An energy storage system, including: electrically powered liquid pumps, for streaming liquid into liquid-gas tanks; one or more liquid-gas tanks, adapted to intake a portion of gas and to utilize liquid streamed by the one or more electrically powered liquid pumps, as a piston for compressing the received portion of gas, wherein the one or more liquid-gas tanks are further adapted to deliver the compressed gas to one or more compressed gas storage tanks, and to stream the liquid back to the one or more electrically powered liquid pumps; one or more compressed gas storage tanks adapted to store compressed gas received from the one or more liquid-gas tanks; pipping components, branches thereof, and controllable valves, for enabling controlled streaming of liquid and gas through the storage system; a plurality of sensors, adapted to provide information related to liquid and gas in the storage system, such as to enable corresponding control of the storage system by one or more controllers; one or more controllers for managing the streaming of gas and liquid through the storage system.
Gravity power and desalination technology system
A gravity power and desalination technology system is provided, including a heat storage apparatus, an inner tube portion, a hot-air and vapor generator, and venting holes, a corrugated tube portion, an outer tube portion, an updraft wind power generator, and an artificial hydro power generator. The heat storage apparatus is provided in a lower portion and configured. The inner tube portion has an inner vent portion inside and disposed vertically over the heat storage apparatus. The hot-air and vapor generator is disposed between the heat storage apparatus and the inner tube portion. The venting holes are bored through the inner tube portion obliquely outwards. The corrugated tube portion is provided on a top portion of the outer tube portion. The updraft wind power generator and the artificial hydro power generator are installed in the lower portions of the inner vent portion and the outer vent portion, respectively.
Buoyant energy devices
A buoyant energy device is disclosed. Differing specific gravities between various materials are used to drive turbine blades to create energy by cycling the materials through a turbine activation area. The materials include water, oils, gasses (lighter than air and ambient air), or various other materials as circumstances may require. The device produces electricity that may be stored or used immediately. It is contemplated that the device could be used to power a missile, a torpedo, static mines, or the like.
POWER TUNNEL
A power tunnel comprises a tube body, an inlet, and an outlet. The tube body provides space to accommodate gases, liquids, people, vehicles, etc. The power tunnel can be used for energy storage, power generation, air-raid shelter, or other purposes.
O. U. Buoyancy Hydro Electric Loop Piston
This is a machine that contains a fluid loop that is utilized by using buoyancy and gravity to produce a fluid flow through a hydro turbine or other flow energy converter within the enclosed system. In one embodiment compressed gas is injected into a vessel at the underside of a piston to create a buoyant condition which forces the piston upward, thusly forcing the fluid above the piston through the hydro turbine. In another embodiment fluid or other matter fills a hollow piston at the top of the vessel and through the force of gravity descends, thusly forcing the fluid beneath the hollow piston downward and in turn upward through the adjoined vessel and then through the hydro turbine. In both referenced embodiments alternating ascent and descent cycles can be utilized within each adjoined vessel to cause fluid flow through the hydro turbine. Other embodiments are presented within as examples.
PUMP DEVICE FOR CONVERTING ROTATION INTO FLUID FLOW
The present invention relates to an apparatus for converting rotation into fluid flow and/or fluid flow into rotation. The apparatus comprises a first coiled fluid conduit and a second coiled fluid conduit and a fluid separator for separating a first fluid from a second fluid having a second density different from the first density. The fluid separator is configured in such a way that when, during rotation of the fluid conduits first mass portions of the first fluid and second mass portions of the second fluid are alternatingly transported by the first fluid conduit into or from the fluid separator, third mass portions of the first fluid and fourth mass portions of the second fluid are alternatingly transported from or to the fluid separator by the second fluid conduit. A ratio between each of the first mass portions and each of the second mass portions is substantially greater than a ratio between each of the third mass portions and each of the fourth mass portions. This provides for a net flow of one of the first and second fluids through the apparatus.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENERGY GENERATION AND FLUID TREATMENT
The system and method for energy generation along with fluid treatment includes but not limited to aeration, filteration and heat transfer or temperature control. The system may comprise at least one first enclosed chamber. Further plurality of nozzles are configured to allow flow of the fluid into the at least one first enclosed chamber. The system further comprises plurality of second chambers connected to the at least one first enclosed chamber through a network of pipes. Further the system comprises an aerofoil turbine mounted in the plurality of second chambers, wherein the aerofoil turbine is configured to receive a second fluid (example: atmospheric air) via plurality of inlets ports positioned on periphery of the aerofoil turbine.
Multisource Renewable Energy Generation
A multisource generator system and associated processes generate electricity using one or more of wind power, hydropower, mechanical power, and solar power. The power sources may be selectively attached and activated to generate the electricity. A rotor may be actuated in response to both the wind power and the hydropower. The mechanical power may further actuate the rotor.
HYDROELECTRIC POWER GENERATING SYSTEM
The hydroelectric power generating system includes a reservoir for retaining a body of water and an outer vessel that surrounds a peripheral wall of the reservoir. A circumferential canal extends between an upper portion of the reservoir peripheral wall and the outer vessel. One or more penstocks extend below the canal between the reservoir and the outer vessel. Each penstock has one or more hydroelectric turbine generators installed therealong. A plurality of primary wind turbines can be disposed on a peripheral wall of the reservoir and a plurality of air columns can be disposed within the reservoir to generate auxiliary power.
ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Energy conversion systems and methods are provided that comprise at least one or more of at least one solar converter that converts solar energy of sunlight into electricity, at least one wind converter that converts kinetic energy of wind into the electricity, and/or at least one wave converter that converts kinetic energy of waves of a body of water into the electricity.
