Description
DESCRIPTION
ELECTRICITY GENERATION METHOD FROM SEA Technological Area:
The invention relates to a method of generating electricity from the sea using water lifting force, which can be used in corrugated seas, in rivers with high flow velocities, in undulating lakes.
Known State of the Technique:
In our day, electricity generation methods such as dams, thermal power plants and nuclear power plants, which harm the nature and consume natural resources at the same time, are used. With these methods, too much electricity is produced. Naturally, electricity produced from the renewable energy resources would not be in the same level as electricity produced from thermal plants and nuclear plants. However, with the alternative methods, by supporting thermal and nuclear plants, at least these kinds of power plants could be prevented from increasing in number and rapid consumption of natural resources could be slowed down.
To name a few among renewable electrical energy resources; windmills, solar panels that convert solar energy into electricity and many more could be said. The invention in question is about electricity production management method in corrugated seas, undulated lakes, and streaming rivers.
In the present system, there are systems that produce electricity from corrugated seas. Most of these systems are related to systems that take the water coming from a larger area and direct it to a wheel by increasing the flow rate of water by means of a narrow pipe and turning the rotation of the wheel into electric energy. The disadvantages of these systems are high installation costs and insufficient productivity. None of other
present systems are usable or lucrative. Work to make it develop and usable over time continues.
As a result; there is a need for new methods that provide low cost of installation, high efficiency, and electricity generation without harming the ecological environment without consuming natural resources.
Description of the Invention: The invention, which can overcome the above disadvantages, is a method of electricity production that can be used in floating seas, lakes, moving rivers.
The aim of the invention is to perform electricity production in such a way that the installation cost is low and the productivity is high.
The other purpose of the invention is to perform the electricity generation process in a way that does not harm the ecological environment.
For the installation of the system, firstly, an area is chosen where the surge and its movement are sufficient. Then a dock is built in this area and the system is placed on this dock. The lifting force of the water is converted into mechanical energy by the motion transmitting elements. Subsequently, this mechanical energy is turned into electric energy with the aid of a generator, making energy use convenient. There are two types of usage of the method. The working principles of these two types are the same.
It has a simple system. It is also easy to use and reduces investment and operating costs. The invention performs an effortless installation in a short time thanks to the easy fixing of the parts to each other. The use of lightweight materials makes installation easier.

Explanation of the Invention: The invention consists essentially of a main shaft (2) supporting swing bearings (3) on a dock (1) which is installed in a wavy section of the sea, profiles (7) with filled buoys (6) and empty buoys (5) connected to the main shaft (2) by unilateral moving bearings (4), and a generator (11) which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electricity generation method of the invention is provided by the support of lifting force of water. There are filled buoys (6) and empty buoys (5) placed reciprocatively in the invention
. This is to enable main shaft (2) to rotate in the same direction. Empty buoys (5) force the main shaft (2) to rotate with the water buoyancy. The unilateral bearing (4) runs idle as empty buoys (5) sink again after surfacing, so no force (2) effects the main shaft (1). The unilateral floating bearing (4) at the end of the profiles (7) where the filled buoys (6) are connected runs idle as filled buoys (6) reach the water surface, namely, the force does not affect the main shaft (2). However, when the filled buoys (6) are sunk again, the main shaft (2) is applied force by the weight and the working principle of the unilateral floating bearing (4) when they are full, and by applying force to the empty buoys (5) to rotate, it supports empty buoys (5). So the main shaft (2) starts rotating in a certain speed depending on the wave force.
There are two mechanisms of the invention as the main shaft (2) and multiple main shafts (2). A single main shaft (2) is employed in the first mechanism, and there is a large-axis main gear (8) connected to the main shaft (2). When the main shaft (2) starts rotating, main gear (8) tightly fixed to the main shaft (2) starts rotating. Main shaft (2) rotates a smaller-axis medium gear (9) mounted on the dock (1) with a fixing shaft (12). Main gear (9) rotates the smallest-axis cycle gear (10) and increases the cycle. Energy occurred from rotation of cycle gear (10) is transmitted to the generator (11) through the generator connection shaft (13). And the generator (11) converts this energy generated from the generator connection shaft (13) into electric energy, and the process is complete. (Figure - 1)
In multiple main shaft (2) second mechanism, frames (15) are mounted on main shafts (2) and these frames are tied to both each other and the cycle frame (17) with the support of strap (16). When main shafts (2) rotate, frames (15) also rotate, and this rotation is transmitted to the cycle frame (17) with the support of straps (16). Mechanical energy occurred from rotation of cycle gear (17) that increases the cycle is transmitted to the generator (11) through the generator connection shaft (13). And the generator (11) converts this energy into electric energy, and the process is complete. (Figure - 2) filled buoys (6) and empty buoys (5) employed in the invention are designed in such a way to make buoy side surfaces (14) angular. The reason for making them angular is to enable wave force to apply a force in the direction of water lifting force to filled buoys (6) and empty buoys (5) no matter which direction the wave comes from. Buoy side surfaces (14) employed in filled buoys (6) and empty buoys (5) are designed angularly with the aim of making a more effective use of water lifting force.
(Figure - 3) Unilateral floating bearings (4) are employed in the invention. The characteristics of these bearings (4) are that they cannot move to one side while moving in one direction during movement, and accordingly transmit the force in one direction only.
The present invention is a method of electricity generation in corrugated seas with a system installed on a dock (1) located on a moving sea edge, and it's feature is characterization with having a main shaft (2) starting to rotate with the force transmitted by unilateral floating bearings (4) which are supported in bearings to the dock (1) with swing bearings (3), filled buoys (6) that enable the main shaft (2) to rotate by transmitting the force coming from the weights to the main shaft (2) with profiles (7) and unilateral bearings (4), placed at the ends of profiles (7), to empty buoys that enable main shaft (2) to rotate by transmitting the water lifting force to the main shaft (2) with profiles (7) and unilateral floating bearings, located at the ends of profiles (7), unilaterally transmitting the redirected force to unilateral bearings to main shaft (2) the force coming from filled buoys (6) and empty buoys (5) transmitted to profiles (7), and connecting each other the main shaft (2) and the profile (7).
