ES2214145A1 - System for performing transformation of energy generated by moving vehicles utilized in urban area, has ramps located in drive way, generator producing electricity to tap portion of energy, and piston provided in inside chambers - Google Patents

Abstract

The system has ramps (2) that are located in a drive way that is trodden by a passage of vehicles (1). A generator (6) produces electricity to tap a portion of energy, and a piston (3) is provided in inside chambers in which air is compressed. A turbine (5) rotates the generator, where air is compressed in the inside cylinders and the compressed air is fed into a tank (4).

Description

Energy transformation system generated by moving vehicles.

The present invention relates to a system of transformation of energy generated by moving vehicles, thanks to which it is possible to take advantage of the energy emitted by the Vehicle movement Its advantage is that it recovers part of the energy that vehicles transmit when being in movement and this is transformed into electrical energy.

Background of the invention

Different systems used for produce electricity, harnessing the force of water, known as waterfalls. The main problem to get energy through a waterfall, is to channel the water, almost always in river beds, until reaching a certain height, almost Always using natural resources.

The owner of the present invention intends use the force generated by the movement of vehicles, to store pressurized air and then move a turbine when this air comes out and this turbine moves a generator to produce electricity.

Description of the invention

The generated energy transformation system by moving vehicles in question consists of a series of ramps placed at the level of the road, which transmit a vertical movement when passing cars over.

The ramps are pushed vertically down and these in turn transmit the movement to some plungers that slide inside some cameras in the which compresses the air. When the vehicle passes through each of these ramps return to their original position. The air is conducted through pipes to a warehouse where it is stored under pressure

Once the air reaches the necessary pressure, object of the study, by opening a valve, is directed through ducts to a turbine. This turbine spins driven by effect of the air, which leaves the tank when it is under pressure and the turbine spins a generator which produces electricity. The Electricity is supplied to the power grid.

A remarkable feature of this system is that you can install the number of ramps needed to get the energy you want to reach. This system is ideal for install it on urban routes, as it also serves to make slow the speed of moving vehicles.

Another feature is that more will occur. energy when it is most needed, and this occurs when more traffic there is. Unlike other energy sources, installed far from urban areas, this system produces energy in inhabited areas, where it is most needed, therefore the transport of energy Even the final consumer is easier.

In addition this system unlike others power generation systems, does not pollute since it does not emit no type of waste or environmental or visual impact, since the Most of the system can be installed under the floor. For complement the description that will be followed and with in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is accompanied by the present specification of a plane based on whose figures the advantages will be more easily understood of the system object of the invention.

Brief description of the drawings

The plan shows an elevation view of the energy transformation system generated by vehicles in movement. The vehicle passes over the ramps, you are at your Once they compress air in a tank using pistons, the air coming out of the tank turns a turbine and the turbine turns a generator that produces electricity.

Description of a preferred embodiment

In view of the commented figure, you can observe how the system is formed by ramps, which are installed one after the other, at road level.

These ramps sink when passing vehicles with their wheels above and transmit a vertical movement to some pistons that are housed inside some cylinders These pistons due to the force transmitted by the vehicles passing over the ramps, compress the air in The inside of the cylinders. Compressed air is conducted to inside a warehouse.

When there is enough air inside the deposit, this is let out led by ducts to Move a turbine This turbine in turn spins a generator and the generator produces electrical energy that is supplied to the network electric

A remarkable feature of this system is that you can install the number of ramps needed to get the energy you want to reach. This system is ideal for install it in urban routes, since it serves to reduce the car speed.

Another feature is that it will occur greater energy when it is most needed, and this occurs when more traffic there is. Unlike other sources of energy, it produces energy in inhabited areas, where it is most needed, therefore transport from energy to the final consumer is very simple.

In addition this energy transformation system generated by moving vehicles, it is a source of energy that does not pollute and does not present any environmental or visual impact, since most of the system, it can be installed under the I usually.
