Abstract
Description
On connait L'aérostat s'élevant au dessus te la surface du sol à l'aide du gaz plus léger que l'air ambiant contenu dans son enveloppe.On connaît le ballon solaire s'élevant comme un aérostat grsce au chauffage gratuit de L'sir de on enveloppe par le rayonnement solaire. We know the aerostat rising above the ground surface using gas lighter than the ambient air contained in its envelope. We know the solar balloon rising like an aerostat thanks to the free heating of L 'sir de on enveloped by solar radiation.
On connait le parasol destiné 7 projeter son ombre pour protéger du solell.Il devient alors possible de réa- liser un parasol constitué d'un ballon solaire captif. We know the parasol intended to cast its shadow to protect from the sun. It then becomes possible to make a parasol made of a captive solar balloon.
Il suffit à ce ballon de supporter son propre poids en s'échauffant via le rayonnement sola}re pour projeter sur le sol son ombre propre.It suffices for this balloon to support its own weight by heating up via solar radiation to project its own shadow onto the ground.
Un tel parasol présente des qualités de légéreté.II est sans danser aux coups de vent contrairement aux autresparasols, car-démunl de tout matériau dur ou pesant. Such a parasol has qualities of lightness. It is without dancing to gusts of wind unlike other parasols, car-deprived of any hard or heavy material.
Cependant un tel parasol pourrait s'échapper dans le clel en cas de maladresse, comme cela arrlve aux enfants jouant avec un ballon.Le parasol serait perdu pour son propriétaire et viendrait encombrer l'atmosphère. However, such an umbrella could escape into the crowd in the event of awkwardness, as happens to children playing with a balloon. The umbrella would be lost to its owner and would clutter the atmosphere.
L'invention prévoit un parasol solaire présentant un centre de poussée ascenslonnelle situé en dessous du centre te gravité.Le parasol tend donc s se retourner à L'occasion d'un lâcher.L'ouverture permanente de l'enve- loppe située en bas en fonctionnement normal laisse alors s'échapper L'air chaud et le parasol perdant sa force ascensionnelle revient de lui-même au sol. The invention provides a solar parasol having a center of upward pressure situated below the center of gravity. The parasol therefore tends to turn around when it is released. The permanent opening of the envelope situated at the bottom in normal operation then lets out the hot air and the parasol losing its upward force returns itself to the ground.
Le boomerang et parasol solaire est constitué d'un matériau léger, souple et étanche.Les films plastiques ou les tissus du type soie ajouteront aux qualités citées des qualités thermiques adaptées à l'élévation de la température de L'air de l'enveloppe par le rayonnement solaire. The boomerang and solar parasol is made of a light, flexible and waterproof material. Plastic films or silk-type fabrics will add to the qualities mentioned thermal qualities adapted to the rise in the temperature of the air in the envelope. solar radiation.
Sur le dessin 1/1, une première pièce (1) de forme ronde, de rayon R adhère hermétiquement à une pièce (2) de forme conique.La pièce (1) est transparente au rayonnement solaire qui echauffe la pièce (2) d'une couleur absorbant le rayonnement solaire pour chauffer l'air interne. In drawing 1/1, a first piece (1) of round shape, of radius R hermetically adheres to a piece (2) of conical shape. The piece (1) is transparent to solar radiation which heats the piece (2) d '' a color absorbing solar radiation to heat the internal air.
On désigne par (3) le centre de la pièce ronde (1), par (4) la pointe du cane, par x.R la hauteur du cône allant du centre (3) à la pointe (4) sur l'axe (5). We designate by (3) the center of the round part (1), by (4) the tip of the cane, by xR the height of the cone going from the center (3) to the tip (4) on the axis (5) .
Un extenseur constitue d'un tube torique représenté en coupe (6), mis sous pression via une valve (7) impose à l'enveloppe souple sa forme circulaire.La pointe du cône (4) est percée d'une ouverture permanente (8) permettant A l'air de circuler entre intérieur et extérieur de l'enve- loppe, ne serait-ce que pour plier le parasol. A stent consists of an O-tube shown in section (6), pressurized via a valve (7) imposes on the flexible envelope its circular shape. The tip of the cone (4) is pierced with a permanent opening (8 ) allowing Air to circulate between inside and outside of the enclosure, if only to fold the parasol.
Un fil (9) fixe le parasol au Jol.Un ruban (10) permet de stabiliser le parasol dans le vent.L'ombre projetée (11) sur le sol correspond au rayonnement du soleil (12) intercepté pour chauffer L'air de l'enveloppe. A wire (9) fixes the parasol to the Jol. A ribbon (10) stabilizes the parasol in the wind. The shade projected (11) on the ground corresponds to the radiation of the sun (12) intercepted to heat the air of the envelope.
Le centre te poutsée ascensionnelle (13) et le centre de gravité (14) sont situés à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe et sur l'axe (5) pour une raison évidente de symétrie.On d6montre que le centre de poussée (13) est en dessous du centre de gravité (14) quand les matériaux utilisés pour les places (1) et (2) ont même masse par unité de surface.Ls masse du tube torique (6) Clive encore plus le centre de gravité (14) verg le haut. The center of the upward beam (13) and the center of gravity (14) are located inside the envelope and on the axis (5) for an obvious reason of symmetry. It is shown that the center of thrust (13 ) is below the center of gravity (14) when the materials used for the places (1) and (2) have the same mass per unit area. The mass of the O-tube (6) Cleaves the center of gravity even more (14 ) verg the top.
Si le parasol est lâché, il monte en tendant à se retourner.L'ouverture permanente (8) de l'enveloppe souple évacue l'air chaud, entrainant une disparition de la force ascensionnelle et un retour précipité vera le aol. If the parasol is released, it rises, tending to turn over. The permanent opening (8) of the flexible envelope evacuates the hot air, causing a disappearance of the upward force and a precipitated return will see the aol.
Le ruban (10) joue dans la phase de retour précipité une fonction anti-parachute accélérant encore le retour.The ribbon (10) plays in the precipitated return phase an anti-parachute function further accelerating the return.
Compte tenu des matériaux connus, à savoir environ dix grammes par mètre carré, de l'énergie solaire récupérable, les réalisations pratiques situent la dimension du rayon R dans l'ordre de grandeur du btre.La valeur du paramètre. x est optimisable pour maximiser la force ascensionnelle. Taking into account the known materials, namely approximately ten grams per square meter, of the recoverable solar energy, the practical realizations situate the dimension of the radius R in the order of magnitude of the beam. The value of the parameter. x is optimizable to maximize the upward force.
On définit la force ascensionnelle F comme égale å la différence entre la pouggee d'Archlmède A et le poIds P. We define the ascending force F as equal to the difference between the pouch of Archlmede A and the weight P.
Pour une puissance W donnée du rayonnement solaire par unité de surface et un rayon R donné, l'élévation de tempe- rature T de l'air de l'enveloppe diminue quand x augmente. For a given power W of solar radiation per unit area and a given radius R, the temperature rise T of the air in the envelope decreases as x increases.
En effet la surface d'échange de chaleur avec l'air amblant augmente avec x.La poutsée A ugmente quand le volume et T augmentent, c'eut à dire avec x et , pour unrayon R donné.Pour un matériau de poIds donné par unité de surface, le poIds augmente avec x, pour R donné. In fact, the heat exchange surface with the surrounding air increases with x. The outlet A increases when the volume and T increase, that is to say with x and, for a given ray R. For a weight material given by unit of area, the weight increases with x, for R given.
L'homme de l'art saura écrire l'quatlon complte : F=A-P
F=f(R,U,x,K) où K représente des paramètres tels que température ambiante, conduction calorifique,poids par unité de surface du matériau, constante des gaz parfaits, poIds volumique de l'air,élévation de temprature... Those skilled in the art will be able to write the complete quad: F = AP
F = f (R, U, x, K) where K represents parameters such as ambient temperature, heat conduction, weight per unit area of the material, constant of ideal gases, volume weight of air, rise in temperature. .
La dérivé par rapport å x s'annule pour une valeur de x correspondant à un maxImum de F.I1 faut ensuite R et U suffisamment grand pour que F soit positive et permette l'aérostation. The derivative with respect to å x vanishes for a value of x corresponding to a maxImum of F.I1 then R and U are necessary large enough for F to be positive and allow aerostation.
