Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device which generates compressed air with very small electric power without limitation of an installation place or influence of a natural environment, and generates electric power by rotating a power generator with the compressed air.SOLUTION: A liquid 8 having constant pressure is mixed in a sealed container. A pressure sensor provided in the sealed container senses predetermined pressure to open and close motor-operated valves provided in an entrance and an exit. The above operation is repeated to generate compressed air having the same pressure as the liquid. The compressed air power generator generates electric power by rotating the power generator with thrust generated by using and supplying the compressed air to blades 4 of a hydraulic turbine power generator 3 through an injection nozzle 7.

Description

The present invention relates to an apparatus for generating electric power by rotating a generator by making compressed air from a liquid having an existing pressure with a small amount of electric power and blowing the compressed air directly onto a blade of a water turbine generator.

In the conventional vacuum pressure generator, all the vacuum chambers are evacuated using a vacuum pump. The switching valve is opened, and the turbine is driven by the momentum of air flowing into the vacuum chamber with low atmospheric pressure to generate electricity. Before the air pressure in the vacuum chamber rises, the valve is switched to the suction pipe of the other vacuum chamber to keep the air momentum constant. Some vacuum chambers whose atmospheric pressure has increased, when the switching valve is closed, push the air with a device in the chamber, operate the vacuum pump, re-vacuum, and generate a generator.
