Description
1 DESCRIPTION1 DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour récupérer l'ensemble des énergies des vagues couvertes par ce dispositif et de rendre cette énergie récupérée exploitable sous forme d'un axe en rotation doté d'un couple très important. La recherche depuis quelques décennies d'énergies renouvelables et non polluantes ainsi que la hausse importante du prix des énergies fossiles permet à ce dispositif de répondre à cette demande. La terre étant couverte au 4/5 par des mers ou océans, l'exploitation de ce dispositif est quasi illimitée. The present invention relates to a device for recovering all the energies of the waves covered by this device and to make this recovered energy exploitable in the form of a rotating axis with a very large torque. The research of the last few decades of renewable and non-polluting energies as well as the significant increase of the price of the fossil energies allows this device to answer this demand. The land is covered 4/5 by seas or oceans, the exploitation of this device is almost unlimited.
La principale application de ce dispositif est de le coupler avec un générateur d'électricité produisant ainsi de l'électricité propre et très bon marché. The main application of this device is to couple it with an electricity generator thus producing clean electricity and very cheap.
La deuxième application est de pomper de l'eau froide des fonds sousmarins pour climatiser les logements dans les pays chauds ou de remplir des barrages artificiels. La troisième application est de le coupler à une hélice de propulsion permettant ainsi certains transports maritimes à très faible coût. The second application is to pump cold water from the seabed to cool homes in hot countries or fill artificial dams. The third application is to couple it to a propulsion propeller allowing some shipping at very low cost.
La quatrième application est l'alimentation en énergie de bouées marines servant de balises lumineuses. Le dispositif permet de fournir l'alimentation électrique ainsi que l'énergie nécessaire au déplacement en y couplant une hélice. En y adaptant un système GPS et une liaison satellite, on peut programmer le déplacement des bouées. The fourth application is the power supply of marine buoys used as light beacons. The device provides the power supply and the energy required for displacement by coupling a propeller. By adapting a GPS system and a satellite link, you can program the movement of the buoys.
A noter que l'on peut coupler ce dispositif simultanément avec un générateur d'électricité, une pompe et une hélice de propulsion. Ce système exploite la différence de niveau relative entre le sommet d'une vague et son creux. Ce système n'ayant pas pour référence un point fixe (comme le fond de la mer par exemple), il est parfaitement indépendant du niveau des marées et peut être installé en n'importe quel endroit des mers ou océans. Son architecture permet de collecter de l'énergie avec des vagues de très faible amplitude (houle) jusqu'à de très fortes amplitudes ( de 10 cm a plusieurs mètres). It should be noted that this device can be coupled simultaneously with an electricity generator, a pump and a propulsion propeller. This system exploits the relative level difference between the top of a wave and its hollow. This system is not based on a fixed point (like the seabed for example), it is perfectly independent of the level of the tides and can be installed in any place of the seas or oceans. Its architecture makes it possible to collect energy with waves of very low amplitude (swells) up to very high amplitudes (from 10 cm to several meters).
Unité de base: Les dessins 1 et 2 en annexe illustrent l'invention. Le dessin 1 décrit le principe de l'unité de base. Le dessin 2 décrit le principe de couplage des unités de base sur un câble métallique. Base unit: Drawings 1 and 2 in the appendix illustrate the invention. Drawing 1 describes the principle of the basic unit. Drawing 2 describes the principle of coupling the base units on a wire rope.
Lorsqu'une vague survient les flotteurs (1) et (2) attachées au corps central par les tubes (4) et (5) subissent une poussée verticale vers le haut dont la force est calculable d'après le principe d'Archimède. When a wave occurs the floats (1) and (2) attached to the central body by the tubes (4) and (5) undergo an upward thrust whose strength is computable according to the principle of Archimedes.
Le flotteur (1) à cause de la disposition de son click de blocage (8) aura une rotation libre autour de son axe et dont l'amplitude en degrés sera déterminée par la hauteur de la vague. Le flotteur (2) à cause de la disposition de son click de blocage (12) qui le rend solidaire du pignon (7) transmettra la totalité de cette force sous forme de couple au pignon (7) qui tournera donc autour de son axe (9). La force transmise étant égale a la force d'Archimède (en newton) X la distance du flotteur a l'axe du pignon (en mètre) X la fréquence de la vague (en secondes). L'énergie ainsi transmise est quantifiée en watt (joule/seconde). Pour que le flotteur (1) et (2) puisse subir une poussée verticale vers le haut il faut que le pignon (7) subisse une force négative vers le bas plus ou moins égale a cette force. The float (1) because of the disposition of its blocking click (8) will have a free rotation about its axis and whose amplitude in degrees will be determined by the height of the wave. The float (2) because of the disposition of its blocking click (12) which makes it integral with the pinion (7) will transmit all of this force as a torque to the pinion (7) which will therefore rotate about its axis ( 9). The transmitted force being equal to the force of Archimedes (in Newton) X the distance of the float has the axis of the pinion (in meter) X the frequency of the wave (in seconds). The energy thus transmitted is quantified in watt (joule / second). In order for the float (1) and (2) to undergo upward vertical thrust, the pinion (7) must undergo a negative force downwards more or less equal to this force.
Le plateau de freinage (10) a pour objet ce but en opposant une résistance négative verticale. Le flotteur (3)donne à l'ensemble pignon (7), plateau de freinage (10)une flottaison neutre. Lorsque la vague se retire le flotteur (1) subit une poussée verticale vers le bas due à la gravité et donc devenu solidaire du pignon à cause du click de blocage (8) transmet cette force au pignon (7). Cette force transmise sera également quantifiée en watt. The purpose of the braking plate (10) is to achieve this purpose by opposing a vertical negative resistance. The float (3) gives the pinion assembly (7), braking plate (10) a neutral floatation. When the wave withdraws the float (1) undergoes a downward thrust due to gravity and thus become secured to the pinion because of the locking click (8) transmits this force to the pinion (7). This transmitted force will also be quantified in watt.
Le flotteur (2) subit également une poussée verticale de haut en bas due à la gravité et à cause du click de blocage (12) a une rotation libre autour de son axe (11). The float (2) also undergoes a vertical upward thrust due to gravity and because of the lock click (12) has free rotation about its axis (11).
Ce cycle étant accomplit, à la prochaine vague, le même phénomène se répétera. This cycle being accomplished, at the next wave, the same phenomenon will be repeated.
Nous avons donc un moteur qui produit un couple de façon cyclique dont les caractéristiques sont prédictibles et calculables. En modifiant la taille (volume) des flotteurs (1) et (2) et en modifiant la distance des flotteurs à l'axe central, on peut augmenter ou réduire le couple et augmenter ou réduire la vitesse de rotation. La distance entre les flotteurs (1) et (2) et l'axe central peut varier de 0.50 cm a plusieurs mètres. Le volume des flotteurs (1) et (2) peut varier de 1 litre à plusieurs centaines de litres. So we have a motor that produces a couple in a cyclic manner whose characteristics are predictable and computable. By changing the size (volume) of the floats (1) and (2) and changing the distance of the floats to the central axis, one can increase or reduce the torque and increase or decrease the speed of rotation. The distance between the floats (1) and (2) and the central axis can vary from 0.50 cm to several meters. The volume of the floats (1) and (2) can vary from 1 liter to several hundred liters.
En connectant ces unités de bases par un câble métallique flexible (14) dont les pignons de chaque unité de bases (7) sont rendus solidaire à ce câble (14) par une vis de blocage (15), on collecte la somme des énergies délivrées par chaque unité de base aux deux extrémités de ce câble (16) et (17). On a donc un moteur qui génère des puissances considérables. La câble (14) étant flexible le moteur s'adapte parfaitement dans l'espace aux niveaux différents de la mer. Le câble étant en constante rotation il gardera une linéarité relative. By connecting these basic units by a flexible metal cable (14) whose gears of each base unit (7) are secured to this cable (14) by a locking screw (15), the sum of the energies delivered is collected. by each base unit at both ends of this cable (16) and (17). So we have an engine that generates considerable power. The cable (14) being flexible the motor fits perfectly in the space at different levels of the sea. The cable being in constant rotation it will keep a relative linearity.
Vu la longueur des câbles métalliques disponibles sur le marché, on peut réaliser un moteur d'une longueur de plusieurs centaines de mètres générant jusqu'à 100 KWatts d'énergie. A noter qu'en cas de blocage d'une des unités de base les flotteurs (1) et (2) de cette unité de base tourneront autour de l'axe ne bloquant pas ainsi tout le système. Given the length of the metal cables available on the market, it can realize a motor of a length of several hundreds of meters generating up to 100 KWatts of energy. Note that in case of blocking one of the base units floats (1) and (2) of this base unit will rotate around the axis does not block the whole system.
Le freinage entraîné par ce blocage viendra en déduction de l'énergie totale récupérée. Braking caused by this blockage will be deducted from the total energy recovered.
