Abstract

The invention relates to a pendulum machine with fore-and-aft sails for generating energy using the force of the wind, which comprises a rotary post secured to a rotary base anchored to the ground, a horizontal shaft being solidly connected to the upper part of the post. The body of a pendulum is pivotably connected to the horizontal shaft and has at the lower end thereof a counterweight heavier than a structure comprising the pendulum body, a mast, fore-and-aft sails, booms and harnesses. The mast is disposed at the upper end of the pendulum body. The fore-and-aft sails, which are supported by the mast and the booms, are disposed at the upper end of the mast. At the pivot point of the pendulum body and the counterweights are disposed force arms that actuate hydraulic cylinders for pumping pressurised liquids, or the ends of industrial chains that actuate a gear assembly that transforms the linear movement of the industrial chains into continuous circular movement able to actuate an electrical generator. The machine is operated when the post rotates and is positioned with the pendulum body leeward with respect to the direction of the wind. The booms supporting the fore-and-aft sails rotate 20 degrees with respect to the direction of the wind. The force of the wind moves the fore-and-aft sails towards the side of low pressure, exerting a push force on the mast. The force exerted on the mast by the fore-and-aft sails with light wind is 30 kilograms per square metre of the surface of the fore-and-aft sails. The mast moves up to 45 degrees with respect to the vertical. At that moment, a trigger mechanism acts to rotate the booms supporting the fore-and-aft sails 20 degrees towards the other side with respect to the direction of the wind, causing the fore-and-aft sails to exert a push force towards the other side and, helped by the counterweight, same push the mast towards the other side up to 45 degrees with respect to the vertical. The cycle is then repeated. The movement of the pendulum body is a simple harmonic movement. The fore-and-aft sails constitute a real motor able to generate the equivalent of many units of horsepower and behave like the wing of an aeroplane in flight, the suction force being greater, side of low pressure, allowing same to go faster than the speed of the wind. The surface of the fore-and-aft sails can be used in advertising. The entire structure can be supported by tensioning lines that do not interfere in the operation thereof, and reduce production costs. The force of the machine is in direct relation to the force of the wind, surface of the fore-and-aft sails, and the length of the mast and a lever arm. Two or more pendulum machines with fore-and-aft sails can be joined to a single electrical generator located at floor level, and the movement of said machines can be uncoordinated or coordinated such that they all move with a single rhythm and in the same direction.

PENDULUM MACHINE WITH KNIFE CANDLES TO GENERATE

ENERGY

A pendulum machine with knife sails to generate energy with the force of the wind that comprises a pillar anchored to the floor, at the top of the pillar is a horizontal axis integral to the pillar and is placed in the same direction to that of the wind, pivoted to this horizontal axis is the pendulum body that at its lower end has counterweights that will have more weight than the entire pendulum structure to keep the entire structure upright, the pendulum body is pivoted to the axis of the pillar and can swing freely, at the pivot point of the pendulum body it has two opposing arms of force that are the ones that drive the hydraulic cylinders that suck and expel water or hydraulic oil under pressure, these hydraulic cylinders are equipped with valves, this movement can also move a system of gears to produce rotary motion to produce electricity or a mechanical movement, at the sup end Under the body the pendulum and projected upwards is the mast, at the top of the mast and pivoted to the mast is the boom that is arranged perpendicular to the mast, the function of the boom is to hold the fists of the knife sails, on the top of the mast are the halyard fists that keep the knife sails deployed and stretched. When the boom moves and offers a certain inclination with respect to the wind direction, it causes the knife sails to exert a thrust force to the mast (approximately 30 kilos per square meter) this causes the mast to move up to 50 degrees with respect to to the vertical, this movement makes the arms of force that drive the hydraulic cylinders sucking and expelling rise and fall, when the mast reaches 50 degrees a trigger system changes the inclination of the boom with respect to the wind direction , this causes the knife sails to exert a pushing force towards the other side, generating a pendular movement compensated with the counterweights that are at the lower end of the pendulum body, the force of this machine is directly related to the size of the knife sails (approximately 30 kilos per square meter), being able to be more than one set of knife sails and the length of the mast (pal arm haunch). Knife candles expose a large surface that can be used in advertising.

Mills that are an artifact or machine that is used to grind using wind force are known. By extended the term mill applies to

mechanisms that use the force of the wind to move other devices, such as a hydraulic pump or an electric generator The utility of the mechanisms of the windmills to generate mechanical energy has been used for other uses, such as drawing water, from what they are an example used in the polders of Holland or the classic farm mills, with metal structure. Currently, those that serve to produce electricity are being spread throughout all countries. At present, wind energy is mainly used to produce electric energy through wind turbines. At the end of 2007, the global capacity of wind generators was 94.1 gigawatts. In 2009, wind power generated around 2% of global electricity consumption, equivalent to the total demand for electricity in Italy, the seventh largest economy world. In Spain, wind energy produced 11% of electricity consumption in 2008, and 13.8% in 2009. At dawn on Sunday, November 8, 2009, more than 50% of the electricity produced in Spain was generated by windmills, and the total production record was broken, with 11,546 megawatts of wind. Wind energy is an abundant, renewable, clean resource and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuel-based thermoelectric plants, which makes it a type of green energy. However, the main con is its intermittence.

The known technique shows a mill that is a machine that has blades or blades attached to a common shaft, which begins to spin when the wind blows. This rotary axis is linked to different types of machinery, for example machinery to grind grain, pump water or produce electricity. To obtain electricity, the movement of the blades or vanes drives an electric generator (an alternator or a dynamo) that converts the mechanical energy of the rotation into electrical energy. Electricity can be stored in batteries or dumped directly into the grid. The operation is quite simple, and what is becoming more complex is the construction of wind turbines that are increasingly efficient.

The present invention, on the contrary, is constituted by a pillar, anchored to the floor, at the top of the pillar has a horizontal axis integral to the pillar and in the same direction to the wind direction, pivoted to the axis is the pendulum body that in the lower part it has metal or concrete counterweights that must weigh more than the structure, at the pivot point the pendulum body has opposing force arms that rise and fall with the pendulum movement of the pendulum body and are the ones that two hydraulic cylinders are in charge of pumping pressurized liquids, in the upper part of the pendulum body is the mast, in the upper part of the mast pivoted to this mast is the boom that is arranged perpendicular to the mast, the function of the boom is to hold the fists of the knife sails, on the top of the mast are the halyard fists that keep the sails of c Uchillo

When the boom moves and offers some inclination with respect to the wind direction, it causes the knife sails to exert a thrust force to the mast

(approximately 30 Mine per square meter) this causes the mast to move up to 50 degrees from the vertical, this movement drives the hydraulic cylinders by sucking and expelling liquids, when the mast reaches 50 degrees a trigger system changes the inclination of the boom with respect to the wind direction, this causes the knife sail to exert thrust force towards the other side, generating a pendular movement compensated with the counterweights that are at the lower end of the pendulum body, the force This machine is directly related to the size of the knife sails (approximately 30 kilos per square meter), and can be more than one set of knife sails and the length of the mast (lever arm). Knife candles expose a large surface that can be used in advertising. The knife sails behaves like the wing of an airplane, creating high pressure on one side and low pressure on the other side, this allows the mast to move towards the low pressure direction of the knife sails, when The knife sails change its inclination with respect to the wind direction, the low pressure face causes the knife sail to move towards the other side generating a pendulum movement of the pendulum body, the knife sails are a true 'engine' capable of generating the equivalent of many horsepower. And although its operation seems at first obvious, something must be understood, since several physical phenomena manifest themselves in them. The first thing we should know is that knife sails behave like the wing of an airplane in flight.

Candles can be of two kinds: knife or arnicas and square or blocks that are rectangular or square. The first group includes: The third, trapezoidal and approximately as tall as the low sail, falling two-thirds of its own length from the top of the mast. Latina, triangular candle set in full. Of fan, envergada to a graph of windward and prolonged by a boom. Guaira, triangular candle set only to the stick or stick and a mastelerillo. The quadrangular ones, hunted by means of a boom or by means of a boom and boom, denominated according to the place they occupy: greater crab, bow crab, stern crab or greater layer. The sail of estay or jib, according to its situation, triangular and set by relingas in the estay. The quadrangle candle

Basically the force of the wind on the knife sails causes it to move towards the low pressure face, this thrust force is transmitted to the mast that moves to the point that a trigger mechanism moves the inclination of the knife sails, offering the other side to the direction of the wind, this causes the thrust force of the knife sails to push the mast to the other side, until it meets the trigger mechanism, changing the inclination of the knife sails, this produces a Continuous pendular movement that is compensated with the counterweights found in the lower part of the pendulum body, the trigger system that changes the position of the knife sails is a trigger device, where a spring rests or is released in both extreme positions, not allowing the knife sails to remain in a neutral position with respect to the wind direction, this movement can be activated in addition to fo rma electronic, hydraulic or by means of a computer. The force of the wind on the knife sails will cause it to move towards the low pressure face, when the mast travel reaches the top it will activate the trigger mechanism that will cause the knife sails to change position with respect to the wind direction , which will cause the knife sails to move by pushing the mast to the other side, to the top of the other side, this will keep the mast in a continuous oscillatory motion, the force of this machine will be directly related to the wind speed , the length of the mast, and the size of the knife sails, being able to be more than one set of knife sails fixed separately on the mast, allowing the wind that circulates between the knife sails to potentiate them by the channel effect, as some knife sails improve the behavior of the other knife sails.

The pendulum machine with knife sails of the invention does not require a large investment because the pillar, the pendulum body and the mast can be supported by pulling lines, which do not interfere in its operation obtaining rigid and firm structures to low cost.

To better understand the invention, it will be described on the basis of a preferred embodiment, the one illustrated in the drawings, which has only an illustrative character, the scope of the invention not being limited to the dimensions or the quantity of elements illustrated or to the exemplified anchoring means.
