Abstract

A device for doing work by effective conversion of the surface energy of natural water basins: lakes, seas and oceans into rotary movements. The device is a floating platform with adjusted mobile balloons, creating the necessary lifting force. Each balloon is set at the end of a lever by forks. The lever is bearing in its centre of symmetry on the platform and the forks provide independent turnings of the balloon into two perpendicular to each other planes. Every movement of the water surface, taking a balloon out of balance, causes turning of the balloon into one of the two allowed planes. The movement of the balloon into a certain direction turns into a rotary movement via chains, gear drives, shafts and ratchet mechanisms. In rough waters of the basin, the balloons work in pairs deviating from the vertical plane. That deviation is also turned into a rotary movement.

Description

A DEVICE FOR DOING WORK BY CONVERTION OF SURFACE
WATER ENERGY
i The technical field the device refers to.
The device for doing work by efficient convertion of surface water energy is a floating platform with adjusted to it mobile supports. The relative movement of the supports is rendered by mechanical transmissions into rotary movement of shafts located on the same platform. The device constructed in that way could be applied for converting the natural surface energy of closed water basins such as lakes, seas and oceans into electrical energy.
Background characteristics of the state of technology
A similar solution is not known to the best of our knowledge.
. . Technical aspect of the invention
The invention aims at creation of a simple and reliable device for doing work by efficient converting the natural chaotically wasted water, wave and tidal, energy into electrical energy.
The solution of the problem is a device, characterized by the fact that the deviation of the water surface from its equilibrium state, is passed to balloons mounted on forks, those bearing on levers that are hinged to main supports of a platform. On it are the mechanisms converting the surface water kinetic energy into rotary movements of shafts. On each balloon there are at least two diametrical pairs of points positioned in two perpendicular to each other planes. Each pair of points is linked with a chain that goes in a double chain-wheel which is in a bearing in a shaft mounted immovably on a main support. On that double chain-wheel goes another chain, driving a wheel on a shaft on which there are two ratchet mechanisms situated in cone gear wheels. Those gear wheels are engaged in others on another shaft. On it there is a flywheel and a flange for transmitting the rotary movement which was obtained in a given direction. Both ends of a lever are also linked by a chain that goes in a separate doubled chain-wheel, bearing on a certain main support. In that double chain-wheel goes another chain contour, driving some ratchet-mechanisms and the corresponding flywheels and flanges. Explanation of the supplemented figures.

Examples of realization of the invention
A model of the device is shown in figures 1 to 6 as follows:
A floating platform III with main supports 121 in which there are bearings at a different height for at least two perpendicularly crossed levers /31. At the end of each lever there is a balloon /4/ that is hinged via bearings /8/ to a fork 111 which goes into bearings 191. In this way there is a possibility for each of the balloons /4/ to have independent deviations in two perpendicular towards each other vertical planes. A reflector /34/ of water energy is fixed to the platform under the balloons 141. The diametrical points A-A /A1-A2, , A7-A8/ are positioned in the plane of bearing of the balloons /4/ in the direction of the levers /3/. The points are linked to each other with steel ropes and chains /10-1/ that go in the doubled CW /11/. The diametrical points B-B, positioned in planes perpendicular to those of A-A, are in fact located in the planes of the bearings of the balloons /4/ round the levers 131. These points are also linked to each other with steel ropes going in rollers /14/ and chains /13-1/, that go in doubled CW /15/ set in main supports /21.
The central points E /El, E2, , E4/ at the end of each lever /31, for just one pair of balloons mounted on the same lever 131, are also linked with steel ropes and chains /5-1/ going in doubled CW 161, which are set in main supports 121. From the doubled CW /11/ up to the deck III of the platform in prolongation of the main supports/2/, there is a second chain contour /10-2/, going in a CW /16/, which is fixed to a shaft /29/ on the platform. On each of the shafts /29/ there are conic gear wheels /21/ and in each of them there is a ratchet mechanism. The ratchet mechanism consists of a wheel /20/ fixed to a shaft /29/, pawls /27/ and springs /28/ located in channels that are made in the gears /21/. Each of the cone gear wheels /21/ is engaged with another smaller one /22/ which is on a shaft /24/ and the shaft goes in bearings /25/. On each of the shafts there is a flywheel /23/ and a flange /26/.
From the doubled CW /15/ there is also an outgoing second chain contour /13-2/ going in CW /17/ fixed on a shaft /29/.
From the doubled CW /6/ goes out another chain contour /5-2/ that goes in CW /18/ that is on another shaft /29/.
For each main support 121 there are at least two perpendicular crossed shafts /33/ installed at different heights. Bearing necks are formed on these shafts, where are set rubber and metal bearing bushes /30/, stuffed in the hubs /34/, to which levers /3/ are fixed. On the shafts /33/ there are sliding bearings /31/ stuffed in doubled CW /11/ or CW /15/. There is a hot-press stopper /32/ for providing an axial immovability of the CW /11/ and CW /15/ in relation to the shafts /33/.
Use of the device
The device works as follows:
The surface water kinetic energy can have different characteristics depending on the natural conditions, i.e. different water mass with different amplitude of deviating from the balanced position. The device is with such a design that the most of the momentary water energy is to be harnessed. There are mainly three cases:
. Low value of the water energy /slight motion/
In such a case one can observe deviation of each of the balloons around the points of suspension in two vertical planes. When there is a deviation in the plane A-A /A1-A2 A7-A8/ causing the turning of any of the balloons in the bearings /8/ in relation to the forks 111, a progressive motion is observed in the chain contour /10-1/ at which point the doubled CW /11/ turn at a certain angle. The bigger the deviation of the points A-A from their balanced position is, the greater the angles of rotation of the chain wheels /11/ are. With their turning, the wheels put the chain contours /10-2/ into motion too. In their turn they drive the chain wheels /16/ at certain revolutions and a certain direction. As they are fixed to the shafts /29/, the latter are put into rotation together with the ratchet mechanisms /20/ set in the conic gear wheels /21/. Each ratchet mechanism is meant to keep the rotation of each of the conic gear wheels /21/ in the same direction. The ratchet mechanisms, depending on the direction of the teeth of the ratchet /20/, pass along a clockwise or counter clockwise motion. There are ratchets with different direction of the teeth in the two cone wheels /21/, which are set in the same shaft /29/. In that way, not depending on the alternating direction of the shafts /29/, caused by chaotic or sinusoidal motion of the water mass, one of the gear wheels /21/ on a shaft /29/ turns only in one direction and the other gear wheel- in the opposite direction. The achieved constant in their direction rotations of the gear wheels /21/, via the engaged to them gear wheels /22/, are passed along to the shafts /24/. Flywheels /23/ are set in the shafts/24/ for getting constant with the time revolutions of these shafts and the achieved final rotary motion via the flanges /26/ is passed along to electrical generators not shown here.
The same is observed at deviation of any of the balloons in the planes B-B
/B2-B2, , B7-B8/. In that case, there is a motion is the chain contours
/13-1/ which put the chain contours /13-2/ in motion. These contours cause alternating rotation of chain wheels /17/ set in certain shafts /29/. Two independent rotations with opposite directions are achieved via the ratchets and the gear wheels on these shafts.
High value of the water energy with clearly marked sinusoidal characteristic
In this case, there are such moments when one of the balloons IAI on a certain lever /3/ is on the top of a wave and the other balloon IAI on the same lever is at the foot of the wave. This is the best wanted case because the deviation of the lever /3/ from its balanced position is the biggest and the accumulated water energy by the balloons IAI working in a pair via the lever /3/ has the highest momentary value.
Some medial cases are also possible when the balloons are at different heights from the amplitude of the undulatory motion. In those cases, which are numerous, the deviation of he levers /3/ from their balanced position is different i.e. different in value water energy is made use of.
At the deviation of any of the levers /3/ at any moment at any angle from its balanced position the central points E-E /E1-E2 / are at different vertical coordinates. That causes the motion of a chain contour /5-1/, which in turn rotates a doubled CW /6/ and a chain contour /5-2/ is put in motion as well. The latter rotates the chain wheel /18/ and it turns the shaft /29/. The mechanical diagram of each shaft group /29/ is the same, so two independent rotations in the opposite directions are achieved via the ratchet mechanisms and the gear wheels located on each shaft /29/.
. General case - high value of the water wave energy with a number of resonant undulations
In that case a deviation of any of the balloons can be observed, around any of the suspension points in relation to a lever 13/, as well as a common deviation of a pair of balloons in relation to a lever /3/. In practice, this means concurrent motion of the chain contours /10-1/ and /5-1/ or of /13-1/ and /5-1/.
The doubled CW /11/ and /15/ are purposefully set in shafts /33/, in relation to which levers /3/ are bearing on, so that points A-A and B-B have the same radii, described in relation to CW /11/ or /15/ at a deviation of any lever /3/ at any angle with respect to the horizon, while keeping the continuity of the separate chain contours.
The separate chain wheels /16, 17, 18/ are set at different levels on a fundament /19/ because of constructional consideration (as the maximum number of the separate unidirectional rotations on one main support 111 is twenty i.e. there must be twenty separate shafts of the type shaft /29/).
In order the biggest deviation possible to be achieved of each of the balloons around its balanced position and hence the use of a greater deal of the water energy, under the balloons, fixed on the platform is a cone with a saddle- shaped surface acting as a reflector of the water energy. That reflector causes additional interference of the existing water waves around the balloons and so at certain moments their deviation around their balanced points gets still greater.
