FR2710110A1 - Artificial waterfalls for powering turbines and producing electricity - Google Patents

Abstract

Device for producing a lot of electricity at low cost using hydraulics. The invention relates to the manufacture of artificial waterfalls (4) constructed in cascade along a watercourse with sufficient flow rate and slope. The device will consist either of artificial waterfalls (4) in the open air or underground, or cut out in the rock, or constructed using water in the river, or constructed in a hybrid fashion. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the production of large amounts of electricity at low cost by EDF or its competitors throughout the whole world.

DESCRIPTION

  The present invention relates to manufacturing

  of artificial waterfalls following one another along a watercourse to operate turbines and generate electricity.

  Electricity production is traditional-

  This was done using dams which would cause serious damage to the environment. These artificial waterfalls are built one after the other along a stream fed by the river water that

  this falling will operate the turbine and will go back into the pipe of another artificial waterfall to operate other turbines.

  These artificial waterfalls will preferably be built along streams with steep gradients at fairly high flow rates. They can be manufactured in the air using inexpensive materials (iron / steel / concrete) suspended on pillars of the same materials - underground with earthworks, with the same materials - in rock with tunneling - in water with the same materials as in air - or mixed manufacturing, i.e. use different manufacturing methods to arrive at the construction of an artificial waterfall. L The production of these artificial waterfalls one after the other will allow the production of large quantities of electricity

at low price.

  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention - Figure 1 shows in section artificial waterfalls in the air - Figure 2 shows in section of waterfalls

  artificial water underground or in rock.

  With reference to drawing 1, the device shown

  feel the artificial waterfall in the air this includes d: a mouth (1) where water comes from the river, a conduit (2) with a slope less than that of the watercourse (3) sufficient capacity to slide a sufficient quantity of water towards the chute (4) the conduit will be held in the air using pillars (5) the conduit ends in the chute (4) high and wide enough to drop water on the turbine (6), this being fixed

  in a room (7) accessible for monitoring.

  Referring to drawing 2, the device represents artificial waterfalls underground or in the rock. These have the same principle as those in the air, but are characterized by the earthwork that must be done or the digging in the rock. must provide an access corridor (8) connecting the part (7) of the turbine outside the use of these artificial waterfalls one after the other will allow the production of large amounts of electricity

cheaper.
