Abstract

The invention relates to a self-acting double-rotor generator’s arrangement. The basic generator 1 has the magnet-bearing drum 2 and actuates the motors 3 the motion of which is transmitted via pulleys 4 and belts 5. Similarly, the motion of the basic generator 1 is transmitted to the generator 6 supplying current of the desired form and voltage. All arrangements (the arrangements of the basic generator 1, magnet-bearing drum 2 and generator 6) are stabilized with the use of rotors (7,8) located at their top. The entire arrangement seats on the base 9 and is liable to supply power ranging from 0.18 kW to 900 MW.

Description

DESCRIPTION

"INDEPENDENT GENERATOR ARRANGEMENT"

The present invention is a modification of the no. Patent No. 1008328, filed with O.B.I. on 14.05.2013 with application number 20130100289.

THE FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The invention refers to the technical field of energy production systems and more specifically to an autonomous generator device for the production of electricity.

THE HISTORY OF THE INVENTION

The self-contained generator arrangement disclosed in the present invention with the particular characteristics it presents, has not been previously disclosed in the technology.

We live in an era where many efforts have been made to produce electricity with the smallest possible energy footprint on the environment. The continuous and unceasing use of hydrocarbons has worsened the conditions on the planet to an absolute extent, creating a number of chain changes and constantly degrading the environment itself. The available oil deposits are constantly decreasing, while the demand is constantly increasing, given the population growth at the global level. It is now a common admission that turning to alternative sources to satisfy the energy needs of the world population is now an imperative.

At the same time, the pollution caused by the widely used energy sources leads to the creation of chain reactions worsening a number of environmental factors, increasing the short-term and long-term consequences on the planet. Furthermore, the renewable energy sources used to date present low levels of efficiency, with disproportionately high installation and maintenance costs. The inability to provide fixed amounts of energy makes them simply auxiliary units always combined with other units, such as lignite or hydrocarbons.

One proposal to overcome these and other problems encountered in the current state of the art in the field of electric power generation was provided by the invention presented in patent no. 1008328. The presentation of the autonomous generator arrangement presents a number of advantages, since it does not require a permanent fuel supply for its operation, does not pollute and does not cause any kind of noise pollution. The operation of the invention showed some disadvantages, however, which this particular modified stand-alone double-flywheel generator arrangement for continuous operation has to deal with.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a self-contained dual flywheel generator arrangement which exhibits greater stability than corresponding arrangements.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a self-contained generator assembly, which is characterized by increased torque and greater ability to maintain its revolutions, further contributing to continuous energy production.

It is a further object of the invention to make the self-contained generator assembly useful that it can be manufactured, thanks to the modifications presented here, in units from 0.18 kW to 900MW.

A further object of the invention is the presentation of an autonomous generator arrangement, where each flywheel is proportional to the size of the generator, of which it is a part.

Another object of the invention is the presentation of an autonomous generator arrangement which can operate without causing pollution to the environment.

These and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the following detailed description.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art by reference to the accompanying drawings in which it is illustrated in an illustrative non-limiting manner.

Figure 1 presents in a perspective sketch an indicative application of the autonomous generator arrangement, where the double flywheel that it has is presented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED APPLICATION

Referring now to the accompanying drawings we will describe indicative applications of the autonomous generator arrangement with the double flywheel it possesses.

The autonomous generator assembly, Fig. 1, consists of a basic generator (1) with a magnetic drum (2), engaged at one end with one or more motors (3), thanks to belts (4) and pulleys (5), while on the other end it engages with the generator rotor shaft (6) in a similar way. At the output of the generator (6) a current of power and form is attributed, depending on the requirements. The operation of the basic generator (1) and the magnetic drum (2) have been thoroughly explained and are not the subject of this modification.

The starting of the generator is done indicatively, as shown in Fig. 1, thanks to two motors (3), which rotate in the same direction and engage through belts (4) and pulleys (5) with the magnetic drum (2) of of basic generator (1). In an alternative implementation, it would be possible to use a motor of equivalent power, but this would cause more power consumption during start-up and likewise it would not be as smooth.

The operation of the device in question to date has shown that the existence of vibrations created problems in its smooth operation, while the placement of a flywheel (7) on top of the generator device (6) did not substantially improve stability. Vibrations cause distortions, especially when operation sizes are increased, resulting in less than desirable performance. For this reason, it becomes imperative to place a second flywheel (8) on top of the main generator assembly (1). The flywheel (8) stabilizes the autonomous generator assembly as a whole, both during operation and during start-up. In addition, the flywheel (8) ensures that the autonomous generator assembly will display a greater torque and its revolutions will remain stable throughout its operation. For further stability, the overall arrangement is based on a base (9), vertically or horizontally.

As it becomes obvious, the frills (7), (8) can be of similar dimensions, but also different from each other, if this is deemed necessary. In addition, their dimensions as well as their weight must always be proportional to the corresponding generator arrangement, satisfying the construction requirements that will be presented. The existence of the flywheels (7), (8) and the consequent stability presented by the autonomous generator assembly, now allows us to manufacture assemblies from 0.18kW to 900MW.

It should be noted at this point that the description of the invention was carried out with reference to illustrative application examples, to which it is not limited. Therefore, any change or modification regarding the shape, dimensions, materials used and the corresponding construction and assembly components, as long as they do not constitute a new inventive step and do not contribute to the technical development of what is already known, are considered included in the purposes and goals of of this invention.

Claims (1)

1. Autonomous generator assembly, consisting of a basic generator (1), with a magnetic drum (2), starting from an engine (3), thanks to belts (4) and pulleys (5) transmitting the movement to a generator (6), characterized since it is stabilized by flywheels (7), (8) on top of the generator (6) and the main generator (1).
