Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems that solar batteries are widely used as energy saving devices for supplying electric power to houses, instead of electric power currently supplied to general houses and business institutions by power companies, while solar water heaters as energy saving facilities for supplying heat, actually somewhat different from electricity, are currently seen on the roofs of part of general houses only for the purpose to save electric power, the solar batteries being still too expensive to be popularized in spite of the benefits of subsidies because of the recent runaway cost of oil which is considered to be up rather than down in the future according to power companies. <P>SOLUTION: Only small part of general households use electric power supplied by solar batteries or others instead of electric power supplied by power companies. This power generation device comprises a rotative power body using a natural gravity principle based on a weight difference between volatile material and liquid for really operating a generator to supply electric power to households. This aims to stably supply required electric power to general households. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention is not limited to environmental pollution on a global scale, but uses fossil fuels that have started to be worried about being exhausted as finite resources, or nuclear fuels that are problematic for post-processing. It is related to the generation technology of electric energy that applied the principles such as gravity that existed to challenge the environmental pollution and entropy to the global environment as much as possible.

Since the industrial revolution, the world has undergone remarkable development and people's lives have become richer, but the amount of electricity used in homes has been increasing rapidly in proportion to the abundance of life. In the industry, as the economy develops, production of various factories becomes more and more active, and the amount of electricity used is also increasing. In addition, even in the global CO2 problem, which is always an agenda for environmental issues, a large amount of industrial products such as chemical fertilizers and agricultural chemicals are naturally consumed if production increases even in forestry and agricultural production where CO2 must be absorbed. It involves a large amount of oil consumption and exhaust gas including intermediate routes such as production and distribution. Since these series of related factories expand their production, the amount of power used in the production factories naturally increases. Even in the distribution industry, the lighting of the store shines brightly from daytime due to intensifying competition, and customer satisfaction and luxury demands freshness, and all devices for maintaining the freshness consume large amounts of power. ing. Also, once you enter the home, a large amount of white goods that were once thought to be ideal homes now consume a large amount of power, and these expensive home appliances are also routinely bulky without any resistance. It has become an era when a large amount of waste is treated. Nowadays, it has become an era in which ordinary households need electricity of 100V to 200V, and the amount of power used exceeds 10 kW / day. Buildings have become more sophisticated and air conditioning becomes a permanent item, and in Tokyo and other places, electricity is needed as the temperature in Tokyo rises due to exhaust heat exhausted by air conditioners and the like. National roads, etc. have been developed to the extent that purification of nature is impossible, such as rainwater penetration, evaporation and heat of vaporization. The consumption of fossil fuels is increasing. The automobile industry has also developed electric vehicles as an alternative to fossil fuels, but these seemingly clean electricity sources are all derived from fossil fuels, which are finite resources, while in the world nuclear power is the cleanest energy source. Although it has certainly attracted attention, there is still no fundamental solution for the treatment of essential nuclear waste. In response to today's energy problems with many of these issues, as a power generation source that does not require finite resources that will eventually be depleted, solar water heaters that use the thermal energy of sunlight and power generated by the solar power However, as an alternative energy that can replace the current high-power situation, it is still not abundant enough to cover the power of ordinary households. There is almost no idea that the change in the state of the permanent magnet and the volatile liquid is a power source for rotation as in the present invention. Prior patents include JP-A-6-127306 and JP-A-2006-38277, which are applied to electromagnets and solar cells, and are fundamentally different from the present invention. To do. Moreover, the repetitive movement using the heat of vaporization of water such as Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-82924 is the principle of the peace bird since the Meiji period.
Today, globalization calls for soaring fossil fuels. Biomass energy is now a target of speculation, and instability of energy can cause conflicts. The fundamental solution to be screamed. However, there is still no clever idea, especially the earth-friendly biomass fuel necessary for human beings that are increasing rapidly worldwide. The food problem and the energy problem are becoming more and more complicated today, and the present invention provides a solution to these problems. One stone is thrown as one.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and its purpose is to use almost no natural resources such as fossil fuels and nuclear power, which have a significant impact on the global environment, and as a universal principle in nature since ancient times. Applying the principles recognized by, the price range for widespread use with a simple device that is as easy as possible to incorporate the sense of the times and the device as it is, with no fear of environmental pollution to the global environment. In view of this, it is intended to provide a product technology that is simple, has few failures, is easy to install, and has high durability.

The above-mentioned problems relating to the electric power that is the source of civilization can be solved by the generator of the present invention having the following configuration. In other words, it is a universal principle that does not use any fossil fuels that have started to be worried about exhaustion as finite resources, or any consumable resources such as nuclear power, which requires post-processing, and eliminates environmental pollution and entropy as much as possible to the global environment. The generator of the present invention that applies the above is a simple device that minimizes the equipment investment as much as possible by reducing the number of parts as much as possible, aiming for widespread use, and reducing the capital investment as much as possible.

By installing the power generation device of the present invention in a home or small-scale office, the annual electricity usage fee is several years. In addition to reducing household expenses and office expenses, installing multiple devices of the present invention in town factories, etc. will reduce costs and competition for SMEs that support the foundation of Japanese industry. There is a possibility that the power improvement effect is sufficient, and the export power of SMEs that once became the foundation of Japan's growth has improved again, and above all, the consumption of fossil fuel has been reduced by the amount of power generation used, and the degree to which it depends on nuclear power As a result, it will be possible to contribute to solving environmental problems such as air pollution. By spreading this technology to the world, not only environmental problems but also the basic physical strength of Japanese industry will be improved. Thing becomes, home is a technique to fulfill even Naru significant contribution to the well industry.

FIG. 1 is a side view and a front view for explaining the structure of the generator of the present invention. The structure of the generator of the present invention and its function will be described with reference to the drawings. The side view of FIG. 1 is an overall schematic side view of the present invention. The cam or clutch 3 is connected to the generator 1 to connect the gear mechanism 2 for increasing the rotational speed and the barbell set 5-1 serving as a rotational operation source. And a plurality of barbell sets 5-1 having the rotation shaft 4 as the center are set on the four rotation shafts, and are rotated clockwise in the front view of FIG. 1. In this case, when the barbell set 5-2 comes to the position of the heat source 7, it is heated by a conductive heat source body or a moving heat source body 8 derived from other places such as waste water and exhaust gas. The part 7 is heated and the volatile liquid in the liquid container at the end of the barbell entering the heating position is rapidly heated and vaporized, and the vaporized body 12 (FIG. 3) in the container passes through the inside of the conduit 11 and becomes a cavity. Move to the container 5-6 above the counter electrode , Overall lighter heating unit 5-4 located below starts to right rotation. In this case, the heat source may be a gas, liquid, or solid, but a heat source in another place may cause a difference of at least 5 ° C. or more from the surrounding environment through the conduit 8 in the heating unit 7. Following the above sequence, the volatile matter in the both-end containers of the barbell set starts to rotate clockwise due to the weight difference between the liquid 5-2 on the right side of the front view and the left gas 5-5. On the other hand, the rotational motion generates electricity by rotating the generator from the cam or clutch mechanism through the gear mechanism. Therefore, the clutch 4 or the cam may be disconnected when the electric power is unnecessary such as at night.

As a refrigerant for evaporating volatiles and causing rotational motion around the rotation axis due to the difference in weight between gas and liquid due to weight difference or a temperature difference, cold air in summer several meters below ground or winter The temperature to be used, such as hot air, can be appropriately adapted to changes in the surrounding environment. The temperature difference between the left and right barbells, which is the so-called rotation start source, can be used in a familiar environment according to the region and seasonal variations as appropriate. However, it is more effective if the temperature difference is 10 ° C or more. is there. For example, in winter Hokkaido and the like, it is sufficient to use a warm waste heat that is higher than the outside air below zero, or a temperature difference with a warm underground heat of 10 ° C or more that is several meters below the ground. For example, the liquid tank 5-2 or 5-3 in FIG. 1 filled with about 1/3 of a volatile liquid such as ethyl methyl ether having a boiling point of about 11 ° C. is a liquid state body, but is heated in the tank at the position 5-4. As soon as the vaporization starts, the vaporized body begins to vaporize and move to the counter electrode side 5-6. When the vaporized body moves, it is cooled by the ambient temperature, becomes liquefied, becomes heavy, and rotates in the direction 5-2. The liquid tank from Rotate moves 5-3 and 5-4 and is heated again to become a gas, lightens and moves to the position of the tank 5-5. Simultaneously, the liquefaction proceeds and the rotational motion starts due to the weight difference between the gas and the liquid in the left and right tanks. Normally, the volatile liquid filling side tank inside the barbell is filled with about 1/3 of the volatile liquid, and the ether air vapor heavier than the air enters the hollow tank on the one side of the counter electrode. It is adjusted with the cushion tank 15 that also serves. This cushion tank 15 is telescopic and also serves as a pressure regulator, and is also a pressure regulating valve, and has a storage bag function of a vaporized body that expands several hundred times. In addition, the barbell set body should have a little pressure resistance. At the same time, the material of the barbell can be any material that does not erode into the encapsulated liquid, whether it is a synthetic material or a metal material. At the same time, the rotation speed becomes faster if the contact area between the liquid tank and the heating or refrigerant tank is increased as much as possible, or fins are added as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 to increase the thermal efficiency. If the arm of the connecting pipe is extended for insufficient power, the rotational moment increases. The principle is the same whether the rotation direction is clockwise or counterclockwise, but the point is to match the rotation direction of the generator. The flywheel 9 should be attached if possible to stabilize the rotation of the generator and improve the sustainability.

The above is the power generation principle of the present invention. If there is excess heat such as exhaust heat, it can be used to increase the temperature of the heating unit 7 and to increase the number of rotations accordingly. In temperate regions, geothermal heat is around 11 ° C even in winter and this temperature can be used. To reverse the temperature difference between night and day, a switch damper with a sensor may be used. Further, alcohol or an aqueous solution may be used instead of the ether-based liquid if there is a lot of exhaust heat. In order to increase the evaporation efficiency, it is more effective to immerse the liquid tank of the barbell in a concavo-convex container for increasing the surface area instead of a sphere. Further, in order to increase the amount of power generation, if the wind bodies of the barbell set 5-1 are arranged in parallel and set so as to operate at different timings, the continuity is increased and the rotation is further stabilized by the flywheel 9. When filling the barbell set with a volatile liquid, it is more efficient to replace the internal air with a volatile gas as much as possible.

The examples illustrate the invention.
Generator structure: Going around the structural model store in Fig. 1 and plastic model stores and home centers, purchasing transparent plastic containers, plastic pipes, motors with gears and gears, ether is canned from a trading company, almost the same model as in Fig. 1 As a result of testing and mounting the barbell set, it was found that the barbell set requires considerable sophistication and size enlargement, but the operation of the barbell set caused the ammeter needle to operate greatly and the power generation capacity to be sufficient It was confirmed that there was.

As described above, the amount of electricity consumed in a general household is sufficient if it is about 5 to 10 kW / h, and the current annual electricity bill can be amortized for several years by using the set of the present invention device. In addition to contributing to the reduction of household expenses, the installation of multiple large generators of the present invention in the industry also contributes to the cost reduction of SMEs that support the foundation of Japanese industry. Export capability will improve, and above all, the consumption of fossil fuel will be reduced, the degree of reliance on nuclear power will be reduced, and it will be possible to contribute to the resolution of environmental problems such as air pollution. As a result, the basic physical strength of Japanese industry will be improved as well as environmental problems. It is expected to be art.

It is the side view and front view of the structure outline regarding the electric power generating apparatus of this invention. It is a side view of a state in which a liquid tank rotates and enters a heating unit and is heated by a heat source, a circulating heat source or a conduction heat source. Since the liquid or gas in the both ends of the barbell moves, it is connected by a flexible material pipe, and the bag in the center part is an elastic cushion tank that accommodates gas The barbell is in a state where the center of gravity of the liquid tank is shifted to the right from the vertical center line in order to automatically activate clockwise rotation from a vertical stationary state.
