Abstract
An electrical power generator comprising a hollow body 1 formed of pure silver and defining an internal power generation chamber and an electrical power output terminal 10. An elongate bar of instigator material 3 is located within the power generation chamber and a light guide 6 forms a helical light path around the bar of instigator material. The instigator material comprises a mixture of Chrome Oxide, Aluminium Oxide and hydrated Aluminium Sulphate.
Description
Electrical Power Generator
This invention relates to electrical power generator.
A preferred example of the electrical power generator according to the invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic figure.
The main body 1 is a hollow cylinder tapered at one end and is formed of pure silver.
Within the cylindrical section of the body 1 is a cylindrical reaction or power generation chamber 2. The reaction chamber 2 is bounded at one end by an end wall 1 a of the body 1 and at the other end extends into a conical power direction chamber 9 within a conical end section 1 b of the body 1.
Within the reaction chamber 2 a cylindrical finger or rod 3 formed of an instigator material is located.
For clarity the structure used to locate the rod 3 within the chamber 2 is not shown in the figure.
Preferably, the rod 3 is located coaxially with the cylindrical reaction chamber 2.
The instigator material forming the rod 3 is a mixture of Chrome Oxide CR203, Aluminium Oxide AL203 and hydrated Aluminium Sulphide (AL2SO4) 3. 16H2O.
Beyond the flat end la of the body 1 there is a light chamber 4. The light chamber 4 contains four lamps 5 and one end of a light transporter or light conduit 6, preferably formed from crystalline glass. The lamps 5 and the end of the light conduit 6 are separated by a partition 7 with an aperture 7a which directs the light from the lamps 5 into the end of the light conduit 6 and along the light conduit 6.
The light conduit 6 passes through the end wall la of the body 1 and into the reaction chamber 2. The light conduit could be a single transparent element or a plurality of optical fibres.
The light conduit 6 is formed into a helical coil around the rod 3 within the reaction chamber 2 and then continues to the far end of the reaction chamber 2.
At the end of the reaction chamber 2 distant from the end wall la a cylindrical power collection and storage region 8 is formed, and the light conduit 6 ends in this region 8. On the side of the power storage region 8 remote from the reaction chamber 2 there is a conical power direction chamber 9 tampering to a point located within the tapered end section lb of the body 1.
Beyond the tapered section 1 b the body 1 has an electrical power output connector 10 adjacent the tip of the conical power direction chamber 9.
In operation light from the lamps 5 passes through the aperture 7a and into and along the light conduit 6. As the light travel along the light conduit 6 the light passes in a helical spiral wrapped around the rod 3. This light passing around the rod 3 interacts with the instigator material of the rod to generate electrical power. The generated electrical power is stored in the power storage region 8 and then travels through the power transport or direction chamber 9 to be output at the power output terminal 10.
The power output is preferably in the form of direct current or static electricity but this can be converted into alternating current if required. The necessary techniques for such conversion are well known and need not be described here.
The transport of electrical power from the power storage region 8 through the power direction chamber 9 is dependent upon electrical power being taken from the power output terminal 10. If no power is taken from the power output terminal 10 transfer of power will stop and electrical power will be stored in the power storage region 8.
In order to maintain proper operation of the machine it is necessary that the temperature remains below 26 degrees.
Some of the power available at the power output terminal 10 can be used to drive some of the lights 5 so that no input of electrical power is required to continue operation of the machine. The necessary wiring and any voltage or frequency conversion circuitry required is not shown in the drawing for clarity, but the person skilled in the art will have no difficulty in providing suitable connections and conversion circuitry.
The use of four lamps 5 is preferred but not essential. A preferred arrangement is for two of the lamps 5 to be flash lamps generating a high light intensity for a short period which can be driven by an external power source such as a battery while the remaining two lamps 5 are driven by electrical power taken from the power output terminal 10. This allows the operation of the machine to be started by supplying electrical power to the flash type lamps, the operation of the machine then being self-sustaining without requiring any further external power input to allow power generation.
The described embodiment is a preferred embodiment of the invention but it is only intended as an example and the person skilled in the art will realise that details could be changed with the scope of the present invention.
