Description

ALTERNATOR WITHOUT THE NEED FOR FOSSIL FUEL CONSUMPTION

The present invention is related to an electric generator or induction power generator

Induction power generators such as alternators in cars and various types of home and industrial generators

The aim is to create an environmentally friendly optimized system for eliminating fossil fuels to produce induction electricity.

In this alternator, the fuel system has been removed.in fact, the system is an induction power generator that utilizes a new and modified component and separated from the system, namely a 200-blade commutator ( ), and like the existing generators and alternators uses voltage regulator, engine speed regulator, coils, battery charger and battery, which is the main source of energy, plus a small electric motor.

A notable feature of this system is the presence of a 200-blade commutator with a light weight and a large number of blades, which allows a low-speed gearbox electric motor with minimal battery current consumption to easily rotate the commutator shaft and convert battery direct current into a frequency of 50 Hz without the need for an engine consuming fossil fuel.

The rotor in induction power generators has a limited number of poles and also has a heavy weight. For this reason, rotors in generators rotate with a strong driving force and require an engine and a high initial fuel consumption such as gasoline and other fossil fuels to reach high speeds, continuously causing environmental pollution.

These generators need to rotate at very high speeds to reach a frequency of 50 or 60 Hertz (for example, for a 50 Hz power output in a 4-pole machine, the rotor must rotate at a speed of 1500 rpm (N = 120F / P)). Also, the presence of many moving parts makes them complex, creates increased noise, and makes their construction, maintenance, and repair expensive and difficult.

The solution presented in this system is the presence of a commutator with many blades and the removal of the fuel engine. The induction coils in the rotor and the stator are properly replaced by a suitable booster transformer, and the commutator is separated from the system and converted into a large commutator consisting of many blades (200 blades in this system), which is around a pair of brushes. These blades are located in the inner wall of a cylindrical body that is electrically insulated, spaced apart with one in between (+-+-+-and...). Since 50 blades are located in each quarter of the circle or cylinder, when the commutator shaft rotates at 1/4 revolutions per second, it changes current direction 50 times. Depending on the required power, the number of blades can be more or less than this limit. In practice, instead of heavy and bulky magnetic poles, positive and negative pairs of blades are placed, which occupy very little space and are stationary, and the carbon brushes and their holders, along with the slip rings attached to the shaft, change the current direction with their rotation. They have very light weight and therefore require very little force to rotate. If the number of blades increases, the commutator can reach the desired frequency in less time, but it must be larger in size. The main source of energy in this system is the battery. Battery supplies power to 12-volt electric motor to rotate the commutator shaft and also the inducing coils. The commutator converts direct current into alternating current. A speed regulator adjusts electric gearbox motor and commutator shaft speed and therefore regulates the electrical frequency.

The generated alternating current is supplied to the booster transformer with a frequency of 50 Hertz. At the output of the transformer, there is also a voltage regulator so that the stabilized electrical voltage is used by the consumer and the charger for recharge of the battery. This cycle continues until the battery supplies power to this system. In fact, instead of a rotating magnetic field, a variable induction field is generated.

The most important aspect of this new system is the elimination of fossil fuels and the elimination of pollution caused by them, contributing to the environment and also helping to conserve and store non-renewable resources. In this system, the need for high speed and power to change the magnetic field in generating induction voltage and thus the need for consumption of polluting fuels has been intelligently eliminated. Since in this invention, the stored energy in the rechargeable battery is used to generate induction power and recharge it, it can be a good alternative to alternators and power generators that use polluting fuels for this purpose. Also, in this system, due to the removal of the fuel engine, its noise level has been reduced, fewer mechanical parts are required to operate it, and the system design becomes simpler and more cost-effective. Additionally, by combining this system with one of the renewable sources such as solar, wind, or water energy, etc. the efficiency of this system can be further optimized.

illustrates the complete and assembled commutator, positioned vertically, with the input terminals for direct current (22) and the output terminals for alternating current (29) clearly marked.

In , an exploded perspective view demonstrates the components comprising the commutator and their arrangement.This commutator assembly comprises two sections: a fixed section ( ) and a movable or rotor section ( ). The front (9) and rear (10) bodies and the main or middle body (11), which is cylindrical in shape, form the fixed section. The shaft (12), which holds the front (13) and rear (14) ball bearings, slip rings (15), carbon brushes (17), and brush holders (18), as well as the pulley or coupling (19), form the movable or rotor section as shown in . An insulating washer between the slip rings (16) in prevents short-circuiting.

In , the copper blades of the commutator (20) are placed inside the inner wall of the main cylindrical body, with one blade in between and spaced apart (21). In total, one hundred of these blades carry negative current, while the other one hundred carry positive current, arranged in parallel to each other. The positive blade ends are connected to the positive terminal, and the negative blade ends are connected to the negative terminal, which are located on the outer wall of the main body (22). The body is made of electrical insulator. Behind each carbon brush and inside the brush holder, a spring is placed to push the brushes forward towards the blades and slip rings.The front and rear bodies include sections for housing the front and rear ball bearings (23), the slip ring housing (24), as well as the carbon brush housing (25) and carbon brushes (26) that receive current from the slip rings and transmit it to the transformer, as depicted in .

illustrates how the bearings and slip rings are properly positioned in the rear body to ensure that the brushes (26) make contact with the slip ring (15). In the stationary state, the brushes in the movable section (17) are positioned, one on the positive current-carrying blade (27) and the other at an angle of 180 degrees to it on the negative current-carrying blade (28). Since the positive and negative blades are placed alternatively, with the start of movement, the positions of the brushes change, and thus, the direction of the current changes.

shows the arrangement of carbon brushes in the movable section (17) on the blades of the middle body (27 and 28).At the gap between the blades where there is empty space (21), the current is interrupted once, and ultimately, the alternating current reaches the current-receiving brushes (26) through the sliding rings (15). The end of the shaft is connected to a gearbox motor shaft by a coupling or can be driven by a pulley or gear to an electric motor. If the commutator shaft rotates at 15 revolutions per minute, it will only rotate at 0.25 revolutions per second, and considering the presence of 200 blades, in each 0.25 of the circle circumference, there are 50 blades in the middle body, so the commutator can change direction 50 times with just 0.25 revolutions per second and provide the desired frequency of 50 Hz for use by the booster transformer.

This idea is a great innovation in the field of electricity generation without environmental pollution and can effectively replace household and industrial power generators and alternators in automobiles, ships, locomotives, and anywhere electricity is needed. In vehicles that run on polluting and non-renewable fuels such as gasoline and diesel, this system can reduce fuel consumption. In all-electric vehicles, which usually face problems with recharge ability, heavy and expensive batteries, and the risks of explosion and ignition, using this system and its new method can produce more efficient, cost-effective, and safer electric vehicles.

The energy required in hybrid and electric vehicles, Bitcoin mining, greenhouses, snow melting systems in cold regions in winter, spacecrafts, electrolysis of water and hydrogen production, heating and cooling systems, and many other applications requires cheap, easy, optimal, available, clean and environmentally friendly induced voltage, which this system provides.

Claims

According to claim 1, in this system, the 200-blade commutator is designed to provide electricity at a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz with low rotational speed and without the need for high torque by a small electric motor, due to its low weight and high number of blades. Due to its low weight, it does not require a fuel engine or fossil fuel consumption.This commutator can be made of any non-conductive and electrically insulating lightweight material such as wood and various polymers and plastics like Plexiglas, with a very small diameter. Additionally, besides an electric motor, it can be operated with any other miniature motor, even internal combustion engines or Sterling engine with the power of a candle, as well as small turbines. The commutator can be cylindrical or circular in shape and made with any even number of blades, and the motor and gearbox driving it are built according to the capacity of the commutator and the desired frequency. The more blades there are, the less the need for a motor with lower speed and a commutator with larger dimensions, and vice versa.
