Definitions
- the main objectives of this invention are using the differences in the temperatures between day and night, the differences in temperatures from one place to another, the differences in the temperatures between two baths (for example one bath is warmed by means of absorbing the sun radiation and the other bath is cooled by means of evaporation), or the difference in temperatures between deep underground water and the atmosphere temperatures.
- any two ranges of temperatures which can be found and between which we can work can be used as a source of energy via the difference of the pressure of a suitable fluid at the two different temperatures.
- any substance which has different pressures at different temperatures can be used as any substance which has different pressures at different temperatures. Practically it will be unwise to use any corrosive materials (such as acids, alkalis or any substances wnich may react with or damage the apparatus in use by this technique), any explosive materiais, any extreme poisonous materials (such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen cyant ⁇ e (HCN)). Any other materials which have a vital effect on the life of the people or the environment in case of an accident or leak in the aDDaratus ADart from that all the materials whicn are suitable as a pressure source can be used as long as they are used by the right and well prepared skills. THEORY NUMBER ONE
- Figure-1 theory-1 (page 32) shows a schematic diagram for a vertical power supply unit using the vapour pressure of fluid.
- the power supply unit consists of a large pressure water reservoir 6 (main reservoir), with the capability of standing the pressure, which is going to be under from the vapour pressure source and the water column 8 that is coming from reservoirs A 10 and B 13, and with a capacity that capable of continuing running the system in the period of what I call, the Breathing In Period (when the water column between the mam reservoir 6 and reservoir B 13 has a pressure higher than the pressure of the vapour pressure source).
- the pressure reservoir 6 is fitted with an elastic or a rubber bag 5 which can expand easily to replace the water, when the system is in the period of what I call, the Breathing Out Period (when the vapour pressure source has a pressure higher than the pressure of the water column between reservoir A 10 and the main reservoir 6).
- the rubber bag 5 in the mam reservoir 6 is connected via a flexible pressure tube 4 to a group of traps 3 (the traps are different in their size and number, depending on the kind and the quantity of the vapour pressure source (fluid)).
- the mam purposes of the traps 3 are to work as a reservoir for the vapour pressure source in the breathing in period, and to enable the vapour pressure source from exchanging the temperature with the surrounding bath in a suitable time.
- the vapour pressure traps are fitted with a valve 1 (for injecting in and taking out the vapour pressure source safely and easily), and with a gauge 2 or more to monitor the pressure inside the system.
- the main reservoir 6 is connected to reservoirs A 10 and B 13 via a pressure tube 8 (mam tube), which is caoable of standing the pressure when it is full of water, ana with suitable diameter to tet the water flow up ana down freely and easily as a function of the pressure, which the main reservoir 6 is going to be under
- the ressure tube 8 is fitted with two one wa valves 14 9.
- the first valve 14 is fitted to the connection between the main tube 8 and reservoir B 13 (this valve 14 permits the fluid (water) to flow only from reservoir B 13 to the main reservoir 6).
- the second valve 9 is fitted to the main tube 8 in the level between reservoirs A 10 and B 13. (this valve 9 permits the fluid to flow up only, from the main reservoir 6 to reservoir A 10). In the area of the pressure tube (between the main reservoir 6 and reservoir B 13) the fluid can flow in both directions.
- Reservoirs A 10 and B 13 each has at least twice the volume or capacity of the main reservoir.
- the unit On the nearest point on the top of reservoir B 13, the unit will equipped with turbine(s) 12 or any suitable apparatus, that is capable of transferring the potential energy of the water (fluid), which is coming down from reservoir A 10, to a useful work (e.g. generating electricity).
- turbine(s) 12 or any suitable apparatus, that is capable of transferring the potential energy of the water (fluid), which is coming down from reservoir A 10, to a useful work (e.g. generating electricity).
- Figure-2 theory-1 (page 33) shows schematic diagram for a vertical power supply unit using the vapour pressure of fluid.
- the hydraulic cylinder 7 is set in a vertical position and designed in a way such that, it becomes capable of transferring the mechanical force to an electric one (for examDie by means of rotating cnains, gears, flying wneels etc.)
- the unit we built has a hydraulic cylinder 7 with a capacity of 314.16 litre (20 cm in diameter and 1000 cm in height), a pressure reservoir 6 with a capacity of about 470 litre, a number of vapour pressure traps 3 capable of exchanging heat with the surrounding environment in a short time (say one hour) and a capacity of holding enough quantity of, say, butane (CH 3 C 2 H 4 CH 3 ) which can give 1/4 more weight than that we need when our system is in the breathing out period (This is more than the quantity needed to reach the vapour pressure at the higher temperature).
- Figure-3 theory-1 shows schematic diagram for a horizontal power supply unit using the vapour pressure of fluid.
- This model is almost identical to model number two except that it is built horizoritally and instead of balancing the vapour pressure with a load, here we are going to build the power unit in similar manner to f ⁇ gure-3 theory-1 , where each hydraulic cylinder is balanced with another identical hydraulic cylinder.
- the two identical hydraulic cylinders 8 are both under the effect of two opposite forces having the same value at the same temperature (as a result of using the same quantity of the same vapour pressure source). This system starts working when the vapour pressure traps connected to the hydraulic cylinders are under different temperatures.
- Figure-4 theory-1 (page 35) shows schematic diagram for a horizontal power supply unit using the vapour pressure of fluid.
- Figure-5a theory-1 (page 36) shows schematic diagram for a vertical power supply unit using the vapour pressure of water.
- the basic unit of this model (figure 5.a) is built of a vertical column of vapour pressure cells.
- the unit consists of a starting cell 2 (base cell) and the build up cells 7.
- the build up cells consist of vapour pressure pushing cells 3 and receiving cells 4, (the vapour pressure pushing cells 3 are similar to the base cell 2 except that, each vapour pressure pushing cell 3 is receiving its water from a receiving cell 4 built on the top of it directly, while the base cell 2 receives its water from another source outside the unit 1).
- each block consists of columns which have cells with the same height (suitable for the vapour pressure source which we are going to use and the range of the available temperatures), and with suitable diameter (s) to achieve the hignest efficiency possible.
- the base cell 2 will be refilled with water from the main source, and after bleeding the air from the pushing cell 3 under the first receiving cell 4, the water comes down and fill the pushing cell 3 with water.
- the pushing cell will be ready to repeat the same story with the base cell 2, by pushing its water up to the next receiving cell 4.
- This cycle is going to repeat itself and when the water reaches the height we need, it will end to a receiving reservoir 10 which collect the water from the rest of the columns and blocks, which will operate in a similar manner to the example unit
- the water which is collected going to be used as a force source in a similar manner to the water collected in reservoir A (figure-1 theory-1 ) model number one and recollected into main reservoir (here the main reservoir is not pressure reservoir) for reuse.
- Figure-5b theory-1 (page 37) shows schematic diagram for a vertical power supply unit using the vapour pressure of fluid.
- Figure-6a theory-1 (page 3S) shows schematic diagram for a step power supply unit using the vapour pressure of water.
- Figure-6b theory-1 shows schematic diagram for a step power supply unit using the vapour pressure of fluid.
- Vapour pressure source traps Heat exchanger. 4- Injecting vapour pressure valve.- Pressure gauge. 6- Elastic or rubber bag.
- This model is almost identical to model number five in using the water vapour pressure (figure 6a) or any other suitable vapour pressure (figure 6b) as a force to push the water up against the earth gravity.
- the only major difference of this model is that, here we use what 1 call step cells, wnere instead of one column (model number five), here (model number six) we use two columns sided to each other, and with different cells opposite to each other (each pushing cell sided with a receiving cell except that the starting cell is sided with a pushing cell).
- the main purpose of using this model is to reduce the pressure that is needed to push agamst (especially when, using the water Itself as a vapour pressure source).
- Figure-2 theory-2 (page 40) shows schematic diagram for a vertical power supply unit using the volumes differences of fluids below and above their critical temperatures
- F ⁇ gures-3,4 theory-2 show the importance of knowing the fluids density 2 (pressure sources) while they are in the liquid phase, and their changes as a function of temperatures, which are going to be available in the area of building specially before reaching the critical temperature (or more correctly the critical points Ipressure, temperature and cntical volume
- the two main forces that the turbine(s) will be under are:- a-
- the liquid fluid inside the smallest single unit (cell) which is the heat exchanger (traps) built from, (naturally is going to have the same temperature as its medium). So during the high temperature period (e.g. during day), it will start absorbing heat through its well conductive boundary, from the surrounding increased temperature, and because the right chosen fluid (in its confine volume and at the available temperatures) starts to build up a pressure higher than the pressure of the water column (8 and 3), which is coming from the pressure tube connecting between the main pressure reservoirs (6 and 2), and reservoirs A (10 and 5) (f ⁇ gure-1 theory-1 and f ⁇ gure-2 theory-2). So that the water will flow from the main reservoirs (6 and 2) to the reservoirs A (5 and 10), until all the liquid fluid gets transferred to a less condensed state with pressure and temperature in equilibrium with the pressure and temperature that is under.
- the pressure of the water column coming from the pressure tube 3 connecting between reservoirs B 8, and the main pressure reservoirs 2, has a pressure higher than the critical pressure (critical height 11 ) (figure-2 theory-2) of the concerned fluid. So that the surrounding starts absorbing the extra heat, from the heat exchanger increased temperature, until all the fluid with less condensed state gets transferred to a liquid with a pressure and temperature in equilibrium with the pressure and temperature that is under.
