Hydro Enhanced Airjet Impeller Electricity Generating System

Abstract

A electricity generating system consists of the following components: Supply of compressed air. Non-corrosive water filled circular tank structure. Cribbage to secure equipment. Air jet Impellers. Air recapturing hoods. Air injection nozzles. Air entrapment chambers. Axial power transfer equipment for operating A.C. electricity generators. The supply of compressed air is obtained from several existing methods; such as a water wheel operating air compressing pumps. Compressed air is injected into air entrapment chambers attached to the impeller surface. Air entrapment chambers are nozzle filled at lowest reference point of circular tank. Chambers are filled in a rotation series. Impellers are rotated by the air lift forces being applied to one side of an imaginary vertical plane. Air released from impeller is captured and reused to drive the next in line impeller. The leveraged rotational force of the impeller axle drives a hydraulic pumps which spins an electricity generator.

Claims

1. The air entrapment chambers are formed in an arched configuration to facilitate the maximum lifting force of the submerged air injection nozzle.

2. The air entrapment chambers are formed in a curved configuration to conform to the circular surface of the impeller.

3. The arched air entrapment chambers are left open at both ends of the air entrapment chambers.

4. The air entrapment chambers are formed as a set attached together at the mid length point of the impeller.

5. The air entrapment chambers receive the injected air at the midpoint of the impeller assembly.

6. The air injection ports at the midpoint of the impeller assembly have a baffle centrally located between the left side ports and right side ports to equalize the volume of air received by each air entrapment chamber.

7. The open exhaust ports of the air entrapment chambers terminate at the outer edges of the impeller assembly where the injected air expels the water downward from the air entrapment chambers; thus creating a thrust against the surrounding waterassisting the rotation of the impeller.

8. Multiple impellers are submerged horizontally in a tier, in a water filler cylindrical container.

9. An air injection nozzle mechanism attached to an air collection recompressing hood assemble services the second and third air jet impeller sets.

10. The foot pounds of energy from the air jet impeller axles is harnessed to drive electric generators by Hydraulic pumps.

11. The configuration of the air entrapment chambers maximizes the air lifting forces thus generating more electricity per cubic foot of air introduced.

12. The open ports design of air jet entrapment chambers allows for rapid air escape at the exhaust position and rapid water refill of chambers on the gravitational downward pull side of the impellers.

13. The operational process of using two Natural Renewal Elements, namely, Water and Air leaves no carbon foot print.

14. The air injection nozzle is house in an adjustable sliding skid frame allowing for advancing or retarding the air injection timing.

15. A used air hooded exhausted port is located at the top of the water containment tank designed to prevent exterior air particles from contaminating the interior water.

16. All component in contact with water are made or coated with rust resistive materials for extending their functional life span.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] General Construction and composition of materials explanatory notes. All materials submerged or in contact with water are made with non-corrosive products or are corrosive resistant or coated with non-corrosive compounds to extend the life spam of their functionality. The air entrapment chambers are formed in a curved arch, the shape of their attachment surface matching the circular circumference face of the impeller assembly.

[0025] Note: all figures and numbers refer to the attached drawings (two pages) All mechanical equipment is submerged in a water bath containment tank (FIG. 1 No.7) a compressed air supply line (FIG. 2 No.1) delivers air to the first of three air jet impellers (FIG. 2 No.11). Air enters the entrapment chambers (FIG. 1 No.3) by way of the air injection ports (FIG. 1. No. 2) when ports are rotational positioned at their air reception point. As the air is injected into the air entrapment chambers it forces the water out the exhaust end of the air entrapment chamber, which is terminated at a downward angle thus exerting a position rotational thrust that assist the Hydraulic lifting force of the air in the containment chambers. The arched curve design of the air chambers keep the injected air trapped until the rotating impeller positions the open ends of the air filter chambers in an upward exhaust position allowing the air to escape. The submerged impeller air chambers are then gravitationally refilled with water which assist the rotational force to the impeller.

[0026] An air recapture compartment (FIG. 1 No. 4) are located between the first and second impeller then between the second and third impeller. The recaptured air is used to drive the second and third impeller similar to the first impeller. This multiple use of the injected air into the system gives a compounded energy force to the series of impellers which is then transferred to each impellers axle (FIG. 1 No. 5 Each axle has an attached hydraulic pump (FIG. 1 No.8) which pumps the hydraulic fluid to drive an electric generator (FIG. 1 No.9) the generator electricity is then distributed through a power line (FIG. 10 No 10) to a power grid system.
