Abstract

Creating different temperatures inside a tube (or tunnel or any kind of construction) will lead to air circulation, because the warmer air need to rise, so it will exit and go out withdrawing the cooler air. This circulation will rotate a fan connected with a dynamo. Creating different temperatures by leaving one part of the tube on air, and covering/burying the other part underground, below water, in house, by cork or clay or others. In cold temperature the part on air will be cooler than the other part covered/burying part. In hot temperature the part on air will be warmer than the other part covered/burying part.

Description

TUBE FOR UPWIND POWER STATION

Technical Field:

Wind energy.

Background Art:

When we produce energy by using petrol, gas, coal and other materials, there are many disadvantages as high prices, damage our environment and dangerous for our atmosphere

Accordingly we need green, safe, continuous and cheap energy

There are some solutions as solar cells, wind turbines and others, but they are expensive and need wide area, that's why they are not very practical.

Other solutions as drilling the earth could produce energy, but it's not only very expensive and costly, but also it could be very dangerous, we don't know what could happen for the temperature of our atmosphere, or what about earthquakes.

Disclosure of Invention:

We all know that warmer air rises, accordingly withdraw the cooler air

So we can create this circulation inside a tube ( or tunnel or any kind of construction )

The invention is to have a tube, whatever is the size or shape or color or material ...

This tube has to include inside two different temperatures

In a part of the tube, it has to include cooler air, so we have to decrease the temperature as much as we can

In the other part of the tube has to include warmer air, so we have to increase the temperature as much as we can

Note: I don't mean it should be only cold and hot air together, but also cool and cooler air, or warm and warmer air ...

Any different in the air temperature will lead to a current circulation of air because hotter temperature air has to go out to rise, accordingly it will withdraw the colder temperature air

Finally we can use this air circulation to produce energy by installing fan and dynamo inside the tube

* We can make the difference of temperatures inside the two main parts of the tube by very easy and simple way

By burying one part of the tube underground, below water, inside house, covered by cork or clay or other equivalent materials ... ( or all previous items together ), and the other part to be on air ( or normal condition ) [ preferable from stainless steel material or equivalent to increase inside the tube the cold temperature - in cold climate - and hot temperature - in hot climate -]

This will lead to a different temperature inside the tube in the different seasons

Like this, we will have always two different temperatures inside the tube, so we can get air circulation to rotate a fan

In cold Climate: the part on air will contain cooler air inside, the other part which is buried/covered will contain less cold air inside

In hot Climate: the part on air will contain warmer air inside, the other part which is buried/covered will contain less hot air inside

There's one more benefit for this invention in hot climates, we can get some of the cooler air inside the burying/covered tubes to push it inside the house to decrease the temperature inside the house, instead of the outside warm air in the summer

Description of Invention:

( Figure 1 ) the tube [ or tunnel or any kind of construction ]

1 ) part including cooler air 2 ) part including warmer air

Claims

1 - Have a tube ( or tunnel or any kind of construction ) to create different internal temperature, by many different ways as burying/covering one part, and leave the other part on normal condition.

2 - This different temperature will lead to air circulation.

3 - Use this air circulation to rotate a fan connected with a dynamo to produce electricity.

4 - Get some of the cooler air inside the buried/covered part of the tube to decrease the temperature inside the houses during the summer.
