Abstract

The potential and kinetic energy of water has been used throughout history for the benefit of humans; this energy is conventionally transformed by hydroelectric plants. Unlike conventional and traditional apparatuses for transforming water energy, such as turbines, this invention directly transforms the potential energy of water at rest into work; the apparatus uses Archimedes' principle and the law of gravity, based on the behaviour displayed by bubbles of gas or air inside a liquid fluid, which move towards the surface of said fluid. Therefore, the invention relies on the creation of an "artificial bubble" that simulates the behaviour of the bubbles described above, to cause an upward linear mechanical movement with air, and relies on the potential energy of the water to cause a downward linear movement, in order to transform the potential energy of the water into energy in motion that can be used to generate electricity.

Aparato y procedimiento para transformar la energía potencial del agua en trabajo Apparatus and procedure to transform the potential energy of water into work
Sector tecnológico. La presente invención está relacionada con el sector energético que transforma la energía potencial del agua en trabajo (energía en movimiento).  Technological sector The present invention is related to the energy sector that transforms the potential energy of water into work (energy in motion).
Tecnología anterior. Es extensamente conocido, a través de la historia de la humanidad, el aprovechamiento de la energía hídrica o del agua con diversos fines, por ejemplo, en el pasado era común la utilización de molinos mecánicos accionados por la fuerza del caudal de un río, transformando así la energía cinética del agua en trabajo. En la actualidad son principalmente las centrales hidroeléctricas, las encargadas de transformar la energía potencial y cinética del agua en energía eléctrica, gracias a la implementación de turbinas y generadores eléctricos. Previous technology. It is widely known, through the history of humanity, the use of water or water for various purposes, for example, in the past it was common to use mechanical mills powered by the force of a river, transforming thus the kinetic energy of the water in work. Currently, it is mainly hydroelectric plants, which are responsible for transforming the potential and kinetic energy of water into electricity, thanks to the implementation of turbines and electric generators.
Aparte de las plantas hidroeléctricas, se han concebido otros sistemas para aprovechar la energía del agua cuando esta se encuentra en un estado más estático, es decir, sin la necesidad de que haya un caudal o un movimiento fuerte por parte del agua. Estos sistemas aprovechan la energía potencial del agua directamente, más no su energía cinética, de manera que el fluido puede permanecer en un estado de relativo reposo mientras que el sistema le extrae energía, por ejemplo en la patente US20070283689A1 existe una cadena cerrada de nodos flotantes que pasan por un contenedor lleno de agua en reposo, la cadena tenderá a moverse en un sentido debido al principio de flotabilidad, el cual causará un empuje haciendo mover estos nodos flotantes. También se pueden encontrar otras patentes ES2379520A1 y US20070284883A1 que fueron concebidas bajo el mismo principio de empuje generado por la flotabilidad de los objetos en el agua, transformando así la energía potencial del agua en relativo reposo en trabajo. Apart from the hydroelectric plants, other systems have been devised to take advantage of the energy of the water when it is in a more static state, that is, without the need for a flow or a strong movement by the water. These systems take advantage of the potential energy of water directly, but not its kinetic energy, so that the fluid can remain in a state of relative rest while the system extracts energy, for example in patent US20070283689A1 there is a closed chain of floating nodes that pass through a container full of water at rest, the chain will tend to move in a direction due to the principle of buoyancy, which will cause a push by moving these floating nodes. You can also find other patents ES2379520A1 and US20070284883A1 that were conceived under the same principle of thrust generated by the buoyancy of objects in water, thus transforming the potential energy of water in relative rest in work.
Descripción de la invención. La presente invención plantea la implementación de un nuevo aparato y procedimiento para transformar la energía potencial del agua en reposo en trabajo mediante dos leyes naturales fundamentales, una es la ley de la gravedad, que nos indica que existe una fuerza de atracción que el planeta tierra ejerce sobre todos los cuerpos hacia su centro y la otra es el principio de Arquímedes o fuerza de empuje, el cual índica que un cuerpo total o parcialmente sumergido en un fluido en reposo, recibe un empuje hacia la superficie del fluido igual al peso del volumen del fluido que desaloja. Description of the invention. The present invention proposes the implementation of a new apparatus and method to transform the potential energy of water at rest into work by means of two fundamental natural laws, one is the law of gravity, which indicates that there is a force of attraction that the planet earth it exerts on all the bodies towards its center and the other is the principle of Archimedes or pushing force, which indicates that a body totally or partially submerged in a fluid at rest, receives a thrust towards the surface of the fluid equal to the weight of the volume of the fluid that dislodges.
i Al igual que las patentes enumeradas anteriormente, este aparato aprovecha el principio de flotabilidad de los cuerpos en el agua para generar un empuje hacia la superficie y un movimiento lineal que se traduce como trabajo. Sin embargo, esta invención se presenta como un sistema más simple de implementar al contar con menos componentes para su ejecución. i Like the patents listed above, this device takes advantage of the principle of buoyancy of bodies in water to generate a push towards the surface and a linear movement that is translated as work. However, this invention is presented as a simpler system to implement with fewer components for its execution.
Por otro lado, éste aparato es más eficiente que los sistemas convencionales de extracción de energía del agua como las turbinas de las plantas hidroeléctricas; debido a que el rozamiento entre los componentes del aparato es mínimo, las fugas de agua se reducen al aprovechar el volumen de ésta de manera efectiva y las pérdidas de energía disminuyen al evitar choques innecesarios entre partículas ocasionados por la energía cinética del agua al entrar en contacto con dichas turbinas. On the other hand, this device is more efficient than conventional systems for extracting water energy, such as turbines from hydroelectric plants; due to the friction between the components of the apparatus is minimal, water leaks are reduced by taking advantage of the volume of this effectively and energy losses decrease to avoid unnecessary collisions between particles caused by the kinetic energy of water to enter contact with said turbines.
Esta invención se desarrolla gracias a las observaciones de los comportamientos de las burbujas de aire o de gas dentro de un fluido líquido en reposo. Se ha observado como algunas burbujas que aparecen en el fondo de un contenedor lleno con un fluido líquido, tienden a subir hacia la superficie gracias a que la fuerza de empuje ejercida es mucho mayor que el mismo peso de la burbuja. Como resultado de estas observaciones, se origina la idea de transformar la energía potencial del agua en trabajo a través del movimiento de estas burbujas.  This invention is developed thanks to the observations of the behavior of air bubbles or gas within a liquid fluid at rest. It has been observed how some bubbles that appear at the bottom of a container filled with liquid fluid, tend to rise towards the surface thanks to the fact that the pushing force exerted is much greater than the same weight of the bubble. As a result of these observations, the idea of transforming the potential energy of water into work through the movement of these bubbles originates.
Se propone entonces la implementación de un recipiente que puede contener en su interior agua y/o aire que se denomina en esta patente burbuja artificial (1), la cual se desplaza línealmente dentro de un contenedor (5) con agua en su interior, a través del siguiente procedimiento: It is proposed then the implementation of a container that can contain water and / or air inside it is called in this patent artificial bubble (1), which moves linearly inside a container (5) with water inside, a through the following procedure:
1. La burbuja artificial contiene aire en su interior, por lo tanto ésta se encuentra flotando en la superficie del agua alojada en el contenedor, debido a que la fuerza de empuje ejercida en la burbuja artificial es mayor a su propio peso (fuerza ejercida por la gravedad). 1. The artificial bubble contains air inside, therefore it is floating on the surface of water housed in the container, because the pushing force exerted on the artificial bubble is greater than its own weight (force exerted by the gravity).
2. El aire contenido dentro de la burbuja artificial es desalojado y reemplazado por agua del contenedor. Cuando la burbuja artificial se llena con agua su masa aumenta, por lo tanto aumenta su peso y ésta tiende a descender hacia el fondo del agua del contenedor; ya que su peso es mayor a la fuerza de empuje ejercida.  2. The air contained within the artificial bubble is dislodged and replaced by water from the container. When the artificial bubble is filled with water, its mass increases, therefore its weight increases and it tends to descend toward the bottom of the water in the container; since its weight is greater than the pushing force exerted.
3. La burbuja artificial llega al fondo del contenedor, el agua contenida en ella es desalojada y reemplazada por aire del exterior. Cuando la burbuja artificial se llena con aire su masa disminuye, por lo cual disminuye su peso y ésta tiende a ascender hacia la superficie del agua del contenedor; ya que su peso es menor que la fuerza de empuje ejercida. Es así como se establece el trabajo representado en un movimiento lineal cíclico al interior del contenedor causado por la burbuja artificial, la cual va de la superficie hacia el fondo del agua del contenedor y viceversa. 3. The artificial bubble reaches the bottom of the container, the water contained in it is dislodged and replaced by outside air. When the artificial bubble is filled with air, its mass decreases, so that its weight decreases and it tends to ascend toward the water surface of the container; since its weight is less than the pushing force exerted. This is how the represented work is established in a cyclic linear movement inside the container caused by the artificial bubble, which goes from the surface towards the water bottom of the container and vice versa.
Se debe tener en cuenta que la presión hidrostática alrededor de la burbuja artificial es anulada en todos los sentidos una vez ésta se encuentra sumergida en el fondo del contenedor, debido al equilibrio de fuerzas que se genera al estar rodeada uniformemente por vectores de presión hidrostática. It must be taken into account that the hydrostatic pressure around the artificial bubble is annulled in all senses once it is submerged in the bottom of the container, due to the balance of forces generated by being uniformly surrounded by hydrostatic pressure vectors.
Convencionalmente, se utiliza la energía potencial acumulada de una columna de agua para transformarla en energía cinética con el fin de mover turbinas que accionan generadores eléctricos (ejemplo: las plantas hidroeléctricas). Por el contrario, esta nueva invención expresa otra forma de transformar directamente la energía potencial de una columna de agua en trabajo. Conventionally, the accumulated potential energy of a water column is used to transform it into kinetic energy in order to move turbines that drive electric generators (example: hydroelectric plants). On the contrary, this new invention expresses another way of directly transforming the potential energy of a water column into work.
Mientras que en esos sistemas convencionales se desaprovecha energía por choques cinéticos entre partículas y se pierde parte del volumen del agua, en esta invención esas pérdidas de energía son despreciables y además todo el volumen se aprovecha, lo cual representa una gran ventaja en términos de eficiencia. Este aparato también representa una forma más simple de implementar un sistema de transformación de energía potencial del agua en trabajo con respecto a los sistemas referenciados anteriormente (US20070283689A1 , ES2379520A1 , US20070284883A1) While in these conventional systems energy is wasted by kinetic collisions between particles and part of the volume of water is lost, in this invention those energy losses are negligible and in addition all the volume is used, which represents a great advantage in terms of efficiency . This device also represents a simpler way to implement a system for transforming the potential energy of water into work with respect to the systems referenced above (US20070283689A1, ES2379520A1, US20070284883A1)
El trabajo (o sea, energía en movimiento) generado por el aparato descrito en esta invención puede ser transformado en otro tipo de energía, como la energía eléctrica. Por ejemplo, mediante el acoplamiento de un sistema mecánico para transformar el movimiento lineal en movimiento circular con el fin de impulsar generadores eléctricos rotativos. Un segundo ejemplo, es a través de la implementación de imanes unidos a la burbuja artificial mientras que el contenedor es envuelto en un material conductor, para así crear un sistema electromagnético de inducción y generar electricidad. Aún así, podrían existir más implementaciones para transformar esta energía en movimiento en energía eléctrica. The work (ie, energy in motion) generated by the apparatus described in this invention can be transformed into another type of energy, such as electrical energy. For example, by coupling a mechanical system to transform linear motion into circular motion in order to drive rotating electric generators. A second example is through the implementation of magnets attached to the artificial bubble while the container is wrapped in a conductive material, in order to create an electromagnetic induction system and generate electricity. Even so, there could be more implementations to transform this energy into movement in electrical energy.

The water inside the artificial bubble (1) is dislodged through the valves (3) and (7) towards the outside of the appliance, at the same time, the artificial bubble (1) is filled with air from the outside through the conduit (4).
6. La masa de la burbuja artificial (1) masa disminuye, por lo tanto disminuye su peso y ésta tiende a ascender hacia la superficie; ya que su peso es menor a la fuerza de empuje ejercida.  6. The mass of the artificial bubble (1) mass decreases, therefore its weight decreases and it tends to ascend towards the surface; since its weight is less than the pushing force exerted.
