Description

SELF CONTAINED ELECTRIC POWER PRODUCTION SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND OPERATING WITH WATER
The present invention relates to a self contained electric power production system capable of being activated and operating by the use of water only, that is being invented, designed, manufactured and marketed for first by exclusively us. It is known that the alternative sources of energy such as the wind and the solar energy, being included in the "clean" energy sources, so called the energy sources that do not emit, or cause pollutants constitute today's attractive solution to the electric power generation problem and are widely used for this purpose.
The production, however and the efficiency of these systems, -wind generators and photovoltaic systems-, being related to electric power generation through the exploitation of these energy sources depend on the prevailing weather conditions on one hand, the latitude and the area climate in which are being installed, on the other.
The present invention intends to provide a self contained electric power production system, easy to use, embodying all the advantages of the systems mentioned above, since it does not either emit or cause pollutants and eliminating at the same time the disadvantages of known electricity power generation systems for the reason that it is being capable of ensuring uninterrupted electric power generation twenty four hours a day, anywhere and under any weather conditions, requiring either no additional installation whatsoever, or the addition of a disposable power source that may increase costs, lead to destruction of the whole system if left unused for a long period of time and its rejection may cause harm to the environment. Additionally, it is being characterized by the fact that it uses water as a means of initiating and maintaining the electric power production process, as well as that it undergoes no deterioration for as long as it remains inactive, prior to its activation for the first time.
The electric power generation system of the invention consists of a main inner metal element-rod, an outer metal casing-sleeve, in combination with a water absorbtion and retention means, interimposed between them and is being characterized by the fact that it uses water as a means of initiating and maintaining of the electric power production process- said water means being absorbed and held by said water absorbtion and retention means, following the immersion of the system in water, so that the moisture required for its activatio and operation to be provided and in order to remain in a continuous operational condition until full evaporation of the liquid element-water takes place that is being realized by a drop of the system performance, when re-immersion in water should be carried out in case the system is required to remain activated.
The subject of the invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, which show an illustrative and not at all restrictive application example, as a whole and in partial details constituting it, where
Fig.1 shows the main inner metal element-rod of the invention. Fig.2 shows the second element, water absorbtion and retention means of the invention.
Fig. 3 shows the third element, the outer metal casing-sleeve of the invention. Fig. 4 shows the combination of first and second element of the invention, and Fig. 5 shows the combination of all three elements of the invention.
l In particular, the electricity production system of the invention consists of a main inner metal element-rod (1), made of a mixture of eight different metals, namely aluminum (Al), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe) and magnesium (Mg) and has the form of a cylindrical rod- an outer metal casing-sleeve (3), made of copper in a grid form and a water absorption and retention means (2) being interposed between them that can be a fabric, a sponge and/or any other material suitable and convenient for this purpose.
At this point it should be emphasized that the description of the subject of the invention was made by reference to a first indicative and not at all restrictive embodiment of the invention and that alternatively, the main inner metal element-rod (1) can also be constructed in the form of any other geometrical shape other than cylindrical, as well as in any dimension, while said outer metal casing-sleeve (3) can be constructed of copper of any form.
According to a second embodiment of the invention, the system may also bear an integrated water supply storage-tank, by opening of which the water absorption and retention means (2) is supplied with water, so as the electric energy generation process to be activated directly.
According to a third embodiment of the invention, systems designed to facilitate greater energy requirements, can operate in combination with an automated moisture system, where in this case the initiation of electric energy generation process is carried out by immersion in water as above and thereafter is carried out automatically when required.
OPERATION
Following immersing of the system in water, chemical reactions are created between the main inner metal element-rod (1), the water stored in the absorption and retention means (2) and the outer metal casing-sleeve (3). These chemical reactions result to the concentration of negative charges (-negative pole) in the main inner the metal-rod (1) and positive charges (+ positive pole) in the outer metal casing-sleeve (3) and it is because of the existence of this difference that a voltage is created between the main inner metallic element-rod (1) and the outer metal casing-sleeve (3) leading to the initiation of the erosion-corrosion process of the inner metal element-rod (1), which begins to lose electrons from its nucleus, so that by connecting of a consumption source - a led source for example - an electron flow is created from said inner metal element-rod (1), to the outer metal casing-sleeve (3) which electron flow is electricity. The oxidation of inner metal element-rod (1) is due to the difference in positive oxidation potential, since said possesses a bigger positive potential than the outer metal casing-sleeve (3).
Finally, at this point it should be stressed that the system of the invention is capable of being manufactured in any size in order that any electric energy generation requirements are served. Thus the modification of the subject of the invention as regards any of the details mentioned above, will aim at copying and unfair competition, acts that are subject to punishment provided by Law.
