[0002] Installation to generate electricity taking advantage of gravitational energy
[0004] Object of the invention
[0006] The object of the invention relates to an installation for generating electrical energy taking advantage of the operating principle of gravitational potential energy.
[0008] Background of the invention
[0010] In the current state of the art, facilities for transforming renewable energies into electrical energy generate pressure in liquids by mechanical or kinetic means and also by taking advantage of unevenness or forces of nature. Unresolved problems in known facilities lie in the fact that they depend on the weather, and that they cannot work in all places and / or at all hours. Thus, those that are based on marine energy cannot work where there is no sea, and work at very low performance when there are no waves or spring tides; those that are based on wind energy cannot work when there is no wind; and those that are based on solar energy cannot work, or work very poorly, when there is no sun or it is night.
[0012] Technical problem to solve
[0014] Trying to solve this problem, the applicant himself has developed, for example and among others, the system for generating electrical energy described in document ES2690559 that takes advantage of the quality that objects float or sink in a liquid depending on their density.
[0016] Advantages of the installation, according to the invention described in document ES2690559, lie in that it is totally ecological, constant, inexhaustible and controllable at all times.
[0017] Disadvantages that the applicant himself has been able to verify experimentally are that, at affordable costs for the installation to be profitable, it is not always possible to have the large room that is needed, or enough water to fill it.
[0018] Description of the invention
[0020] The object of the invention is an installation to generate electricity that, with respect to the precedent described in document ES2690559, eliminates the need to use large rooms and all the water contained in them.
[0021] The object of the invention is based on the principle of operation of gravitational potential energy, according to which, given two cylinders arranged one empty in a higher plane and the other full of liquid in a lower plane and interconnected by means of a conduction that forms with They are a closed circuit, the liquid in the lower cylinder under pressure can rise and the upper cylinder that generates a depression can suck this liquid in such a way that the liquid rises between them to the height of the upper cylinder through the pipeline.
[0023] The installation to generate electricity using gravitational energy, according to the invention, is characterized in that, in addition to the electricity generator itself, it consists of, at least:
[0025] • two cylinders, each with two closed chambers of variable capacity;
[0026] said cylinders being interconnected with each other by means of a conduit that forms with them a closed circuit provided with sufficient liquid to completely fill one of said chambers in one of them;
[0028] • two supporting structures carrying said cylinders and suspended from a fixed place with the possibility of turning between two extreme positions delimited by respective rotation stops;
[0030] • at least one braking lever that is activated when one of the cylinders, empty, reaches the upper position in its support structure and is deactivated when said cylinder has been filled;
[0032] • a chain linking said cylinders or their support structures to each other and is provided with a load compensator;
[0034] • means for said cylinders to exchange their positions so that, starting from the position in which one is filled with liquid on a lower plane and the other empty on a higher plane, they start to invert and flip their positions, activating the electricity generator during this rise and fall with turning.
[0035] From this basic structuring, any alternative embodiments that do not alter, change or modify the proposed essentiality are included in the object of the invention.
[0037] In particular, the installation, according to the invention, is also characterized in that:
[0039] • it has a handle in the conduit that is part of the closed circuit, to allow or occlude the passage of liquid through said conduit;
[0041] • The cylinder support structures are suspended from the fixed place using at least one pair of chains that associate their respective ends to the support structures and engage in at least two pairs of compensating pinions arranged in said fixed place and associated with the electricity generator.
[0043] It is indistinct, and it is included in the object of the invention to arrange any number of pairs of cylinders synchronizing the operation of all of them for a common electrical or mechanical output.
[0045] Advantages of the installation, according to the invention lie in that it is totally ecological, renewable, constant, inexhaustible and controllable at all times because:
[0047] • At any time, and at the discretion of the user, it can be started or stopped simply by allowing or not the passage of the liquid from one cylinder to another through the conduit that relates them;
[0049] • takes advantage of gravitational energy; being this constant and continuous;
[0050] • In addition, it does not depend on the weather, being able to work at all hours.
[0052] Other configurations and advantages of the invention can be deduced from the following description, and from the dependent claims.
[0054] Description of the drawings
[0056] To better understand the object of the invention, a preferred form of embodiment is represented in the attached figures, susceptible to accessory changes that do not alter its foundation. In this case:
[0057] Figure 1 represents, in general diagram, an installation for generating electricity, according to the invention in one of its operating phases and for a configuration that includes at least one component of each type.
[0059] Figure 2 represents general diagrams of four operating phases (a), (b), (c) and (d) of the installation of the previous figure.
[0061] Detailed description of a preferred embodiment
[0063] An example of a practical, non-limiting embodiment of the present invention is described below. Other modes of implementation in which accessory changes are introduced that do not undermine its foundation are not ruled out at all.
[0065] The object of the invention is based on the principle of operation of gravitational potential energy, according to which -see diagram (c) of figure 2-, given two cylinders (1a), (1b) arranged an empty one in a superior plane and another one filled with liquid in a lower plane and interconnected with each other by means of a conduit (3) that forms a closed circuit with them, the liquid in the lower cylinder (1a) under pressure can rise and the upper cylinder (1b) that generates a depression It can suck in this liquid so that the liquid rises between them to the height of the upper cylinder (1b) through the conduit (3).
[0067] The installation for generating electricity using gravitational energy according to the invention, in addition to the electricity generator itself (G), consists, at least, of the following components and features:
[0069] • two cylinders (1a), (1b)
[0071] • two pairs of compensating pinions (2a), (2b)
[0073] • a transfer line (3) fitted with a cutter handle (31)
[0075] • two support structures (5a), (5b)
[0077] • a chain (4) fitted with a load compensator (41)
[0079] • two pairs of chains (7a), (7b) to suspend the support structures (5a), (5b) from a fixed place (6); Y
[0080] • at least one brake lever (9) for each cylinder (1a), (1b).
[0082] The cylinders (1a), (1b) are equal to each other. Each of them defines two closed chambers of variable capacity in one of which air enters / leaves while water enters / leaves the other. These cylinders (1a), (1b) are interconnected with each other by means of a conduit that forms with them a closed circuit provided with enough liquid to fully fill one of said chambers in one of them. Normally, the liquid used is water, although the possibility of using any other fluid is not ruled out.
[0084] In each cylinder (1a), (1b), both chambers are in reverse operation:
[0086] • when in one of the cylinders (1a), (1b) one of the chambers containing air increases its capacity and its corresponding one in the other cylinder (1a), (1b) is emptied of air; and simultaneously
[0088] • when one of the cylinders (1a), (1b) one of the chambers containing water increases its capacity and its corresponding one in the other cylinder (1a), (1b) is emptied of water;
[0090] The structuring of said double-chamber cylinders (1a), (1b) is not described in greater detail since a very similar structuring is described, for example, in document ES2690559B1 of the Applicant himself (which also uses a cylinder with two chambers with the particularity that one of them is open and the other closed).
[0092] In the conduit (3) a handle (31) is arranged to allow or occlude the passage of liquid through the conduit (3) in one direction or the other; that is to say, the handle (31) can be opened or closed allowing or occluding the passage of the liquid at any time, regardless of the direction of circulation that the liquid has in the conduction (3) at that moment.
[0094] In the event that the installation has several pairs of cylinders (1a), (1b) each pair of cylinders (1a), (1b) are interconnected with each other by means of a conduit (3) provided with a handle (31) and it is required include a solution, for example a valve, for the synchronism of all of them.
[0096] The cylinders (1a), (1b) are arranged in respective support structures (5a), (5b) suspended from a fixed place (6) with the possibility of turning between two extreme positions delimited by respective rotation stops (81), ( 82).
[0097] A chain (4) relates to each other said cylinders (1a), (1b) or their support structures (5a), (5b). Said chain (4) is provided with a load compensator (41).
[0099] To suspend the support structures (5a), (5b), at least one pair of chains (7a), (7b) and at least two pairs of compensating pinions (2a), (2b) arranged in said fixed place (6) and associated with the electricity generator (G).
[0101] In each pair, the two chains (7a), (7b) are of different length.
[0103] In each pair, the two compensating pinions (2a), (2b) have different diameter and / or different number of teeth.
[0105] The chains (7a), (7b) associate their respective ends to the support structures (5a), (5b), this joint being articulated.
[0107] One of the chains (7a) meshes with the two large sprockets (2a) while the other chain (7b) meshes with the two small sprockets (2b) of the aforementioned sets of compensating sprockets (2a), (2b).
[0109] There are two braking levers (9) each associated with a cylinder (1a) or (1b). Each braking lever (9) is activated / deactivated when the corresponding empty cylinder (1a) or (1b) reaches the upper position in its support-structure (5a) or (5b) and deactivates when said cylinder (1a) or ( 1b) has been filled.
[0111] With this structure and arrangement, in a complete operating cycle, the cylinders (1a), (1b) and their supporting structures (5a), (5b) invert and flip their positions simultaneously: one of the cylinders (1a) passes from be upright, filled with liquid and in a lower plane to be inverted, empty and in a higher plane while the other cylinder (1b) goes from being inverted, empty and in a higher plane to be upright, filled with liquid and in a lower plane.
[0113] Four phases (a), (b), (c), (d) of said operating cycle have been represented in Figure 2 for an example of embodiment in which:
[0115] • cylinders (1a), (1b) with a diameter of 320 millimeters have been used; 2 meters long and 250 kilograms in weight
[0117] • support structures (5a), (5b) weighing 50 kilograms have been used
[0118] • a working height difference of 6 meters has been used
[0120] • 160 liter capacity cylinders (1a), (1b) have been used
[0122] • large sprockets (2a) with 130 teeth have been used
[0124] • small sprockets (2b) with 100 teeth have been used
[0126] Phase 1:
[0128] The upper cylinder (1a) is loaded with water and weighs 460 Kg and the lower cylinder (1b) is empty, it weighs 300 Kg so it goes down and generates electricity in the generator (G).
[0130] Starting from this phase 1 as represented in diagram (a) of figure 2, the cylinder (1a) (460 Kg) weighs more and falls; the cylinder (1b) (300 Kg) rises due to the difference in weight. When the cylinder (1a) is lowered, the generator (G) turns, making the potential energy become electrical energy, in this way the cylinder (1a) goes down and the cylinder (1b) goes up at the same time they rotate, making the cylinder (1b) when reaching the top, activate one of the braking levers (9), being blocked and not allowing it to go up or down until the cylinder (1b) fills with water and loses contact with the braking lever (9) allowing it to go down.
[0132] Phase 2:
[0134] When lowering, the long chain (7b) engages the large sprockets (2a) and releases more length than the short chain (7a) that engages the small sprockets (2b). The chains (7a), (7b) are attached to the support structures (5a), (5b) and, by means of rotation stops (81), (82) placed on them, they make the two cylinders go down and up. (1a), (1b) with the structures (5a), (5b) that support them.
[0136] When lowering, as shown in diagram (b) of figure 2, on the same horizontal axis we have a chain (7 a) engaged in the compensating pinions (2b) of 100 teeth that releases less chain length (6 meters ) and the other chain (7b) engaged in the compensating sprockets (2a) of 130 teeth that frees more length of chain (7.80 meters) and gives the same number of turns, since the two compensating sprockets (2a), ( 2b) are on the same axis, attached to the structure that supports the cylinders. When climbing, the opposite occurs: one climbs 6 meters and the other climbs 7.80 meters, thus making them turn the support-structures (5a), (5b) with the cylinders (1a), (1b) resting on the rotation stops (81), (82) of the corresponding support-structure (5a), (5b).
[0138] Phase 3:
[0140] When the empty cylinder (1b) has reached the top, it activates its corresponding braking lever (9) and with the weight of said cylinder (1b), which is 250 Kg in the example, it begins to carry out the suction depression. At the same time, the other cylinder (1a), which is below and filled with water, with the weight of the cylinder, which is 250 Kg in the example, begins to make the rising pressure of the water.
[0142] When the cylinder (1a) is at the bottom, as shown in diagram (c) of figure 2, it has more chain than the cylinder (1b) at the top. We compensate the weight of the chain by means of a load compensator (41) attached to the cylinder (1b) and this makes greater depression in the upper cylinder (1b) and in turn helps in the turn when climbing.
[0144] The pressure of the lower cylinder (1a) (250 Kg) and the depression exerted on the upper cylinder (1b) (250 Kg), also helped by the load compensator (41) of the chain (4), makes the water rise the 6 meters and reach phase 4, represented in diagram (d) of figure 2.
[0146] Phase 4:
[0148] When the cylinder (1b) that is above has been filled, its corresponding brake lever (9) is deactivated, allowing it to go down. The installation returns to phase 1 but, with the two cylinders (1a), (1b) changed their position: The upper cylinder (1b) is loaded with water weighs 460 Kg and the lower cylinder (1a) is empty it weighs 300 Kg per which goes down and generates electricity in the generator (G).
[0150] The materials, dimensions, proportions and, in general, those other accessory or secondary details that do not alter, change or modify the proposed essentiality may be variable.
[0152] The terms in which this report is written are true and a faithful reflection of the object described, and should be taken in its broadest sense and never in a limiting way.
