GR1009116B - Hydro-turbine - Google Patents

Abstract

Novelty: a power-generating hydro-turbine is disclosed. Constitution: the waterfall tube 1, the truncated cone-shaped recipient 2 furnished with the water discharge aperture 4 and the hydro-turbine which has the form of an endless screw and is equipped with blades having the same inclination with the walls of the above recipient into which said hydro-turbine is placed. Purpose: generation of power which is higher than that produced by hydro-turbines exploiting the same water supply and the same waterfall hypsometric difference. Advantage: exploitation of the dynamic and kinetic energy of the waterfall from the tube 1 (at the entry of the blades) as well as of the kinetic energy of the water turbine at the exit of the blades.

Description

HYDRO TURBINE

The invention refers to a hydro turbine which consists of a container that has the shape of a truncated cone with a hole in its lower part. Inside the conical container, the water turbine is placed so that its axis passes through the center of the hole, but is far enough from the edges of the hole to allow the water to run off.

Hydroelectric power generation turbines take advantage of the flow and elevation difference of the water. Water has kinetic energy only at its inlet to the action hydroturbines and reduced kinetic energy and pressure from inlet to outlet in the feedback hydroturbines.

The advantage of this invention is that it takes advantage of the supply, the altitude difference and the kinetic energy of the water vortex.

The hydro turbine according to the present invention has the characteristic that the water flows through a pipe which narrows at the end which terminates in the upper part of the container at an angle. Falling water at an angle in the truncated cone-shaped container creates a vortex which is enhanced by the Coriolis force due to the water flowing down the container. The shape of the container helps to create and maintain the vortex which has the shape of a cyclone. The center of the vortex is created on the vertical axis and in the center of the hole of the container. We place a hydro turbine inside the container, which has the shape of an endless screw. The blades of the hydro turbine follow the slope of the container and are far away from its walls. The hydro turbine receives the force of the waterfall in its upper part and the force of the water vortex along its entire length. The maximum rotational force of the vortex is exerted at the bottom of the hydroturbine due to the greater water pressure and the Coriolis force.

The hydro turbine is simple to build and has little damage because the water molecules rotate in the same direction and speed as the hydro turbine, resulting in less friction of the blades

The hydro turbine shaft located in the center of the vessel passes through the center of the drain hole at the bottom of the vessel and extends to its upper end to receive the generator.

Figure 1 shows a vertical section of the hydro turbine. It consists of the downpipe (1), the truncated cone-shaped container (2) with the drainage hole (4) at the bottom and the worm-shaped water turbine (3).
