Description

  The present invention arranges a pipeline using the inverse siphon principle from a high-pressure tank, closes the whole, causes a fluid such as water to flow and circulate through the pipeline from the high-pressure tank, and installs a power generator in the middle of the pipeline. The present invention relates to a hydrodynamic power generation method and a hydrodynamic power generation apparatus in which power generation is performed.

Generally speaking, for example, a hydroelectric power generator, a wind power generator, a thermal power generator, a nuclear power generator, and a solar (solar) power generator are known. Among them, those using natural energy are: A hydroelectric power generation device, a wind power generation device, and a solar power generation device.
Wind power generators can generate electricity only when the wind is blowing, and solar power generators can only generate electricity during the daytime when the sun is out, both of which depend on weather conditions. Therefore, it can be used only for auxiliary power supply, and cannot be applied to stable power supply throughout the year.

  Hydroelectric power generation equipment uses a flow pressure that drops and flows water from a specified height, and for that purpose, a dam that can dam the river and store the required amount of water is created. A flow pipe for flowing water is disposed with a height difference of 30 m or more, and the turbine is driven using the flow pressure flowing through the pipe to generate power, and the power supply is stable. Excellent in terms.

  By the way, a hydroelectric power generation device can only construct a power generation facility, that is, a power plant, in a mountainous area where there is a river with a considerable amount of water and a difference in elevation. It is subject to restrictions.

  In that regard, fossil fuels are used to burn and produce water vapor, and thermal power generation equipment that generates electricity by driving the turbine by injection of the water vapor and nuclear fuel such as plutonium are used to generate water vapor in the same way. The nuclear power generation equipment that drives the power plant is superior in that it can be built even on flat land that is not constrained by the location conditions.

Moreover, what generates electric power using the principle of siphon is known. In this power generation, in a place where water flow continues from upstream to downstream, such as a movable weir, estuary weir, and fixed weir, a first water conduit according to the siphon principle is disposed from upstream to downstream, and the first water conduit Is partly thinner, and a power generation device is provided in this part, and power is generated by increasing the flow speed in the thinner part.

  However, even in power generation using the principle of siphon, there is still a river with a large amount of water, and it is necessary to provide a weir in that river, and a water conduit that uses the principle of siphon is arranged across the weir. It is easy to install, but in the case of a river with a considerable amount of water, a bank with a considerably high height is constructed on both banks in consideration of the increase in rainfall during rainfall. The siphon principle cannot be used because the drain side end opens substantially higher than the river surface, and the drain side end of the water conduit that uses the siphon principle opens at a position lower than the weir. Therefore, the place where the power generator is installed is inevitably limited to the riverbank or the riverbed below the weir, but in the situation where it is not possible to take measures when the water increases due to rain, I ca n’t actually do it There is a problem.

  In addition, thermal power generation requires a large amount of fossil fuel, which not only increases the cost of power generation, but also has a problem of polluting the environment by burning fossil fuel. In addition, nuclear power generation uses nuclear fuel such as plutonium, so there are problems with power generation facilities such as radiation countermeasures and safety measures around them, and strict storage and regeneration facilities for nuclear fuel are also necessary. In particular, there is a problem that the cost becomes high.

Examples of the fluid in the present invention include water (including fresh water and seawater) and oil (including viscous heavy oil).

  A hydrodynamic power generation method and a power generation apparatus thereof according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 schematically shows the principle of hydrodynamic power generation according to the first embodiment. Is connected to the tornado flow generating means 2 in communication with the tornado flow generating means 2, a cylindrical tank or square cylinder type pressurized tank 1 of a required size, a tornado flow generating means 2 disposed in the pressurized tank 1. The circulation means 3 is composed of a fluid circulation means 3 and a power generation means 4 provided in a part of the circulation means 3. This circulation means can be basically called a pipeline, and the circulation means 3 is the bottom of the pressurized tank 1. The free end side of the circulating means 3 is suspended at a position facing the tornado flow generating means 2 so that the fluid is led out using the principle of reverse siphon and discharged from the upper part of the pressurized tank 1 with an ejector action. 3a is provided It is disposed by mouth.

  The tornado flow generating means 2 is composed of a straight pipe part 5 and a funnel part 6 formed on the straight pipe part 5, and the opening angle of the funnel part 6 is set to about 45 °. Further, the circulation means 3 is a tube or pipe having a required diameter, and a tornado flow generation assisting means 7 branched by a small-diameter pipe in the middle of the tube or pipe and downstream from the power generation means 4. Ejector assisting means 8 is provided, and these means are provided with small pumps 9 and 10 respectively.

  The tornado flow generation assisting means 7 is opened with its free end portion 7a inclined to the funnel portion 6 of the tornado flow generation means 2 so as to follow the circumferential direction, and the ejector assisting means 8 has a free end portion 8a side thereof. The circulating means 3 is passed through the drooping portion 3a on the free end side and opened in the interior thereof.

  The pressurized tank 1 is provided with a fluid supply pipe 11 for supplying a fluid, and the fluid supply pipe 11 is provided with a liquid supply pump 12. An air supply pipe 14 for supplying gas is disposed, and the air supply pipe 14 is provided with a compressor 15. For example, the pressurized tank 1 is a cylindrical type having a diameter of 1500 to 2500 mm and a height of 3000 to 5000 mm. The straight pipe portion 5 of the tornado flow generating means 2 has a diameter of about 700 to 1000 mm, the diameter of the tube or pipe of the circulating means is about 600 to 900 mm, and the tornado flow generation assisting means 7 and the ejector assisting means 8 The diameter is approximately 80 mm. An acceleration / rectification means 13 for accelerating and rectifying a fluid called a guide vane is provided between the tornado flow generation means 2 and the power generation means 4 provided in the circulation means 3, preferably immediately before the power generation means 4. is there.

  In the power generation apparatus configured as described above, first, the pump 12 is driven, and a predetermined amount of the fluid 17 is injected or charged into the pressurized tank 1 via the fluid supply pipe 11 and stored. In this embodiment, an example in which water is used as the fluid will be described. In order to prevent air from remaining in the circulation means 3, the tornado flow generation assisting means 7, and the ejector assisting means 8 during the injection or injection of water, the small pumps 9 and 10 are respectively driven and applied. Water is caused to flow from the pressure tank 1 to the circulation means 3 via the tornado flow generation means 2 to exhaust the air inside.

After the required amount of water is injected or charged, the pressurized tank 1 is closed by stopping the liquid supply pump 12 of the fluid supply pipe 11, and the compressor 15 is driven to supply air into the pressurized tank 1. Feed in and pressurize. This pressurization is approximately ² to 5 kg / m ² , and by applying such pressurization, a bellows effect occurs in the pressurization tank 1, and the actual water surface in the pressurization tank 1 is generated by the bellows effect. It is the same reason that the theoretical water level exists 20 to 50m above.

  Then, the water injected into the pressurized tank 1 flows to the circulation means 3 via the tornado flow generation means 2 by the inverse siphon principle, and the height of the drooping portion 3a on the free end side of the circulation means 3 is Even if it is 1.5 to 5.0 m, the theoretical water level due to the sedimentation effect is higher by 20 to 50 m, so the water is inevitably caused by the difference in height of the hanging part 3 a from the free end side of the circulation means 3. It will flow down.

  This flow of water from the drooping portion 3a causes a kind of ejector action, and the ejector action urges the water flow to the tornado flow generating means 2. In addition, the tornado flow generation assisting means 7 and the ejector assisting means 8 are driven to further urge the water flow.

  That is, the water flow discharged from or ejected from the free end portion 8a of the ejector assisting means 8 is added to the water flow flowing down from the hanging portion 3a of the circulation means 3, thereby generating a water flow in which the ejector action is doubled. In the tornado flow generating means 2, a tornado flow is inevitably generated in the upper funnel portion 6 by generating a water flow from the funnel portion 6 to the straight pipe portion 5. In addition to this, the tornado flow generation assisting means 7. Since the water discharged or spouted from the free end portion 7a is directed in the circumferential direction of the funnel portion 6, the tornado flow is further urged and becomes strong, and the direct action is achieved by the synergistic effect of the ejector action and the tornado flow. The water flow flowing from the pipe part 5 to the circulation means 3 flows with strong flow velocity energy.

  Water flowing with strong flow velocity energy flows into the circulation means 3 from the straight pipe portion 5, but is rectified and accelerated by the acceleration / rectification means 13 located immediately before it, and is provided in the middle of the circulation means 3. However, the flow velocity energy consumed by the power generation means 4 is about 50 to 60%, and the remaining flow velocity energy circulates in the circulation means 3 and droops again. The tornado flow generating means 2 is supplied to the tornado flow generating means 2 with the ejector action urged from the section 3a, and the tornado flow is also urged in the tornado generating means 2 to circulate as a powerful flow velocity energy.

  In short, the pressurized tank 1 and the circulating means 3 are in a closed (closed loop) state, but a predetermined pressure is applied to the pressurized tank 1 in advance, and a tornado flow generating means 2 is provided therein, Since the free end portion of the circulation means 3 is provided with a drooping portion that flows down from a position higher than the water level of the fluid stored in the pressurized tank 1 with a drop, the fluid circulates in the closed state. The tornado flow generation assisting means 7 and the ejector assisting means 8 are added to this to amplify the flow velocity energy of the water flow. In particular, the tornado flow has a powerful flow velocity energy as is well known. It has power and generates power using this powerful flow velocity energy.

  Accordingly, the pressurized tank 1 has a function of greatly amplifying the flow velocity energy of the fluid circulating in the closed state, and the fluid velocity energy amplification of the fluid including the pressurizing means, the ejector action, and the tornado flow generating means 2. It can be said to be a device, and the amplification is increased by adding acceleration / rectifying means.

  FIG. 2 shows a power generator according to the second embodiment. The illustrated power generation apparatus is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle in a side view. In the second embodiment, a plurality (two) of the power generators of the first embodiment are connected to generate power. In this power generator, the tornado flow generating means 2 disposed in the pressurized tank, the fluid supply pipe 11 for supplying the fluid, and the air supply pipe 14 for supplying the gas are provided. Since they are the same as those in the first embodiment, their illustration and description are omitted, and only the components that are visible from the outside are described by attaching the same reference numerals to the same portions as those in the first embodiment.

  In the power generation apparatus according to the second embodiment, two pressurized tanks 1 and 1a are installed in a state of being close to each other with a predetermined interval, and the circulation means 3 taken out from the bottom of one pressurized tank 1 It extends to the upper part of the pressure tank 1a, and its free end is opened as a hanging part 3a at a position facing the tornado flow generating means arranged in the pressurized tank 1a.

  A power generation means 4 is provided in the middle of the circulation means 3, and a tornado flow generation assisting means 7 and an ejector assisting means 8 that are branched from the downstream side of the power generation means 4 by small diameter pipes, respectively, and The configuration in which the small pumps 9 and 10 are provided, and the acceleration / rectifying means 13 is provided is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  Further, the tornado flow generation assisting means 7 has a free end that is inclined and opened in the circumferential direction in the funnel portion of the tornado flow generation means disposed in the pressurized tank 1a, and an ejector assisting means. 8 is the same as that of the first embodiment in that the free end side is penetrated through the hanging portion 3a on the free end side of the circulation means 3 and opened in the inside thereof.

  Further, the circulating means 3A taken out from the bottom of the other pressurized tank 1a extends to the upper part of the one pressurized tank 1, and the free end side thereof is a tornado disposed in the pressurized tank 1. The hanging part 3b is opened at a position facing the flow generating means.

  A power generation means 4A is provided in the middle of the circulation means 3A, and a tornado flow generation assisting means 7A and an ejector assisting means 8A each branched by a small-diameter pipe are provided downstream from the power generation means 4A, and The small pumps 9A and 10A are provided, the acceleration / rectifying means 13A is provided, and the tornado flow generation assisting means 7A is a funnel of the tornado flow generation means having a free end disposed in the pressurized tank 1. The ejector assisting means 8A has a free end side penetrating through a drooping portion 3b on the free end side of the circulating means 3A and opened to the inside thereof. In point, the structure is substantially the same as in the first embodiment.

  In short, the power generator in the second embodiment has two pressurized tanks 1, 1 a arranged side by side, and the circulation means 3, 3 A taken out from the bottom of each pressurized tank 1, 1 a is formed into an 8-shaped or mutual shape. It is configured to cross and communicate with each other in a ripened state, and is configured such that the same fluid circulates between the two pressurized tanks 1 and 1a.

In the power generator of the second embodiment configured as described above, as in the first embodiment, a required amount of water is injected or introduced as a fluid in both the pressurized tanks 1 and 1a and stored. The tanks 1 and 1a are hermetically sealed, and air is sent into the pressurized tanks 1 and 1a so that the inside thereof is brought into a pressurized state of approximately ² to 5 kg / m ² . By applying such pressurization, a bellows effect is generated in both pressurization tanks 1 and 1a. Due to the bellows effect, the theoretical water level is 20 to 50 m above the actual water level in each pressurization tank 1 and 1a. Will exist.

  In such a state, the water injected into one pressurized tank 1 flows to the circulation means 3 via the tornado flow generating means by the inverse siphon principle, and the drooping portion on the free end side of the circulation means 3 Even if the height of 3a is 1.5 to 5.0 m above the water surface of the other pressurized tank 1a, the theoretical water level due to the sinking effect is higher by 20 to 50 m. Water inevitably flows down from the free end portion side due to the height difference of the hanging portion 3a, and flows to the other pressurized tank 1a side.

  Conversely, the water injected into the other pressurized tank 1a flows to the circulation means 3A via the tornado flow generating means according to the inverse siphon principle, and the height of the drooping portion 3b on the free end side of the circulation means 3A is increased. However, even if it is 1.5 to 5.0 m above the water surface of one pressurized tank 1, the theoretical water level due to the sinking effect is higher by 20 to 50 m, so the free end of the circulating means 3A Water inevitably flows down due to the height difference of the hanging part 3b from the side, and flows to the one pressurized tank 1 side.

  Then, the flow of water from both the drooping lower portions 3a and 3b causes an ejector action in the two pressurized tanks 1 and 1a, respectively. The ejector action causes water to flow to each tornado flow generating means. It will be. In addition, since each tornado flow generation assisting means 7, 7A and ejector assisting means 8, 8A are driven to further energize the flow of water, both pressures are applied by the synergistic effect of the ejector action and the tornado flow. The water flow flowing through the circulation means 3 and 3A disposed between the tanks 1 and 1a flows with strong flow velocity energy. The theory that the water flow having this strong flow velocity energy is generated is the same as in the first embodiment.

  The water flowing with this powerful flow velocity energy acts on the power generation means 4, 4A provided in the middle of the circulation means 3, 3A to generate power, but is consumed by these power generation means 4, 4A. The flow velocity energy is about 50 to 60%, and the remaining flow velocity energy circulates in the circulation means 3 and 3A, and the tornadoes in the pressurized tanks 1 and 1a with the ejector action urged from the hanging portions 3a and 3b again. It is supplied to the flow generating means, and the tornado generating means is also energized in each of the tornado generating means to become strong flow velocity energy and circulate between the pressurized tanks 1 and 1a.

  Therefore, both the pressurized tanks 1 and 1a have a function of greatly amplifying the flow velocity energy of the fluid circulating in a closed (closed loop) state, respectively. The pressurizing means, the ejector action and the tornado flow generating means It can be said that it is a fluid flow velocity energy amplification device.

  Further, FIG. 3 shows a power generator according to the third embodiment. In addition, the electric power generation apparatus of illustration is the schematic which showed the principle planarly. The third embodiment shows an example in which more power generation apparatuses of the first embodiment are connected, and, for example, four are connected to generate power. In this power generation device, since the fluid supply pipe 11 for supplying the fluid into the pressurized tank and the air supply pipe 14 for supplying the gas are disposed, it is the same as in the first embodiment. The illustration and description thereof will be omitted, and the same parts as those in the first and second embodiments will be described with the same reference numerals.

  In the power generation apparatus according to the third embodiment, four pressurized tanks 1, 1 a, 1 b, 1 c are installed in a state of being close to each other with a predetermined interval, and the circulation means 3 taken out from the bottom of one pressurized tank 1 is The free end portion is extended to the upper part of another adjacent pressurized tank 1a, and the free end side is opened as a hanging part 3a at a position facing the tornado flow generating means disposed in the pressurized tank 1a. It is arranged.

  Further, the circulation means 3A taken out from the bottom of the other one pressurized tank 1a is further extended to the upper part of the other adjacent one pressurized tank 1b, and its free end side is inside the pressurized tank 1b. The circulating means 3B, which is opened as a hanging part 3b at a position facing the tornado flow generating means arranged in the above, and is sequentially taken out from the pressurized tank 1b in the same manner, is placed on the upper part of the next pressurized tank 1c. The circulation means 3C opened as the hanging part 3c and taken out from the pressurized tank 1c is opened as the hanging part 3d above the first pressurized tank 1. In short, when a plurality of pressurized tanks are arranged side by side in the adjacent state, it is sufficient that they are sequentially connected by the circulation means and connected in a loop shape as a whole.

  In addition, power generation means 4 to 4C are provided in the middle of the circulation means 3 to 3C, respectively, and the tornado flow generation assisting means and the ejector assisting branched from the downstream sides of the respective power generation means 4 to 4C with small diameter pipes. The configuration in which the small pump is provided in each of the means is the same as that in the first and second embodiments, and the description thereof is duplicated, and therefore the illustration and description thereof are omitted.

  In short, the power generator in Example 3 has four pressurizing tanks 1 to 1c juxtaposed in an adjacent state, and the circulation means 3 to 3C taken out from the bottom of each pressurizing tank 1 to 1c are subjected to the following addition. The whole is connected to the upper part of the pressure tank in order to be closed (closed loop) and communicated, and the same fluid is circulated between the plurality of pressurized tanks 1 to 1c. Needless to say, the number of pressurized tanks is not limited to four, and three or five or more pressure tanks can be connected in the same manner.

In the power generator of Example 3 configured in this way, a required amount of water is injected or introduced as a fluid into each of the pressurized tanks 1 to 1c as in Examples 1 and 2, and stored. each pressure tank 1～1C was tightly sealed, and the inside under pressure of approximately 2~5Kg / ^{m 2} by feeding air respectively in each pressure tank 1～1C. By performing such pressurization, a bellows effect is generated in each pressurization tank 1-1c, and the theoretical water level is 20-50m above the actual water level in each pressurization tank 1-1c by the bellow effect. Will exist.

  In such a state, the water injected into one pressurized tank 1 flows to the circulation means 3 through the tornado flow generating means by the inverse siphon principle, and the drooping part on the free end side of the circulation means 3 Even if the height of 3a is 1.5 to 5.0 m above the water surface of the other pressurized tank 1a, the theoretical water level due to the sedimentation effect is higher by 20 to 50 m. Water inevitably flows from the free end side of the means 3 due to the height difference of the hanging part 3a, and flows to the other pressurized tank 1a side.

  Thus, the water injected into the adjacent pressurized tank 1a flows from the circulating means 3A to the next pressurized tank 1b through the tornado flow generating means by the inverse siphon principle, and sequentially circulates the pressurized tank 1b. The water flows from 3B to the next pressurized tank 1c, and the water from the circulation means 3C of the pressurized tank 1c flows to the first pressurized tank 1 side. These water flows are carried out almost simultaneously, and each of the pressurized tanks 1 to 1c has a theoretical water level higher by 20 to 50 m due to the bell effect, so that the circulation means 3 to 3C are free. Water inevitably flows into the next pressurized tank due to the height difference of the hanging parts 3a to 3d from the end side.

  The flow of water from the drooping portions 3a to 3d causes an ejector action in each of the pressurized tanks 1 to 1c, and the flow of water is applied to each tornado flow generating means by the ejector action. It will be. In addition, since each tornado flow generation assisting means and the ejector assisting means are driven to further energize the flow of water, the adjacent pressurized tanks 1 to 1c are caused by the synergistic effect of the ejector action and the tornado flow. The water flow flowing through each of the circulation means 3 to 3C disposed between them has a strong flow velocity energy, and acts on the power generation means 4 to 4C provided in the middle of each of the circulation means 3 to 3C to generate power. It is. The theory that the water flow having the strong flow velocity energy is generated and the flow velocity energy consumed by each of the power generation means 4 to 4C are substantially the same as those described in the first embodiment.

  Next, FIG. 4 shows a power generator according to the fourth embodiment. The illustrated power generator is a schematic diagram showing the principle in a plan view. In the second embodiment, a plurality of power generation means are driven using a single pressurized tank to generate power, and the power generation efficiency is improved.

  That is, the power generation device is generally connected to the square cylinder-type pressurized tank 21 of a required size, the tornado flow generating means 22 disposed in the pressurized tank 21, and the tornado flow generating means 22. A plurality of, for example, four fluid circulating means 23A, 23B, 23C, 23D connected to each other, and power generating means 24A, 24B, 24C, 24D provided in each of the circulating means 23A, 23B, 23C, 23D, respectively.
