Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a system for generating electricity from water and compressed air, which is part of the technical process sector for obtaining electrical energy and more specifically in relation to clean and renewable systems, referring to an installation to generate electricity using the kinetic energy that is generated by combining water, air and the system used here, being based on the Archimedes principle that says “all submerged body in a liquid it experiences a push from the bottom up equal to the weight of the volume it dislodges. " So far this physical principle has been used rather stagnant in buoys, beacons, buoyancy cameras, cranes, etc.

  • the system for generating electricity from water and compressed air allows to develop the physical principle related above, using a cistern in the form of a rectangular prism and dimensions in accordance with the installation that is It is going to be carried out inside, which is composed of a certain amount of containers as a bell or inverted bucket, superimposed but separated from each other by a minimum distance for assembly and placing as many of them as possible along a chain in an endless circuit, mounted on two crowns toothed by its outer part, defining a ferris wheel, these crowns located at the bottom and at the top or mouth of the cistern respectively, with the water at the necessary level and the air coming from an electric compressor that through hoses it takes it to the bottom where valves located at the passage of the vessels through the lower crown the l lenan of air, beginning the ascent and with it the drag or shot of the chain moving its kinetic energy to the upper crown, where said energy will be collected for a variety and multitude of methods to transform it into electricity mainly.

For this, it would be enough to change the cistern with a steel structure or other material that supports the essential mechanism of this invention, replacing the blind walls with a mesh to avoid unforeseen events and changing the base with points of attachment to the bottom by reinforced concrete.

  • the cistern has in the center of its widest walls a rib-like nerve with a half-round column 14 with a hollow 12 in its lower part and a chair-like recess 4 in the upper part, at whose points the respective axles 10 and 11 bearing the sprockets or crowns 5a the lower one and 5 the upper one are supported. It also has two pipes 9a, 9b for air conduction and also another pipe 8 for water supply and maintaining the level.
  • the container 7 has a longitudinal groove 7a with three holes 7c for by means of pins 17 to be fixed to the chain 6 of links that is arranged between the two crowns.
  • link 6a of the chain has three hollow axes 6b with pins 17.
  • Chain 6 shows a structure formed by the links of three slightly arched axes.
  • the pin 17 is duly fixed to the container 7 by the accessories that complement it, such as: two pins 18, four flat washers 19, four sealing gaskets 20, two pressure washers 21, two pressure nuts 22 and two locknuts 23.
  • the cistern 1 is the passive but fundamental element because it contains the essence of the invention. Its shape is important to use the least amount of water or other liquid, since the depth of the cistern is important, as we said before.
  • the containers 7 have three pairs of holes in order to engage the links 6a of the chain 6 where they are fixed by pins 17 (see figures 2 and 3).
  • the container 7 has a wedge shape to exert the least resistance both in its rise and in its re-entry to the liquid element 16. Its ribbed face serves to collect the air from the valve 9bl and lead it to the container 7 that precedes it.
  • the air is produced by an electric compressor and conducted by the two flexible hoses 9a, 9b of different flow to the bottom of the tank 1, where the valve 9bl permanently releases the air to the gutters 7d of the container 7 to maintain a slight tension, so that when the mouth 7e of the container 7 is placed at the height of the valve 9, it is finished filling with air coinciding with the re-entry of another container in the water, the latter being conditioned by a microsensor not shown in the figures which opens and closes the flow of air 15 to the passage of a container 7.
  • the hose 8 that maintains the necessary level of water, reaches the bottom where it combs in the form of a comb so that when the water comes out it drags the mud along the ramps 2a, 2b and is deposited in the pit 2.
  • the chain 6 has different links, a thicker central link joining two adjacent links in a tongue and groove until the chain length is completed.
  • the central part of this set is larger and thicker as it is welded to the support 25 in "U" shape by means of which each container or bucket 7 is perfectly secured.
  • the fastening is carried out by means of screws or rivets through the holes 26 of the support and 27 of the bucket or container 7.
  • the mouth of the container 7 has a rubber skirt or other flexible material coupled in a machi-female fashion to better collect the air and avoid possible friction with the container that follows.
