Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate generation of a power, by a method wherein, when a floating ship contained in an elongated water tank is sunk and positioned to a lower end, a high pressure air is injected in the floating ship to float that ship, and enegy produced during floating is fetched as a power by means of a wire rope. CONSTITUTION:A floating ship 8 is contained in an elongated water tank 4 with a depth of, for example, 200mm so that the ship can freely sink and float, and when the floating ship 8 is sunk under gravity and located to a lowermost position, a high pressure air in a high pressure air chamber 7 is injected in the floating ship 8 through an air injection port 6. This causes the floating ship 8 to float, the floating movement causes rotation of a power axle 1 by means of a wire rope 3 run around the axle in a well bucket manner to drive a generator located on the axle 1. The floating ship 8, raises to an uppermost position, is sunk agains with a high pressure air exhausted as a result of an air exhaust port 5, formed in the upper part of the ship, being automatically opened. The high pressure air 5 exhausted through the air exhaust port 5 is compressed again by a compressor method in an upper machine room to perform reflux of the high pressure air to the high pressure air chamber 7.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] First, let me explain by giving an example of the size of an institution.

(Figure 1) (4) Water tank has a depth of approximately 200 meters and a diameter of 12 mm.
If the diameter of the U.S. floating boat is 11 meters and the depth is 20 meters, the buoyancy of the U.S. floating boat will be approximately 3,000 tons. This floating boat is raised and lowered in a crane style and power is obtained by operating a power axle using a wire rope (Figure 5) (see Figure 5).Several dozen wire ropes and eight or more wire ropes are used. In addition, the wire and chain are fastened at the top of the floating boat at both ends to form a ring, and the lower part is attached to a pulley at the bottom of the water tank.The floating boat should be constructed as lightly as possible, and rails should be firmly installed inside the tank on all sides. Attach the pulley up and down toward the ship so that it moves stably (not shown in the drawing).When the ship sinks (7)
(shown at the bottom of tank A). Qo's large high-pressure air chamber is more than twice as wide as the ship's air chamber, and it communicates with the high-pressure air chamber in (7).When the ship sinks and air is injected, the water pressure is 20, so the pressure is high. The pressure in the air chamber must be at least 35 and must remain at least 23 at the end of the injection into the ship. The speed at which the ship surfaced was 5 m1.
In terms of time, subtracting the 200 m depth of the water tank and the 20 m depth of the ship, it will take 36 hours to operate for 180 m.When the ship floats for more than 5 m per hour, there is still surplus power left in the generator. It is better to increase the number of The boat's surfacing time may be 3 meters per hour, or it can be adjusted between 5 meters and 3 meters.

Next, we will explain the operation of this engine.

When a ship receives high-pressure air, as it rises, the pressure decreases as it rises, and the air is gradually exhausted. When the ship ascends to the surface, the air is discharged from the ship's air outlet in (5), and the air is received in the onboard air chamber. This air is compressed at (Fig. 6) and sent to the QO's large high-pressure air chamber. to restore the high pressure before air injection. This allows high-pressure air to be recycled. In order to cool down the heat of the compressed air, piping is installed in the water tank below the air compression chamber in each chamber to absorb the heat of compression. The water in this tank is pumped up and circulated from the bottom of AB tank.

The advantage of this engine is that it does not use oil, coal, uranium, etc., so there is no pollution. It can be constructed where it is needed, so fewer power lines are needed.

[Claims] This engine is a power engine for generating electricity by obtaining strong power by circulating buoyancy and high-pressure air. This organization was established on February 2, 1978.
Published patent publication on buoyancy power engine in 1978, filed on 7th, 1978-
It is an improved engine of 114652. (Figure 1) (4) Make two extremely deep aquariums, AB, and build the floating boat (8) in them. A high-pressure air chamber (7) is made protruding from the bottom of the water tank, and an air inlet (6) and a machine room are made above this. (11) in (Figure 2) Make an extremely deep shaft, and build a water tank (4) in (Figure 1) inside this shaft. The water tank and the top of the shaft are covered tightly to create a large high-pressure air chamber (10). This depth is approximately 200 meters. In order to reinforce this, floor beams will be built and reinforced on several floors. An air compression room (see Figure 6) will be built on the first floor above this, and a compressed air cooling system water tank will be built on the second floor (not shown in the drawings).Air will also be made above the engine (not shown in the drawings). In the air chamber, the power axle of AB is connected with a gear wheel to form a gear set that operates the floating boat in a crane-type manner, and also serves as a machine room for a device that changes forward and reverse rotation of the power axle. This air chamber receives the air exhausted from the floating boat. A complete set of the above engines.
