They cover a material recess in the outer casing 113, FIG. 15b, which, seen in the direction of flow 110, accommodates the front end piece of likewise four outer media supply lines 53a, each having an inlet 53e into the media supply line and one control valve 53f each. The media supply lines are further arranged within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113; it should be pointed out that the inflow hoods 113a are optional, ie the media supply lines 53a could also in this exemplary embodiment without inflow scoops 113a receive the medium directly through the end opening 101, FIG. 1b, in the inflow channel of the inflow body 113. In addition, in this exemplary embodiment there are four further inner media supply lines 53b, each of which is provided with a screen 113b, each having an inlet 53e into the media supply line and each having a control valve 53f. The media supply lines 53b receive the medium directly through the front opening 101, FIG. 1b, in the inflow channel of the inlet body 113.

The eight media supply lines 53, 53a, 53b lead at their rear end, viewed in flow direction 110, to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. The media supply lines 53, 53a, 53b to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c are in the direction of rotation 50a of the device Generation of additional negative pressure arranged outside and inside and have an accelerating effect on the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; they are therefore specifically provided with the reference number 53a for the so-called outer media supply line and with the reference number 53b for the so-called inner media supply line to delimit further media supply lines, FIG. 14, FIG. 15b.

The medium flows through the openings of the inflow hoods 113a, which are aligned with the direction of flow 110 of the medium in question, e.g. wind 105, passing the inlet 53e and the control flaps 53f, into the four outer medium supply lines 53a towards the non-rotating mold disk 51c of the device for generating additional vacuum 50, Fig. 15b.

The four media supply lines 53a are arranged in an outer area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Outer" area or synonymously "outside" means that the media supply lines 53a between the inner wall of the inlet body 113 and the outer wall of the supply duct 100 extend towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, if such a supply duct is present; if such is not provided, these terms mean either that the media supply lines 53a are arranged so far towards the inner wall of the inlet body 113 that the inlet body 113 in its more central, hence "inner" area or synonymously "inside" viewed in the longitudinal direction, at least one (Further) media supply line 53b can accommodate such that the media supply lines 53 point in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure; or the terms mean that the inlet body 113 has inflow scoops 113a, so the medium flows through them into the media supply lines; the latter is shown in this embodiment, Fig. 15a, 15b. The other four media supply lines 53b are arranged in an inner area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Inner" area or synonymously "inside" means that the media supply lines 53b are inside of the supply duct 100 to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, if such a supply duct is present; if such is not provided, these terms mean either that the media supply lines 53 are arranged far enough away from the inner wall of the inlet body 113 in such a way that the inlet body 113 in its longitudinally non-central, hence "outer" area or synonymously "outside "can in any case accommodate at least one (additional) media supply line 53a in such a way that the media supply lines 53 point in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure; or they mean that the media supply lines 53b do not receive the flow of the medium via inflow scoops 113a of the inlet body 113, ie the medium does not flow into the media supply lines via these inflow scoops 113a; the latter is shown in this embodiment, Fig. 15a, 15b.

The arrangement of the outer and inner media supply lines 53a, 53b "in the direction of rotation" can be seen in Fig. 14, Fig. 15b Arrow 50a shows the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure. The medium flowing through the media supply line 53a, 53b hits the converter wheel in such a way that its rotation is supported, i.e. the speed is increased. This results in an acceleration of the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line 53a, 53b towards the device for generating additional negative pressure.

14, 15b thus show the end of the at least one media supply line 53a, 53b facing away from the front opening of the inlet body 113 and the screen 113b in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; this is the position of the media supply line which contributes to an acceleration of the speed of the additional vacuum generating device when the relevant medium is supplied through the media supply line to the additional vacuum generating device in the direction of its rotation.

The medium passes through the four passages 51d shown in FIG. 15c (for the so-called outer media supply lines 53a) and four further passages 51e (for the so-called inner media supply lines 53b) in the non-rotating mold disk 51c of the device Generation of additional negative pressure 50. It hereby reaches the channels 48 shown in FIG. 15b, which are arranged between the rotatable circular disk 51a and the non-rotating shaped disk 51c, and is directed outwards via the guide plates 44 in the manner explained in detail above.

The speed and the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure are also influenced - in addition to the material composition of the medium flowing through the media supply lines 53 - by the extent of the open position ("open") and closed position ("closed") of the control flaps 53f, shown in Figures 14, 15b and 15b Needless to say, each media supply is separately controllable.

As can be seen from Fig. 3a, the converter wheel has a larger diameter than the turbine wheel 80. The latter is arranged in a known manner - viewed in the direction of flow 110 - following a molded part 90 through which the volume flow 40 of the medium also flows within the scope of the invention is deflected in such a way that an optimum pressure is exerted on the blade parts 87 of the turbine wheel 80 (not shown). The turbine wheel 80 and the molded part 90 are—seen in the flow direction 110—framed by the latter at the rear end of the supply channel 100 , if one is provided. Otherwise they are inside the profile part 113--seen in the flow direction 110--fixed in the ring-shaped center 47 of the device for generating additional negative pressure, FIG. 15a.

Example 6:

The exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 16 (in conjunction with FIG. 1), 17, 18, 18a, 18b and 18c shows perspective views of a device 1 with control flaps “braking externally and internally”, ie the control flaps and media supply lines are outside and arranged inside on the inflow channel of the inlet body, ie the media supply lines point against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure. The preferred use of the "external and internal braking" arrangement is at high flow velocities and with strong fluctuations in the flow velocities.

The device 1 has an overall profile part 112 with its profile parts 113 (inlet body) and 114 .

In this exemplary embodiment, four outer inflow hoods 113a are arranged at the same distance from one another on the outer casing of the inlet body 113, FIG. 1, FIG. 16, FIG. 18a. They cover a material recess in the outer casing 113, FIG. 18b, which accommodates the front end piece, viewed in the direction of flow 110, of likewise four outer media supply lines 53c, each having an inlet 53e into the media supply line and one control valve 53f each. The media supply lines are further arranged within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113; it should be pointed out that the inflow scoops 113a are optional, i.e. that the media supply lines 53c in this exemplary embodiment without inflow scoops 113a receive the medium directly through the end opening 101, Fig. 1b, in the inflow channel of the inflow body 113. In addition, in this exemplary embodiment, there are four further inner media supply lines 53d, each of which is provided with a screen 113b, each having an inlet 53e into the media supply line and a control valve 53f each. The media supply lines 53d receive the medium directly via the front opening 101, FIG. 1b, in the inflow channel of the inlet body 113.

The eight media supply lines 53, 53c, 53d lead at their rear end, viewed in the direction of flow 110, to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. The media supply lines 53, 53c, 53d to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c are counter to the direction of rotation 50a of the device arranged to generate additional negative pressure outside and inside and have a braking effect on the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; they are therefore specifically provided with the reference number 53c for the so-called outer media supply line and with the reference number 53d for the so-called inner media supply line to delimit further media supply lines, FIG. 17, FIG. 18b. The medium flows through the openings of the inflow hoods 113a, which are aligned with the direction of flow 110 of the medium in question, e.g vacuum 50, Fig. 18b, 18c.

The four media supply lines 53c are arranged in an outer area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Outer" area or synonymously "outside" means that the media supply lines 53c between the Inner wall of the inlet body 113 and the outer wall of the feed channel 100 run towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, if such a feed channel is present; if such is not provided, these terms mean either that the media supply lines 53c are arranged so far towards the inner wall of the inlet body 113 that the inlet body 113 in its more central, hence "inner" area or synonymously "inside" viewed in the longitudinal direction, at least one (further) media supply line 53d in such a way that the media supply lines 53 point against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure; or the terms mean that the inlet body 113 has inflow scoops 113a, so the medium flows through these into the media supply lines; the latter is shown in this embodiment, Fig. 18a, 18b.

The other four media supply lines 53d are arranged in an inner area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Inner" area or synonymously "inside" means that the media supply lines 53d are inside of the supply channel 100 to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, if such a supply channel is present; if such a supply channel is not provided, these terms mean either that the media supply lines 53d are arranged far enough away from the inner wall of the inlet body 113 in such a way that the Inlet body 113 can accommodate at least one (additional) media feed line 53c in its non-central area viewed in the longitudinal direction, i.e. "outer" or synonymously "outside" in such a way that the media feed lines 53 point in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure; or but they mean that the media supply lines 53d do not receive the flow of the medium via inflow scoops 113a of the inlet body 113, ie the medium does not flow into the media supply lines via these inflow scoops 113a; the latter is shown in this embodiment, Fig. 18a, 18b. The arrangement of the outer and inner media supply lines 53c, 53d "against the direction of rotation" can be seen in FIG. 17, FIG. 18b, 18c. The end of the medium supply line 53c, 53d that reaches the non-rotating form disk 51c is aligned in such a way that it points counter to the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure, indicated by the arrow 50a. The medium flowing through the media supply line 53c, 53d thus hits the converter wheel in such a way that its rotation is thereby reduced, ie the speed is lower. This enables braking of the rotational speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line 53c, 53d towards the device for generating additional negative pressure.

17, 18b thus show the end of the at least one media supply line 53c, 53d facing away from the front-side opening of the inlet body 113 and the screen 113b against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; this is the position of the media supply line which contributes to a reduction in the speed of the device for generating additional vacuum when the relevant medium is fed through the media supply line of the device for generating additional vacuum against the direction of rotation thereof.

The medium passes through the four passages 51f shown in FIG. 18c (for the so-called outer media supply lines 53c) and four further passages 51g (for the so-called inner media supply lines 53d) in the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. It thus reaches the channels 48 shown in FIG. 18b, which are arranged between the rotatable circular disk 51a and the non-rotating shaped disk 51c, and is conducted outwards via the baffles 44 in the manner explained in detail above.

The speed and the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure are also influenced - in addition to the material composition of the medium flowing through the media supply lines 53 - by the extent of the open position ("open") and closed position ("closed") of the control flaps 53f, shown in Figures 16 and 17. Needless to say, each media feed is separately controllable.

Control flaps 'up' means less recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means less torque at lower rpm and therefore less power; Control flaps "closed" means normal recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means normal torque with normal speed and therefore normal power. The change in the speed and / or the torque of the device for generating additional vacuum also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel 80. The control flaps 53f in the "closed" position lead to an increase in pressure at the turbine wheel, ie more torque higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps 53f in the "open" position cause a pressure reduction at the turbine wheel, which means less torque at lower speed and thus less power.

As can be seen from Fig. 18a, the converter wheel has a larger diameter than the turbine wheel 80. The latter is arranged in a known manner - seen in the direction of flow 110 - following a molded part 90 through which the volume flow 40 of the medium also flows within the scope of the invention is deflected in such a way that an optimum pressure is exerted on the blade parts 87 of the turbine wheel 80 (not shown). The turbine wheel 80 and the molded part 90 are—seen in the flow direction 110—framed by the latter at the rear end of the supply channel 100 , if one is provided. Otherwise they are inside the profile part 113--seen in the direction of flow 110--fixed in the ring-shaped center 47 of the device for generating additional negative pressure, FIG. 18a.

Example 7:

The embodiment in Fig. 19 (in connection with Fig. 1), Fig. 20, Fig. 21, 21a, 21b and 21c shows in perspective representations a device 1 with control flaps "accelerating on the inside and braking on the outside", i.e. the control flaps and Media supply lines are arranged on the outside and inside of the inflow channel of the inlet body, i.e. the media supply lines on the inside point in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure and the medium supply lines on the outside point against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure. The preferred use of the arrangement "inside accelerating and outside Braking" is braking at high flow velocities and accelerating at lower flow velocities and in the case of strong fluctuations in flow velocities.

The optional feed channel 100 is arranged in the interior of the profile part 113 and its three-dimensional geometric position is shown in dashed lines in FIG. Its configuration and mode of action was explained above in the introductory part of the description of the figures, so that reference is made thereto. In this exemplary embodiment, four outer inflow hoods 113a are arranged at the same distance from one another on the outer casing of the inlet body 113, FIG. 1, FIG. 19, FIG. 21a. They cover a material recess in the outer casing 113, FIG. 21b, which, seen in the direction of flow 110, accommodates the front end piece of likewise four outer media supply lines 53c, each having an inlet 53e into the media supply line and one control valve 53f each. The media supply lines are further arranged within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113; it should be noted that the inflow scoops 113a are optional, ie the media supply lines 53c in this exemplary embodiment without inflow scoops 113a receive the medium directly through the end opening 101, FIG. In addition, in this exemplary embodiment there are four further inner media supply lines 53b, each of which is provided with a screen 113b, each having an inlet 53e into the media supply line and each having a control valve 53f. The media supply lines 53b receive the medium directly via the front opening 101, FIG. 1b, in the inflow channel of the inlet body 113.

The eight media supply lines 53, 53c, 53b lead at their rear end, seen in the direction of flow 110, to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. The media supply lines 53, 53c to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c are counter to the direction of rotation 50a of the device arranged on the outside for generating additional negative pressure and have a braking effect on the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; the media supply lines 53, 53b to the non-rotating forming disk 51c are arranged in the direction of rotation 50a of the device for generating additional vacuum and have an accelerating effect on the speed of the device for generating additional vacuum 50; they are therefore specifically provided with the reference number 53c for the so-called outer and braking media supply line and with the reference number 53b for the so-called inner accelerating media supply line, and the screen 113b Fig. 20, Fig. 21b to delimit further media supply lines.

The medium flows through the openings of the inflow hoods 113a, which are aligned with the direction of flow 110 of the medium in question, e.g. wind 105, passing the inlet 53e and the control flaps 53f, into the four outer medium supply lines 53c to the non-rotating mold disk 51c of the device for generating additional vacuum 50, Fig. 20, Fig. 21b.

The four media supply lines 53c are arranged in an outer area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Outer" area or Synonymously "outside" means that the media supply lines 53c run between the inner wall of the inlet body 113 and the outer wall of the supply channel 100 to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, if such a supply channel is present; if such a supply channel is not provided, these terms mean either that the media supply lines 53c are arranged so far towards the inner wall of the inlet body 113 that the inlet body 113, viewed in the longitudinal direction, can accommodate at least one (additional) media supply line 53b in its more central, therefore "inner" area or synonymously "inside" such that the media supply lines 53 point in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure; or the terms mean that the inlet body 113 has inflow scoops 113a, so the medium flows through these into the media supply lines; the latter is shown in this exemplary embodiment, Fig. 20, Fig 21a, 21b.

The other four media supply lines 53b are arranged in an inner area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Inner" area or synonymously "inside" means that the media supply lines 53b are inside of the supply duct 100 to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, if such a supply duct is present; if such is not provided, these terms mean either that the media supply lines 53b are arranged far enough away from the inner wall of the inlet body 113 in such a way that the inlet body 113, viewed in the longitudinal direction, is off-central and therefore “outer” or synonymously “outside "can in any case accommodate at least one (additional) media supply line 53c in such a way that the media supply line 53c points in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure; or they mean that the at least one media supply line 53b does not receive the medium flow via inflow scoops 113a of the inlet body 113, ie the medium does not flow into the media supply lines via these inflow scoops 113a; the latter is shown in this embodiment, Fig. 20, Fig. 21a, 21b.

The arrangement of the outer media supply lines 53c "against the direction of rotation" and the inner media supply lines 53b "in the direction of rotation" can be seen in Fig. 20, Fig. 21b points against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure, indicated by the arrow 50a. The medium flowing through the media supply line 53c hits the converter wheel in such a way that its rotation is reduced, i.e. the speed is lower. Braking is thus carried out the rotational speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line 53c to the device for generating additional negative pressure The end of the media supply line 53b reaching the form disk 51c is aligned in such a way that it points in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure, indicated by the arrow 50a. The medium flowing through the media supply line 53b hits the converter wheel in such a way that its rotation is thereby accelerated, ie the speed increases. This enables the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 to be accelerated as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line 53b towards the device for generating additional negative pressure. Depending on the respective acute environmental conditions, eg wind conditions, the device 1 can be controlled by means of suitable regulating and control measures such that either the accelerating or the braking function comes to the fore.

20, 21b thus show the end of the media supply lines 53c facing away from the front-side opening of the inlet body 113 against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; this is the position of the media supply line which contributes to a reduction in the speed of the device for generating additional vacuum when the relevant medium is fed through the media supply line of the device for generating additional vacuum against the direction of rotation thereof. 20, 21b also show the end of the media supply lines 53b facing away from the front opening of the inlet body 113 in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; this is the position of the media supply line that contributes to an increase in the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 when the relevant medium is supplied through the media supply line 53b of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 in the direction of rotation.

The medium passes through the four passages 51f shown in FIG. 21c (for the so-called outer media supply lines 53c) and four further passages 51e (for the so-called inner media supply lines 53b) in the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. It thus reaches the channels 48 shown in FIG. 21b, which are arranged between the rotatable circular disk 51a and the non-rotating shaped disk 51c, and is conducted outwards via the baffle plates 44 in the manner explained in detail above.

The speed and the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure are also influenced - in addition to the material composition of the medium flowing through the media supply lines 53 - by the extent of the open position ("open") and closed position ("closed") of the control flaps 53f, shown in Figures 20 and 21b Needless to say, each media supply line is separately controllable. Control flaps "open" with the media supply lines "inside" 53b in the direction of rotation means higher recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means more torque with higher speed and thus more power; control flaps "closed" with the media supply lines "inside" in the direction of rotation mean less recoil at the converter wheel , which in turn means less low-rpm torque and therefore less power.

The change in the speed and / or the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure in the media supply lines "inside" 53b in the direction of rotation also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel 80. The control flaps in the "open" position lead to a Pressure increase at the turbine wheel, i.e. more torque with higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps in the "closed" position cause a reduction in pressure on the turbine wheel, which means less torque at lower speeds and therefore less power.

Control flaps "open" in the media supply lines "outside" 53c against the direction of rotation means that the converter wheel is braked, which in turn means less torque at a lower speed and thus less power; control flaps "closed" in the media supply lines "outside" against the direction of rotation mean one normal recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means normal torque with the corresponding speed and thus normal power.

The change in the speed and/or the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure in the "outside" media supply lines 53c against the direction of rotation also has a direct influence on the speed and the torque of the turbine wheel 80. The control flaps in the "closed" position leads to an increase in pressure at the turbine wheel, i.e. more torque with higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps in the "open" position causes a reduction in pressure on the turbine wheel, which means less torque at lower speeds and therefore less power.

As can be seen from Fig. 21a, the converter wheel has a larger diameter than the turbine wheel 80. The latter is arranged in a known manner - seen in the direction of flow 110 - following a molded part 90 through which the volume flow 40 of the medium also flows within the scope of the invention is deflected in such a way that an optimum pressure is exerted on the blade parts 87 of the turbine wheel 80 (not shown). The turbine wheel 80 and the molded part 90 are—seen in the flow direction 110—framed by the latter at the rear end of the supply channel 100 , if one is provided. Otherwise are they inside the profile part 113 - seen in flow direction 110 - fixed in the annular center 47 of the device for generating additional negative pressure, Fig. 21a.

Example 8:

The embodiment in Fig. 22 (in connection with Fig. 1), Fig. 23, Fig. 24, 24a, 24b and 24c shows in perspective representations a device 1 with control flaps "braking on the inside and accelerating on the outside", i.e. the control flaps and Media supply lines are arranged on the outside and inside of the inflow channel of the inlet body, i.e. the media supply lines on the inside point against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure and the media supply lines on the outside in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure. The preferred use of the arrangement "braking on the inside and accelerating on the outside" is decelerating at high flow velocities and accelerating at lower flow velocities and in the case of strong fluctuations in flow velocities.

In this exemplary embodiment, two outer inflow hoods 113a are arranged at the same distance from one another on the outer casing of the inlet body 113, FIG. 1, FIG. 22, FIG. 24a. They cover a material recess in the outer casing 113, FIG. 24b, which, seen in the direction of flow 110, accommodates the front end piece of two outer media supply lines 53a, each having an inlet 53e in the media supply line and a control valve 53f each. The media supply lines are further arranged within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113; it should be pointed out that the inflow scoops 113a are optional, ie that the media supply lines 53a in this exemplary embodiment without inflow scoops 113a receive the medium directly through the end opening 101, FIG. In addition, in this exemplary embodiment, there are two further inner media supply lines 53d, each of which is provided with a screen 113b, each having an inlet 53e into the media supply line and a control valve 53f each. The media supply lines 53d receive the medium directly via the front opening 101, FIG. 1b, in the inflow channel of the inlet body 113. The four media supply lines 53, 53a, 53d lead at their rear end, seen in the direction of flow 110, to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. The media supply lines 53, 53d to the non-rotating shaped disk 51c are opposite to the direction of rotation 50a of the device arranged internally to generate additional vacuum and have a braking effect on the rotational speed of the device for generating additional vacuum 50; the media supply lines 53, 53a to the non-rotating forming disk 51c are arranged on the outside in the direction of rotation 50a of the device for generating additional negative pressure and have an accelerating effect on the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; they are therefore specifically provided with the reference number 53a for the so-called outer and accelerating media supply line and with the reference number 53d for the so-called inner braking medium supply line to delimit further media supply lines, Fig. 23, Fig. 24b.

The medium flows through the openings of the inflow hoods 113a, which are aligned with the direction of flow 110 of the medium in question, e.g. wind 105, passing the inlet 53e and the control flaps 53f, into the two outer medium supply lines 53a towards the non-rotating mold disk 51c of the device for generating additional vacuum 50, Fig. 23, Fig. 24b.

The two media supply lines 53a are arranged in an outer area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Outer" area or synonymously "outside" means that the media supply lines 53a are between the Inner wall of the inlet body 113 and the outer wall of the feed channel 100 run towards the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, if such a feed channel is present; if such is not provided, these terms mean either that the media supply lines 53a are arranged so far towards the inner wall of the inlet body 113 that the inlet body 113 in its more central, hence "inner" area viewed in the longitudinal direction or synonymously "inside" at least (further ) can accommodate media supply lines 53d in such a way that the media supply lines 53d point against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure; or the terms mean that the inlet body 113 has inflow scoops 113a, so the medium flows through them into the media supply lines; the latter is shown in this embodiment, Fig. 23, Fig. 24a, 24b.

The other two media supply lines 53d are arranged in an inner area within the inflow channel of the inlet body 113 and, like this, run in the longitudinal direction to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. "Inner" area or Synonymously "inside" means that the media supply lines 53d run within the supply channel 100 to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, if such a supply channel is present; if such a supply channel is not provided, these terms mean either that the media supply lines 53d run as far from the inner wall of the inlet body 113 are arranged remotely in such a way that the inlet body 113 can accommodate at least one (additional) media supply line 53a in its longitudinally non-central, i.e. "outer" area or synonymously "outside" in such a way that the media supply line 53a in shows the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional vacuum; or they mean that the at least one media supply line 53d does not receive the medium flow via inflow scoops 113a of the inlet body 113, i.e. the medium does not flow into the media supply lines via this inflow scoops 113a; the latter is shown in this embodiment, Fig. 23, Fig. 24a, 24b.

The arrangement of the inner media supply lines 53d "against the direction of rotation" and the outer media supply lines 53a "in the direction of rotation" can be seen in FIG. 23, FIG. 24b. The end of the media supply line 53d that reaches the non-rotating form disk 51c is aligned in such a way that it points against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure, which is indicated by the arrow 50a. The medium flowing through the media supply line 53d thus hits the converter wheel in such a way that its rotation is thereby reduced, ie the speed is lower. This enables braking of the rotational speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line 53d towards the device for generating additional negative pressure. The end of the media supply line 53a that reaches the non-rotating form disk 51c is aligned in such a way that it points in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure, indicated by the arrow 50a. The medium flowing through the media supply line 53a thus hits the converter wheel in such a way that its rotation is thereby accelerated, ie the speed increases. This enables the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 to be accelerated as a result of the flow of the medium in the respective media supply line 53a towards the device for generating additional negative pressure. Depending on the respective acute environmental conditions, e.g. wind conditions, the device 1 can be controlled by suitable regulation and control measures in such a way that either the accelerating or the braking function comes to the fore.

23, 24b thus show the end of the media supply lines 53d facing away from the front opening of the inlet body 113 and the screen 113b against the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; this is the position of the media supply line, leading to a reduction in the speed of rotation of the generating device additional negative pressure contributes when the medium in question is fed through the media supply line of the device for generating additional negative pressure against the direction of rotation. 23, 24b also show the end of the media supply lines 53a facing away from the front-side opening of the inlet body 113 in the direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50; this is the position of the media supply line which contributes to an increase in the speed of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 when the relevant medium is supplied through the medium supply line 53a of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 in the direction of rotation.

The medium passes through the two passages 51d shown in FIG. 24c (for the so-called outer media supply lines 53c) and four further passages 51g (for the so-called inner media supply lines 53b) in the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. It thus reaches the channels 48 shown in FIG. 24b, which are arranged between the rotatable circular disk 51a and the non-rotating shaped disk 51c, and is conducted outwards via the baffle plates 44 in the manner explained in detail above.

The speed and the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure are also influenced - in addition to the material composition of the medium flowing through the media supply lines 53 - by the extent of the open position ("open") and closed position ("closed") of the control flaps 53f, shown in Figures 23 and 24b Needless to say, each media supply line is separately controllable.

Control flaps "open" in the media supply lines "inside" 53d against the direction of rotation means that the converter wheel is braked, which in turn means less torque at a lower speed and thus less power; control flaps "closed" in the media supply lines "inside" against the direction of rotation means one normal recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means normal torque with the corresponding speed and thus normal power.

The change in the speed and/or the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure in the media supply lines "inside" 53d against the direction of rotation also has a direct influence on the speed and the torque of the turbine wheel 80. The control flaps in the "closed" position leads to an increase in pressure at the turbine wheel, ie more torque with a higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps in the "open" position causes a reduction in pressure on the turbine wheel, which means less torque at lower speeds and therefore less power. Control flaps "open" for the media supply lines "outside" 53a in the direction of rotation means higher recoil at the converter wheel, which in turn means more torque with higher speed and thus more power; control flaps "closed" for the media supply lines "outside" in the direction of rotation mean less recoil at the converter wheel , which in turn means less low-rpm torque and therefore less power.

The change in the speed and / or the torque of the device for generating additional negative pressure in the media supply lines "outside" 53a in the direction of rotation also has a direct influence on the speed and torque of the turbine wheel 80. The control flaps in the "open" position leads to a Pressure increase at the turbine wheel, i.e. more torque with higher speed is applied to the turbine wheel, which is associated with more power; the control flaps in the "closed" position causes a pressure reduction at the turbine wheel, which means less torque at lower speed and thus less power.

As can be seen from Fig. 24a, the converter wheel has a larger diameter than the turbine wheel 80. The latter is arranged in a known manner - viewed in the direction of flow 110 - following a molded part 90 through which the volume flow 40 of the medium also flows within the scope of the invention is deflected in such a way that an optimum pressure is exerted on the blade parts 87 of the turbine wheel 80 (not shown). The turbine wheel 80 and the molded part 90 are—seen in the flow direction 110—framed by the latter at the rear end of the supply channel 100 , if one is provided. Otherwise they are inside the profile part 113--seen in the flow direction 110--fixed in the ring-shaped center 47 of the device for generating additional negative pressure, FIG. 24a.

Example 9:

The exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 25, 25a shows another type of media supply, namely a perspective representation of a device 1 according to the invention with a version with ring channels and control with external acceleration and internal braking or control with external braking and internal acceleration.

To the extent that FIGS. 25 and 25a contain the same reference symbols as in the above exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 24, the components referred to have the same function. In this respect, reference is made to this.

The present exemplary embodiment is characterized in that the media supply lines are designed as ring channels, ie, for example, ring-shaped. So can of the front opening 101 of the inlet body 113, two ring-shaped channels 53i, 53j can be arranged in the direction of the non-rotating shaped disk 51c of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, with the ring channels forming a narrower and wider ring at the front.

Fig. 25 shows that the front molded disc 51c is designed in such a way that it has two ring channels "molded" in the front area, with the inner ring channel 53h/53j being responsible for braking and the inflow and outflow opening running against the direction of rotation and the outer annular channel 53g/53i is responsible for the acceleration and the inflow and outflow opening runs in the direction of rotation 50a; the arrangement can also be inverse.

Individual ring channels are not shown in FIG. Individual ring channels are possible and then have individual or multiple accesses to the front mold disc. The ring channels can each be designed independently without the design of the mold disk. For example, the outer annular channel 53i can receive the medium flowing into the inlet body 113 via the inlet scoops 113a, which have been explained several times in the previous exemplary embodiments.

Example 10:

The exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 26, 26a, 26b, 26c contains in perspective representations an embodiment of the energy converter with a version of a regulating wheel with inclined openings.

This exemplary embodiment is an embodiment of the invention in which it solves the task without at least one media supply line using a converter wheel 50 with the above-described non-rotating shaped disk 51c, in which the increase in the speed of the device for generating additional vacuum or the reduction in the speed of the device for generating additional Negative pressure is brought about by the design of the at least one additional opening (in addition to the annular channel 41) contained in the molded disk.

To the extent that FIGS. 26, 26a, 26b, 26c contain the same reference symbols as in the above exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 25, the components referred to have the same function. In this respect, reference is made to this.

In this embodiment, the medium flows through the front-side opening 101 of the inlet body 113 to the device for generating additional negative pressure 50, which is generated via a rotatable circular disc 51a, an annular channel 41, areas 43, baffles 44, 45, antechamber 46, center 47, channels 48 and a non-rotating front mold disc 51c as previously described. The direction of rotation of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50 is indicated by 50a.

A rotating disk 51j is provided as a shutter. This is pivoted about a central axis 51n in one of the two pivoting directions 51m and thus releases the oblique opening 51h for accelerating the device for generating additional vacuum 50 or in the other direction of rotation 51i when braking the device for generating additional vacuum. The turntable with passages 51k is accelerating and 511 is decelerating. The positioning is arranged so that either accelerates. id or braked or the passages in the front molded disc are covered.

It is also possible to combine this design of the specific design of the passages with at least one ring channel according to the embodiment of FIG while the other ring channel can be connected to the oblique passages 51i in the shaped disc against the direction of rotation 50a of the device for generating additional negative pressure 50. The supply flow of the medium can be controlled in the ring channels by appropriate design of control flaps, e.g. in the form of slides or similar. In this way, the aforementioned regulating wheel as an aperture could be dispensed with.
