MECHANICAL ENGINE FOR POWER GENERATION THROUGH WATER MOVEMENT

Abstract

MECHANICAL ENGINE FOR THE GENERATION OF ENERGY THROUGH WATER MOVEMENT, refers to a mechanical motor (1) to (41), with their auxiliary sets, with the objective of generating mechanical and electrical energy, or both, being plants electric lines with this system can be built on the banks or inside the sea, river or islands, where the cost benefit of the energy by the conventional way, does not become compensating, or practically inaccessible places, but that have waves, tides, or level differentials in waters. As these sources of energy, in water there are in abundance on the planet, possible future plants of this system, may be more spread out, and in greater quantity, thus reducing the number of posts, towers, compensation equipment, components, and transmission wires. In case of use in water navigation, this engine can be used to replace, totally or partially, conventional fuels and engines, for mechanical handling, and the generation of electric energy on board.

Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] In the following the invention will be described in greater detail with representation to the drawings. It is shown:

[0022] In the drawings the arrows from (1) to (41), indicate the set that makes it work, the components of (9) to (19), in case of platform, or (6), (8) , (9), (13) to (19), (32), (35) in cases of navigation, form parts of the set, which can be more than one, and are aids to contribute to the increase in energy and, especially in the stabilization of rotation, of the electric power generator (3), also through the flywheel (29).

[0023] All of this equipment can be installed on sea or river vessels for power generation on board, or platforms, specific or not, parapets, or mountains, on borders or not, and river or sea.

[0024] We will demonstrate here, on a platform, ships, or any vessels in waters, which will also serve as an explanation for all of the above modalities; and starting the explanations of operation, it is the following:

[0025] All the equipment is mounted on the platform (1), or vessel, the floating elements (18) and (31) must have a weight such that they are only around 10% floating, and the rest sunk in the liquid, which in this case is the sea of waves (30), and in the sense of obtaining the maximum possible weight of these floating elements (18) and (31) and also a greater amplitude of the coming and going of them in this case here we will use the very sea water (19) and (33) as weight, that is, it will be filled with water, until the floating elements (18) and (31) are approximately 10% floating. The sea waves (30) cause the floating heavy elements (18) and (31) to swing through their cables, metal guides, or containment rods (32), (35), (36) and (37), or being able to be fixed on the platform pillars (1), or aquatic vessel hulls, and in the case of platforms, fixed, or without any fixation, in the bottom, artificial or natural (34), and when the floating elements (18) and (31) moving upwards, they will tend to loosen the cables (6) and (12), causing the counterweights (5) and (9), by gravity, to rotate the pulleys (15) and (24) , in the direction (13) and (25), through the pulleys (8) and (11), and (17) and (22) in the case of vessels, supported by the rods (7) and (10), or the vessel's hull (1), and the cables (6) and (12) that pass through the holes (17) and (22) on the platform (1), or pulleys (17) and (22) on the vessel (1), making the pulleys (15) and (24) through their turnstiles (16) and (23), just slide on the shaft (21), without causing any traction in this, when they are pulled in the directions (13) and (25).

[0026] When the floating elements (18) and (31) descend by the movement of the waves (30), they will pull the cables (6) and (12), through the holes (17) and (22) in the platform (1), or boat hulls (1), or pulleys (17) and (22), rotating the pulleys (15) and (24), in the direction (14) and (26), causing the turnstiles (16) and (23), fixed on the pulleys (15) and (24), are fixed on the axis (21), making it turn in the direction (14) and (26), and this rotation activates the rotation multiplier box (20), in an ideal multiplication ratio for the generator (3), through the flywheel (29) which has the function of stabilizing rotation, through the inertia effect, with or without pulleys (2) and (28), in a ideal rotation, for the characteristics of the generator (3) in question. This multiplier box (20), on water vessels, has two output shafts (38) and (39), obtaining an output for the generator (3) and another for the propeller (41), through the flywheel (29), and gearbox (40), which has the function of providing gear shifting, neutral, and reversing rotation.

[0027] Even if there is a slight change in speed in the flywheel (29), this will not change the output voltage (4) of the generator (3), because most generators have automatic voltage control, which maintains the voltage output (4) constant regardless of the generator speed (3), within a limit.

[0028] The weights of the counterweights (5) and (9) must be as small as possible in relation to the weights of the floating elements (18) and (31), but such that they do not cause the cables to slip (6) and (12) on the pulleys (15) and (24) when these cables (6) and (12) are pulled by the floating heavy elements (18) and (31), and in addition to the flywheel (29) playing an important role, described above, the floating elements (18) and (31) help you, as they increase their tractive force in the cables (6) and (12) in addition to the weight of these floating elements (18) and (31), because more traction appears than the weights of these floating elements (18) and (31) from the mass times their acceleration, greatly increasing the efficiency of energy generation at the output (4) of the generator (3).
