Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for securing electric power energy from flowing energy such as tidal currents that exist in nature and prevent air pollution and global warming. As an application example 1, water is electrolyzed with electricity, oxygen and hydrogen are generated, oxygen is released into the sea, fish and shellfish are activated, and the marine ecosystem is activated. It is a thing that enriches. Even if a large amount of plankton and microorganisms are generated in the sea and oxygen shortage occurs, the occurrence of red tide and the like is prevented. Hydrogen can also be used as fuel to make drinking water. Application example 2, the open / close rotary blade portion of the tidal current power generation device is used for wind power generation, and power generation is effectively performed even from a small amount of wind power.

Next, the problems that have been involved in securing power energy are listed below.
B) In conventional hydroelectric power generation, rivers are completely dammed by dams, causing serious damage to surrounding animals and shellfish, destroying natural ecosystems, and making river basins dead.
B) Thermal power generation has generated electricity by burning a large amount of oil and coal. As a result, a large amount of exhaust gas was discharged, polluting the atmosphere, causing global warming, and all humanity on the planet was damaged. Abnormal weather continues to cause great damage not only to humans but also to animals and plants.
C) Automobiles emit exhaust gas due to the burning of oil, causing air pollution and global warming. Serious food shortages have also come to produce oil from conventional foods.
2) In nuclear power generation, there is a danger of radiation leaks, and it causes catastrophic damage not only to the local residents but also to animals and plants.
The present invention relates to a tidal current power generation apparatus that completely eliminates such danger and secures a large amount of power energy resources by obtaining the safest and most powerful natural energy possessed by running water from nature.

Conventionally, the following issues have been kept in order to obtain electric power energy.
B) In hydroelectric power generation, river basins have been destroyed by dams and ecosystems of animals and plants have been destroyed.
B) Thermal power generation has caused air pollution and global warming.
C) Exhaust gas is emitted from automobiles and the like, causing air pollution and global warming.
D) Nuclear power generation continues to have the danger of radioactivity.
This invention has been repeated to obtain power energy. The present invention relates to a tidal current power generation device developed to solve these problems and secure power energy from the energy of tidal currents in nature.

The present invention receives enormous energy such as tidal currents existing in the natural world of the earth and uses the power as a power energy resource.
B) In tidal current power generation, this device is installed below the sea surface in a place where there is natural fluidity and receives power pressure to generate power.
B) Thermal power generation uses electricity from this device to generate oxygen and hydrogen by the electrolysis of water in the application example, and to generate electricity without causing any air pollution or global warming by using oxygen and hydrogen as fuel. It is.
D) Electrification of automobiles will not cause exhaust gas or warming.
E) The danger of radioactivity can be eliminated by not using nuclear power generation.
Next, a process for obtaining electric power energy with a tidal current power generator and solving the above will be described. The tidal current generator receives the most fluid pressure by receiving the flow force at right angles on the blades rather than the screw or impeller that receives the slanted flow in a wide and gentle flow, and it is pushed backward to cause rotational motion. Therefore, the present invention opens the open / close rotary blades and receives a flow pressure so that the flow does not detour vertically between the two upper plates and the three lower plates, thereby enabling an effective rotational motion. Furthermore, since it goes in the opposite direction in the flow down, the blades are folded in two up and down, and it goes to the flow with less resistance. In the flow, seawater is received between the upper and lower blades by protrusions and springs, opened and subjected to a large flow pressure to perform rotational motion again. In the case of a single rotating blade, when one blade is receiving a flow at a right angle, the next blade is ready for receiving a flow pressure, and is always subjected to a flow pressure at a right angle and a right and left angle and detours up and down the blade. The upper and lower plates that are not allowed to perform a powerful rotational movement.
In power generation at high tide and low tide, the flow pressure caused by the tide is captured accurately and the rotating blades are rotated, and the rotational force is rotated at high speed with gears or chains to obtain electric power. Even in shallow waters, power can be generated by reliably capturing the flow pressure by opening and closing the rotating blades. The lower plate and the upper plate have an important function of preventing the flow pressure received by the rotating blades from detouring up and down the blades. This device works even if it is fixed near the sea floor with anchors or pillars, or it is floated in the sea by buoyancy and fixed in the sea with chains or wire anchors, or fixed near the sea surface where there is little influence of waves. Are the same.

In order to ensure electric power energy as in the past, this invention, like thermal power generation and automobiles, 1) does not warm the earth, 2) does not pollute the atmosphere, 3) does not destroy natural environments such as rivers, 4) radioactive contamination It does not cause Furthermore, water is electrolyzed with the electric power obtained as in “Application Example 1” to generate oxygen and hydrogen, and the oxygen is released into the sea to activate the food chain of the marine fish and shellfish to form a rich sea. Eliminates the occurrence of red tides due to shortages, forms rich seas, and eliminates dead seas such as red tides. Electric power can be used for human economic life and industrial purposes, and hydrogen can be used as a new fuel for thermal power generation. The present invention not only completely prevents air pollution and global warming, but also has the effect of generating oxygen, hydrogen, and drinking water of application examples.

The present invention is installed in the sea, in the water, on the seabed or the like. A dredging or foundation is installed on the bottom of the sea to prevent and fix the device itself, and the rotation pressure is applied to the opening and closing rotating blades, which flows between the upper and lower detour plates from a gentle flow such as tidal current. It opens and receives a flow pressure from the upstream and makes a half turn. From the downstream, the half turn is closed and the resistance is reduced to make a half turn. At this time, the upper blades are naturally lightly levitated by buoyancy, and the lower blade half opens simultaneously with the gear, and the upper and lower blades can be rotated smoothly by opening and closing simultaneously. The lower blade also rotates more smoothly by making the specific gravity of the blade itself slightly heavier than water.
Further, by attaching a spring to the blade, the impact of the blade against the stopper can be absorbed, and a small gap can be adjusted.
Further, by integrating the upper and lower blades, the specific gravity of the rising part is reduced and the specific gravity of the lowering part is increased, so that the two blades can be integrated into one, and the opening / closing movement is performed more smoothly.
Next, the operation of the present invention will be described.
It is installed in straits, rivers, estuaries, creeks where high tides occur, places where tidal currents occur, etc., receiving flow force on opening and closing rotating blades and accelerating and rotating powerful rotation force with gears, chains, etc. to generate electricity.
Next, the best method for carrying out will be described.
This tidal current power generation device is installed on the bottom of the sea such as a strait, and the flow pressure of the flowing seawater is received by the rotating blades to generate rotational motion and generate electricity. In addition, the entire device is floated in the sea using buoyancy, and is fixed with anchors, wires, etc. to obtain the flow energy from the seawater basin. By securing electric energy from the sea surface where there is little influence of waves, it is possible to realize oil-free energy and eliminate air pollution and global warming.

Next, specific examples will be described. Tidal current generators are installed at the estuary, bottom and underwater of Lake Hamana, and seawater continues to flow for about 10 hours from low tide to high tide, and continues to flow for about 10 hours from high tide to low tide. This flow is received by a tidal current power generation device to cause the blades to rotate and rotate at high speed to obtain power energy. The same applies to the surroundings of large and small islands, straits and rivers. This invention secures infinite precious energy without causing any global warming or air pollution.

Next, the industrial applicability of the tidal current power generator will be described. The development of electric energy that does not cause pollution for countries with few resources is extremely important for industries that lack electricity. It is an indispensable energy source not only for the industrial world but also for people's lives.
There are tidal currents in almost all areas around Japan, where many islands and all sides are surrounded by the sea. From the national economy, this tidal current power generation device is a very good energy pumping device, and its amount and time limit are unlimited.
