Wind-Water Machine Set
A wind-water machine set is an evolving jet machine that moves the internal engine to the outside of the sleeve to work, instead of using a water jet as the main and air-jet as the auxiliary. When a ship uses multiple groups of wind-water machine set, there is a master control center for overall control and coordinated operation. Controlling the propulsion system makes the ship move forward and backward in an orderly manner. Control the surfing system to eliminate the bow water resistance and cooperate with the propulsion system. The steering control system is controlled to make the ship easy to operate the steering. Control the balance system to keep the ship balanced without swaying the roll angle. Control the draught system so that ships do not need ballast water. So that the ship can sail at super high speed, super fuel-efficient and safe.
Runner for a hydraulic turbine or pump and method of manufacturing
A runner for a hydraulic turbine or pump includes a plurality of blades, each blade being defined by a pressure surface, an oppositely facing suction surface, a leading edge and a spaced apart trailing edge. At least one blade has a device for supplying a flow of oxygen containing gas to the trailing edge of at least one of the blades. The profile of the suction side surface of the blade along a cross section through a point P1 and a point P2 is concave. The point P1 is located on the suction side surface of the trailing edge where an opening is located, the point P2 is spaced apart from the point P1 by less than 3% of the runner outlet diameter D and the point P2 is located upstream of the point P1 on a line perpendicular to the trailing edge starting at the point P1.

Accordingly, the wave is drawn into the air compressing section, is stored in a compressed air storage tank by converting kinetic energy of the wave into compressed air, and can be utilized for power generation and the like.
CAVITATION FREE ROTARY MECHANICAL DEVICE WITH IMPROVED OUTPUT
The present invention relates to a cavitation free rotary mechanical device with improved output and, in particular, to a rotary mechanical device (such as a hydro turbine, marine propeller, etc) including a rotatable shaft and associated blades (or cups or vanes), the rotary mechanical device configured to introduce air at one or more areas of extremely low pressure force on the surface of, or at least in the proximity of, the rotatable blades (or cups or vanes) during rotation and thereby prevent cavitation effects that would otherwise be caused by the extremely low pressure forces acting on such surfaces during operation.
SYSTEM FOR ENERGY STORAGE AND ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION
A system for energy storage and electricity generation is described. The system includes an energy storage system providing compressed air and an electricity generation system. The electricity generation system includes an airlift pumping system pneumatically coupled to the energy storage system. The airlift pumping system includes a water collecting tank containing collecting water and a riser tube having a base immersed in the collecting water and configured for injection of the compressed air into the riser tube through the air pipeline to provide air bubbles within the riser tube that produce an upward flow of the collecting water together with the air bubbles. The electricity generation system also includes a hydro-electric power system driven by upward flow of the collecting water together with the air bubbles to produce electricity, and a water heating system for heating the collecting water in the water collecting tank.
Air injection device for hydraulic turbine
An air injection device for a hydraulic turbine includes: a body having a first end and a second end; an air injection passage extending through the body from the second end to the first end; a protrusion disposed at the first end of the body; and one or more air injection holes disposed in the protrusion.
Aeration cone for hydraulic turbine
An aeration apparatus for aerating water discharged from a hydraulic turbine includes: a manifold disposed within a crown of a runner of the hydraulic turbine; a plurality of radial pipes extending radially from an outer perimeter of the manifold and in fluid communication with the manifold; and one or more air injectors having a first end disposed within an aeration pipe, each of the one or more air injectors having a second end extending into a nozzle at a first end of one of the radial pipes. Rotation of the aeration apparatus resulting from rotation of the runner causes pumping of water from the manifold through the radial pipes past the one or more air injectors, and water flowing past the one or more air injectors causes air to become entrained in the water. The radial pipes discharge the water and entrained air from the aeration apparatus.
