Description

The present invention mitigates meteorological disasters by suppressing excessive evaporation of water vapor from the sea surface, which is one of the root causes of the frequent occurrence and intensification of abnormal weather, normalizes the circulation of the atmosphere, and makes effective use of water vapor. The present invention relates to a steam evaporation suppression unit, a steam evaporation suppression device using the steam evaporation suppression unit, and an artificial floating island provided with the steam evaporation suppression device.

Melting of ice at the South and North Pole, activation of submarine volcanoes, global warming, and other factors have reduced the cooling efficiency of seawater at the poles. Weather disasters such as tornadoes, typhoons, torrential rains, and heavy snowfalls are becoming more frequent and severe, and they are affecting a wide range of human societies.

Despite advances in technology in all fields, such as breakwaters, drainage facilities, and weather forecasts, excessive evaporation of water vapor from the sea surface around the equator causes frequent cyclones and increases their energy, disrupting atmospheric circulation. The reality is that many localized catastrophic meteorological disasters occur before water vapor spreads widely.

Therefore, devices disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50-9233 (Patent Document 1) and Japanese Patent No. 2727128 (Patent Document 2) are known as inventions for preventing excessive evaporation of water vapor from the sea surface. ing.

In these devices, a sheet is stretched between a plurality of floating bodies floating on the sea to prevent water vapor from evaporating from the sea surface below the sheet. The sheet is made of flexible plastic such as vinyl chloride. Therefore, it is possible to install by combining the floating body and the sheet in a folded state, transporting it over the sea, and extending it at the installation site, or by combining the sheet with the floating body arranged at a predetermined interval on the sea. , to provide a device for preventing the evaporation of water vapor from the sea surface, which is easy to assemble and highly portable.

However, each of the devices requires the installation of a large number of anchors in order to prevent drifting from the installation site and to keep the sheet stretched. If the floating body is ruddered to change the direction of the device according to the tidal current, the anchor may be installed only on the upstream side.

Moreover, each of the devices described above is designed only for the purpose of simply preventing the evaporation of water vapor from the sea surface, and no attention is paid to the effective use of water vapor from the sea surface.

In this way, the conventional device only prevents the evaporation of water vapor and does not consider moving the device from a fixed installation location. requires a lot of effort.

JP-A-50-9233 Japanese Patent No. 2727128

As a countermeasure against the source of the enormous amount of energy generated by abnormal weather, the present invention suppresses the release of water vapor that excessively evaporates over the sea near the equator into the air, thereby mitigating abnormal weather disasters and normalizing atmospheric circulation. , to store water vapor and make it available for use.

The present invention, which has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, is a steam evaporation suppression unit installed on the sea to suppress steam evaporation from the sea surface, the box having four or three side surfaces and a top surface and an open bottom surface. It consists of a body and a plurality of floats attached to the box, and the inside of the box is divided into two layers, an upper layer and a lower layer, by a guide surface inclined so as to be lowered toward one of the side surfaces. A water storage part capable of introducing water vapor evaporated from the sea surface below the box into the inside of the box and storing water condensed from the water vapor in a portion located at a low position of the guide surface in the upper layer. characterized by having

Excessive evaporation of water vapor from the sea surface is suppressed by introducing and collecting the water vapor evaporated from the sea surface on the ocean in this way. This fresh water is effectively used because it becomes water droplets and is stored in the water storage part along the side surface or the guide surface of the box.

In addition, the box is composed of a plurality of pillars erected on the float, a string-like member connecting the upper and lower parts of each pillar, and a lighting sheet that allows sunlight to pass through. The top surface is formed by the daylighting sheet attached to the string-like member, and the guide surface attaches one side of the daylighting sheet to a string-like member that spans between a predetermined side surface and the opposite side surface of the box, In the case where the other side is formed by inclining toward the water storage part, for example, by using a flexible resin daylighting sheet, it is not bulky and can be easily transported from the land to the sea. Furthermore, when the string-like member attachment part is formed on the resin-made daylighting sheet and assembled into a three-dimensional shape in advance, it is not bulky and can be easily transported from land to sea and then attached to the string-like member stretched between the pillars. This unit can be completed by simply installing the lighting sheet.

Furthermore, in the case where a light shielding part is provided above the water storage part, for example, even during the daytime, water vapor can be condensed near the light shielding part and stored in the water storage part. Can generate fresh water.

Furthermore, when the top surface of the box is characterized by being inclined so as to become higher toward the upper part of the water storage part, this inclination guides the water vapor upward, that is, toward the water storage part. , can efficiently produce fresh water.

A steam evaporation suppressing device using a steam evaporation suppressing unit is formed by connecting a plurality of the steam evaporation suppressing units. By connecting the ends of the float, the steam evaporation suppressing unit is characterized by having a disc shape as a whole.

In addition, the floats consist of three kinds of rod-shaped outer floats, intermediate floats, and inner floats. In the case of forming an annular floating row, it is possible to maintain the outer peripheral floating row and the inner peripheral floating row at equal intervals with a relatively simple structure, and the pillars erected at both ends of the intermediate peripheral floating row A string-like member for forming the guide surface can be easily provided by connecting the gap with the string-like member.

Furthermore, by arranging a plurality of the water vapor evaporation suppression units connected in the circumferential direction so as to surround the outer periphery of the water vapor evaporation suppression units connected in the circumferential direction, a ring of the water vapor evaporation suppression units connected in two or more layers is formed. In the case characterized by doing, it is possible to configure a large-sized steam evaporation suppressing device to suppress excessive steam evaporation from the sea surface in a wider range.

Further, the top surface of the box is formed such that the outer peripheral floating side is low and the inner peripheral floating side is high, or the top surface of the box is high on the outer peripheral floating side and the inner peripheral floating side. When the outer circumference is high and the inner circumference is low, the structure is suitable for land and islands near the sea, while the outer circumference is low and the inner circumference is low When the height is high, it is suitable for the ocean far away from land and islands.

Furthermore, in the case where a central float having an anchor is arranged at the center and the central float and the inner peripheral float are connected, the entire device can be improved simply by fixing the position of the central float with an anchor. Since the position can be fixed, it can be easily installed.

In addition, when the center float is equipped with at least one of a heliport, a rescue and rescue equipment, a solar power generator, a wind power generator, a hydraulic power generator, lighting equipment, a transmission and reception equipment, and a propulsion means, Security utilization and movement to arbitrary points can be made possible.

An artificial floating island using a steam evaporation suppressing device is obtained by accommodating the steam evaporation suppressing device in the holes of a large plate-shaped member having a plurality of circular holes. According to this artificial floating island, the water stored in the reservoir can be used as living water on the artificial floating island, making it possible for many people to live on the artificial floating island for a long period of time.

With this invention, it is possible to suppress excessive evaporation of water vapor from the sea, etc., and based on international cooperation, considering the number, scale, and cooperation with meteorological satellites, it is possible to move and deploy appropriately according to the season. It has the potential to mitigate and resolve the major disasters caused by abnormal weather, which is an issue.

Mitigation and adjustment of water vapor over-evaporation not only controls the frequent occurrence and intensity of tornadoes, typhoons, torrential rains and heavy snows, but also allows moderate water vapor to be diffused in the sky by high pressure, bringing rainfall and snowfall evenly and normalizing atmospheric circulation. . In addition to recovering cooling efficiency of sea water at the poles, preventing atmospheric pollution, and protecting green spaces, it can be a global disaster mitigation method by preventing excessive evaporation of water vapor around the equator.
