Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device that generates electricity using ocean currents, waves, and other natural ocean phenomena, and in particular, it does not have to worry about environmental problems like nuclear power generation, and it can generate electricity using coal or oil. It has a very simple structure and can generate effective power without worrying about the resource problems that would occur in other countries, and is especially suitable for countries like Japan, which are surrounded by ocean on all sides. The aim is to provide the most suitable equipment for our country, which is in a situation where resources are scarce.

Therefore, the special purpose of this invention is to provide a power generation tank having a vertical flow path at the bottom and a seawater receiving tank at the top, a power generation section provided near the bottom end of the flow path, and a power generation tank that is equipped with a power generation tank that has a vertical flow path at the bottom and a seawater receiving tank at the top, a power generation section provided near the bottom end of the flow path, The present invention has a drainage means for discharging seawater in the seawater tank to the outside by utilizing capillary phenomenon.

The implementation plan shown in the drawings will be explained in detail below.

The drawing shows an example of a case where this device is installed on the coast, and (1) is a huge power generation tank.

This power generation tank (1) has an extreme funnel shape as a whole and has a seawater resistant structure.

The upper part of the funnel shape is made as large as possible into a cylindrical shape, and the seawater receiving tank (2) is formed by including the narrow part.

A communication passage (3) is formed in the center of the bottom of the seawater receiving tank (2), and the narrowest passage (4) is formed at the bottom from this communication passage (3), and is long (deep) and extends vertically. .

That style! The lower end of (4) is open and high pressure seawater flows in from here.

(5) is a power generation unit installed inside the lower end of the vessel, which transmits power to the sea. (6) A filter attached to the lower end of the flow path (4).

On the other hand, the outer periphery of the seawater receiving tank (2) is equipped with the same wheel (7) that rotates according to the wave motion, and the inner periphery of the seawater receiving tank (2) is equipped with a drainage pump (P ) is provided, and this pump side) is connected to the water suction pipe (8) extending to the bottom.
) and a drain pipe (9) extending to the outside.

Also, a near compressor (0
) is installed, and this compressor (0) discharges intermittent compressed air into the upper part of the flow path (4) through the pulp (V) and removes some or all of the seawater rising in the flow path (4). Water pipe Q
Drain water to the outside of the tank (1) through Q. In addition, α1l
This is a book for fixing the tank (1) in a fixed position.

Therefore, according to the illustrated embodiment, deep high-pressure seawater continues to rise in the power generation tank (1) through the filter (6), the power generation section (5), and the flow path (4), and is activated by wave motion. By sequentially discharging water through a pump (P), it becomes possible to generate electricity using both natural phenomena of water pressure and waves.

In this case, if compressed air is applied to the water discharge pipe α0, drainage will be promoted with more force.

Although wave motion is used in the above example, seawater current, wind power, or the well-known capillary action may be used alternatively or in combination.

In addition, seawater has tidal phenomena, so this tidal difference can also be used in combination for drainage.

In this case, the tank (1) is fixed at the top and bottom, and a drain pipe with pulp is set in the vicinity just above the low tide level.

According to this invention, it has become possible to provide an epoch-making power generation device that does not need to worry about environmental problems or resource problems at all.
