Description

ENERGY REGENERATOR
The present invention relates to an energy regenerating device which provides mechanical energy as a consequence of physical facts. The invention pertains to class F 03 B 17/02 according to the international patent classification. The technical problem solved by the invention disclosed herein is the construction and the embodiment of an energy regenerator which allows mechanical energy to be generated in a closed circuit of equalizer assemblies without external intervention and without affecting nature in the sense of environment pollution, while providing enough energy at a convenient price.
The energy regenerator of the invention operates according to the principles of Pascal's law and the law of gravitation, the pressurized containers (one comprising the surge tank, the other comprising the drive turbine with blades) and the connecting pipes being filled with liquid (water), whereas the turbine part and the pressure equalization part are filled with gas (nitrogen) at a computationally determined pressure. The flow rate Q is determined by the capacity of the surge tank, and the pressure is determined by the required power of the turbine. The container with the inbuilt Pelton turbine (with a regulation and control system) is connected to the surge tank by means of pipes. The surge tank is the vital part of the device. Its operating principle for ousting pressure enables substantially lower amounts of energy to be consumed for the flow of liquid, thereby enabling the closed circuit to operate.
The invention shall now be explained in detail according to an embodiment thereof and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 - transverse cross section of the energy regenerator according to the invention;
Figure 2 - longitudinal cross section of the energy regenerator according to the invention;
Figure 3 - ground view of the energy regenerator according to the invention.
Basically, the energy regenerator of the invention consists of a surge tank and a pressurized container with an inbuilt turbine. The surge tank is composed of a pressurized container 1 with a housing 3 and at least one cam 4. A pushrod bushing and a pushrod 6 are built into the housing 3. A cylinder 7 of the pushrod 6 with a one-side operating piston 8 of the ousting pushrod 6 is built on the pressurized container 1. An inflow nozzle 9 is built in the equalizer assembly as well. The equalizer assembly is controlled by means of the regulator 10 of the dosage needle and by means of the regulator 16 of the liquid level. A steel tank 11 containing nitrogen is used for reverse operation of the ousting pushrod 6. A purifier 12 is mounted on the connecting pipe 13, coming out of the container 1. Centering plugs 15 are used for supporting and centering the housing 3.
The pressurized container 2 has an inbuilt drive turbine with blades 5 and a regulator 1 OA of the dosage needle, a liquid purifier 12A and connecting pipes 13A. Operational safety is ensured by the safety valve 14. To enable power transmission, the pressurized container 2 with the inbuilt turbine has a coupling clutch 17, a reducing gear 18, a pulley 19 and a power shaft 20 which enables the transmission of power to an electrical generator or to other mechanical devices. The inventive energy regenerator may be fixedly mounted at a location or built into mobile devices. The size of the energy regenerator may be seen in Figure 1 and is dependent upon the required power.
The calculation of the energy regenerator is determined by the flow capacity of the equalizer and by the pressure inside the accumulator. The liquid flow as such is regulated by the dosage needle of the power regulator of the inbuilt turbine (Pelton). Based on calculations and practical experiments, from 16 to 28 % of the power generated by the turbine is utilized for the operation of the surge tank. The inventive energy regenerator is a closed-type energy regenerating device independent of environmental factors, which, employed in convenient numbers, provides ecologically clean and conveniently priced energy in sufficient quantity, which is made possible by the construction of the cam with the inbuilt pushrod and the accumulation pressure.
In order for the system to operate, the pressurized container 1 of the equalizer assembly is filled with liquid to the level marked in Figure 1 , while the remaining part is filled with gas (nitrogen). In the pressurized container 1 of the equalizer assembly, the pressure generated by the pressure of the gas on the liquid is accommodated to the required power of the device. In the pressurized container 2, i.e. in the turbine container (indicated as A-1 in Figure 1), the pressure is only increased for an amount that ensures the flow of liquid to the nozzle 9. The flow rate Q is determined by the capacity of the surge tank, and the accumulation pressure is determined by the calculated required power of the turbine. There must be a predetermined relationship between the flow rate and the pressure. The inflow of water in the outlet pipe 13 from the pressurized container 2 to the pressurized container 1 via the regulator 10 of the dosage needle of the surge tank is ensured by the pressure in the turbine container (A-1). When rotating, the surge tank with its cam 4 chambers expels the medium under pressure so that the liquid can flow into the chamber, which, in turn, pushes the liquid flow into the housing of the pressurized container 2 at the accumulation pressure. The level and the accumulation pressure therein are calculated for the operation of the drive turbine. Following the Pascal's law of transmission of external pressure in a liquid, the water under pressure is directed through the outlet pipe 13 and via the regulator 1OA of the dosage needle onto the blades 5 of the turbine, where it transfers its kinetic energy to the runner of the turbine. The free outflow of water at the given level completes one work cycle of the liquid, which is continuously renewed by the surge tank rotating the chamber rotor.
The energy regenerator provides solutions to a number of problems related to generating clean energy according to needs. The said energy regenerator may be installed in any convenient place, wherein it is completely independent of the outside environment, with the exception of the primary drive. It is likewise an advantage of the said energy regenerator that any number thereof may be assembled into a system, thereby ensuring that at any given moment enough generated power is available to meet the actual requirements. By adapting the device to the environment or embedding it into mobile devices, the environment can be kept unchanged, while at the same time providing a lasting source of clean energy. The energy regenerator may be assembled from apparatuses and elements known in the art. The cam of the surge tank is made by employing the technology required by the energy regenerator.
