Subterranean energy storage system
12030732 · 2024-07-09 · ·

A subterranean energy storage system configured to store and subsequently release potential energy. Storage of potential energy is achieved by the transfer of a pseudo fluid from a first storage tank to a second storage tank located above the first storage tank, and is subsequently released by the transfer of the pseudo fluid from the second storage tank to the first storage tank. To transfer the pseudo fluid between the first and second storage tanks, the subterranean energy storage system comprises at least one continuous conveyor mechanism extending through at least one transport shaft, wherein the at least one continuous conveyor mechanism comprises a plurality of vessels arranged along a length of the continuous conveyor mechanism. The subterranean energy storage system further comprises an energy transfer means operably connected to the at least one continuous conveyor mechanism to transfer power to and from the subterranean energy storage system.

ENERGY-SAVING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

An energy-saving hydraulic system includes an exerting hydraulic device, a buffering receptacle arranged at one side of the exerting hydraulic device, an impetus hydraulic device connecting to the exerting hydraulic device, and a recovering hydraulic device. The exerting hydraulic device has a loading receptacle selectively disposed at a first high position and a first low position. The impetus hydraulic device has a transferring receptacle selectively disposed at a second high position, a recovering position, and a second low position. The second low position is lower than the buffering receptacle. The recovering hydraulic device connects the exerting hydraulic device and the impetus hydraulic device, and includes a sustaining portion. When the impetus hydraulic device is lowering to the second low position, it contacts the sustaining portion of the recovering hydraulic device to push working liquid to flow back the exerting hydraulic device from the recovering hydraulic device.

POWER GENERATION SYSTEM
20170016425 · 2017-01-19 ·

A power generation system is provided. The power generation system includes a floating body, a transmission device, a transportation tank, an upper container, and a power generator unit. The transmission device is driven by a tidal force or a buoyant force through the floating body to lift up the transportation tank to a first position, which is near to the upper container, or to lower the transportation tank down to a second position, which is at a lower level than that of the electric motor to recycle the solid particles. The upper container for carrying a plurality of solid particles is disposed at a higher level than that of the power generator unit, and is used to store and release the solid particles to drive the power generator unit to generate electric power.

ROTATIONAL WHEEL SYSTEM BY COMPOUND ACTUATION
20250376973 · 2025-12-11 ·

Provided is a rotational wheel system by a compound actuation, including a wheel including a horizontal rotation shaft and divided into equal directions in all-around orientations. Each direction has two slidable members connected by a transmission system. One is disposed with a container to hold substance from an auxiliary system for transporting the substance, and the other gradually reduces an inclination angle with a plane when the wheel rotates. The slidable members whose weight increases due to the substance slide down and move another slidable member through the transmission system to change a force arm length to produce a torque on the rotation shaft. The slidable member with the container to hold the substance also produces the torque in the same direction on the rotation shaft. The present invention uses two or more different actuation systems to jointly make the wheel generate a rotation kinetic energy.
