Description
A method of energy conversion and device for its implementation
The invention relates to the field of electrical engineering and, in particular, to electrical energy converters using the dynamic Casimir effect.
A certain number of patents are known for methods and devices for energy conversion using the dynamic Casimir effect.
Basically, the inventions relate to the formation of resonant cavities in various materials to extract quantum energy in these cavities.
Closer to the claimed are US patents No. US 9,444,264 dated 09/13/2016, US No. 10,243,405 dated 03/26/2019 and US No. 10,992,182 dated 04/27/2021 by the same inventor and individual applicant Bonifacio J. Yales from the Philippines, which are successive developments of a method and system for supplying power to a load based on a transformer.
As the closest prototype, we take the latest patent US 10,992,182.
The system includes one or more primary coils tuned to a load and one or more secondary coils. The system is tuned to the resonances of the transformer and load coils.
The core is made of grain oriented silicon steel sheets coated with silicon and densely packed to maximize the Casimir effect on thin silicon laminated steel sheets.
However, the use of sheet steel does not provide a sufficiently effective Casimir cavity over a large area between the sheets, because it is impossible to provide a constant nanometer gap between the sheets and such a resonator will have a very low quality factor, so the conversion efficiency drops.
In addition, the transformer is tuned to the inductive parametric resonance of the coils, matched with the load.
The claimed invention relates to a method and device for energy conversion in two versions.
(First option). A method of energy conversion, including excitation in the primary electromagnetic circuit of parametric electromagnetic oscillations, transmission of these oscillations to a secondary electromagnetic circuit through a magnetic circuit passing by a magnetic flux through the primary and secondary circuits and collecting of energy in the secondary circuit, characterized in that a polycrystalline and/or a fine-grained ferromagnetic medium is used in the magnetically conductive circuit, and, at least in one section of the ferromagnetic circuit, parametric electromagnetic oscillations are excited as resonant for groups of cavities with similar parameters and formed by gaps between the grains of a ferromagnetic material that satisfy the conditions for the occurrence of the dynamic Casimir effect.
The method is realized by the following means:
An energy conversion device, including:
Primary energy electromagnetic oscillation generator,
The primary circuit connected to the generator and the secondary circuit connected to the load, both circuits are connected through a ferromagnetic core, together representing asymmetrical transformer;
The device is characterized by the fact that :
The core is made of polycrystalline and/or fine-grained ferromagnetic material.
The primary energy generator includes tuning means in the frequency range that satisfies the conditions for the occurrence of the dynamic Casimir effect in large groups of homogeneous cavities with similar parameters and formed between intergranular or intergranular spaces in a ferromagnetic medium.
(Second option) An energy conversion method, including the excitation of parametric electromagnetic oscillations in the primary electromagnetic circuit of the circuit, the transmission of these oscillations to the secondary electromagnetic circuit through the magnetic circuit, by passing the magnetic flux through the primary and secondary circuits, and the collection of energy in the secondary circuit, characterized in that in in a magnetic circuit, a polycrystalline and/or fine-grained ferromagnetic medium is used, and, at least in one section of the ferromagnetic circuit, parametric electromagnetic oscillations are additionally excited as resonant for most groups of cavities with similar parameters and formed by gaps between the grains of the ferromagnetic material that satisfy the conditions for the occurrence of the dynamic Casimir effect.
The method of the second variant is realized by the following means:
- An energy conversion device according to
claim 2, including: - Primary energy electromagnetic oscillation generator,
- The primary circuit connected to the generator and the secondary circuit connected to the load, connected through a core of polycrystalline or fine-grained ferromagnetic material, together representing an asymmetrical transformer.
- The device is characterized in that :
- The core is made of polycrystalline and/or fine-grained ferromagnetic material, and the device further includes:
- An additional generator connected to an additional circuit covering at least one section of the core;
- Means for setting up an additional generator in the frequency range that satisfies the conditions for the occurrence of the dynamic Casimir effect in large groups of homogeneous cavities formed between crystallites and/or intergranular spaces in a ferromagnetic medium
To increase the conversion efficiency, a sufficient volume of the resonant cavity in the nanometer range is required. (It is practically impossible to provide a constant gap in this range between thin sheets over a large area).
To obtain sufficient volume and efficient energy conversion, studies were carried out on polycrystalline and fine-grained magnetically conductive materials, including ferrites. It has been found that intergranular and/ or intergranular cavities of nanometer dimensions can be used to obtain the dynamic Casimir effect. Moreover, these cavities are formed naturally during the formation of these materials, although they can be created artificially through the use of special technologies.
Nevertheless, certain cavities are present in the material , and a significant part of them have similar parameters and are located close to each other. For a significant part of such cavities, there are general resonant conditions that can be selected and excited by an external magnetic field throughout the entire depth of the material. At the same time, the smaller the particles of this material (crystallites or grains), the more such cavities become, their resonance becomes noticeable and contributes to the release of significant additional energy.
In this way,
The inventor found that in polycrystalline and/or finely dispersed materials, resonant cavities are formed in intercrystalline or intergranular spaces, in which the dynamic Casimir effect can manifest naturally.
One can choose resonance conditions for a sufficiently large group of such cavities in order to obtain additional energy in them.
According to the tests carried out on a number of samples, the energy conversion coefficient even when using serial components reached 28. Further development is possible.
The stated essence explained -5 . _
The output energy is taken on the coil L 2 and sent to the inverter 2 connected to the load.
The feedback signal from the inverter is fed to the controller 3, which generates a control signal for fine tuning the frequency of the frequency fine tuning unit 4 of the generator 1. The positive feedback circuit of the output inverter 2 is connected to the generator 1 and can feed it for a certain time.
The excitation generator 1 can initially be powered by an AC or DC source.
(Option 2.) The circuit of the second variant with 3 coils shown in includes a tuned generator 1, which excites an alternating electromagnetic field in the coil L1, which excites resonant oscillations in the core F in most regions of the intergranular gaps that satisfy the conditions for the manifestation of the dynamic Casimir effect.
The output energy is picked up at coil L2 and sent to inverter 2 connected to the load.
The feedback signal is fed to the controller 3, which generates a control signal for fine tuning the frequency of the frequency fine tuning unit 4 of excitation. The positive feedback circuit of the output inverter 2 is connected to the generator 1 and can feed it for a certain time.
The excitation generator 1 can initially be powered by an AC source, either AC or DC.
In this version, an additional excitation coil L 3 is connected to the fine tuning unit 4. This coil can be used for more precise tuning and a higher quality factor of the resonance of the dynamic Casimir effect.
