Abstract

The device for generating electrical energy comprises electrodes which make contact with a conductive medium, and also at least one electrode which is insulated from this conductive medium, and when a voltage is applied to said electrode, a stepped voltage is generated in the medium near the electrodes in contact therewith. With such an embodiment, the current flows through the contacting electrodes without any energy losses, i.e. without any current passing through the insulated electrode. The electrodes and the medium can have a wide variety of shapes and properties.

Description

DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC GENERATION

ENERGY.

Known devices for generating electrical energy, for example, in the form of batteries, contain some kind of conductive medium between electrodes with different electric potentials, where when current flows between them, the previously stored energy is consumed. (See, for example, Kalashnikov SG, “Electricity”, 2008, p. 139). During electrolysis and the passage of current through the medium, an energy source is also needed.

In this invention, it is proposed to dispense with sources of electrical energy, due to the generation of its conductive medium between the electrodes.

For this purpose, it is proposed, in addition to the electrodes through which current flows through the medium, to add at least one more electrode isolated from the medium with a potential different from the potentials of the electrodes for passing current through the medium. For example, there can be two isolated electrodes with a sufficiently high value of the potential difference, and near them, for example, in the form of grids in a liquid, gaseous or solid, conducting medium, there are electrodes in contact with this medium. One of the isolated electrodes can be removed by combining its potential with the potential of one of the contacting electrodes.

The invention is illustrated in the drawing.

Where figure 1 shows the simplest diagram of the device. Electrodes 2 and 3 are in contact with a liquid, gaseous, or solid conductive medium 1, for example, in the form of grids, with terminals 4 and 5, at a minimum distance from which are insulated layer 6, from medium 1, electrodes 7 and 8, with terminals 9 and 10. I.e. electrodes 7 and 8 form capacitor plates with medium 1 between them. The electrode 8 can be removed by combining its potential with the potential of the electrode 3 (for example, conductor 11).

When the device is operating on electrodes 7 and 8, through the terminals 9 and 10, the potential difference is set. The electrically conductive medium 1, by its, for example, geometric or chemical properties, allows the electric field to enter inside, in the area of the electrodes 7 and 8, with the formation of a potential difference on them, so that when connected to the terminals 4 and 5, an economical, and almost eternal source of electricity. Because no current flows through insulated electrodes 7 and 8.

The operation of the proposed device is explained, in particular, by the existence of a known (in safety) step voltage acting with significant energy without contact with the electrical conductors and the passage of current through them.

And medium 1 and electrodes 2,3,6,7 can have a variety of properties and shapes. Medium 1 should allow the field to enter at a sufficient depth with a sufficiently high conductivity, i.e. it can be a mixed conductivity semiconductor or an electrolyte with a sufficiently low dielectric constant; it can be made in the form of thin channels or a thin film, microfilm, etc. Electrodes 3 and 7 can change places, i.e. when the electrode 7 is made in the form of an insulated grid, inside the medium 1. The electrodes may take the form pointed profiles, channels, porous material, etc. In general, everything that provides the maximum equalization of potentials, for example, electrodes 3 and 7 with a sufficient amount of current through terminals 4 and 5. The electric current (or potential at electrode 7) can be either constant or variable.

Medium 1 can be an electrolyte, and any substance is released on electrodes 2 or 3, i.e. You can get, for example, aluminum with additional electricity. Electricity costs are possible if there is current through the insulation of the electrodes.

Environment 1 together with electrodes 2 and 3 can form a battery, and electrode 7 with the corresponding potential will provide a constant charge of such a battery, without connecting to any current source.

The properties of the device can be improved using a near-cathode potential drop, i.e. when, for example, electrode 2 is the cathode, which brings the potentials of electrodes 3 and 7 as close as possible.

The energy in the proposed device occurs when the temperature of the medium 1 is lowered; therefore, such a device is applicable as the main element of a refrigerator or air conditioner.

The use of this invention will eliminate cumbersome power plants along with power grids.
