Description

Potkin energy-New renewable energy

INTRODUCTION

Fossil fuels such as coal and crude oil has led to high concentrations of harmful gases in the atmosphere. This has in turn led to many problems being faced today such as ozone depletion and global warming. Therefore, alternative sources of energy have become very important and relevant to today's world, renewable energy dictionary, new energy called potkin energy is added.

Description:

Force : A force is any influence that causes an object_, to undergo a certain change, either concerning its movement, direction or geometrical construction.

Potkin energy is kind of potential cum kinetic energy hidden in moving vehicles, which is used for usable energy. There are two types one is onto Potkin energy and another is into potkin energy. Assuming a bigger mass doing work on a comparatively very small mass called work-piece , after work is done on the work-piece by few components of forces, remaining components will be transferred to rigid datum plane. As per Typical force diagram-A, those component of forces doing work on the work-piece are called onto and into forces. Extraction of these forces and transforming the same into useable energy called potkin energy. Only onto potkin energy is going to be used for useable energy.

Process for recreating the invention:

When I was a boy, age of 8-9 year old, played with many type of toys, knowingly or unknowing played with the machine that is in my house . From that age I am attracted to that machine and it became my pet one, which is the inspiration of this invention. Even now when I look at that machine, I watch its mechanism affectionately, recalling my olden day's memories.Three years before I shared my thoughts with my father and my Sister, but there was no response regarding it from them. While I entered college .again the mechanism of my pet machine disturbed my mind often Then I requested my father to analyze and he had series of questions about its mechanisms. He also explained the difficulties involved since he is a practical and knowledgeable person regarding this engineering and energy field. Similarly my sister Belina.V.J.Sara also helped me a lot in my statistical analysis and updation of current affairs. Description of the device :

This invention is a greatly simplified device for transforming the energy of moving vehicles into useable energy called Potkin energy. The invention is a device for transforming the energy of moving vehicles into useable energy comprising one or more treadle bridge or fixture bridge or lever, and structural members connecting treadle bridge or fixture bridge or lever whereby motions of treadle bridge or fixture bridge or lever relative to one another generates torque, and a means for transferring torque to one or more generators, and a means by which to enable all generator currents to flow in a single beneficial direction.

Device Principle:

The device works on the principle that when a vehicle is in motion is passed over the surface of the device , then the torque is induced in the connected shaft with flywheel .which is connected to a generator. A treadle bridge or fixture bridge or lever is made to oscillate rapidly in the device field. When the treadle bridge or fixture bridge or lever oscillates, it rotates the connected shaft with flywheel , due to which a current is produced in the generator coil. This current can be used for to run the various electrical appliances and power generation .

The value of the voltage generated depends on

- weight of the vehicle is in motion is passed over the surface of the device.

- the speed of the vehicle is in motion is passed over the surface of the device.

- design feature of the device .

How a Treadle Works:

A treadle is actually a big pedal that one tips back and forth by applying pressure with foot or applying pressure with objects are in motion .This action causes a push rod to move up and down, which cranks a flywheel, which turns a leather belt, which supplies torque to the main shaft of the generator.

How ' Potkin energy ' is used for power generation:

Device Parameter taken as . ( FIG-X)

Treadle size - 25x35 cm.

Effective radius - 15cm.

Type of drive - Belt drive for transforming torque Force applied frequency on the treadle= oscillate speed = swing back and forth =1 oscillation per second (or) 60 oscillation per minute (roughly take it as 60 rpm), manual.

Treadle weight - 2 kg

Force applied on the device -20 kg

When pressure is applying by foot , with above parameter , power generated by the device is 75W to 80 W This evidently shows that 'power is produced' because of frequency of applied force on the treadle (1 rps ), treadle weight (2 kg) and force applied on the device (20kg ).

Now we conclude that the power generated only by transforming the new energy called potkin energy which is generated by

- force applied on the device

- feature of the device

- frequency of applied force on the treadle (speed) - treadle weight

Mathematical determination (or) Calculation:

The measure of a force's tendency to produce a rotation about an axis is called torque. That is, if a force is used to begin to spin something, or to attempt to spin something, a torque is generated. A torque would also be generated if a force was used to stop something from spinning.

For example consider a stick or board that is placed horizontally and is attached to an axis at its centre so that it can rotate. This would be somewhat like a seesaw or teeter- totter. If a force pulled down on the right side of this board, then it would rotate clockwise. All of this, along with some other terms, is symbolized in the Diagram-F.

• The horizontal stick or board is drawn as the obvious horizontal line. For our

purposes here, consider the board to have no mass.( In situations like this.

This board is called a lever or treadle bridge or fixture bridge)

• The triangle is thought of as a type of support for the board allowing the board to rotate at its tip. This point of rotation is called the fulcrum, or axis. • A force is drawn on the right side of the board, shown as a vector labelled F. Think of this as a force acting on the board and in a direction perpendicular to the board, pulling it downward at this moment.

• The direction of rotation caused by this force is shown with a curved arrow. This is a clockwise rotation.

• The distance from the point of rotation, or fulcrum, to the point on the board where the force is applied is called the torque arm. Above it is shown as a vector pointing to the right and labelled d.

We say that the above force causes a clockwise torque to be placed on the board. This torque is calculated by multiplying the length of the torque arm times the size of the force.

If the torque arm is 0.15 meter long and the size of the force is (20X9.81=196.2) Newton, then the calculation for the torque would look like this:

T=d x F=0.15x20x9.81=29.43 N-m

This torque has a direction, since it is a vector. The direction which the above board will rotate is clockwise, so, the torque could be said to have a clockwise direction. This could be written as:

T= 29.43 N-m CW

Electrical Motor torque required for 750KW as per standard table :

Torque from an electrical motor with 1 hp and speed 60 rpm can be calculated as

Power versus torque and motor velocity in electric motors are indicated below:

From the above fact table shows that for 60 rpm , 159.3 N-m torque required to to generate 750 W.

As per mathematical determination (or) calculation 29.43 N-m torque is produced by the device, Power generation should be 138.56W. But device power generation is only 80W as per practical.

There for the efficiency of the device is only 57.7% Suppose the same device used with higher oscillation per minute say 500,1000 , the out put of the device potkin energy will be increase and definitely we will get corresponding power out puts also.

Suppose the same device used with higher oscillation per minute say 500,1000 ... ,the out put will be 888W, 1776W, .. respectively with efficiency of the device is taken as only 57.7% .

Now, we can surely concluded that the device can be modified in ' size and features' can be extended to object are in motion having " different speed and weight" . Power generation or output of the device also increased because all parameters are directly proportional to the input of the device . Potkin Energy is cleaner technology energy and it is a future energy of the World .

CONCLUSION

To make sure we have plenty of energy in the future, it's up to all of us to use energy wisely. We must all conserve energy and use it efficiently. It's also up to those who will create the new energy technologies of the future. All energy sources have an impact on the environment. Concerns about the greenhouse effect and global warming, air pollution, and energy security have led to increasing interest and more development in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, wave power and hydrogen.

But we'll need to continue to use fossil fuels and nuclear energy until new, cleaner technologies can replace them. Until then, it's up to all of us .The future is ours, but we need energy to get there.

Potkin energy is cleaner technology energy and it is a future energy of the World .
