CONSTRUCTION OF EQUIPMENTS

(For the construction of the system of up to 1 Km )

A specially designed box made up of iron metal sheet of 5mm thickness, which we can separate into two equal parts. The Side view of the box is like a cylinder with rectangular column on both sides.

The dimension of the half of the box is 175 mm height, 220mm length and 47.5 mm width. The rectangular column of size 8 cm length and 4 cm breadth must have an edge of 4cm. In each box fix a pair of seating to fit shield bearings of 4 cm diameter and 11 cm thickness and it must be projected outside from the box. The centers of bearings seat have a hole of 12mm diameter. There are 4 clamps with 8mm holes at the projected part (outside) of the seating. There can be 10 holes of 10mm on the side edge, so as to join two half boxes into one by using nut and bolt. A bearing of 4cm diameter and 1 cm thickness. The hole on the bearing should have a diameter of 12mm. 4 bearing are required for one box. Total of 22880 bearings are needed.

Construct two rotors having 12 leaves with a length of 80mm, breadth of 40mm and the thickness of 1.5mm. The iron bar (shaft), which leaves have to be fixed, must have a length of 155mm and 12mm diameter. Leaves have to be fixed in the middle by leaving 37.5 mm on both sides of the shaft. The distance between two leaves in the centre (near the shaft) is 1.5mm and at the outer end should be 24 mm. These rotors are made for one box and a total of 11440 fans are to be made.

2 Nos. of 8 cm ball valve. An open ended square, of side 8cm should be on the^' opposite side of the ball vlve. These also must have a leaf edge of lcm breadth. Height of the valve is 16cm. Dynamo with 6cm length and 4cm diameter and a capacity if IA, 10V and 10W. The armature (Rotor) shaft pointing outwards from the dynamo is 2 cm. and total length of dynamo is 8cm. Shaft should have a diameter of 16mm. At the end of the shaft, drill inside and should be threaded inside the shaft so a to make join with the fan. 4nos. of dynamo are required for one box. A total of 22860 dynamos are required for the plant. A clamp also is there to jointing the dynamo with the box.

A pyramid shaped water tank with a height of 2.5 metre and the broad end is like a square with sides Im and the narrow end which is of square shape and side of 8cm. 100 3types of 67 step up transformers are required. 55 transformers of I type (i.e. while connecting 10V 416 A to the primary pole we get 83.2A 50V); 11 transformers of II type (i.e while connecting 412A 50V to the primary we get 250V 82.5A.); and a transformer of III type (i.e. while connecting 250 V 907.5A to the primary we get 2836V 80A).

105 JOINING OF A BOX

Bearing is to be fixed on the two bearing seats on the half boxes. After that the shaft of the fan is to be fitted tightly, protruding through the bearing hole of a half box. When fitted tight, the threaded portion of the end of the shaft should be protruded outside the bearing seat.

110 Later, the second fan is to be fitted tight on the second bearing hole of . the above half box. Here also the threaded portion of the end of the shaft should be protruded outside the bearing seat . Later join the first half box and the second half box together using the plate rubber washer in the middle and keep tight by using nuts and

115 bolts. Now the 2 shafts are protruding outside the box on both sides.

Then the dynamos are to be fitted tightly on the armature (rotor) shaft protruding outside the shaft. Keep the 4 clamps of the outer side of the dynamo on the 4 clamps of the outer portion of the bearing seat on the box so as to tight them using nut and bolt . Now construction

120 one box is completed. These boxes have a dimension of 175mm height, 220mm breadth, and 95mm width. Now both sides (square column) of this box are open. 5720 nos. of such boxes are to be made. 200 among these are constructed with Air valve (Fig 1). Now place the water reservoir on a place where there is a slope and water

125 goes downwards. Ball valve is to be fitted using nut and bolts below the end of the water reservoir such a way that the water in the water tank comes through the ball valve, close the ball valve to . avoid the flow of water(fig 2). After that connect all the power boxes one by one under the valve up to IKm. Electric power box with air valve is to be

130 connected at every 5 metre. There are 200 such boxes. At last connect the second ball valve and close it(fig 3). Open all the air valves of the power box and now open the first ball valve and let the water flow into the boxes. If the air inside the box is discarded, i.e. if water is flowing through air valve, close the air valve one by one. Now 135 the entire power box filled with water.

CURRENT SUPPLY LINE

22880 dynamos are functioning through the 5720 box (4 dynamo each in a box). Divide these dynamo sets into 55 groups. i.e. 416 dynamo X 55 = 22880 Dynamo 140 There is a set of 67 transformers and divide into 3 type. A combination of 55 transformers into I type , 11 transformers into II type and a transformer of III type.

Join the +ve line of 416 dynamos from 104 boxes and connect it to the +ve line of the primary pole of the first transformer of the I type. 145 Like that -ve line also be connected to that transformer. Thus got 55 groups of 416 dynamos connected to the I type transformers(fig 4).

Next we have to go to II stage. First join all the +ve line of 11 transformers of I type and connect it with the first transformer of the

II type. Like wise connect the -ve line also (fig 5). Thus connect to III 150 type transformer (fig 6). From this III stage transformer we can draw electricity and can connect to supply line for various uses. From this transformer we get 2836 Volt, 8OA current. Fig 7 shows the entire system.

FUNCTIONING OF THE PLANT 155 Open the valve placed at the bottom. Suddenly the water in the boxes starts flowing downwards. By this strength of the flowing water, the fan fixed in the box start to rotate and thus dynamo also start to work.

Due to this strength of flowing water the fan will rotate at 1500RPM. 160 These current supply line are connected to I stage Transformer (i.e. 22

Transformer of 5 series). From these transformers we get 83.2 A 50 V each and from the II stage transformers we get 82.5 A 250 V and from the III stage transformer we get 2836 V 80 A current .

By increasing the number of boxes we can consume more energy from 165 this plant or by using one or more same type of plant in the same place we can take sufficient electricity. To stop the functioning of this system, just close two valve fixed at top and bottom.
