  • the portable hydro-generator 100 in a preferred embodiment is as depicted in Figure 1 of the drawings.
  • the portable hydro-generator 100 includes a tower 10, which is filled with a driving fluid 110.
  • the driving fluid 110 is introduced into a semi-sealed tubular housing 80 through the inlet means 60, which, in a preferred embodiment, is a series of conduits 61.
  • the semi-sealed tubular housing 80 is defined as having a drive portion 81 , a return portion 82 and an output chamber 83.
  • the semi-sealed tubular housing 80 is previously primed with a fluid 70.
  • the driving fluid 110 from the tower 10 flows through the series of conduits 61 via potential energy, this potential energy transforms to kinetic energy, thus allowing the driving fluid 110 impinges on the fluid 70 at the drive portion 81 of the semi-sealed tubular housing 80.
  • the region of the drive portion 81 where the driving fluid 110 impinges on the primed fluid 70 within the semi-sealed tubular housing 80 is known as the pressure chamber 21. It is the pressure chamber 21 that the main input energy is received for the portable hydro-generator 100.
  • the level of the driving fluid 110 in the tower 10 is as high as possible to create a higher pressure head, it is understood that the difference in height between the level of the driving fluid 110, and the height of the output chamber 83, will determine the amount of backflow occurring.
  • the level of driving fluid 110 within the tower 10 is preferably slightly higher than the output chamber 83, to minimize a backflow occurring within the semi-sealed tubular housing 80 of the portable hydro-generator 100, and also to create a high pressure head to allow a greater impinging force on the fluid 70.
  • the driving fluid 110 and the fluid 70, are the same fluid, and have been defined as such for the purposes of explaining the present invention in greater detail. Further, as the present invention is intended to be for use in domestic and industrial applications, this fluid is preferably a fluid commonly used and found, and is preferred to be water.
  • a series of paddles 30 is linked within the periphery of the tubular housing 80, and is the main conveyance of the impinging force introduced to the portable hydro-generator 100, via the pressure chamber 21.
  • the paddles 30 are linked by means of a linkage assembly, which, in a preferred embodiment, and as shown in Figure 1, is a linkage bar 34. It is to be appreciated that the paddles 30 are in a stretched position 36 when in the drive portion 80, and in a closed position 37 when in the return portion 82.
  • the driving fluid 110 is introduced into the pressure chamber 21 , the potential energy possessed by this fluid 110 by virtue of the height of the tower 10 above the pressure chamber 21 is transformed to kinetic energy, and the driving fluid 110 is allowed to impinge on the primed fluid 70 of the semi-sealed tubular housing 80.
  • This initial force causes the paddles 30 within the pressure chamber 21 to move downwards, and to turn towards the return portion 82.
  • the tubular housing 80 is previously primed, the fluid 70 within the drive chamber will also move downwards.
  • a pre-pressure chamber 20 is provided to trap the fluid displaced from the output chamber which houses the sprocket wheel. This causes the fluid pressure in the output chamber to decrease, creating a suction force in the output chamber. The suction force then draws fluid into the output chamber from the return chamber.
  • the subsequent paddles will also begin to move in an anti-clockwise direction, as shown in Figure 1.
  • the paddles 30 are maintained in a stretched position 36 throughout the drive portion 81 by means of a stop means 38 on the paddle 30.
  • This stop means 38 will prevent the paddles 30 from rotating to a closed position 37.
  • the paddles 30 have to be in a closed position 37 at the return portion 82. This is done by including a wedge 13 at a drop off point 23. This wedge 13 tilts the paddle 30, so that it will be rotated to a closed position 37.
  • This wedge 13 in a preferred embodiment, is a protrusion from the inner wall of the semi-sealed tubular housing 80. It is envisioned that the wedge 13, can be in the form of a plurality of wedges 13, and it can be provided on the guide walls 14 of the semi-sealed tubular housing 80. It is further to be understood that the wedge 13 may be at a position after the drop off point 23, and not directly at the drop off point 23.
  • the portable hydro- generafor 100 is further fitted with a lower receptacle tank 40.
  • the height of the lower receptacle tank 40 is such that it is lower than the height of the drop off point 23, so as to maintain a region of atmospheric pressure on the drive portion 81 , thus creating a larger imbalance, or greater driving force on the drive portion, and comparatively less resistive force on the return portion 82.
  • the lower receptacle tank 40 is further fitted with an overflow tank 41 with a return pump 42 so that the level of driving fluid 110 in the tower 10 can be maintained.
  • the level of fluid 70 within the lower receptacle is known as the perceived fluid level, and it is appreciated that the perceived fluid level maintains at the level height of the overflow tank 41.
  • the internal diameter of the tubular housing 80 is of a larger diameter at the drive portion 81 than at the return portion 82. This is to further allow an imbalance within the tubular housing 80, such that the downward force at the drive portion 81 is greater than the upward resistive force of the return portion 82, and hence, create a net anti-clockwise rotation of the primed fluid 70, and also the paddles 30.
  • the output chamber 83 is preferably situated at the top of the tubular housing 80 as seen in Figure 1.
  • the output chamber 83 houses the sprocket wheel 50.
  • the output chamber 83 further includes an abutment 12, to allow the paddles 30 to rotate from a closed position 37 to a stretched position 36 such that it interacts with the sprocket wheel 50 to rotate it.
  • the guide walls 14, extend from the return portion 82, to the output chamber 83, and ends just before the abutment 12, so that the closed position 37 of the paddles 30, are maintained till that point, to minimize upward resistance. It is to be appreciated that when the paddles 30 rotate to a stretched position 36 at the abutment 12, the position of the paddle 30 is such that it provides a seal, so that there will be no backflow occurring, which would compromise the driving force from the pressure chamber 21.
  • the abutment 12 is positioned right after the top dead center of the sprocket wheel 50 so that the downward force acting on the sprocket wheel 50 by the paddles 30 in a stretched position 36 is more effective.
  • a cover 90 is detachably attached to the upper end of the tower and a second cover 92 detachably attached to the open end of the lower receptacle tank. Having the covers allow the pressures of the air in the covered tower and tank to be increased to being higher than atmospheric air pressure. The increased air pressure causes the driving fluid 110 to impinge on the linkage bar 34 with greater force, increasing the efficiency of the generator.
  • each cover has a regulating means 94, 96.
  • This is for regulating the air pressure independently in the covered tower and tank for controlling the efficiency of the generator.
  • the regulating means can regulate the air pressure to be lower than atmospheric pressure when required.
  • a return auxiliary pipe 97 outfitted with a one-directional flow valve 99 is connected from a lower receptacle tank 40 to the output chamber to supply fluid into the output chamber.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the paddle 30 and linkage assembly.
  • the linkage assembly is shown in the preferred embodiment as a linkage bar 34.
  • the paddle 30 consists of a top surface 31 and a bottom surface 32.
  • the top surface 31 includes studs 39 so that the surface area of the top surface 31 is increased. This is to ensure that more force can be obtained by the pressure exerted on the top surface 31 of the paddle 30.
  • the circumference of the paddle 30 further includes seals 33, to ensure a tight fit with the internal diameter of the semi-sealed tubular housing 80 when in a stretched position 36.
  • the paddle 30 is hingedly connected to a linkage bar 34 on the top surface 31 , as seen in Figure 2.
  • To link a subsequent paddle 30, the other end of the linkage bar 34 is fitted with an engagement means 35 to attach to the bottom surface 32 of the subsequent paddle 30.
  • the engagement means 35 further includes a stop means 38 to prevent the subsequent paddle from freely rotating.
  • Figure 3 shows the engagement means 35 connected to a subsequent paddle 30.
  • the stop means 38 is shown whereby it stops the paddle 30 from over rotating.
  • the sprocket wheel as seen in Figure 4, includes a bearing cap 51 and shaft housing 52.
  • the shaft housing can be coupled to any output generator for the generation of power or electricity.
