Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

(0001) The present disclosure relates to a flywheel power generation device, more specifically the technique of rotating a vertically installed flywheel to the perimeter of the flywheel by the propeller, and the generator from the middle shaft of the flywheel.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(0002) The shortage of electricity has become a big problem in front of the world, and it is increasing day by day. As a result, the use of various generators to meet the power shortage has also come to the fore. As far as the current artificial power generation is concerned, there is hydro power, thermal power, wind power, solar energy, nuclear energy, gas and oil power generation, mechanical power generation etc. They consume thermal power generation, coal, gas and oil resources. They have a huge impact on investment in terms of power generation, as well as they are influenced by geographical location. However, they cannot meet the market demand. Therefore, inventing a power generation device, which is low in investment, does not pollute the environment and can provide high power, is the need of the day.

(0003) Current known flywheels are middle shaft drives, although more power is needed to rotate the flywheel, the maximum power is spent to rotate the flywheel. Therefore, maximum efficiency is not increased.

(0004) According to the former application number 202021050079 and 202021050571, the horizontal flywheel is rotated by the tire wheel from the periphery of the flywheel, in which the friction loss is high.

(0005) According to the former application numbers 202021050079 and 202021050571, the horizontal flywheel is rotated by a tire wheel from the periphery of the flywheel, which has a limit of speed, so the alternator/generator cannot be rotated at sufficient speed.

(0006) According to previous application numbers 202021050079 and 202021050571, the flywheel is installed horizontally, which is not easy to balance and rotate smoothly.

(0007) To overcome the above drawbacks, flywheel power generation equipment requires a flywheel driven by a propeller attached to the periphery of a vertically mounted flywheel, and the alternator/generator is operated by a prime mover on one side or Separate prime movers on either side.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

(0008) In an embodiment, a flywheel power generation device is disclosed. The device includes a vertical flywheel configured to be installed between at least two steel structures comprising a first steel structure and a second steel structure by more than one bearing assembly on the support and of both the first steel structure and second steel structure. The device further includes a plurality of motor with propellers configured to be installed at the same distance on the perimeter of the flywheel. The device further includes a plurality of electric bus-bars configured to be installed in a circular shape on the shaft of one side of the flywheel, which is insulated by the insulator. The device further includes a friction connector configured to be installed on the first steel structure touching the bus-bar, which is insulated by the insulator. The device further includes a propeller motor connected by friction connector, bus-bar and cable. The device further includes a power supply panel configured to be installed on the first steel structure and a generator assembly installed on the second steel structure. When power is supplied to the propeller motor from friction connectors, bus-bars, cables and panels, the flywheel is rotated by the wind power of the propeller from the periphery of the flywheel, and the generator assembly rotates through the central shaft of the flywheel, which Provides optimized torque and power.

(0009) In another embodiment, the present disclosure seeks to provide a flywheel power generation device to solve the problem of power shortage. To solve the problem of power shortage, flywheel power generation equipment is used, in which three concrete or steel structures are installed in series, leaving sufficient gaps between each other. The altemator/generator assembly is installed on structure two, and the vertical flywheel drive assembly is installed in the middle by supporting structures one and two. The shaft of the other direction of the alternator or generator is extended to sufficient length to engage the front of the shaft of the drive assembly. Similarly, another drive assembly is mounted on a support of structures two and three with a vertical flywheel in the middle, and the support of the structure is supported by more than one bearing assembly, and more than one propeller equally spaced along the circumference of both flywheels. And both drive assemblies are attached to either side of the alternator/generator. Power is supplied to the propeller motor of the drive assembly by multiple rotating power units. When power is supplied by the rotating units to the propeller motors of both drive assemblies, the propellers use air force to spin the flywheel around the periphery of the flywheel, providing more torque and more power.

(0060) EXAMPLES FOR ASSESSMENT

1. Alternator rpm = 100

Flywheel rpm = 100

Accordingly, the motor speed will be gradually increased by wireless remote or wire remote from AC or DC drive until the alternator acquires sufficient speed.

2. Generator RPM = 1500

If the ratio of the step-up gear box is 1 : 100, then the gear box will have to be rotated 15 times from the incoming direction for 1500 rpm.

If the gear box has to be rotated 15 times in the incoming side, the flywheel has to be rotated 15 times.

Accordingly, the motor speed will be gradually increased by wireless remote or wire remote from AC or DC drive until the generator acquires sufficient speed. IN ANOTHER EMBODIMENT, DEVICE FURTHER COMPRISES:
