SE467504B - Arrangement for extracting energy from wind, sun and water - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention consists of an arrangement for extracting energy from wind, sun and water simultaneously, consisting of a power converter 1 which simultaneously constitutes a solar collector and also a spindle 3 with blades 2 for harnessing the wind on one side and also additional energy by means of water running downwards on the rear side. <IMAGE>

Description

An object of the present invention is that one can utilize energy from different power sources at the same time.

Another object of the invention is that by adding a force-absorbing function the amount of energy recovered can be amplified.

The characteristics of the present invention appear from the following claims.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side view of a wind and solar power plant and where Figure 2 shows from the side a power plant using water and wind. Figure 3 shows the application of a power plant using both wind and solar heat and figure 4 shows a side view of how to use a number of power plants in series.

Figure 5 shows an embodiment of a power plant for wind and solar heating and figure 6 shows from the side an embodiment of a number of series-built power plants. Figure 7 shows a profiled carrier with large closing flanges at a 90 degree angle seen from the side and figure 8 shows the same carrier seen from below and figure 9 which shows a pipe bend for changing direction.

Figure 1 shows a wind and solar power plant from the side where the arrows show the incoming winds. You can see a lower converter 1 which leads the wind towards the upper part of the wings 2 and that these wings 2 are attached to a shaft 3 which can preferably be made long and provided with an electric generator at its end. The converter 1 can preferably be a solar collector, so that the wind can be directed upwards towards the wings 2 due to both mechanical and thermal influences. The figure also shows an upper converter 4 which helps to force the wind against the wing 2. The figure shows a wind and solar thermal power plant.

Figure 2 shows a wind and hydropower plant where you can see the movement of the wind in the direction of the arrows. The wind and water wheels are positioned in such a way that the winds that arise along mountains and slopes are utilized. On the inside of the wheels, water 5 will run down, for example melt water or other constantly running water. You can thus use the power from both the wind and on the back of the wheels, melt water can be an addition to the driving force.

Figure 3 shows what a wind and solar power plant can look like mounted on a roof. You can see there a lower converter 1 which leads the wind into the wheel and otherwise how the wind is caught by the wings 1 which in this case have a curved design. The converter 1 serves at the same time as a solar collector.

Figure 4 shows how to build several composite power plants.

Axles 3 with wings 2 which can be designed differently and can be built in several heights.

Figure 5 shows an embodiment of a wind and solar power plant where you see the shaft 3 and to this are attached curved wings 2 and at the bottom is the lower converter 1 which also functions as a solar collector. Unlike conventional propeller plants, the machine parts are easily accessible both in connection with installation and for service work. Funnel-shaped air intakes can also increase the amount of air and provide greater power. 467 504 4 Figure 6 shows how to build a combination of a number of wind wheels that only have the function of utilizing wind power.

These wind wheels can then, for example, be built in several heights and lie at intervals of a certain distance.

Figure 7 shows a view from the short side of the material that can be used in the construction of the various power plants. As the wind can reach high speeds, not least during storms and hurricanes, it is important that this material lasts at the same time as it must not be costly or so heavy and awkward that the power plants become difficult to build. They should also be easy to maintain or take down and build up elsewhere. Thus, the building material can consist of, as the figure shows, profiled carrier 6 with closing flanges 7 at a 90 degree angle to the carrier 6 and that inside when changing direction a pipe stand 8 can be laid and that this is attached on both sides of the profiled carrier 6 by means of a bolt 9 and that two different carriers 6 can be laid against each other and fastened with the ruffles against each other. In this way, you can build a power plant that can handle any wind speed.

Figure 8 shows a profiled carrier 6 from below and you can see the closing flanges 7. The power plants can be built of preferably mountable steel profiles. The skeletons of the facilities are erected either in the form of entire buildings or of parts against natural slopes. Figure 9 then shows a pipe bend 8 for changing direction.

The drawings show some embodiments of the invention, but it should be pointed out that it can be designed in many different ways within the scope of the appended claims. * x
