Definitions
- the invention pertains to fields of obtaining of the fresh water from the atmospheric air and of obtaining such a source of energy which is able to replace any organic and nuclear fuels and, from now on, gets become pertaining to one field created by itself.
- this water may be obtained from the atmospheric air in the sunniest, but most arid, areas, other part of this water—from the natural sources of the fresh water in those areas which are sunny enough, and some part of the obtained Sun-heat energy, materialized in the transportable hydrogen-fuel, has to be used such as to obtain the fresh water from the atmospheric air in areas which are not sunny.
- the temperature of the dew-point of air, at the begining and at the end of the process has turned into the determinant to select methods and means.
- the temperature of the dew-point of air, at the begining and at the end of the process may stay higher than the temperature of the freezing-point of water, the known dehumidifiers of air and the known devices to get the fresh water from the atmospheric air do not have differences and can replace each other.
- Electrolysis as the method and electrolyzers as devices are the most simple, reliable and safe of them.
- This invention provides improvements of the known methods and means as well as new methods and means which compose the acceptable way to obtain as the fresh water from the atmospheric air of any moisture content as the hydrogen-fuel from this water such as to get and use this fuel as the materialized, Sun energy everywhere on the Earth. But obtainings of hydrogen by the most in practice high-temperature-hydrolysis of methan or by fermentation of biomasses are beyond consideration for they are ecologically harmful—so, non-perspective.
- the density of the solid water is lower than the density of the liquid water. That causes the floatability of the solid water on the liquid water.
- the adhesion between the solid freezing out surface with a source of cold and the first monomolecular layer of the frozen on water depends upon the temperature of the freezing out surface: the lower is the temperature—the stronger is the adhesion, but, any way, this adhesion is considerably stronger than the adhesion between any next layers of the frozen on water with each other;
- the thickness of the solid water covers the surface of the Earth, takes the freezing cold and catches the gaseous water from the atmospheric air by the same side, looks at the sky, but the melting warmth comes to this thickness only from, the surface of the Earth and gives the begining of the liquid water streams, rivers, even icebergs.
- the invention provides: to freeze out the gaseous water from the uninterruptedly renewed atmospheric air, primarily, by consolidating of the water molecules as the primary solid-state water upon some freezing-out substance which is a gaseous, or liquid, or solid cold-transmitter or a combination of such cold-transmitters are recipients of cold from some ecologically lean energy-supplied source(es) of cold, then, by accumulating, on and on, of a thickness of the solid-state water upon the primarily consolidated and previously accumulated frozen-out solid-state water, and to assimilate this uninterruptedly re-edified accumulation of the solid-state water, concurrently, in the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator taking warmth from some ecologically clean energy-supplied source; to get the cold-transmitter(s) screened, by the multifunctional screen, from the strange heat-influxes; to precool, under this screen, the atmospheric air before its interaction with the cold-transmitter(s); to reflect, by this screen, and to concentrate,
- the seasonal reductions of possibilities to obtain water from the atmospheric air may result in the according seasonal, or even yearly, discontinuance, in these areas, of decomposition of this water for obtaining of the hydrogen-fuel, which (areas) are, for sure, provided with other water resources to obtain the hydrogen-fuel from, that allows to stock water during the season of the Sun-sufficiency for all year long.
- any stuff may be considered as a primary freezing-out substance if its temperature is far below the freezing-point of water. If the stuff is solid or liquid, the freezing-out temperature is the temperature of its surface primarily contacts the atmospheric air and makes up the first monomolecular layer of the solid-state water becomes the secondary freezing-out substance which is consubtantially solid. This secondary freezing-out substance collects on and on, layers of the solid-state water frozen-out from the atmospheric air at the temperature of the last of these layers.
- the freezin-out temperature is the temperature at the primary border between this stuff and the atmospheric air where, after consolidating with each other, the primary associations of the water molecules become a fog of the microscopically small particles of the solid-state water—the foggy-like secondary solid freezing-out substance which keeps on freezing-out the gaseous water from the atmospheric air, increases weight and sizes of the solid water particles and may, having fallen down, turn into the layer-like secondary solid freezing substance upon some solid or liquid stuff and collect on and on layers of the solid water frozen-out from the atmospheric air in the same way.
- the solid cold-transmitter may be imagined to be any solid thing with the temperature kept really far below the freezing-point of water.
- it may be a stone, or a metal formation, or a metal capacity, filled with water and water-ice, accumulates as much night cold with the freezing low temperature (in the very continental climate conditions are known in many desorts) as it is enough to get white frosted and then covered by a thickness of ice was frozen-out from the atmospheric air. This thickness can be kept and even increased, night in-night out, if protection from the daily warmth is effective enough.
- It may be an evaporator of some freezing refrigeration machine or any other sheet is frozen at one its side and freezes-out the gaseous water from the atmospheric air through the thickness of the solid water at its other side.
- It may be small morsels and particles of the dry ice (ice of the carbonic acid). And, last but not at all least, it may be the water ice (snow) small morsels and particles were made from the liquid water and gotten overcooled in an ice (snow) making machine or by the means of freezing and overcooling droplets of the liquid water in a driving stream of the very cold, so dry, air or other inert gas. Particles from other stuff are possible, but beyond to discuss because their heat-capacity is too low.
- the liquid cold-transmitter may be imagined to be droplets or streamlets of any cryogenically cold liquid (overcooled oil, air, nitrogen, helium) which is inert to the water and has the current temperature or the boiling-point temperature very far lower than the freezing-point temperature of water.
- cryogenically cold liquid overcooled oil, air, nitrogen, helium
- the life-time of the seething droplets is as short as it is good to refer such a liquid cold-transmitter to the gaseousone as well, while the very viscosity of the overcooled oil is good enough to refer such a liquid cold-transmitter to the solid one as well.
- the gaseous cold-transmitter may be imagined to be streamlets of the very cold gas (vapour of nitrogen, helium) or air. Penetrating the atmospheric air, these streamlets produce the cold solid water fog which is the secondary solid cold-transmitter and, at the same time, the really freezing substance freezes-out the gaseous water from the atmospheric air. Streamlets of the gaseous cold-transmitter may be combined with the solid cold-transmitter. In this case, the gaseous cold-transmitter, in the mix with the cold solid water fog and the atmospheric air, contacts the outer surface of the solid water accumulation which is upon the solid cold-transmitter and brings the additional cold together with increasing of this accumulation.
- the way to assimilate the collected and accumulated solid water was frozen-out from the atmospheric air in the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator depends upon the cold-transmitter, accordingly upon the character-shape of the solid water accumulation. It depends also upon the common disposition of the solid water accumulation and the reservoir-accumulator of the collected liquid water.
- the thickness of the solid water accumulation has to be gotten away from this cold-transmitter and gotten in the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator. Any mechanical or thermodynamical way to do such a transfer may be imagined to be. But, if the reservoir-accumulator of the collected liquid water is disposed, as it has, indeed, to be, just under the accumulation of the solid water adheres very strong the solid cold-transmitter, to immerse the lower ends of the solid water accumulation and of the solid cold-transmitter in the collected liquid water is just to solve any transfer problems completely and in the good way.
- the solid cold-transmitter (an evaporator) may, and has to, be vibrated with such amplitude, form and frequency of the up and down accelerations which make the solid water accumulation slide slowly down, having grown a pseudo-liquid stuff of high density.
- the invention provides the necessary and adequate combinations of the necessary and adequate components which realize the invention as a method in all its versions.
- a substantial cold-transmitter(ers) freezes(ze)-out from the atmospheric air the primary solid water associations and makes them freeze-out, on and on, each upon other, the next layers of the solid water accumulation;
- Devices are on purpose: to protect the cold-transmitter(ers) from the strange heat-influxes; to reflect, concentrate and accumulate the Sun-heat; to receive and accumulate the night cosmic cold (to radiate into cosmos the heat was taken from the accumulator of cold) and to get precooled, by the part of this cold, the atmospheric air before its entrance into organizer of its interaction with the cold-transmitter(ers); to transform the energy of these accumulated heat and cold into the refrigeration-output and power for obtainings of water from the atmospheric air and of the hydrogen-fuel from the fresh water.
- a substantial cold-transmitter(ers) is(are) the key-component(s) of an apparatus as a water-getter.
- the general technical solutions of an “organizer” depend upon the kind of a cold-transmitter(ers).
- the general technical solutions of the “reservoir-accumulator” and of devices by the item 4) do not depend upon both of the mentioned before components of an apparatus.
- an adequate organizer may contain only an inducer directs streams of the atmospheric air onto the clod with the solid water accumulation which are disposed above and immersed, with their lower ends, in the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator.
- an adequate organizer has to contain not only an inducer of an air flow, but also a canal where small morsels, or particles, or droplets of a primary cold-transmitter, or the solid water fog of the secondary cold-transmitter get mixed up with the atmospheric air, float in it, freeze-out and accumulate in the solid state more water from it, and move with it to the area above the reservoir-accumulator of the collected liquid water.
- the solid cold-transmitter which is a fixed clod 1 ( FIG. 1 ), in order to be prevented from the outside radiant and convective heat-influx, is screened and fenced with a screen 2 .
- the upper part 3 of this screen 2 shades the wide area under itself the side part 4 of this screen 2 is transformable such as to allow the outside atmospheric air, if it is cold enough, contact the solid water accumulation 5 upon the solid cold-transmitter 1 , or not to allow this, if the atmospheric air is too warm.
- Both parts 3 and 4 of the screen 2 are able to transfer the radiant heat only in the direction from the solid cold-transmitter 1 and the solid water accumulation 5 to the one and only natural source of cold which is the cosmic space around the Earth.
- the solid water accumulation 5 allows the solid cold-transmitter 1 to lose its over-warmth and become colder through the radiant and convective heat-transfer, but to send some warmth from outside through the thickness of the solid water accumulation 5 into the solid cold-transmitter 1 is impossible because the solid cold-transmitter 1 itself is made also like the John Perkins' tube.
- the working medium at the bottom of the solid cold-transmitter 1 starts boiling at the temperature of its liquid phase about +2° C.++5° C. and makes the thin layer of the solid water accumulation 5 , contacts all the surface of the solid cold-transmitter 1 , get melted.
- the quantity of the liquid phase is as little as it is required to prevent the solid water accumulation 5 from overwarming by means of the boiling-crisis (when all the working medium has become gaseous).
- the warmth, required to make boil the liquid phase of the working medium at the bottom of the solid cold-transmitter 1 comes from the liquid water 6 , collected in the reservoir-accumulator 7 , when the bottom of the solid cold-transmitter 1 is in contact with the water 6 . This contact has to be and is interrupted if it is necessary to prevent the thickness of the solid water accumulation 5 from the dangerous reduction.
- the reservoir-accumulator 7 into two interconnected parts, which are able to receive some part of the liquid water 6 from each other and to control the level of the water 6 under the bottom of the solid cold-transmitter 1 , is quite enough as to get this interruption realized as to catch exactly the moment to begin (to resume) melting the solid water accumulation 5 . If the temperature of the liquid water 6 under the bottom of the solid cold-transmitter 1 is not high enough, it may be increased by adding of the liquid water 6 from the second part of the reservoir-accumulator 7 where this water 6 , is warmed, finally by the Sun.
- the inducer 8 makes, if it is necessary, the natural gusts of the outside atmospheric air pass through blades better and contact the solid water accumulation 5 such as tom increase (to restore) its thickness.
- the support 9 which is made up just like the John Perkins' tube, includes the upper-disposed volume-condenser bearing and continuing the part 3 of the screen 2 , the lower-disposed volume-evaporator which is immersed in the accumulator of the night
- the solid cold-transmitter is an evaporator 1 ( FIG. 2 ) of a freezing refrigeration machine
- the air-flow-inducer 2 fastened on the evaporator 1
- the evaporator 1 and the canal 3 embracing it
- the air-flow-inducer 2 fastened above the reservoir-accumulator 4 of the collected liquid water 5
- components 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 fastened together on the vibrator 6 is that combination of components which is just necessary and adequate for the apparatus to realize the method regardingly to obtaining of the fresh water from the atmospheric air.
- anyone known or imagined evaporator may be finally adapted as the evaporator 1 as well as anyone air-flow-inducer may be finally adapted, as the inducer 2 .
- the evaporator 1 has to have the high enough (better the highest possible) correlation of its heat-exchange surface area to its volume and weight.
- the shape and the smoothness of the surface do not have to prevent the solid water accumulation from following the vibration and sliding into the reservoir-accumlator 4 of the collected water 5 as well as the whole flowing atmospheric air from washing the whole surface of the evaporator 1 .
- the shape of the lower edge of the surface of the evaporator 1 has, however, to prevent the atmospheric air from contacting the liquid water 5 in the reservoir-accumulator 4 .
- the productivity of the inducer 2 do not have to depend on the variable and high enough, aerodynamical resistance of the evaporator 1 .
- the evaporator 1 in its internal volume has to be understood in the wide meaning as a final expander of a working medium of a refrigeration machine of any cycle. So, it may be, quite probably, a freezing chamber after the turbo-expander of the compression refrigeration machine as well as after the cold end of the air Vortex tube uses the compressed air.
- morsels and particles 1 are just above the reservoir-accumulator 4 , their speed is just as low as it prevents them from staying kept floating in the air and lets them fall down upon the surface of the collected liquid water 5 . Floating, while getting melted in the water 5 , they prevent this collected water 5 from contacting the dried atmospheric air may take back a lot of liquid water 5 . Having lost the small morsels and particles 1 , the dried atmospheric air, being under the force of the pulling inducer 6 , leaves for use, most probably, as a working medium of a refrigeration machine of the air cycle. No regulations are necessary as conditions of some competence of the combination of these components. Any small morsels are not big morsels and any particles are just particles.
- Any inducer can be used as the pushing one 3 and as the pulling one 6 .
- Any reservoir-accumulator which prevents the collected water 5 from leakage may be finally adapted such as to fit the canal 2 . But, if to choose not “some competence”, if to choose the really high efficiency of the combination, these components have to be selectively determined.
- the very small particles of the water ice have to be made just at the point of their involving into the stream of the atmospheric air.
- the fit device 7 to turn the liquid water 5 into the necessary amount of the smallest liquid droplets may be chosen from many sold patterns and immersed in the liquid water 5 .
- the freezing cold air, to turn the just made liquid water droplets into solid water proplets and to overcool them, may be brought from some freezing refrigeration machine disposed far beyond the combination shown in the FIG. 3 .
- the necessary freezing cold air can be produced by the Vortex tube (tubes) 8 just at the point it has to be used.
- the Vortex tube is indeed the main part of its compression refrigeration machine of the air cycle.
- This tube like any other variety of such machinesthas as the cooler of the compressed air as the rotary expander, but has them in one compact room and without any moving detail.
- the connection tube 9 brings the compressed air from an air-compressor, in the liquid water 5 as a heat-accepter, the emphasizedd cold productivity of the Vortex tube 8 will be considerably, increased and, at the same time, the freezing temperature of the cold air comes from the cold end of the Vortex tube will be considerably lower than it was announced, really entering the cryogenic field.
- the organizer of interaction between the myriad smallest droplets 1 of the overcooled solid water ( FIG. 3 ), with the solid water accumulation upon it, and the constantly renewed portions of the atmospheric air includes a canal 2 of four substantial zones and an air-flow-inducer of; two substantial parts.
- the first zone of the canal 2 begins from the pushing part 3 of the air-flow-inducer and makes the atmospheric air get accelerated up to its involving speed;
- the second zone of the canal 2 is a chamber where the myriad smallest droplets of the liquid water 5 get frozen and overcooled in the stream of the freezing air comes from the cold end(s) of the Vortex tube(s) 8 ;
- the third zone of the canal 2 is a chamber of interaction whereinto the droplets of the cold-transmitter 1 are gotten involved by the stream of the atmospheric air, where they are gotten mixed with the atmospheric air, freeze-out from this air gaseous water, increase the solid water accumulation upon themselves, lose, up to zero, the speed of their movement along this zone, and fall down upon the surface of the collected liquid water, which surface is the lower border of this zone, which zone gets uninterruptedly widened as the droplets move;
- the fourth zone of the canal 2 is a chamber wherefrom the dried atmospheric air is pulled out by the means of holes between this zone and the third zone below it, which holes
- the reservoir-accumulator 4 of the collected liquid water 5 is a basement disposed under the third zone of the canal 2 of the organizer and beside the first and the second zones of this canal 2 , having common walls with these zones, and having, inside, the immersed in the collected liquid water 5 Vortex tube(s) 8 , its(their) connecting tube 9 to the air-compressor (beyond the FIG. 3 ), and a device 7 which turns the liquid water 5 into the myriad smallest droplets.
- the centre of the bottom wall the fourth zone which is the top wall of the third zone, is speared from above into the first zone of the canal 2 of the organizer such as to force the stream of the atmospheric air to keep on getting smoothly accelerated and start its spiral move which move is supported by juts of this wall.
- the cold end(s) of the Vortex tube(s) is(are) out of the reservoir-accumulator 4 of the collected liquid water 5 and immersed, a little bit, in the second zone of the canal 2 , same as the shooting end(s) of the droplets-making device(s) 7 is(are), while the hot end(s) of the Vortex tube(s) is(are) juted outside, a little bit, from the reservoir-accumulator 4 .
- Such an arrangement of all mentioned components gets this ( FIG. 3 ) branch of the invention realized in the exclusively best way which has to be claimed for can not be either ignored or improved, or overreached.
- the indisputable advantage of the branch with the vibration of the solid cold-transmitter is ability to interact with the refrigeration machines of any cycle. Among them, the most interesting chance may be given by the absorption refrigeration machine turns the high potential heat into the cryogenic freezing cold. Such a machine, same as the Vortex tube, does not have any moving detail. and what's more, this machine does not need any other source or transformer of energy, if there is the concentrated Sun-heat, being able to achieve the unprecedented output and afficiency, if there is the accumulated cosmic cold as the cold-source to accept its heat of condensation. So, this branch of the invention can use the energy of Sun-heat and cosmic cold, while the branch illustrated by the FIG. 1 uses the cosmic cold, being insulated from the Sun-heat influxes, in order to obtain the fresh water from the atmospheric air.
- the branch of the invention that provides the use of the compressed air ( FIG. 3 ) can, and has to, be involved in the circle of the technical solutions those let obtain the fresh water even from the dry atmospheric air without to spend any fuel.
- Such a point makes necessary to mention and to underline the features those allow to take energy only from the Sun-heat and the cosmic cold among other features of the invention as the key-basic distinguishing features.
- the screen 2 ( 3 , 4 ) which is developed with the support 9 ( FIG. 1 ) is vitally necessary for the branch of the invention with the solid cold-transmitter—a fixed clod 1 ( FIG. 1 ). But to be prevented from the outside radiant and convective heat-influx is very useful for two other branches, illustrated by FIGS. 2 and 3 , as well.
- To get the parabolical top-mirror-surface of the upper part 3 ( 9 ) of the screen 2 ( FIG. 1 ) is vitally necessary for the branches of the invention illustrated by FIGS. 2 and 3 . But to be shaded by the screen 2 with the parabolical shape of the top mirror surface of its parts 3 ( 9 ) is not bad at all for the branch of the invention 35 illustrated by the FIG. 1 .
- the Sun-heat accumulator 12 is just necessary in so far as the Sun does not shine 24 hours a day and in so far as this device allows to obtain the fresh water, using the invention at, least 24 hours a day if days are sunny and if the size of the parabolical mirror is, accordingly, larger than it may be enough for the same gain per hour of the fresh water, for 24 hours of sunshine.
- this screen is a hollow, made from the heat-conductive thinwalled enough material, figure of two separated chambers, filled separatedly with their boiling working mediums, and of four zones in shape: the first is the upper zone, which, if it's necessary, has its mirror top surface parabolical, screens a ground area that is considerably wider than the disposed under this zone area of the “city”-locality of the combined cold-transmitter, “organizer” and reservoir-accumulator of the collected liquid water; the second is the lower zone which, being hidden in the accumulator of cold, a little bit under the ground, is as wide, or wider, as the ground area screened by the upper zone of the screen; the third zone is the vertical columns between the upper and the lower zones, which columns are disposed in vertexes of the polyhedron that surrounds the area of the “city”-locality that disposed under the central part of
- Each of the valve-blades may be hollow, filled with a thermo-sensetively changing the pressure working medium, and able, being immovably fastened by one of its three “hollow-forming” plates, to turn two others and to bend one of these two under the force of surplus pressure in the “hollow” such as to shut up all of windows automatically by the groups of the valve-blades, which (blades) are, indeed, in their totality, the third chamber of the screen, when the atmospheric air before them is too warm, or to get each of windows open and to make the atmospheric air enter the “organizer” or contact the solid water accumulation upon the fixed clod of the solid cold-transmitter when the temperature of the atmospheric air is good to do so.
- the upper zone of the screen there is an open hole with a flexible tube to receive the leaving dry atmospheric air and to get this air outside (to its user);
- the upper parts of columns and sides of the polyhedron, above windows of the sides, are also flexible and length-variable such as to let, if it's necessary, the upper zone of the screen, being driven by a drive, located under this zone, follow the moving Sun (along the sky).
- the hidden under the ground accumulator of the night cosmic cold may be very beneficially used to cool up absorbers and condensers of any involved heat-transforming machines. This point is the begining to make this invention be a base of profiting the energy of the concentrated and accumulated Sun-heat together with the accumulated, eosmic cold for many and many energy dependent purposes.
- the size of the parabolical mirror can not be enlarged unlimitedly, the way that provides to use the concentrated Sun-heat simply direct in device 10 ( FIG. 1 ) at the relatively low temperatures (about 550° C.+750° C.) has to be appraised as not the best.
- the efficiency of the parabolical mirror may be increased if the temperature of the Sun-heat accumulation is considerably higher, in other words, if some working stuff (medium) of the Sun-heat accumulation can be (convertibly) transformed at the considerably higher (thousands ° C.) temperature.
- the really right way to solve both problems is to choose the fresh water as the working stuff for the final accumulation of the Sun-heat-energy, which stuff can be convertibly transformed into hydrogen plus oxygen by the means of the high temperature gets maintained in a device disposed in the focus of the parabolical mirror.
- a device may include the only Sun-heat accumulator 12 ( FIG. 1 ) as a “decomposer” of water into hydrogen and oxygen and allow the boiler 11 to take any place beyond the focus of the parabolical mirror—for to realize the accumulated Sun-heat by the means of rejoining hydrogen and oxygen is possible everywhere and more convenient—closer to an energy-generating heat-transforming machine.
- Any kind of devices to get water decomposed into hydrogen plus oxygen through the high temperature gets maintained in the focus of the parabolical mirror are acceptable.
- the big reason to imagine such a device is the possibility to get water decomposed by the highest temperature that is the base of the highest heat-efficiency.
- the highest temperature which is good to plasmatize the water, is not good at all for materials of those parts of this device which have to separate and separatedly transfer hydrogen and oxygen, being affected as by the highest temperature as by the accordingly high pressure in a volume which has to maintain the highest temperature.
- materials are good to stand such extreme conditions is very much harder than even this device on the whole.
- the highest temperature has to be considered half lower than it is (2000° C.+2500° C. instead of 4000° C.+5000° C.). Such a reality makes us choose the temperature under 3000° C.
- the imagined device for getting water decomposed into hydrogen-fuel may contain the disposed in the focus of the parabolical mirror Sun-heat accumulator, which is combined with a transformer of this temperature into the high power of the electrical current as well as with the disposed under the screen electrolyzer, decomposes the water, may be taken from the reservoir-accumulator, by the power of this electrical current, and all the means to liquefy and to containerize the obtained hydrogen and oxygen.
- This Sun-heat accumulator may be imagined as a thermostat with its working medium changes the state of agregation of matter from solid to liquid while taking the heat and from liquid to solid while losing the heat, having the melting-point high enough, but acceptable for the very safety of a thermo electro transformer.
- a transformer may be imagined to be a known semiconductive thermo electro transformer with its “cold” joints get kept cold by the night cosmic cold which is accumulated, same as the Sun-heat is, to be used 24 hours a day.
- the river-hydroelectric-stations do not aggravate the greenhouse effect, but they are not less coarse negative meddlings in the nature's balance, having flooded the gigantic territories before their dams.
- the waterfall-hydroelectric-stations have long ago gotten empty the geography-possibilities of the new projects.
- the wind-electrogenerators are in accordance with the non-socialistic concept of the intansive local energy arrangements for energy-supply of the local consumers, but, however, it is a pity, areas of the stable wind-activity, in the nature, are quite not always in accordance with areas of the bitter shortage of the fresh water and, if to take into consideration the general danger of terrorism regarding any sources of the fresh water, to get the wind-electro-energy accumulated by the known (even by the improved in some future) accumulators and to get this energy transported inside these accumulators is as less real as its trasfer through wires those are quite possible objects of terror.
- the wind-electro-generators are much less reliable than the heat-absorbing absorption refrigeration machine and the semiconductive thermoelectrical transformer (without moving masses), supplied with energy of Sun-heat and cosmic cold just at the place where they are in usage for obtaining of the fresh water from the atmospheric air and of the hydrogen-fuel from the fresh water, which fuel can be transported much more intensive than the charged up electroaccumulators and much more protected against any terror than the electro-transfer through wires.
- this invention provides the possibility to profit any known or imaginable method and apparatus to turn the accumulated Sun-heat and cosmic cold into refrigeration-output & electro-power, reserving for the author or a licensee to choose a technical solution, and, on the other hand, any chosen solution has to and will be profited for many technologies, under the screen, in a sunny area, following this invention, one of such solutions (with pretension to perfection) is proposed by the author as an additional invention which has to be considered together with this invention, being, certainly, classified and examined as it is.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus are intended to stop and overcome the known shortage of the fresh water, for people and their properties, through its obtaining by freezing-out from the atmospheric air, even in the most arid, but sunny, areas of the Earth, as well as to substitute the organic and nuclear fuels by the hydrogen-fuel obtained, by decomposition of the fresh water, as the materialized energy of the concentrated and accumulated Sun-heat and of the accumulated night cosmic cold.
Description
- The invention pertains to fields of obtaining of the fresh water from the atmospheric air and of obtaining such a source of energy which is able to replace any organic and nuclear fuels and, from now on, gets become pertaining to one field created by itself.
- The considerable and, in many cases, bitter shortage of the fresh water became now a big problem because increasing of consumption of the fresh water goes much faster than increasing of new technologies to get and to save the fresh water and accompanied by polluting of the main sources of the fresh water in many, regions.
- As all known natural sources of the fresh water as natural and artificial means to transport the fresh water to consumers became now the easiest targets for terrorists who can use these sources and means as the most reliable way to realize the cheapest mass-destruction—for to defend shores, and surfaces, and bottoms, and wells is impossible.
- Solutions against both of these dangers can be found on the way of creating such an artificial source of the fresh water which has to be based on the one and only natural source of water—the atmospheric air includes mountains of water in its gaseous state and re-edifies these mountains by evaporating from its liquid and solid states. Such source is beyond to be terrored so doesn't need to get secreted and guarded.
- At the same time, as the exhaustion of the organic fuel sources as the antienvironmental features of the nuclear fuel, having become even the bigger danger, force us to look for some way to obtain from the fresh water as much of the one and only environmentally acceptable hydrogen-fuel as it is necessary to replace all previous fuels, having, certainly, taken all energy only from the Sun and Cosmos and turned the hydrogen-fuel into the materialized Sun-heat energy gets obtained from the fresh water. Some part of this water may be obtained from the atmospheric air in the sunniest, but most arid, areas, other part of this water—from the natural sources of the fresh water in those areas which are sunny enough, and some part of the obtained Sun-heat energy, materialized in the transportable hydrogen-fuel, has to be used such as to obtain the fresh water from the atmospheric air in areas which are not sunny.
- The whole today electro-energy is not enough for the global fresh water-supply from the atmospheric air and for obtaining of hydrogen as the global fuel, so to use electro-networks for these purposes, even at the very begining, is to realize the energetics—terrorism.
- In so far as the necessity to dehumidify rooms, by drying air within them, and to dry the air has to work in the using the compressed air devices, was known much before than the problem of the shortage of the fresh water became as big as it is now, the known inventions to get the fresh water from the air still are attempts to adapt the methods and means of drying the air.
- The temperature of the dew-point of air, at the begining and at the end of the process, has turned into the determinant to select methods and means. When the temperature of the dew-point of air, at the begining and at the end of the process, may stay higher than the temperature of the freezing-point of water, the known dehumidifiers of air and the known devices to get the fresh water from the atmospheric air do not have differences and can replace each other. When the temperature of the dew-point of air, at the begining or at the end of the process, is considerably lower than the temperature of the freezing-point of water, the only known methods and devices of drying of the air through absorption of the gaseous water from the air by the means of absorbents (the list of the patents is enclosed below, after claims and abstract of this invention) are not acceptable for the practical getting of water from air: the necessity to evaporate the water from any absorbent, condense this water, and to clean it from remains of the absorbent is too energy-wastefull and too unwieldy (cumbrous) to be acceptable for some practical usage.
- To expend the known methods and means of getting of water from air when its temperature of the dew-point is higher than the temperature of the freezing-point of water to the field of the lower temperatures of the dew-point of air (lower moisture contents) is generally possible, but these methods and means have to be improved and added by new methods and means in order to remove the solid water from a freezing surface into a reservoir-accumulator of the liquid water in an acceptable way.
- Methods and devices for practical obtaining of hydrogen and oxygen from the fresh water are described in the reference books and manuals. Electrolysis as the method and electrolyzers as devices are the most simple, reliable and safe of them.
- This invention provides improvements of the known methods and means as well as new methods and means which compose the acceptable way to obtain as the fresh water from the atmospheric air of any moisture content as the hydrogen-fuel from this water such as to get and use this fuel as the materialized, Sun energy everywhere on the Earth. But obtainings of hydrogen by the most in practice high-temperature-hydrolysis of methan or by fermentation of biomasses are beyond consideration for they are ecologically harmful—so, non-perspective.
- The general description of the invention has, probably, to be anticipated with the necessary abstracts from the elementary Physics, Thermodynamics, Heat-Mass-Exchange, and Meteorology—for these abstracts are: to be recalled as a base to see into the embraced technical solutions of the invention, have to be really useful.
- {circle around (1)} Only the first monomolecular layer of water, has been taken from air, is frozen on directly, upon the freezing surface interacts with a source of cold. Each next layer of the frozen on water, has been taken from air, is frozen on upon the surface of the solid water, has been frozen on before this layer;
- {circle around (2)} The heat-conduction of the solid water is considerably lower than the heat-conduction of the liquid water. That causes the considerable difference of temperatures between the outer layer of the frozen on water interacts with a source of cold and the outer layer of the frozen on water does not interact with a source of cold;
- {circle around (3)} Activity of evaporation from the surface of the solid water is incommensurably lower than from the surface of the liquid water;
- {circle around (4)} The density of the solid water is lower than the density of the liquid water. That causes the floatability of the solid water on the liquid water.
- {circle around (5)} Heat-exchange and heat-transfer as well as mass-exchange and mass-transfer of the gaseous and liquid water go only in the direction from the source of heat to the source of cold;
- {circle around (6)} The specific heat-capacity of water in its liquid and solid states is practically the same. That means the practical identity of their ability to accumulate heat and cold which ability is known as the highest among any substances;
- {circle around (7)} The adhesion between the solid freezing out surface with a source of cold and the first monomolecular layer of the frozen on water depends upon the temperature of the freezing out surface: the lower is the temperature—the stronger is the adhesion, but, any way, this adhesion is considerably stronger than the adhesion between any next layers of the frozen on water with each other;
- {circle around (8)} The frozen on water, same as the liquid water, the gaseous water and air, lets the high enough percentage of heat-rays pass through the very thick layer of the stuff. So, air and water can get colder, giving away their heat directly to the source of cold, but they can not be gotten warmer by the radiant heat (if they are really clean). Only the contact, including convection, heat can get them warmer;
- {circle around (9)} The one and only natural primary source of cold is the practically; absolutely cool (0° K) cosmic space surrounding the Earth. The main source of heat, matters the close course of transformations of the water-states on the Earth, is the Sun. The orbital rotation of the Earth around the Sun and the self-rotation of the Earth around its axis, has ˜63° inclination to the plane of the orbit, cause the daily (within 63° from the Earth—equator) and the seasonal (over 63° from the Earth—equator) discontinuances of the Sun-heat-influx. The thickness of the solid water, covers the surface of the Earth, takes the freezing cold and catches the gaseous water from the atmospheric air by the same side, looks at the sky, but the melting warmth comes to this thickness only from, the surface of the Earth and gives the begining of the liquid water streams, rivers, even icebergs.
- Having recalled the permanent snow-icy polar hats and mountain picks of the Earth as well as the seasonal ice and snow, covers the dry land of the Earth, out of its equatorial zone, it is very important to underline that the truly straight, short and affective war of transformations of the water-states, which is patented by the Nature, is the best to be adapted and to be interpreted in order to create the really useful technology allows to cover needs of the fresh water, individuals and their properties have, directly from the atmospheric air. At the same time, it is important not to forget that the natural sources of cold and heat are not available to be used directly. Devices, to get them available, have to be created by people. But the way of the water-states transformations, the solid water consolidations and assimilations in the liquid water has to be as straight, short, effective and clear as the Nature teaches: not to use any fuel is as important as to obtain the fresh water from the atmospheric air—for the resources of the organic fuel are about to be exhausted and the nuclear fuel is too pollutive and big with crashes.
- In its embodiment as a method, the invention provides: to freeze out the gaseous water from the uninterruptedly renewed atmospheric air, primarily, by consolidating of the water molecules as the primary solid-state water upon some freezing-out substance which is a gaseous, or liquid, or solid cold-transmitter or a combination of such cold-transmitters are recipients of cold from some ecologically lean energy-supplied source(es) of cold, then, by accumulating, on and on, of a thickness of the solid-state water upon the primarily consolidated and previously accumulated frozen-out solid-state water, and to assimilate this uninterruptedly re-edified accumulation of the solid-state water, concurrently, in the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator taking warmth from some ecologically clean energy-supplied source; to get the cold-transmitter(s) screened, by the multifunctional screen, from the strange heat-influxes; to precool, under this screen, the atmospheric air before its interaction with the cold-transmitter(s); to reflect, by this screen, and to concentrate, by this screen, the Sun-heat-radiation in the heat-accumulator, above this screen; to receive, by this screen, the night cosmic cold and to transmit it into the cold-accumulator, under this screen (to transmit, by night, into cosmos, the heat from the cold-accumulator, under this screen); to transform, round the clock, the energy of the Sun-heat and of the night cosmic cold (that means the difference of temperatures between working-mediums in the heat and cold accumulators) into refrigeration-output of the source of cold for the freezing-out of water from the atmospheric air and, if it's necessary, into electro-power for the electrolytical obtaining of the hydrogen-fuel from the fresh water. Such combination of actions is acceptable for all areas of the Earth. In its cloudless areas, reception and accumulation of the most intensive and longest daily Sun-heat and the night cosmic cold can get supplied with the sufficient energy as the obtaining of water from the atmospheric air, even in the most arid deserts, as the obtaining, from the significant part of this water (without only that what is necessary for the limited consumption at the place of its obtaining), of the hydrogen-fuel for its sending (selling) into areas with bigger cloudiness and shorter daily length of the Sun-heat and the night cosmic cold. In its areas with bigger cloudiness, accordingly, with some shorter daily length of the Sun-heat and the night cosmic cold, possibilities to obtain water from the atmospheric air can be maintained and even increased because of the cloudiness—accompanying significant increase of moisture—content of the atmospheric air and, largely, because of radiant heat-exchange through clouds. In its areas with the perceptible seasonal changes of as correlation of length of the day-hours and the night-hours within 24 hours, as intensiveness of the Sun-heat-radiation, the seasonal reductions of possibilities to obtain water from the atmospheric air may result in the according seasonal, or even yearly, discontinuance, in these areas, of decomposition of this water for obtaining of the hydrogen-fuel, which (areas) are, for sure, provided with other water resources to obtain the hydrogen-fuel from, that allows to stock water during the season of the Sun-sufficiency for all year long. If the seasonal changes of the Sun-sufficiency are really significant, water, that was obtained from the atmospheric air, goes only for consumption and in store, while the hydrogen-fuel is, either obtained in these areas, through decomposition of water from other resources, which decomposition spends energy of the Sun-heat and of the night cosmic cold concurrently with obtaining of water from the aymospheric air, or bought and picked up from those areas where it is obtained to be, largely, sold.
- Any stuff may be considered as a primary freezing-out substance if its temperature is far below the freezing-point of water. If the stuff is solid or liquid, the freezing-out temperature is the temperature of its surface primarily contacts the atmospheric air and makes up the first monomolecular layer of the solid-state water becomes the secondary freezing-out substance which is consubtantially solid. This secondary freezing-out substance collects on and on, layers of the solid-state water frozen-out from the atmospheric air at the temperature of the last of these layers. If the stuff is gaseous, the freezin-out temperature is the temperature at the primary border between this stuff and the atmospheric air where, after consolidating with each other, the primary associations of the water molecules become a fog of the microscopically small particles of the solid-state water—the foggy-like secondary solid freezing-out substance which keeps on freezing-out the gaseous water from the atmospheric air, increases weight and sizes of the solid water particles and may, having fallen down, turn into the layer-like secondary solid freezing substance upon some solid or liquid stuff and collect on and on layers of the solid water frozen-out from the atmospheric air in the same way.
- In so far as the quantity of water in the primary associations of the solid water frozen-out from the atmospheric air and consolidated on any freezing substances is as little as it is beyond to be discussed, it will be quite correct, having declared the secondary freezing substance—the primarily frozen-out solid water as the one and only really freezing substance indeed freezes-out the gaseous water from the atmospheric air, to refer any previous solid, liquid and gaseous cold substance to the source of cold as COLD-TRANSMITTERS independently what are the ways to get cold.
- The solid cold-transmitter may be imagined to be any solid thing with the temperature kept really far below the freezing-point of water. For example, it may be a stone, or a metal formation, or a metal capacity, filled with water and water-ice, accumulates as much night cold with the freezing low temperature (in the very continental climate conditions are known in many desorts) as it is enough to get white frosted and then covered by a thickness of ice was frozen-out from the atmospheric air. This thickness can be kept and even increased, night in-night out, if protection from the daily warmth is effective enough. It may be an evaporator of some freezing refrigeration machine or any other sheet is frozen at one its side and freezes-out the gaseous water from the atmospheric air through the thickness of the solid water at its other side. It may be small morsels and particles of the dry ice (ice of the carbonic acid). And, last but not at all least, it may be the water ice (snow) small morsels and particles were made from the liquid water and gotten overcooled in an ice (snow) making machine or by the means of freezing and overcooling droplets of the liquid water in a driving stream of the very cold, so dry, air or other inert gas. Particles from other stuff are possible, but beyond to discuss because their heat-capacity is too low.
- The liquid cold-transmitter may be imagined to be droplets or streamlets of any cryogenically cold liquid (overcooled oil, air, nitrogen, helium) which is inert to the water and has the current temperature or the boiling-point temperature very far lower than the freezing-point temperature of water. Here, the life-time of the seething droplets is as short as it is good to refer such a liquid cold-transmitter to the gaseousone as well, while the very viscosity of the overcooled oil is good enough to refer such a liquid cold-transmitter to the solid one as well.
- The gaseous cold-transmitter may be imagined to be streamlets of the very cold gas (vapour of nitrogen, helium) or air. Penetrating the atmospheric air, these streamlets produce the cold solid water fog which is the secondary solid cold-transmitter and, at the same time, the really freezing substance freezes-out the gaseous water from the atmospheric air. Streamlets of the gaseous cold-transmitter may be combined with the solid cold-transmitter. In this case, the gaseous cold-transmitter, in the mix with the cold solid water fog and the atmospheric air, contacts the outer surface of the solid water accumulation which is upon the solid cold-transmitter and brings the additional cold together with increasing of this accumulation.
- The way to assimilate the collected and accumulated solid water was frozen-out from the atmospheric air in the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator depends upon the cold-transmitter, accordingly upon the character-shape of the solid water accumulation. It depends also upon the common disposition of the solid water accumulation and the reservoir-accumulator of the collected liquid water.
- When the solid cold-transmitter is not the morsels and particles of water or carbonic acid ice (snow), the thickness of the solid water accumulation has to be gotten away from this cold-transmitter and gotten in the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator. Any mechanical or thermodynamical way to do such a transfer may be imagined to be. But, if the reservoir-accumulator of the collected liquid water is disposed, as it has, indeed, to be, just under the accumulation of the solid water adheres very strong the solid cold-transmitter, to immerse the lower ends of the solid water accumulation and of the solid cold-transmitter in the collected liquid water is just to solve any transfer problems completely and in the good way. This way may be, however, improved if the solid cold-transmitter, inside the solid water accumulation, is combined with the gaseous cold-transmitter outside of this accumulation, as it, indeed, is quite possible. Such a solution is possible because the heat-conduction of the solid cold-transmitter as well as of the accumulated solid water is limited at the level which is low enough while the heat-capacity of the liquid water in the reservoir-accumulator is enough to melt the solid water at the immersed (its) end.
- If to immerse the lower ends of the solid water accumulation and of the solid cold-transmitter in the collected liquid water is inconvenient enough (for example, in the case when accumulations of the solid water upon two adjacent sections of a solid cold-transmitter, which is an evaporator of a freezing refrigeration machine, are in front to each other with such a very narrow gap (chink) between them which is an obstacle for this immersion—in so far as the collected liquid water may be lost by evaporation into the ate mospheric air flows in this gap overspeededly) such an immersion may, and has to, be gotten unnecessary. Instead of this immersion, the solid cold-transmitter (an evaporator) may, and has to, be vibrated with such amplitude, form and frequency of the up and down accelerations which make the solid water accumulation slide slowly down, having grown a pseudo-liquid stuff of high density.
- When the solid cold-transmitter is just morsels and particles of the solid water or carbonic acid, there are no problems to get the solid water accumulations, are upon each of these morsels and particles, in the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator. The one and only condition to get them in is to have the reservoir-accumulator just under their “gravitated” falls. Water ice as the solid cold-transmitter and water ice as the solid water accumulations get melted in the same way and become the same liquid water. The solid carbonic acid, having gotten melted, leaves the collected liquid water for the air above it.
- Steps to get some part of the collected or any fresh water decomposed by energy of Sun-heat and cosmic cold will be described later in this description.
- In its embodiment as an apparatus, the invention provides the necessary and adequate combinations of the necessary and adequate components which realize the invention as a method in all its versions.
- The adequate realization of any substantial version of the invention as a method requires:
- 1) A substantial cold-transmitter(ers) freezes(ze)-out from the atmospheric air the primary solid water associations and makes them freeze-out, on and on, each upon other, the next layers of the solid water accumulation;
- 2) An organizer of interaction between any substantial cold-transmitter(ers), with the solid water accumulation upon it, and the constantly renewed portions of the atmospheric air;
- 3) A reservoir-accumulator of the collected liquid water with its entrance open for the current portions of the solid water accumulation and with its exit for the liquid water to leave for its usage;
- 4) Devices are on purpose: to protect the cold-transmitter(ers) from the strange heat-influxes; to reflect, concentrate and accumulate the Sun-heat; to receive and accumulate the night cosmic cold (to radiate into cosmos the heat was taken from the accumulator of cold) and to get precooled, by the part of this cold, the atmospheric air before its entrance into organizer of its interaction with the cold-transmitter(ers); to transform the energy of these accumulated heat and cold into the refrigeration-output and power for obtainings of water from the atmospheric air and of the hydrogen-fuel from the fresh water.
- A substantial cold-transmitter(ers) is(are) the key-component(s) of an apparatus as a water-getter. The general technical solutions of an “organizer” depend upon the kind of a cold-transmitter(ers). And the general technical solutions of the “reservoir-accumulator” and of devices by the item 4) do not depend upon both of the mentioned before components of an apparatus.
- In the case when the solid cold-transmitter, being a fixed clod, having the big enough heat-capacity, and has been dispensed with ability to prevent itself from the radiant and convective heat-influx, can accumulate the night cold-influx and lose, on and on, night in-night out, its warmth by the radiant and convective heat-exchange with the air and cosmic space around it, its temperature gets fallen and kept as low as much lower than the freezing-point of water. In such a case, an adequate organizer may contain only an inducer directs streams of the atmospheric air onto the clod with the solid water accumulation which are disposed above and immersed, with their lower ends, in the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator.
- In all other cases, when a cold-transmitter is not a solid clod, an adequate organizer has to contain not only an inducer of an air flow, but also a canal where small morsels, or particles, or droplets of a primary cold-transmitter, or the solid water fog of the secondary cold-transmitter get mixed up with the atmospheric air, float in it, freeze-out and accumulate in the solid state more water from it, and move with it to the area above the reservoir-accumulator of the collected liquid water. In this area of a canal, the small morsels and particles of the cold-transmitter, having become as bigger and heavier as accumulation of the solid water has made them, as well as having almost completely lost their speed—so their ability to float in the air, fall down to be melted in the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator, having covered this water and protected from evaporation into the atmospheric air having released the practically dry and cold enough air to go ahead in order to be used as a working medium in a source of cold.
- In the case when a solid cold-transmitter is not a simple clod, but an evaporator of a freezing refrigeration machine, the simpliest canal of an organizer is, at the same time, the fencing part of the evaporator prevents the solid water accumulation from being gone with the overspeeded stream of the atmospheric air.
- Devices by the item 4), same as steps to get some part of the collected liquid water decomposed, by the energy of the Sun-heat and cosmic cold, and transformed into the hydrogen-fuel, will be described or mentioned later in this description.
- Three drawings illustrate the substantial versions-branches of both embodiments of the invention:
- when the solid cold-transmitter is a fixed clod covered by the solid water accumulation assimilated in the liquid water through the partial immersion in this water collected in the reservoir-accumulator (
FIG. 1 ); - when the solid cold-transmitter is an evaporator of a freezing refrigeration machine covered by the solid water accumulation assimilated in the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator through transfer into the pseudo-liquid state gotten by the vibration (
FIG. 2 ); - when the solid cold-transmitter is small morsels and particles of water ice covered by the solid water accumulation assimilated cinjointly, having fallen down conjointly upon the surface of the liquid water collected in the reservoir-accumulator (
FIG. 3 ). - The solid cold-transmitter which is a fixed clod 1 (
FIG. 1 ), in order to be prevented from the outside radiant and convective heat-influx, is screened and fenced with ascreen 2. Theupper part 3 of thisscreen 2 shades the wide area under itself theside part 4 of thisscreen 2 is transformable such as to allow the outside atmospheric air, if it is cold enough, contact thesolid water accumulation 5 upon the solid cold-transmitter 1, or not to allow this, if the atmospheric air is too warm. Bothparts screen 2 are able to transfer the radiant heat only in the direction from the solid cold-transmitter 1 and thesolid water accumulation 5 to the one and only natural source of cold which is the cosmic space around the Earth. Such their ability is attained really and effectively enough, firstly, by being hollow, just like the John Perkins' tubes are, and filled up with the working medium keeps the liquid phase only if its temperature is lower than the temperature is required to increase the solid water accumulation. Secondly, surfaces of thescreen 2 looking at the sky are mirrors, while its surfaces looking at the solid cold-transmitter 1 and thesolid water accumulation 5 are sooty-black. Blades of theside part 4 of thescreen 2, following the pressure of the working medium inside them, are serried if the temperature of the outside atmospheric air is warmer than it fits the increasing of thesolid water accumulation 5. 0therwise, they are disserried. Thesolid water accumulation 5 allows the solid cold-transmitter 1 to lose its over-warmth and become colder through the radiant and convective heat-transfer, but to send some warmth from outside through the thickness of thesolid water accumulation 5 into the solid cold-transmitter 1 is impossible because the solid cold-transmitter 1 itself is made also like the John Perkins' tube. The working medium at the bottom of the solid cold-transmitter 1 starts boiling at the temperature of its liquid phase about +2° C.++5° C. and makes the thin layer of thesolid water accumulation 5, contacts all the surface of the solid cold-transmitter 1, get melted. But the quantity of the liquid phase is as little as it is required to prevent thesolid water accumulation 5 from overwarming by means of the boiling-crisis (when all the working medium has become gaseous). The warmth, required to make boil the liquid phase of the working medium at the bottom of the solid cold-transmitter 1, comes from theliquid water 6, collected in the reservoir-accumulator 7, when the bottom of the solid cold-transmitter 1 is in contact with thewater 6. This contact has to be and is interrupted if it is necessary to prevent the thickness of thesolid water accumulation 5 from the dangerous reduction. To devide the reservoir-accumulator 7 into two interconnected parts, which are able to receive some part of theliquid water 6 from each other and to control the level of thewater 6 under the bottom of the solid cold-transmitter 1, is quite enough as to get this interruption realized as to catch exactly the moment to begin (to resume) melting thesolid water accumulation 5. If the temperature of theliquid water 6 under the bottom of the solid cold-transmitter 1 is not high enough, it may be increased by adding of theliquid water 6 from the second part of the reservoir-accumulator 7 where thiswater 6, is warmed, finally by the Sun. When the blades of thepart 4 of thescreen 2 are disserried, the inducer 8 makes, if it is necessary, the natural gusts of the outside atmospheric air pass through blades better and contact thesolid water accumulation 5 such as tom increase (to restore) its thickness. In order to get theparts screen 2 supported, as well as to get the wide area beyond theside part 4 of thescreen 2 shaded, and, last but not least, to get the ground of all the shaded area as colder than the ground beyond this area as it is required to precool the atmospheric air, to actuate its gusts, and to make it give in more gaseous water, but prevent thesolid water accumulation 5 from warming as well as the atmospheric air from loss of its gaseous water by dew before the surface of theaccumulation 5 of the solid water, thesupport 9, which is made up just like the John Perkins' tube, includes the upper-disposed volume-condenser bearing and continuing thepart 3 of thescreen 2, the lower-disposed volume-evaporator which is immersed in the accumulator of the night cosmic cold, hidden not too deep under the ground of the shaded area, and which bears columns are, indeed, tubes sharing volumes of the upper and lower parts of thesupport 9, which volumes are separated from the volume of thepart 3 of thescreen 2 and filled by their different working medium with possibility of crisis of condensation (when evaporation is very less than condensation). The cold-accumulator is beyondFIG. 1 . - The final description of the
FIG. 1 will be resumed hereinafter. - When the solid cold-transmitter is an evaporator 1 (
FIG. 2 ) of a freezing refrigeration machine, to get the air-flow-inducer 2 fastened on theevaporator 1, to get theevaporator 1 and thecanal 3, embracing it, and the air-flow-inducer 2, fastened above the reservoir-accumulator 4 of the collectedliquid water 5, and to getcomponents vibrator 6 is that combination of components which is just necessary and adequate for the apparatus to realize the method regardingly to obtaining of the fresh water from the atmospheric air. Anyone known or imagined evaporator may be finally adapted as theevaporator 1 as well as anyone air-flow-inducer may be finally adapted, as theinducer 2. The same concerns thecanal 3, the reservoir-accumulator 4 and thevibrator 6. But if to select the better, theevaporator 1 has to have the high enough (better the highest possible) correlation of its heat-exchange surface area to its volume and weight. The shape and the smoothness of the surface do not have to prevent the solid water accumulation from following the vibration and sliding into the reservoir-accumlator 4 of the collectedwater 5 as well as the whole flowing atmospheric air from washing the whole surface of theevaporator 1. But the shape of the lower edge of the surface of theevaporator 1 has, however, to prevent the atmospheric air from contacting theliquid water 5 in the reservoir-accumulator 4. The productivity of theinducer 2 do not have to depend on the variable and high enough, aerodynamical resistance of theevaporator 1. Theevaporator 1, in its internal volume has to be understood in the wide meaning as a final expander of a working medium of a refrigeration machine of any cycle. So, it may be, quite probably, a freezing chamber after the turbo-expander of the compression refrigeration machine as well as after the cold end of the air Vortex tube uses the compressed air. - The final description of the branch of the invention illustrated by the
FIG. 2 will be resumed hereinafter. - When the solid cold-transmitter is morsels and
particles 1 of the overcooled solid water or carbonic acid (FIG. 3 ), these morsels andparticles 1, having been injected (involved) into and mixed with the streams of the atmospheric air, are made move in thecanal 2 under the force of the pushinginducer 3, freeze-out the gaseous water from this air, accumulate the solid water upon themselves and increase the size and the weight of each of them. The shape of thecanal 2 makes small morsels andparticles 1—carriers of the accumulated solid water lose speed of theirs, getting to the room above the reservoir-accumulator 4. At the moment when morsels andparticles 1 are just above the reservoir-accumulator 4, their speed is just as low as it prevents them from staying kept floating in the air and lets them fall down upon the surface of the collectedliquid water 5. Floating, while getting melted in thewater 5, they prevent this collectedwater 5 from contacting the dried atmospheric air may take back a lot ofliquid water 5. Having lost the small morsels andparticles 1, the dried atmospheric air, being under the force of the pullinginducer 6, leaves for use, most probably, as a working medium of a refrigeration machine of the air cycle. No regulations are necessary as conditions of some competence of the combination of these components. Any small morsels are not big morsels and any particles are just particles. Any shape of thecanal 2 that makes any flowing stuff lose its speed, while getting from one to other determined section, is acceptable. Any inducer can be used as the pushing one 3 and as the pulling one 6. Any reservoir-accumulator which prevents the collectedwater 5 from leakage may be finally adapted such as to fit thecanal 2. But, if to choose not “some competence”, if to choose the really high efficiency of the combination, these components have to be selectively determined. - Small morsels and particles have to be transformed into only particles, such as to increase radically the joint area of particles in the same their joint volume. What's more, sizes of particles, firstly, have to be as smaller as it may be limited only by the speed of their float in the moving air which speed can be close to zero, not exactly zero, secondly, they have to be close enough to each other. Two last requirements prevent from selecting as particles of the carbonic acid, are not viable while being too small, as particles of water ice made from morsels by mechanical pounding allows very wide difference of the sizes of the pounded particles, as even particles of water ice with equal sizes, if they have to be transported, for they are not transportable. So, in this case, the very small particles of the water ice have to be made just at the point of their involving into the stream of the atmospheric air. Despite sounding extravagantly, such a requirement is, however, easy enough to be realized. The most important thing—the
liquid water 5 is just at the point it has to be. Thefit device 7 to turn theliquid water 5 into the necessary amount of the smallest liquid droplets may be chosen from many sold patterns and immersed in theliquid water 5, The freezing cold air, to turn the just made liquid water droplets into solid water proplets and to overcool them, may be brought from some freezing refrigeration machine disposed far beyond the combination shown in theFIG. 3 . But the necessary freezing cold air can be produced by the Vortex tube (tubes) 8 just at the point it has to be used. The Vortex tube is indeed the main part of its compression refrigeration machine of the air cycle. This tube, like any other variety of such machinesthas as the cooler of the compressed air as the rotary expander, but has them in one compact room and without any moving detail. And what's more, if to immerse the Vortex tube 8 together with a good deal of theconnection tube 9, brings the compressed air from an air-compressor, in theliquid water 5 as a heat-accepter, the annonced cold productivity of the Vortex tube 8 will be considerably, increased and, at the same time, the freezing temperature of the cold air comes from the cold end of the Vortex tube will be considerably lower than it was announced, really entering the cryogenic field. Just made and kept up cloud of the solid water droplets is sucked up, in no time, by the involving stream of the atmospheric air and mixed with it. In order to make the whole stream of the atmospheric air get penetrated by the freezing solid water droplets proportionally and give up all the gaseous water possible to be taken, the surface of thecanal 2 has juts to turn some part of the air stream into whirls which bring the air streamlets are richer of the gaseous water to the droplets have already accumulated some Solid water upon themselves and become some warmer, so, able to keep on increasing their accumulation, contacting just the air is richer of the gaseous water than it was acceptable for them before. When the fresh water has to be obtained from the very dry atmospheric air with the temperature of the dew-point about −50° C., that is close to the limited freezing temperature—about −60° C. may be achieved at the cold end of the Vortex tube, the mass of accumulation of the solid water upon the surface of the freezing-solid water droplets is limited as well. The top value of this mass is about 10% of the primary mass of these water droplets. In other words, to obtain 1 Kg of the fresh water from such dry atmospheric air has to take turning of about 10 Kg of the liquid water into the freezing solid water droplets with their temperature about −55° C., having spent a lot of energy as the price of the fresh water in so extreme conditions (of the real desert). - The considerable advantage of the branch of the invention illustrated by the
FIG. 3 over the branch of the invention with vibration of the solid cold-transmitter (FIG. 2 ) is the extraordinary compactness based on the extremely developed surface area of the totality of the freezing solid water droplets. Such compactness lets this branch win even the effectiveness of the energy expenditures despite the only 10% correlation between accumulation and the primary mass of the freezing solid water droplets. This advantage gets realized and even strengthened by the simple, compact and effective design of the apparatus deserves to be described particularly such as to make anyone sure that the best results are really attainable. - The organizer of interaction between the myriad
smallest droplets 1 of the overcooled solid water (FIG. 3 ), with the solid water accumulation upon it, and the constantly renewed portions of the atmospheric air includes acanal 2 of four substantial zones and an air-flow-inducer of; two substantial parts. The first zone of the canal 2 begins from the pushing part 3 of the air-flow-inducer and makes the atmospheric air get accelerated up to its involving speed; the second zone of the canal 2 is a chamber where the myriad smallest droplets of the liquid water 5 get frozen and overcooled in the stream of the freezing air comes from the cold end(s) of the Vortex tube(s) 8; the third zone of the canal 2 is a chamber of interaction whereinto the droplets of the cold-transmitter 1 are gotten involved by the stream of the atmospheric air, where they are gotten mixed with the atmospheric air, freeze-out from this air gaseous water, increase the solid water accumulation upon themselves, lose, up to zero, the speed of their movement along this zone, and fall down upon the surface of the collected liquid water, which surface is the lower border of this zone, which zone gets uninterruptedly widened as the droplets move; the fourth zone of the canal 2 is a chamber wherefrom the dried atmospheric air is pulled out by the means of holes between this zone and the third zone below it, which holes force the atmospheric air stream to stop, to release droplets, and to make a U-turn such as to enter this zone through these holes are disposed just above the entrance of the reservoir-accumulator 4 of the collected liquid water 5. The reservoir-accumulator 4 of the collectedliquid water 5 is a basement disposed under the third zone of thecanal 2 of the organizer and beside the first and the second zones of thiscanal 2, having common walls with these zones, and having, inside, the immersed in the collectedliquid water 5 Vortex tube(s) 8, its(their) connectingtube 9 to the air-compressor (beyond theFIG. 3 ), and adevice 7 which turns theliquid water 5 into the myriad smallest droplets. Moreover, the centre of the bottom wall the fourth zone, which is the top wall of the third zone, is speared from above into the first zone of thecanal 2 of the organizer such as to force the stream of the atmospheric air to keep on getting smoothly accelerated and start its spiral move which move is supported by juts of this wall. And moreover again, the cold end(s) of the Vortex tube(s) is(are) out of the reservoir-accumulator 4 of the collectedliquid water 5 and immersed, a little bit, in the second zone of thecanal 2, same as the shooting end(s) of the droplets-making device(s) 7 is(are), while the hot end(s) of the Vortex tube(s) is(are) juted outside, a little bit, from the reservoir-accumulator 4. Such an arrangement of all mentioned components gets this (FIG. 3 ) branch of the invention realized in the exclusively best way which has to be claimed for can not be either ignored or improved, or overreached. - The indisputable advantage of the branch with the vibration of the solid cold-transmitter (
FIG. 2 ) is ability to interact with the refrigeration machines of any cycle. Among them, the most interesting chance may be given by the absorption refrigeration machine turns the high potential heat into the cryogenic freezing cold. Such a machine, same as the Vortex tube, does not have any moving detail. and what's more, this machine does not need any other source or transformer of energy, if there is the concentrated Sun-heat, being able to achieve the unprecedented output and afficiency, if there is the accumulated cosmic cold as the cold-source to accept its heat of condensation. So, this branch of the invention can use the energy of Sun-heat and cosmic cold, while the branch illustrated by theFIG. 1 uses the cosmic cold, being insulated from the Sun-heat influxes, in order to obtain the fresh water from the atmospheric air. - In so far as a boiler of a working medium of an energy-generating machine (for example, electro-turbo-generator) can also use the concentrated Sun-heat, being disposed in the focus of the parabolical mirror, same as the boiler of the absorption refrigeration machine, the branch of the invention that provides the use of the compressed air (
FIG. 3 ) can, and has to, be involved in the circle of the technical solutions those let obtain the fresh water even from the dry atmospheric air without to spend any fuel. Such a point makes necessary to mention and to underline the features those allow to take energy only from the Sun-heat and the cosmic cold among other features of the invention as the key-basic distinguishing features. - The screen 2 (3, 4) which is developed with the support 9 (
FIG. 1 ) is vitally necessary for the branch of the invention with the solid cold-transmitter—a fixed clod 1 (FIG. 1 ). But to be prevented from the outside radiant and convective heat-influx is very useful for two other branches, illustrated byFIGS. 2 and 3 , as well. To get the parabolical top-mirror-surface of the upper part 3(9) of the screen 2 (FIG. 1 ) is vitally necessary for the branches of the invention illustrated byFIGS. 2 and 3 . But to be shaded by thescreen 2 with the parabolical shape of the top mirror surface of its parts 3(9) is not bad at all for the branch of the invention 35 illustrated by theFIG. 1 . And what's more such ascreen 2, indeed, is vitally necessary for this branch as well—for it gives the chance to shorten radically the duration of getting and restoring the necessary thickness of thesolid water accumulation 5, upon the solid cold-transmitter 1, before to start or to resume its assimilation in the liquid water 6 (FIG. 1 ). Such a chance is to freeze-on upon the solid cold-transmitter 1 (FIG. 1 ) the initial thickness of the water ice, made from the initial liquid water and kept frozen through freezing by the cryogenic cold air streams, taken from the cold ends of the Vortex tubes (FIG. 3 , they are not shown in theFIG. 1 ) take the compressed air from the compressor (beyond theFIG. 1 ) gets driven by the energy, generated by a generating machine (beyond theFIG. 1 ) with the heat-taking device 10 (FIG. 1 ) includes the boiler 11 of the working medium of this machine and the Sun-heat accumulator 12 (FIG. 1 ), disposed in the focus of the parabolical mirror top surface of the parts 3(9) of thescreen 2 are driven by the device 13 (FIG. 1 ) such as to follow the Sun, moving along the sky. So, all three branches of the invention have to include the screen 2 (FIG. 1 ) withdevices FIG. 1 ) which are not shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 only in order not to over-load these figures. The Sun-heat accumulator 12 is just necessary in so far as the Sun does not shine 24 hours a day and in so far as this device allows to obtain the fresh water, using the invention at, least 24 hours a day if days are sunny and if the size of the parabolical mirror is, accordingly, larger than it may be enough for the same gain per hour of the fresh water, for 24 hours of sunshine. - Here is the place and the time to describe the multifunctional screen (2,3,4,9+13
FIG. 1 ) as a design. In such embodiment, this screen is a hollow, made from the heat-conductive thinwalled enough material, figure of two separated chambers, filled separatedly with their boiling working mediums, and of four zones in shape: the first is the upper zone, which, if it's necessary, has its mirror top surface parabolical, screens a ground area that is considerably wider than the disposed under this zone area of the “city”-locality of the combined cold-transmitter, “organizer” and reservoir-accumulator of the collected liquid water; the second is the lower zone which, being hidden in the accumulator of cold, a little bit under the ground, is as wide, or wider, as the ground area screened by the upper zone of the screen; the third zone is the vertical columns between the upper and the lower zones, which columns are disposed in vertexes of the polyhedron that surrounds the area of the “city”-locality that disposed under the central part of the upper zone of the screen; the fourth zone is the totality of the vertical sides of this polyhedron, each of which sides continues the first, second and third zones of the screen and has a window where there are valve-blades which are able to shut up the “city”-locality under the first zone or to direct the atmospheric air into the “organizer” or upon the surface of the solid water accumulation covering the fixed clod of the solid cold-transmitter; the central part of the first zone F the screen within columns and sides of the polyhedron is the first chamber of the screen filled with the boiling working medium such as to get and accumulate inside the locality disposed under this chamber the natural night cold with the lowest possible temperature; the rest volume of the first, second, third and fourth zones of the screen is the second chamber of this screen filled with the boiling working medium such as to get and accumulate the night cosmic cold and to keep around the polyhedron of columns and sides under the rest part of the first zone of the screen such a temperature of any surface before the entrance of the “organizer” or before the solid water accumulation upon the fixed clod of the solid cold-transmitter which temperature gets the atmospheric air good precooled but prevented from a loss of its gaseous water as a dew upon these surfaces. Each of the valve-blades may be hollow, filled with a thermo-sensetively changing the pressure working medium, and able, being immovably fastened by one of its three “hollow-forming” plates, to turn two others and to bend one of these two under the force of surplus pressure in the “hollow” such as to shut up all of windows automatically by the groups of the valve-blades, which (blades) are, indeed, in their totality, the third chamber of the screen, when the atmospheric air before them is too warm, or to get each of windows open and to make the atmospheric air enter the “organizer” or contact the solid water accumulation upon the fixed clod of the solid cold-transmitter when the temperature of the atmospheric air is good to do so. In the upper zone of the screen, there is an open hole with a flexible tube to receive the leaving dry atmospheric air and to get this air outside (to its user); The upper parts of columns and sides of the polyhedron, above windows of the sides, are also flexible and length-variable such as to let, if it's necessary, the upper zone of the screen, being driven by a drive, located under this zone, follow the moving Sun (along the sky). - The hidden under the ground accumulator of the night cosmic cold may be very beneficially used to cool up absorbers and condensers of any involved heat-transforming machines. This point is the begining to make this invention be a base of profiting the energy of the concentrated and accumulated Sun-heat together with the accumulated, eosmic cold for many and many energy dependent purposes.
- In so far as the size of the screen 2 (3,4,9), accordingly, the size of the parabolical mirror can not be enlarged unlimitedly, the way that provides to use the concentrated Sun-heat simply direct in device 10 (
FIG. 1 ) at the relatively low temperatures (about 550° C.+750° C.) has to be appraised as not the best. The efficiency of the parabolical mirror may be increased if the temperature of the Sun-heat accumulation is considerably higher, in other words, if some working stuff (medium) of the Sun-heat accumulation can be (convertibly) transformed at the considerably higher (thousands ° C.) temperature. To have such a stuff (medium) is really necessary to solve as the problem of the fresh water shortage as the problem of the fuel resources exhaustion. All today environmentally clean hydraulic and wind electro-generators together are not able to cover the fuel necessity for the air and land transport. The hydrogenical engines for any vehicles of tomorrow have practically built yesterday. Any ecologically harmless technologies provide to obtain the hydrogen (for the huge usage in many industriees, for example, electro-weld, production of margarine and others) from the fresh water. The most prevalent of them is the electrolysis, taking the huge amount of electro-energy, covered today by electro-generators which are consummers of fuels. So, the really right way to solve both problems is to choose the fresh water as the working stuff for the final accumulation of the Sun-heat-energy, which stuff can be convertibly transformed into hydrogen plus oxygen by the means of the high temperature gets maintained in a device disposed in the focus of the parabolical mirror. Such a device may include the only Sun-heat accumulator 12 (FIG. 1 ) as a “decomposer” of water into hydrogen and oxygen and allow the boiler 11 to take any place beyond the focus of the parabolical mirror—for to realize the accumulated Sun-heat by the means of rejoining hydrogen and oxygen is possible everywhere and more convenient—closer to an energy-generating heat-transforming machine. - Any kind of devices to get water decomposed into hydrogen plus oxygen through the high temperature gets maintained in the focus of the parabolical mirror are acceptable. A device, to be disposed directly; in the focus of the parabolical mirror, to take, alternatively, the fresh liquid water from the reservoir-accumulator disposed under the screen, to decompose this water into hydrogen plus oxygen, to separate them and to transfer, to liquefy and to containerize them separatedly, also under the screen,—can be imagined. The big reason to imagine such a device is the possibility to get water decomposed by the highest temperature that is the base of the highest heat-efficiency. But the highest temperature, which is good to plasmatize the water, is not good at all for materials of those parts of this device which have to separate and separatedly transfer hydrogen and oxygen, being affected as by the highest temperature as by the accordingly high pressure in a volume which has to maintain the highest temperature. To imagine materials are good to stand such extreme conditions is very much harder than even this device on the whole. To imagine materials, which are good to accumulate the Sun-heat at the highest temperature gets the water plasmatized, is hardly possible today and, probably, ever. But without accumulation as the compensation of the night hours, the highest temperature has to be considered half lower than it is (2000° C.+2500° C. instead of 4000° C.+5000° C.). Such a reality makes us choose the temperature under 3000° C. with a heat-accumulator instead of temperature over 4000° C. without a heat-accumulator, at least today. But, nevertheless, such a device can not be denied and forgotten for ever: God's Power does not depend on our imagination. If to limit our high temperature dreams under 3000° C., the imagined device for getting water decomposed into hydrogen-fuel may contain the disposed in the focus of the parabolical mirror Sun-heat accumulator, which is combined with a transformer of this temperature into the high power of the electrical current as well as with the disposed under the screen electrolyzer, decomposes the water, may be taken from the reservoir-accumulator, by the power of this electrical current, and all the means to liquefy and to containerize the obtained hydrogen and oxygen. This Sun-heat accumulator may be imagined as a thermostat with its working medium changes the state of agregation of matter from solid to liquid while taking the heat and from liquid to solid while losing the heat, having the melting-point high enough, but acceptable for the very safety of a thermo electro transformer. Such a transformer may be imagined to be a known semiconductive thermo electro transformer with its “cold” joints get kept cold by the night cosmic cold which is accumulated, same as the Sun-heat is, to be used 24 hours a day.
- Having completed the whole description of the invention, here and now, it's more appropriate, than it was before the begining of this description, to contrast the really possible versions of the ecologically clean energy-supply of the obtaining of the fresh water from the atmospheric air and of the hydrogen—fuel from the fresh water.
- The river-hydroelectric-stations do not aggravate the greenhouse effect, but they are not less coarse negative meddlings in the nature's balance, having flooded the gigantic territories before their dams.
- The waterfall-hydroelectric-stations have long ago gotten empty the geography-possibilities of the new projects.
- The wind-electrogenerators are in accordance with the non-socialistic concept of the intansive local energy arrangements for energy-supply of the local consumers, but, however, it is a pity, areas of the stable wind-activity, in the nature, are quite not always in accordance with areas of the bitter shortage of the fresh water and, if to take into consideration the general danger of terrorism regarding any sources of the fresh water, to get the wind-electro-energy accumulated by the known (even by the improved in some future) accumulators and to get this energy transported inside these accumulators is as less real as its trasfer through wires those are quite possible objects of terror. To deny the very possibility of an addition of the energy-security of arrangements for obtaining of the fresh water from the atmospheric air and of the hydrogen-fuel from the fresh water by the means of the wind-electro-generators is just free of bases, but, here, it will be wrong to forget that, being, same as the heat-mechanical electro-generators and the air-compressors, arrangements with their moving masses, the wind-electro-generators are much less reliable than the heat-absorbing absorption refrigeration machine and the semiconductive thermoelectrical transformer (without moving masses), supplied with energy of Sun-heat and cosmic cold just at the place where they are in usage for obtaining of the fresh water from the atmospheric air and of the hydrogen-fuel from the fresh water, which fuel can be transported much more intensive than the charged up electroaccumulators and much more protected against any terror than the electro-transfer through wires.
- Here, it is necessary to underline over again that what was said before the begining of the description of this invention. A chance to refuse the ecologically clean and independent energy-supply of the apparatuses for obtaining of fresh water from the atmospheric air and of the hydrogen-fuel from the fresh water, having connected these apparatuses to existent electro-power network, same as it is habitual to do for electro-lighting, refrigeration of goods, airconditioning, and all electrified technologies, is OVER (!)—it could be the accelerated approaching of the end of our civilization. Legislators and governments will be forced to pro-hibit such actions within borders of their countries and to consider, such as to punish, violations of these prohibitions as the energetics terrorism.
- And, finally, it is necessary to forestall about futility of temptations to consider this invention some-how else than the only one, by the together-solved global problems, by the conceptual intention, and by the interconnected and mutually-dependent mode-ways, technical solution, no part of which can be profited without a licence. There're sufficient bases for such a declaration:
- all distinguishing features of the invention as a method and as an apparatus for obtainings of the fresh water from the atmospheric air & the hydrogen-fuel from the fresh water, which obtainings are alternatively based upon the only energy of Sun-heat and cosmic cold described completely and will be set in the only one common author's claims in so far as: neither the fresh water from the atmospheric air, nor the hydrogen-fuel from the fresh water are obtainable without the common for that, key-basic distinguishing features, which features provide to profit the screen with its mirror-parabolical top surface, which screen secures, on the one hand, protection of the interacting with the atmospheric air cold-transmitters from the strange heat-influxes, accumulation of the night cosmic cold and forecooling of the atmospheric air with some part of this accumulated cold before this air contacts some of these cold-transmitters, and, on the other hand, concentration and accumulation of the Sun-heat, which heat is gotten transformed into refrigeration-output & electro-power for obtaining of the fresh water from the atmospheric air and which heat gets the fresh water transformed into the hydrogen-fuel either direct or by the means of an electrolyzer, which electrolyzer is gotten electro-supplied by the thermoelectrical transformer, which transformer profits as the accumulated Sun-heat, as the accumulated night cosmic cold, same as the heat-absorbing absorption refrigeration machine and the heat-mechanical electro-generating machine do profit; being supplemented with ones specific distinguishing features, the key-basic distinguishing features make possible to obtain the fresh water from the atmospheric air, being supplemented with other specific distinguishing features, the key-basic distinguishing features make possible to obtain the hydrogen-fuel from the fresh water, and being supplemented with ones and others specific distinguishing features together, the key-basic distinguishing features make possible to obtain as the fresh water from the atmospheric air, as the hydrogen-fuel from the fresh water at the same time (concurrently);
- variability and choosability of some distinguishing features in the description and in the claims of the invention, providing just possibility, but no necessity of their realization, predetermine the juridical necessity of licence in order to realize each and all of the chosen distinguishing features of the invention if even some other of these features gotten ignored, while the non-licensed manufacturing by parts and assembling of apparatuses will be the primitive (so, punished) crime;
- the practical expediency and gain of not to ignore any of the distinguishing features of the invention will be prompted by the economical necessity to achieve the biggest energetic advantage such as not to lose among competitors.
- Areas of the Earth where each light day is sunny are very-limited. But, if to compare these areas to areas of the oil resources and to compare the fund of the whole oil energy to the Sun energy, the presence of the areas where enough of days are sunny and where the fresh water can be turned into the hydrogen-fuel by the energy of the Sun-heat and the cosmic cold, having been obtained as from the traditional water sources as from the atmospheric air, through this invention, can make us sure that problems of fresh water shortage and fuel resources exhaustion can and will be overcome. And just joint solutions of both of these problems are necessary—for the transportability of the liquefied hydrogen and oxygen allows to obtain the fresh water from the atmospheric air, through this invention, by the power of the materialized energy of Sun-heat and cosmic cold, anywhere on the Earth where a lot of days are not so sunny, staying beyond possibilities of terror.
- The significance and perspectiveness of this invention can be underlined at the background of achievements in the field of producing of fuels from some agricultural products through the high biotechnology. If even to forget expenditures for manuring, planting, growing, watering, harvesting and biotechnological remaking, those artificial fuels are, any way, organic ones and, after their combustion, people will gain a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2), in the best case. To replace some oil with such fuels is better than nothing, but who knows how long problems of “CO2”, hothouse effect and global warming will allow us to stay alive?! Combustion of hydrogen brings only the purest water. Such is the perspective difference.
- The significance and the unlimited perspectiveness of this invention can be manifested because of its provision of no socialized in Marxian way and just individualized, at the level of a single family, single business, production and usage of as the life-important fresh water, as the life-important and environmentally clean hydrogen-fuel, which provision destroys as the painful efforts of the bellicos Islam to get our civilization ended, as travails of the socialistic prognosticators of the better future with the socialized—no private-capitalistic property for means and products of our labour, for the intellectual products, for our personal freedom.
- Here, just before claims, it's the time to inform that, in so far as, on the one hand, this invention provides the possibility to profit any known or imaginable method and apparatus to turn the accumulated Sun-heat and cosmic cold into refrigeration-output & electro-power, reserving for the author or a licensee to choose a technical solution, and, on the other hand, any chosen solution has to and will be profited for many technologies, under the screen, in a sunny area, following this invention, one of such solutions (with pretension to perfection) is proposed by the author as an additional invention which has to be considered together with this invention, being, certainly, classified and examined as it is.
- This invention, under my #HZ002, and the additional invention, under my #HZ001I, were mailed Aug. 26, 2006, concurrently, each in its own envelope, from the same post office: PAI9II6.
