Description
Solar heat collector and heat focuser to melt Sand/metal/salt or to produce Methanol and to generate simultaneously electricity by the Cooling Methods Anergy circuits
1.- Technical Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a Solar heat collector with two focuses like "Casse Grain" telescopes or satellite dishes, to melt with the second focus sand/metal/salt or to produce Methanol and the said Solar collector generates simultaneously electricity -even at night- by different "Cooling Methods" circuits using the in water stored and absorbed -not exceeding 99°C— heat, gained from cooling the first focus with water, as 99°C allows the use of plastic or rubber connecting water tubs and the use of rubber sealing rings between the surrounding thermal isolating glass tubes and the first focus instead of expensive material.
2- Prior Background Art
- World wide there are nearly uncountable solar heat collectors, collecting solar heat resp. thermal energy and if they produce electricity they add up -to my knowledge- to heating water up to 375-6000C, to drive with steam (from water) a turbine, driving a generator and to achieve this in the night they store high temperatures in expensive oils, or by melting salt, or just by storing the heat in cement blocks.
- Electricity is also produce from solar rays by Photovoltaic or Triple Junction cells, but generally heat lowers their efficiency. That is way triple junction cells have to be cooled down, which still until now consumes energy, instead like in this invention producing by the cooling Methods circuit additional electricity from the absorbed thermal energy.
- "Casse Grain" is known from telescopes or satellite dishes, but not used as heat collector.
- How to produce Methanol -as alternative fuel- with heat and pressure from Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide (gained from heating up Carbon Dioxide) is known, but producing it as a side product along with generating electricity from solar heat is not a known Method.
- Reaching high heat in one upper solar focus is known, but how to transfer the solar rays heat downwards where it is needed in a factory or to melt dessert sand along with generating electricity is not known. That is why nobody uses solar energy directly neither to melt sand to excavate and straighten up dessert sand streets (nor metals) nor salt, which are the cheapest common materials and energy on earth to produce building walls, stones etc.
3.- Disclosure of the Invention and Method
3.1 Introduction of physical laws and facts used by the method of this invention
- The complete and detailed description of the invention could only be realized after understanding the drawings description and the introduction of physical laws/facts used.
- To over come my language defaults/mistakes, I will illustrate and stick my explanations in this introduction to international known Physical Laws/Facts and practical realistic example, used in the cooling methods circuits to produce electricity, that helps to gain a physical understanding of gas and liquid behavior to generate from thermal energy electricity, to make it easier for every body and to make shure this invention and Method is understood.
LA - Bernoulli's corrected and added total pressure law drivinq a flow enqine
-
Pt = 1/2 x D x v2 ; (D) = Density (v) = speed ( Pf ) Flow/dynamic Pressure
Pst = D x g x h ;(h) = Height; (g) = Earth gravity ( Pst ) Static fluid weight Pressure
PD = PDI - P02 ; (P1) = high pressure; (P2) = low ( PD ) Static Pressure Difference
Pr = Pf + Pst + PD = Total Pressure ( PT ) Corrected Pressure law
- As we have a max. height difference of 1 meter in the Anergy circuits, we will ignore the weight pressure Pst make it easier. Total Pressure law adds up only to = Pj = Pf + PD I. B - Bernoulli's Law : stating the relation between force(F) and velocity/speed(v) of liquid in two connected pipes with different diameter resp. sizes: A1/A2 = v2/v1 ; F1/F2 = A1/A2. Defining, after the condenser with a broader diameter, the liquid gas speed in both pipes.
II. - Fact of converting fluid flow f Pf= 1/2 x D x v21 into a mechanical drive to produce electricity { compared to an Expansion engine, Flow engines do miracles }.A flow engine such as a Water (Pelton, Francis, Kaplan, Curtis) Turbine, rotary engine or gear engine, convert the flow energy of liquid gas/fluid/water movement into a mechanical kinetic drive (a circular movement) by an efficiency up to 94% in a Pelton Turbine { more than an expansion engine could theoretically (max. 66%) ever reach }. A flow engine in the "reverse" energy consumption is a pump with an efficiency up to 93% till now (Expansion engines in "reverse" energy consumption are compressors, both have bad efficiencies, due to their enormous heat loses) to understand this an example from Germany.
- In Germany (Goldisthal), they save overproduced accessed electrical power (as the case in batteries, but on a larger scale) from the general electricity network, through pumping water up a lake located on top of a mountain. During peak electrical demand, electricity is generated by turbines, which use the water flow downwards (pressure difference). This process involves energy loss of 15%-20%. This means that out of 10 MW, about 8-8.5 MW is recovered. Let's assume the amount of electricity recovered is 8.19 MW (= 90% x 91%)
- This means that the efficiency of the pump is about 90% (converting electricity into flow pressure to pump the water up the mountain) and the efficiency of converting the water flow into electricity is about 91% (generating electricity from the water flow down-wards). Rotary flow engines and pumps with one/two tied closing moving blades are preferred. Converting water flow with a static pressure into a mechanical drive to generate electricity, is similar to = converting flow of fluid/liquid gas (carbon dioxide/refrigerant/liquid) with pressure differences into a movement in the Anergy circuits, bearing in mind the difference in density between water and the used Refrigerant or liquid Carbon Dioxide or fluid. Converting electricity into flow by pumping water resembles pumping refrigerant/fluid/liquid carbon dioxide. The Anergy circuits differ only with the additional step of discharging coldness (= heat exchange) at the cold-water tank, to provide them with additional renewable thermal energy. Coldness resulting from the expansion of liquids to gas/vapor, produces a pressure reduction behind the flow engine and razes the pressure difference driving the flow engine with more force, to produce more kinetic energy (electricity) than consumed by the pump.
III. - Facts of the different stages of gas
A.- Always below critical temperature and higher than their boiling temperature:
1.- The Normal spread gas stage in a pressure around 1.013 bar or higher, as f. ex.
Air, than on Earth compressed with a higher pressure than 1 ,013 bar till
2.- "Partial Liquefied Gas" on Earth (resp. a part above is gas and a part below is liquefied, due to earth gravitation which liquefies the gas bellow) than additionally compressed with under critical pressure and cooled/kept bellow critical temperature till
3.- "Completely Liquid Gas" bellow critical temperature
B.- Above the critical Temperature and/or above the critical Pressure : there is only
One stage of "Over Critical Gas" available, with higher or lower density. At this stage the liquefying of gas is not possible (only in some exemptions with special conditions)
IV. -Only in the total gaseous stage (III.A.1&B), those approximate laws are applied:
A.- V2ZT2=V1ZTi, P2ZT2=P1ZTi (P) Pressure, (T) Temperature in Kelvin, (V) Volume/size This fact delivers the compression heat from Air/Exhaust gas compression B.- Constant * T χ n = P χ V. Explains the relation of gas density(n) to the Pressure (P), to Temperature(T) and to the Volume/size(V).
V. - Pressure fact for (partial and/or) liquefied gases below "Critical" temperatures, stating that there is a potential increase in the pressure of partial and/or liquid gas when temperature is slightly increased, till the temperature reaches the critical point. (Table) - Example of the potential increase of pressure with "completely liquid R134 Gas"
Example with completely liquid Carbon dioxide (CO2 = R744) gas as aiding circuit
- This property is applicable to all gases in a temperature higher than their boiling points and beneath their critical point. This property is used in the Anergy circuits to increase the liquid gas pressure potentially, though in water stored solar heat before reaching the flow engine and this property it is used also by the expansion-/divergence-coldness of gas, to lower inverse potentially through cooling the gas pressure after the flow engine.
Vl. - The Anergy circuits, the AZCs and the heat pumps Energy equation: Gas compression circuits producing cooling power and heat (=thermal energy). # CompressionZpumping Energy/Electricity + exchange of gas expansion coldness with surrounding temperature (= Anergy = thermal energy) = Total Energy in the circuit = Usable heat/drive + energy losses (by efficiencies and/or heat losses)
- This states that a heat pump or an air condition circuit produces higher -amplified by a factor- heat energy, in relation to the energy consumed by its pumps/compressors, due to the difference between the cooling power produced and discharged, which absorbs the surrounding temperature = Anergy. Anergy differs from traditional thermal energy, as producing colder temperatures is a precondition, to be able to use the normal surrounding water temperature as a thermal heat source in Anergy circuits. The Cooling Methods circuits in the water tank absorb any surrounding temperature or added thermal energy from the solar heat collector, to deliver kinetic energy.
- Example from traditional air conditioners (or heat pumps) circuits available around global markets, which use as Refrigerant gas R410 or R407 (or R134 etc.):
1 KW (pumping or compressing electricity) for the compressor + 3 KW discharged coldness (cooling the room resp. Anergy or heat exchange) = 4KW in the circuit = 3.2 KW released heat (outside the room) + 0.8 KW energy loss (this includes converting electricity into compression and/or flow losses, the compressors/pump and other heat losses, etc.)
- All heat losing and efficiency losing (which appears also as heat) parts of the used Anergy circuits of the Cooling Method are placed in the water tank to be recovered there.
- Theoretically, the kinetic energy used to compress/pump the gas can be amplified to higher thermal/heat energy by a factor up to 8.1 times, by discharging the cooling power of the circuit, which is more than the 3.2 relation factor mentioned in the above m. example.
- Notice: In all cases of pumping/compressing gas (refrigerants, or carbon dioxide, or air etc.) in a circuit, heat energy and coldness is produced. The thermal energy gained is always higher than the energy used and consumed by compressing/pumping the gas.
- Also to be noticed: that there are variances between different Anergy circuits used and also between different gases used, in terms of the amplified heat factor and the cooling power produced, as a result of compressing different gases and/or pumping liquid gases.
VII.- Heat absorption Factor:
Indicates the different heat absorption abilities of gases/liquids/fluids in its stages
- For example, R410A in its liquid state absorbs heat by a factor around 1600. { In its gaseous state and according to its density it absorbs heat by around 800 or less. } A bit lower values are obtained by other refrigerant gases as R407, R134 etc...
- Carbon dioxide R744 in its liquid state absorbs heat by a factor around 2200. In its
gaseous state and according to its density it absorbs heat by about 1100 or less. Example for the heat absorption factor: Water absorbs heat by a factor around 4200. To heat up 1000L of water in a thermally isolated tank by 6 degrees Kelvin, f. ex. from 3°C to 9°C, within an hour (3600 sec.) 10001 x (9°C - 3°C) x (4200 / 3600 sec.) = we need about 7KW/h electricity. That means conversely : in 100OL of water heated up to 99°C we have stored about 100KW of thermal energy {= 10001 x (99°C - 9°C) x (4170 / 3600) }, which can be used 32 by the Anergy circuits to deliver electricity and cooling power31. Example for the thermal Energy stored in water, to be able to imagine the size of it.
- In 10 cubic meter of water, heated up to 99°C, there is 1000KW =1 MW stored to be used
- In a small pond32 (10 m wide, 10 length, 10 deep) with 1000 cubic meters of heated up water to 99°C, there is 100 MW (Mega Watt) of thermal energy stored.
- In a pool (20 x50x10) with 10.000 cubic meters of heated up water to 99°C, 1000 MW= 1GW of thermal energy is stored (nuclear power plant out put is 1GW/h), wherein the pool 32 has to be covered by a light thermally isolating swimming cover, to prevent the water from evaporation, which has a strong cooling effect on the stored waters temperature.
- A small Iake32 (50 x200x12) with 120.000 cubic meters of heated up water to 99°C, has stored 12GW thermal energy, to produce 1GW/h electricity by Anergy circuits at night.
IX. - The solar thermal energy for example in Egypt (or north African countries, or Sudan till Senegal, Arabian peninsula, Iran, Pakistan, southern USA, Mexico, etc.) In summer one1 square meter of dessert (or a house roof) can deliver during daylight up to 8_KWh/m2 heat and in winter it starts at 2^5 KWh/m2 in the North (at the Mediterranean sea side) and up to 5_KWh/m2 in the mid till south of the Sahara dessert during daylight.
X. - Energy law for circuits filled with fluids in static pressure less than 0.8 bar # Compressing or pumping energy + Anergy (= thermal energy = heat exchange between expansion coldness and the surrounding temperature) = Total energy in the circuit = kinetic energy (produced by flow engine to deliver electricity) + energy losses.
XI. - "Natural rotation" fact of fluids and gases; is used permanently in the water tank. Warmer fluids (including water) and gases (in closed circuits) rise naturally and colder fluids and gases descend naturally. Only Water bellow 4°C differs in behavior.
3.2 Description of the Method and invention
Solar mirrors heat collector and heat focuser with two focuses an upper bigger one and a high heat smaller focus behind and/or bellow the collector, similar to "Casse Grain" dish /telescope but not equal, wherein the second focus is used to melt Sand/Metals/Salt/etc, or to produce Methanol or just to heat up additional water with/without integrated triple junction cells and wherein the first focus temperature does not exceed 990C to be able: A.- to use rubber hoses and plastic connecting tubes B.- to store heat in water tanks/pools /ponds/lakes to generate Solar-electricity by Anergy circuits in the night C- to use simple elastic rubber pressure sealing rings, as the first focus is surrounded -as thermal isolation- by an air vacuumed glass tube/pot/cylinder and cooled by cold water from Anergy circuits of the cooling Method -which generate simultaneously electricity- D.- to use triple junction cells and wherein the collectors big mirror(s) warmness is also absorbed by water tubes/pipes/hoses in or placed at the back of the bigger collecting mirrors.
- Used also as single round solar thermal heat -lower temperatures than 990C- collector, which stores his absorbed and gained heat in an isolated water tank for the electricity generating process at night, through one of the different Anergy circuits of the Cooling Method and saving vise versa their cooling power in a different water tank for the day time electricity production, to cool both focuses down to 99°C. This way -if applied- we can add now electricity producing triple junction cells in the (first or) second strongly cooled focus.
- Used also in long collector ditches/trenches, dug directly by bulldozers as parabolic curve into the deserts sand and covered with hoses/tubes carpets/mats with a layer of reflecting aluminum-foil on top of them, to reflect solar rays into the first focus, which reflects the rays back into a small lower ditch, where the Methanol producing pressure tube is placed.
- Used -only with one focus- as heat collector with solar ray reflecting tents, covering the water ponds/lakes and/or covering south directed foots/versants of mountains. And also as
- a cheap special solar collector for sunny developing countries and/or in flooding crises, used without a pump using an aspirator, driven only with solar-heat, water and a cloth filter, to boil/distill the floods water, changing it to clean cocking/dinking water and/or used with a flow engine and a dynamo/alternator in the under-pressure (< O.δbar) Anergy circuit, to generate electricity and cooling power, which condenses humidity, moister and vapor to clean drinking water.
- The basic idea is to collect solar heat and to concentrate it in the second focus, to be able (not traditionally heating water above the its critical temperature but) to melt sand/salt/ metal bellow the collector, using the free solar energy and the most common free and/or cheapest materials on earth -sand, salt and water- to produce building stones with the salt With the sand to flatten desert streets / trenches directly on the spot without any materials, or to produce fast high walls for water dams and to protect fields from desertification. With water by producing Hydrogen either by overheating with a catalyst or by the electrolyzing process, to be added to carbon mon-/di-oxide to produce methanol (the fuel of the future).
- Through reflecting the solar rays from the first focus to the second focus bellow, a big problem appears, the heat will add up in the first focus and melt the small mirror away. So the first focus resp. the mirror bellow the focus must be cooled, which makes the use of the second focus uneconomically. By using the cooling Methods Anergy circuits to cool down the first focus reflector and producing through the cooling Method -just by the way- electricity from the absorbed heat, this invention turns to be extremely economical though producing on the side and by the way additional electricity. This leads to razing the heat gathering efficiency of this solar heat collector, A.- by surrounding the first focus with a vacuumed glass casing/pipe/pot, so gained heat is not lost B.- by gathering the heat of the big mirror(s), so as much solar heat as possible is gathered, C- not allowing the heat to exceed 99°C, to be able to store it in water tanks/ponds/pools/lakes to generate electricity even at night through the Anergy circuits of the cooling Method.
- Which leads us to the different electricity generating Anergy circuits of the cooling Method and their explan-ations, which are explained in details in the following detailed description of figures. But basically the Cooling Methods Anergy circuits produce a kinetic drive to generate electricity, through a high pressure difference, before and after their flow engines. Through expansion/divergence of liquid gasses or liquids it creates a strong cooling power, which lowers the pressure additionally behind the flow engine.
- And in gaseous Anergy circuits through additional heating -up to 99°C— of the liquid gas the pressure is razed tremendously before the flow engine, driving the flow engine with a very high pressure difference and producing kinetic energy, which drives a dynamo/alternator/ generator, delivering from waste-heat -absorbed by cooling the focus- additional electricity.

4-2 Detailed Description of Figures and Drawings
I.- All the different rectangled collectors used
- Figure (1): The reflecting focuser 4, respectively the smaller mirror is placed before the first focus3, to send the focused solar rays back to the second high heat focus.
- If the reflecting focusers mirror4 has the same parabolic curve as the big mirror(s), in a smaller size, the parallel solar rays are reflected in a parallel way backwards into the center of the collector and the second focus will have the same size of the first focus.
- If the reflecting focuser -placed right before the first focus- is a straight mirror4, the second focusδ will be a line/point bellow and very near to the focusers mirror4, or if the mirror4 is more distanced it will be bigger and will cover too much of the collector2.
- If the reflecting focusers mirror has the same parabolic curve as the big mirror(s), but it is a bit straightened, the second focus will be a line/point at the center of the collector or -. .___ behind and bellow the collector and this is the reflecting focuser used in this invention.
- Figure (2) To collect the main mirrors surface2 warmth or heat, additional tubes/ hoses 8 are passed through the mirror(s) or are attached to the back of the mirror(s), to col- absorbing the mirrors heat into water, to prevent the mirror from strong shrinking/ expansion by keeping in the mirror a steady temperature (f.ex.60°C) during sun light.
- Figure (3) If the collector's mirror(s)2 are turned till 30° degrees, the second focus doesn't move that fare away, if the turning center/point/axe is near to or is the second focus. This encourages using the collector directly as a roof of a hanger or an industrial hall, to deliver directly and bellow the collector, the need necessary heat for the production.
- Additional to the main salt/metal/sand melting or the Methanol producing task, razing the efficiency of the collector and his heat collecting property is advisable through
1.-) surrounding the cooled focus by an air-vacuumed9 glass pipe/pot7, used as thermal isolation, not to loose any of the gathered heat/thermal energy.
2.-) not exceeding with the heat absorbed the temperature of 99°C by pumping more water
I- to avoid strong water evaporation resp. the boiling point which creates pressure and to
II- lower the temperature difference delta between the water and the surrounding temperature, as this will raze the heat lose factor and to
III- lower the cost of thermal isolation material and to be able to
IV- use simple rubber hoses and plastic/proplean pipes to transport the water and to
V- use rubber pressure sealing ring between the glass and focus and in turning parts and
VI- to be able to use water as a thermal storing medium in tanks/pools/ponds/lakes to be able to generate solar electricity with Anergy circuits at night and to be able
VII- to enter triple junction cells into the cooled focus, to produce electricity during sunlight additionally, to be able to release some Anergy circuits for maintenance. Absorbed heat is stored in water tanks as thermal source, to generate with Anergy circuits electricity at night. 3.-) The big mirror2 warmth is additionally absorbed by water pipesβ, which lowers the parabolic curve deformation, through shrinking and expansion, razing its efficiency.
- Figure (4) One turn able unit, used only as solar heat collector for the house use, delivering in form of saved heat in a water tank hot water for washing, or to generate electricity with Anergy circuits, which deliver additional strong cooling power. The second focus will be than a strong dark metal water pipe placed in the weight/gravity center of the rectangled collector on which the collector turns. The solar heat collector is used just as a water-heater here, delivering hot water and storing its heat, to generate 24 hours electricity.
- No additional cold-water tank is used, as the cooling power of the Anergy circuit is used in summer inside the house and in winter, a ventilator discharges it externally. The cooling power simultaneously condenses moister from the air, which delivers additional clean condensed water for washing and other purposes, important for flooded and dessert areas.
- The metal pipes integrated into the big mirrors surfaces are creating a self carrying (body) curve, which is only supported with holding pipes 18 or iron strings between both rectangled mirrors, to strengthen them and to keep both big mirrors in their parabolic curved form, hanging on their own gravity/weight centeri 1 and turning easily around it, to follow the sun by 180° degrees from sunrise to sunset.
- One straight vertical/upright mirror20 is placed always at the end of the collector opposite the sun, to reflect the last focusers angled sun rays back into the 2nd gravity centered focus
- Figure (5) Controlling the temperature by adjusting the distance to the second high heat focus reaching up to 20000C, to be used in different applications as producing Methanol 250-2700C, or melting salt 260-4000C, or melting metals 300-12600C, or melting
sand 1300-16000C and also if the angle of the reflecting focuser is moved opposite to the sun, following the first focus the collector can be fixed, but it lowers the temperature a bit, due to the mathematical sinus-angle-effect on the size of the solar rays collecting surface.
- Hanging and moving coversiO are added, at the sides, as heat isolation against the colder surrounding air and wind, protecting the heat of the ongoing melting area.
The reflecting focuser mirror4 is a bit bigger now, to allow a lot more water to pass its tube/ pipeθ, as it has to take in and reflect all the focused solar raysi, which can reach in the second focus more than 20000C.
In melting factories or excavating desert water channels or flattening machines of dessert- roads by melting the desert sand directly, the collector is placed on top of the road machine or factory, to melt/heat up material just bellow it. And as it is the roof it can't be turned more than 30° degrees to the west or east. But other additional 30° degrees can be reached, by moving the reflecting focuser mirror4 according to the 1st focus3 movements. The last suns descending and rising 30° degrees are ignored in the melting or in methanol trenches.
- Figure (6) Solar Methanol production in price worthy ditches/trenches, which are dug directly by bulldozers as parabolic curve into the deserts sand and fixed as a parabolic curve by melting the sand a bit. This trench is covered with flexible heat absorbing carpets/ mats of hoses/tubes, which are covered with a layer of reflecting aluminum-foil on top of them, to reflect solar rays into the first focus, which reflects the focused solar rays back into a small lower centered ditch, where the Methanol producing tube is placed, which is filled with a gas mixture under a pressure between 40-45 bars and heated up to 250-2700C, to produce Methanol -the fuel of the future- from hydrogen and carbon monoxide (gained from carbon dioxide by heating it up) or carbon dioxide with a catalyst metal like iron. Equations to liquefy Hydrogen to Methanol by adding carbon monoxide gas and heat Electrolyzing water 2H2O = 2H2 + O2; Heating + Catalyst + 2CO2 = 2CO + O2; Heating & compressing 2H2 + CO = 3H-C-OH = Methanol (The fuel of the future instead of oil)
II.- The round parabolic collector used, to melt metals or sand precisely or used with additional triple junction cells placed at the 2nd focus, which has to be than cooled down to lower than 99°C, to raze those cells and the heat collectors efficiency .
- Figure (7) Round Casse Grain (similar but not equal) electro-magnetic waves collectors are know from satellite receiving dishes and Casse Grain week light collectors are know from telescopes. As soon as it changes to observe the sun a lot of problems appear as the first focus is heating up tremendously (not mentioning the second), which is solved in telescopes, by selizium-carbide heat resisting mirrors, or by placing the mirror in a vacuum and /or stretching the focus as fare away as possible deep into the earth, or just through steady and costly cooling of the 1st focus by water, in which triple junction cells can than be placed
- As we have two focuses, one bellow the round collector to melt different Metals or sand, but -to be able to use the collector as focuser- we need to cool down the mirror in front of the first focus, through cooled water pipesβ, which are holding/carrying simultaneously the focusers mirror including the cooling water cylinder/potθ behind it, which is surrounded by a thermally isolating air vacuumed glass7 cylinder/pot.
- Figure (8) Shows the stabilizing heat absorbing pipesδ behind the collector's big round mirror, which will support the thin metal layer of the mirror2 as a self-carrying chasse.
- Figure (9) Shows the stabilizing heat absorbing pipesδ as a spiral behind the collector's mirror, which is the mirror2 and a self-carrying chasse.
- Figure (10) the round collector are turned by 180° degrees around the 2nd focusδ or are turned around a different center point between the collector 2 and the 2nd focus behind it, to be used as salt/metal/sand etc... melting focusing collector, during the whole day following the sun. The spiral pipe8 is integrated into the big collecting mirror2.
III.- Different tent solar collectors, including the heat storing water tank/pond/lake
- Figure(11) The water tank/pool/pond/lake32, have to be covered by a light thermally isolating swimming cover, to prevent the water from evaporation, as evaporation has a strong cooling effect on the stored waters temperature and additionally, which can be isolated against cooling winds, through tents covering the whole area of the pool/pond/lake. Small natural bays can be also used as lakes and separated from the rest lake by melted -by this invention- sand walls, 5 meters thick, as water-dam.
- If we use tents to cover the tank/pool/pond/lake32, we can produce reflecting tents -cloth with an aluminum foil-, which reflects the solar rays into several different focuses, to use
those tents enormous big surfaces additionally as solar heat collectors, cooling (shade in the dessert) simultaneously the area bellow them. If the tank/pool/pond/lake is lowered into the earth and covered by melted 5 meters thick sand plates, the tents area can be used as factory/station/for housing/as agricultural land.
- Those simple additions are reached, with no big investment costs but: The aluminum foil 2 stuck on the tents cloth, Some hoses/pipes holding the tents cloth and absorbing its heat, some stands and cables to hold and move the focuses between them, according to and following the suns movements, some rubber hoses/pipes33 delivering cooled water from the cold water tank31 to the several focuses4 and transporting -up to 99°C— heated water away from the focuses to the heat storing tank32, with or without entering triple junction cells into those cooled 1st focuses3 of the tents. The electricity generating Anergy circuits, -by being heated up24 and discharging28 their cooling power in the water tank 26- are placed under those tents, between both cold31 and hot32 water tanks/pools/ponds/lakes.
- Figure (12) illustrates a southern directed rocky dessert foot/versant of a mountain covered also by solar heat collecting tents (similar to Fig.11 but not equal, as it is only half of tent in Fig.11 ), as this rocky space is not used for some thing else. Those tents are also used to condense the humiditv/moister/fog from the air during the whole night, delivering additional drinking water. Both heat32 and cold31 water tanks are placed bellow the tents.
- The stands -which are holding the focuses and supplying them through hoses and pipes with cooling water- must be able to move forward-backward and left-right and up-down, to be able to adjust to the different focuses4 places changing by the suns angles from east till west and winter to summer and the focuses4 them self s are turned a bit additionally. Each tent slice is to be considered as a straight cut out sliced piece of a round collector. The tents slices are carried by cables/curved pipes placed between the slices and can be (as in the sand trenches) hose-carpets absorbing the solar and the internal tents heat loses.
IV.- The cooling methods different Anergy circuits, using the solar collectors stored thermal energy in the water tanks/pools/ponds/lakes, to generate electricity:
A.- Gaseous Anergy circuits of the cooling method use the stored heat directly
- Figure (13) illustrates the gas compression Circuits, (Law. IV), which partially liquefies his circled gas by compression & cooling, through a compressor/pump25, by compressing gas in a descending heat discharger27 or condenser/serpentine/pipe (G), placed including the compressor/pump25 in a long thermally isolated water tank, to cool the compressed gas bellow its critical temperature, to be able to partially liquefy the gas (Law III.A.2). The liquefied gas is than passed by a check valve and directed upwards in a climbing narrower piped.), to be reheated in the upper coil24, through the upper water heat in the tank, using the 'Natural Rotation" of water (Law.XI) and using the property of liquid gas -the potential increase of pressure by raising its temperature (as in the table of Fact.V)- to receive/operate by a higher pressure difference the flow engine21, driving a generator22, which are both placed in the pressure reducing tube23. The circuit discharges the expansion coldness through the following heat exchanger28 in the cold-water tank 26, to absorb the waters temperature as thermal energy source, to produce electricity, producing -just on the side- the cold water used to cool down the collectors focus in sunlight.
- Example per equations to understand: Using Bernoulli's laws, which states the relation between forces(F) & liquids velocities(v) in different sized pipes.{FG / FL = AG / AL = VL / VG} (gas G & liquid L). 1/2 x D 6 x vG 2 = P G = P i =1/2 x D i x Vι 2 Knowing in one tube (Afi/L) the liquid or gas flow pressures in the condenser are equal. So if speed is halved(1/3), the density is four(9) times as thick (liquid), due to the potential velocity factor (v ι_)2. Narrowing( n ) the following climbing pipe(ALn) to a quarter(1/9) size of the gas pipe(AG/L) size resp. to half(1/3) its diameter, we will have than the same velocity VG = VLΠ ; from
AL/ ALn = vLn / vL ; with different densities (DL) » (DG) and with different forces (FLn) < (FG) resp. from the equation the force, in the narrow(A Ln) pipe, is by a quarter(1/9) weaker.
- Considering that we have instead of gas now static liquid gas (highest density) and by adding its own gas compression suspended (due to different "Heat Absorption Factors" from gas to water in the tank than to liquid gas) heat (+) back to the now liguid gas, the static pressure (from Fact V & table), will rise potentially and is converted to added flow pressure (Law.lll) driving -as the check valve (a triangle) blocks a return- the flow engine. Knowing that a constant amount of gas/liquid is circulating in the closed circuit as flow (F) than PFLΠ+ = 1/2 x (DL) x (vFLn+)2 as (VFLΠ+) » (VG) and (DL) is now liquid.
Passing the strong liquid flow PFLΠ+, through the heated up water to 99°C, via the coil24, the flow pressure PFLΠ+ rises tremendously to PFLΠ+99 =P DI before the flow engine21.
- Considering that the "thermally isolated pressure lowering tube23" drops the static pressure PD2 behind the flow engine (placed inside the tube23) through cooling -as the liquid gas expands to gas- and suction, the flow engine will be driven with a tremendous pressure difference (PFL.Π+99- PD2), much higher than the compressor/pump had initiated. Kinetic energy from flow engines21 generates electricity by generator22, covers the com- pressors25 electricity needs and delivers a lot of excess electricity and cooling power28.
- Figure (14) illustrates the liquid gas pumping circuit, filled completely with liquid gas An example: "Completely Liquid R134 Gas" in a surrounding temperature of 3O0C (See table above from Fact V and the Total pressure Law III ):
If the lower water temperature of the tank26 is 300C degrees the liquid gas pressure is 7.7bars. Inserting a pump25, which develops 2 bars flow pressure and a -2 bars suction pressure, the temperature of the liquid gas before the flow engine (similar to the capillaries resistance in AICs) will raze up to 38°C degrees Celsius. After the flow engine21 the pressure will fall, through the pumps25 suction and the liquid gas divergence and the liquid gas temperature in the isolated tube23 and will reach a temperature of about 20°C(5.7bars), which lowers the pressure additionally in the "thermally isolated pressure lowering tube23", used as pressure difference driving the flow engine21 , generating electricity22.
- Discharging the cooling power lower than 200C after the tube23 through the serpentine- pipe28 in the water tank26 and absorbing24 at the top while rising additional solar heat 95°C, we receive before the flow engines21 a pressure of about 36 bars and a driving pressure difference of about 30bars (= 36 - 6), from the "pressure lowering tube23", which has reduced the pressure to 5.7bars behind the flow engine, through saved coldness 200C. The coldness is discharged at the warmer water and during the nights the sinking cold water through "Natural rotation", is saved in the cold water tank31 , to separate it from the hot water. The Anergy circuit is recharged24 during the nights from the water tank32 with thermal energy up to 95°C < Anergy circuit pressure, which is used to generate electricity
- Any thermal energy losses from the Anergy circuit, which appears as heat, is absorbed immediately through the water tank 26 -with his lower temperature than 2O0C- as heat will rise and add to the pressure difference through the "Natural Rotation" of the water.
- Figure (15) illustrates the liquid gas pumping circuit, filled partially with liquid gas,
It is the same circuit as in Figure (14) but stronger and only partially filled with liquid gas. This partial filling with liquid gas in liquid gas pumping circuits, is only used to secure the partial natural continuous liquidation in the circuit, so the pump is pumping only liquid gas. - This circuit produces a lot of cooling power, specially when the liquid gas is minimized in the "thermally isolated pressure lowering tube23" and the size of the tube23 is maximized, to maximize the expansion coldness, to reduce the pressure and to raze the pressure difference, which drives the flow engine21 even stronger. Tube23 works here as natural evaporator and in the same time as liquidizer, to secure the liquid pumping property The flow engine21 and the generator22 are placed inside the tube23 in the upper gas area.
- Example for the minimum liquid gas filling of CO2, to receive partial liquid gas (From Fact IV.2.) Gas starts to liquefy partially at a specific minimum gas liquefying pressure/quantity. The pressure differs between the different gases/refrigerants and relates to the surrounding temperature too. With CO2 f. ex. at steady and cooled 2O0C surrounding temperature, the CO2 gas will not liquefy under less pressure than 5 bars. Knowing that tubes filled completely with liquid CC^gas at 200C, create about 57bars pressure, we can estimate that the minimum partially filling with liquid CC^gas is higher than the relation of > 5/57, to reach a durable continuous natural partial liquidation of CO2 gas in the tube23 as evaporator during pumping. But to guaranty that the pump25 will find always liquid gas at the bottom of the tube23 and to be able to discharger the expansion coldness through liquid CO2 in the serpentine-pipe28 at the water tank26, we have to raze the liquid gas filling according to the circuit pipes size to about 1/8 of the circuit, securing a minimum of liquid gas at the bottom of tube23, to be circulated by the pump25.
- This example gives us an Idea about how strong the liquid gas can expand (1 to 11) and the cooling power generated by this circuit. And how much solar heat (thermal energy) from the collectors focus it can absorb (Anergy) and transform into rotation/kinetic energy by using the tremendous pressure difference before and after the flow engine21 , resulting from the cooling power (in tube23) by expansion, added to the pumps25 flow pressure added to an "over critical" pressure rise (up to 85bars) from about 95°C heat added, which produces a tremendous pressure difference as kinetic driving force to generate electricity.
- Opening and closing valves/faucets 29 control the amount of liquid gas flow resp. the electricity generated from this partially with liquid gas filled liquid gas pumping circuit.
B. Backup aiding Anerqy circuits used at the end of the night, to generate electricity from rest heat (100C to 300C), if the stored 95°C solar heated water is consumed. 1.- Gaseous circuits: back to La - Figure (13) The gas compressing and liquefying Anergy circuit: Uses his own gas compression heat27 discharged in a small thermally isolated water tank30, to raze the flow pressure of his own liquefied gas with the heat from the same water tank30, through "Natural rotation" of the water. He needs only to get rid resp. discharge/exchange his liquid gas expansion coldness to gas resp. his cooling power28 with a rest temperature of 200C to 300C, to recharge his Anergy circuit with thermal energy, to be able to produce a pressure drive with his flow engine21 resp. kinetic energy to generate electricity22. 1.b - Figure (15) The liquid gas pumping circuit filled partially with liquid CO2 gas Needs only to get rid resp. discharge/exchange his liquid gas expansion coldness to partial liquid gas in tube 23 resp. his cooling power28 with a rest temperature of 200C to 300C, to recharge his Anergy circuit with thermal energy, to generate a 50bar drive resp. electricity.
2.- Vacuumed circuits filled partially with non freezing fluids till -3O0C, , as Methanol, or Ethanol, Propanol or other fluids, in static pressure less than 0.8 bar 2.a.- Figure (17) illustrates the Liquid(s) pumping circuit, with a static circuit pressure less than 0.8 bar, filled partially with Ethanol, Propanol, distilled cleaned water from all particles, or any other fluids, or fluid mixtures, or gas fluid mixtures, which all have a freezing point bellow -300C degrees. This circuit doesn't produce any heat of importance and generates strong coldness, through the fluid or mixtures expansion to partial fluid. - Important is that the pump25 is pumping only liquid fluid, sucked in from the bottom of the "thermally isolated pressure lowering tube23" via a serpentine pipe/heat exchanger28, pumped as liquid into the flow engine21, connected to the generator22. Pump25, flow engine21 and generator22 are placed in the upper vapor/steam inside the tube23, to raze their efficiency by cooling them, by dropping their pressure-sealing rings and by using their heat loses. The strong cooling power is discharged by pipe coil28 in the water tank26, which needs to have a temperature between 100C to 300C, to be able to take the coldness and to recharge the Anergy circuit with thermal energy to function as electricity generator properly. This Anergy circuit is capable to deal with just the surrounding night temperature and it will still gain thermal energy from it, by discharging its strong coldness.
2.b. - Figure (18) illustrates the Steam/vapor compression and liquefying circuit, with a static circuit pressure less than 0.3 bar, using also Ethanol, Propanol, distilled water (freed from any particles) or any other fluid with a freezing point bellow -3O0C degrees and a boiling point higher than 600C. Due to the static "under pressure" (<0.3 bar), when steam/vapor of those fluids are compressed, there is nearly no compression heat realized .
- This circuit produces electricity and extreme cooling power through cavity and expansion from liquid fluid to vapor/steam, which has to be discharged from the Anergy circuit.
- This circuit is composed in series of a compressor25, followed directly beneath it by a flow engine21 ending in the expansion tube23, which is connected from below via pipe with a climbing heat exchanger28 as coldness discharger28, which produces a secondary cooling power by cavity through the suction of the compressor25 from the top of the exchanger 28. Compressor25, flow engine21 and generator22 are placed in the expansion tube23, to raze their efficiency by cooling them, getting rid of all pressure sealing rings(as in traditional compressors, placed with its electrical motor in a pressure box) and using their heat loses.

The funnel must be directed towards the sun, to be able to use it as heat collector. This special designed Anergy circuit integrated in a simple solar collector, is driven only with solar-heat, water, a direction/check valve, some cloth as water filter, to boil/distill the mood water, changing it to filtered and solar cocked dinking water and/or used with an aspirator(no pump), flow engine and a dynamo/alternator in an under-pressure (< O.δbar) Anergy circuit, to generate electricity and cooling power, which condenses humiditv/moister/vapor form the surrounding air to clean drinking water.
