Abstract

Procedure for obtaining electrical energy by water. The invention consists in the creation of a structure designed in such a way that it can use the potential energy of water to produce electrical energy. This structure has to be dimensioned to the effect, but as fundamentals it needs requirements that cause the continuous movement of water, turbulence and eddies, which cause the continuous rotation of the propellers, to then transform this kinetic energy into electrical energy through the use of electric generators. These requirements are the opposing disposition of the water tanks, the inclusion of inclined planes that provoke the acceleration of the same, the inclination of the support plane of the collector that causes the formation of eddies and the arrangement, section and length of the conduit of drain that causes a water suction effect that facilitates its evacuation.

Explanation.

The need to find ways of producing alternative energy, due to the scarcity of resources used and the effects on climate change, has led to progress in research into this sector.

The study of energy production from inexhaustible and non-polluting sources is becoming increasingly indispensable. Numerous renewable energy utilization projects have been carried out with the current problem of high production costs. Solving this problem is the desired objective.

Object of the invention

Three quarters of the Earth's surface is occupied by water. The object of the invention is the use of this good for obtaining energy, in a clean manner and without causing any environmental impact, taking advantage of the potential energy of water and the force of gravity.

Although initially the idea is conceived for use on the surface or buried, its viability in the marine environment is not ruled out, where seawater could be used to supply, at low cost, the necessary water supply.

Description of the invention

The invention, pending dimensioning calculations, consists of a hypothetical, symmetrical and vertical development structure, necessary to favor the main process of water mechanization and electric power generation, with four main supports (1), which support a platform of inclined planes (2) with edge flanges, and four other secondary supports (3) on which a collecting vessel (4), an intermediate platform (5) supporting some generators (6) and another lower platform ( 7) anchor (8) thereof.

The process is based on the supply of a continuous and predetermined volume of water, through four discharge tanks (9) facing each other, on suitable supports (10), so that by gravity, running through the platform of inclined planes ( 2), are channeled to a collecting vessel (4).

The collecting vessel (4), cylindrical in shape with a blind bottom, will have a central drain (11) of sufficient evacuation capacity, arranged at a lower level than the support flange of the vessel (12) and superior to the blind base of the cylinder (13), which would guarantee the evacuation of superfluous waters by overflowing them.

In the blind base of the cylinder (13) the blades of the propellers (14) of the generators (6) will be located, which will take advantage of the swirling movement of the waters, favored by the inclination of the support flange of the vessel (12) , to rotate the blades (14), transmitting the kinetic energy itself to the electric generators (6), until reaching the connection speed, producing electrical energy constantly, while the blades of the propellers (14) are in motion .

In the design presented, the evacuation of superfluous waters is carried out by channeling them, through a drain pipe (15), to a cistern (16), of adequate capacity, located in the lower seat base (17). To the base of the cistern

(16) motors (18) would be connected, powered by the generators themselves (6), whose mission would be to boost the water received to the discharge tanks (9), through pipes (19), thus achieving a cycle of continuous operation with minimal water consumption.

DISCLOSURE OF AN EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The possibility of including the proposed system directly on water, at sea or in a reservoir, would obtain the technical advantage of the inexhaustible water supply. This could be sucked using, as drive elements, motors driven by wind turbines properly installed.
