Description

The invention relates to the field of electricity generation by electrification of dielectric substances, and in particular to devices in which thermal or kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy by ionizing a liquid or gas medium and removing charge from it.

The invention can be used to supply electricity to industrial facilities, in the production of electricity for the population living in housing estates, apartment buildings and in individual buildings.

Known electric generators [1], [2], containing a device for creating an electrostatic charge by friction between solid objects moving relative to each other, electrodes for removing electrostatic charge. The electricity obtained in this way may not even make up for the energy needed to overcome the frictional forces.

Known electric generator [3], containing a device for creating an electrostatic field by thermal displacement of gas molecules and electrodes. Such an electric generator is a power source with a small voltage and low power due to the low speed of movement of charges.

The closest in technical essence is an electric generator [4], which contains a chamber made in an insulating casing for creating electrostatic charges in a medium with dielectric substances, a device for polarizing the electric field, a device for driving the medium, the first and second electrodes.

The disadvantage of such an electric generator is its low power due to the fact that mainly in many environments there is a small percentage of impurities from dielectric substances necessary for the formation of an electrostatic charge.

The technical result of the invention is to increase the power of the generator.

This technical result is achieved in an electric generator containing a chamber made in an insulating casing for generating electrostatic charges in a medium with dielectric substances, a device for polarizing the electric field, a device for driving the medium, the first and second electrodes, in that the medium with dielectric substances is formed in a mixture of air and gaseous and solid products of thermal decomposition of carbon-containing materials loaded into the chamber, a device for bringing in the movement of the medium comprises a supercharger connected to the atmosphere by a suction unit, the outlet of which is connected to a nozzle entering the upper part of the chamber so that the gas flow is tangential to the side surface of the upper part of the chamber, a device for polarizing the electric field is located in the nozzle and is designed as a device for creating a constant magnetic field with the direction of the poles along the nozzle, a metal divider is made in the lower part of the chamber, the first electrode is formed by a divider and the inner metal th shell on the side surface of the chamber, the second electrode is formed by an outer metal shell on the side surface of the housing, concentric with the inner metal shell.

In one particular case, electrical contacts are made in the electric generator in the first and second electrodes.

In another particular case in an electric generator, one of the electrodes is electrically grounded.

In another particular case in the generator, electrical grounding is connected to the electrical contact of the second electrode.

In the following particular case in the electric generator, the device for creating a constant magnetic field is made in the form of a rod permanent magnet.

In a subsequent particular case in the electric generator, the north pole of the permanent magnet is directed towards the chamber.

Since the medium with dielectric substances is formed in the chamber in the form of a mixture of air and gaseous and solid products of thermal decomposition of carbon-containing materials, the device for driving the medium contains a supercharger, out of which the gas stream is directed tangentially to the side surface of the upper part of the chamber, then in the medium in the chamber, a large number of electrically charged particles and molecules are formed, which ensures the formation of a significant electrostatic charge a. As a result, the power of the generator increases.

Due to the fact that the device for polarizing the electric field is located in the nozzle and is designed as a device for creating a constant magnetic field with the direction of the poles along the nozzle, an increase in the power of the generator is ensured by imparting a set of electrostatically charged particles in a unidirectional orientation.

Due to the metal divider made in the chamber, the first electrode is formed by the divider and the inner metal shell on the side surface of the chamber, the second electrode is formed by the outer metal shell on the side surface of the housing, the power of the generator is increased due to the significant value of the induced charge on the electrodes having an increased surface area.

Figure 1 presents a view of the generator; figure 2 is a view of the generator in section along aa figure 1; figure 3 - the implementation of electrical contact in the first electrode; figure 4 - the implementation of electrical contact in the second electrode; figure 5 - connection diagram of the electrodes with the load.

The generator (figure 1) contains a housing 1 made of lightweight heat-resistant concrete and is a thermal and electrical insulator. A chamber 2 is made in the housing 1, the upper part of which is a cover 3. In the lower part of the chamber 2, a cone-shaped divider 5 made of metal material is installed on the grill 4. On the side surface 6 of the chamber 2 there is an inner metal shell 7 connected by a grating 4 with a divider 5 and which is the first electrode. An external metal shell 8, located on the side surface 9 of the housing 1, serves as the second electrode. A gap 10 is formed between the inner surface 6 of the housing 1 and the divider 5 to allow slag to fall to the bottom of the housing 1 and exit gaseous products through the pipe 11. A hatch is formed in the lid 3 12 for loading carbonaceous materials. A pipe 13 is connected to the cover 3 for supplying air from the supercharger 14, the inlet of which is connected to the atmosphere. In the nozzle 13 along its longitudinal axis 15-15 is a rod permanent magnet 16, magnetized in the longitudinal direction. Moreover, the north pole of the permanent magnet 16 is directed towards the camera 2.

In the chamber 2 there is provided a device for firing raw materials, not shown in the drawings, since it is not essential for disclosing the essence of the invention. A device for igniting raw materials can be performed as a burner.

In the lid 3 (FIG. 2), the longitudinal axis 15-15 of the nozzle 13 is parallel to the tangent to the surface 17 of the lid 3. As a result, a tangential direction of movement of the mixture of air and gaseous and solid products of thermal decomposition of carbon-containing materials constituting the medium of chamber 2 is created.

An electrical contact (Fig. 3) in the first electrode is thus formed. A screw 19 is screwed into the threaded hole 18 on the inner metal sheath 7. Under the head 20 of the screw 19 there is a tab 21 to which the conductor 22 connected to the terminal X1 is soldered.

To form an electrical contact in the second electrode (Fig. 4), a threaded hole 23 is made on the outer metal shell 8, into which a screw 24 is screwed in. Under the head 25 of the screw 24 there is a tab 26 to which the conductor 27 connected to pin X2 is soldered.

By means of the conductor 28 coming from the contact X1 (FIG. 5) and the conductor 29 from the contact X2, the electric generator is connected to the power consumer device 30, which represents the load of the electric generator. When this electrical ground is connected to the conductor 29.

The electric generator works in this way. Various types of carbon-containing substances, such as coal, wood waste, waste from the paper, textile and chemical industries, municipal solid waste, are loaded through the hatch 12 into preheated up to 400-1000 ° С (depending on the type of product) chamber 2. Using a divider 5, the loaded product is laid in an even layer on the surface of the divider 5. Due to the high temperature in the chamber 2 and ignition, ignition of carbon-containing substances occurs. At the same time, air is supplied to the chamber 2 from the supercharger 14 through the nozzle 13, the flow of which is directed tangentially to the side surface 17 of the cover 3, parallel to the longitudinal axis 15-15 of the nozzle 13. A vortex movement occurs together with the air formed as a result of the thermochemical conversion of the gas medium , in which in suspension there are particles of solid products of thermal decomposition of the components of the loaded product. When particles move, they are electrified due to friction against air. A spark discharge arises between the charged particles, which contributes to a more intensive thermochemical conversion, leading to the splitting of 2 substances in the chamber to the level of molecules. The set of charges of particles and molecules creates an electrostatic charge of significant magnitude, since the entire volume of chamber 2 is densely filled with the smallest charged particles. Then this medium from numerous charged small particles and molecules acquires a total electrostatic charge, through which electric charges are induced on the outer metal shell 8 and the inner metal shell 7.

Induced electric charges create a potential difference between the outer metal shell 8 and the inner metal shell 7.

In the presence of a load representing the power consumer device 30 connected to the contacts X1 and X2, a voltage U is generated at the electrical contacts X1 and X2, which is the output voltage of the generator. Since the outer metal sheath 8 connected to the contact X2 is grounded, and the north pole of the permanent magnet 16 is directed toward the chamber 2, the positive voltage pole U is contact X1.

If there is an increased pressure in the chamber 2 caused by the air supply from the supercharger 14 and the pressure of the gaseous products formed as a result of thermal decomposition of the components of the loaded product, slag and gaseous products through the grate 4 and the gap 10 are discharged to the bottom of the chamber 2. The slag settles to the bottom of the chamber 2. 2, and gaseous products are discharged through pipeline 11. As a result of intense thermal decomposition of the components of the loaded product in chamber 2, various products are processed, in which isutstvuyut carbonaceous material.

Since the next one after one portion of the loaded products after thermal decomposition are discharged from the chamber 2 mainly in the form of gaseous products, as a result of which the medium in the chamber 2 is constantly updated, the volume of the medium in the chamber 2 remains almost constant. On this basis, there is no reason to limit the volume of chamber 2. Therefore, the more the volume of chamber 2 is fulfilled, the greater will be the amount of electrostatic charge and the greater the power of the generator.

Due to the fact that the outer metal shell 8 and the inner metal shell 7 are located on the side surface 9 of the housing 1 and the side surface 6 of the chamber 2, respectively, they have the largest surface area. In addition, the surface area of the divider 5 is added to the area of the side surface 6. Thus, due to the increased areas of the electrodes, an increased value of the induced charge is provided. Since a significant electrostatic charge is created, the difference in electric potentials between the electrodes is large.

Thus, an electric generator of increased power is created due to the formation of a larger electrostatic charge and a high difference in electrical potentials. Moreover, the larger the volume of the chamber 2, the greater the power of the generator. The constant updating of the environment in chamber 2 creates the prerequisites for the stable operation of the generator.
