Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the application of principles of fluid mechanics and rotary power technology. [Background technology]
[0002] Fluid (gas, liquid) action application technology
[0003] Rotary power technology (drills, excavators, mixers, clothes dryers, etc.) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] (Task 1) The propulsion power of ships and other water transportation vehicles is mainly provided by screws, but these can sometimes break down when the screw impeller hits a reef or gets caught up in seaweed while sailing. In addition, the propulsion function (fluid transfer efficiency) was low, limiting the sailing speed. For these reasons, there was a need to improve the causes of propulsion system failure and increase sailing speed. (Task 2) Traditionally, in battles between ships (including submarines) at sea, the enemy was sunk using cruise missiles, torpedoes, bombing attacks by aircraft, etc. However, since the enemy could move, had defensive measures such as interceptor missiles, and also had offensive measures, there was a possibility that the enemy would be sunk first. Therefore, a more efficient method of combat was required. (Assignment 3) In the past, when a foreign ship illegally entered territorial waters or when dealing with illegal pirate ships on the high seas, the response would be to stop the opposing ship, bring our ship alongside and board it for inspection, or to surround it with multiple ships and drive it away.However, if the opposing ship does not comply with orders to cease fire, inspection, or retreat outside territorial waters, it is difficult to crack down on the situation, and a more efficient method was needed. (Assignment 4) Tsunamis caused by earthquakes with epicenters on the seabed can cause great damage. Previous methods of mitigating tsunami disasters have included building levees (breakwaters and seawalls) and issuing warnings to urge people to evacuate. Tsunami energy could not be artificially suppressed. Furthermore, even if high waves occurred while a ship was sailing, the only way to deal with the situation was to maneuver the ship, and it was not possible to avoid damage by artificially suppressing the high waves. (Assignment 5) There are industrial products (devices, equipment) that utilize the properties of fluids (gases, liquids) for various work purposes. Fluids have a variety of uses, including compressing, sucking, discharging, moving, and stirring, and fluid control technology is used in each device and equipment, but more efficient methods and technologies are needed. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] (Solution 1) The overall shape is conical with a hollow interior. The components attached to the hollow interior rotate at high speed using electrical power or other means, causing the fluid in the operating environment (gas when used in the atmosphere, liquid when used underwater) to be sucked in from the large-diameter side of the conical outer frame and expelled from the small-diameter side. The problem is solved by using the fluid action (the force with which the fluid discharged at high speed pushes against the surrounding fluid) when the fluid is sucked into this conical outer frame and passes through the inside, then discharged at high speed, as propulsion. The member attached to the inside of the conical outer frame is attached near the small diameter opening from which the fluid is discharged, but the type is not limited as long as it has the function of promoting fluid movement (suction and discharge). (Solution 2) The device described in Solution 1 is used underwater with the large diameter side of the conical outer frame facing upward and the small diameter side facing downward. When the device is operated, a high-speed water current is discharged toward the bottom of the water, and a huge vortex is created toward the surface of the water, several tens of times larger in diameter than the device's large aperture. These vortices can cause ships on the water to tilt sharply, causing them to sink, or they can create vortices in the direction of or around the ship's movement, stopping it from moving forward. By using it in this way, the problem is solved by using the device not for propulsion power purposes but to create huge whirlpools on the water surface. (Solution 3) The device described in Solution 1 is used underwater with the large diameter side of the conical outer frame facing downward and the small diameter side facing upward. When the device is operated, a large amount of water is sucked in from the bottom of the water, and a high-speed water flow is discharged (released) upwards towards the surface of the water. This high-speed water current can be used to stop the movement of a ship on the water by hitting it against the hull. By using it in this way, the problem is solved by using the device not for propulsion power purposes, but to release a high-speed water current from the water surface into the sky. (Solution 4) The method of use described in Solution 2 can create a huge whirlpool on the water surface. These vortices will not be used for maritime defense or maritime security operations, but for disaster prevention operations against natural disasters. In the event of a tsunami, a large number of these devices will be deployed in certain areas offshore from the coastline where a tsunami may reach, and will be activated all at once. This causes numerous giant vortices to form on the water surface in the area. These then connect to each other, lowering the water level in the area. Even if a tsunami hits an area with such water surface conditions, the lowering of the water level will dissipate the tsunami's energy, thereby reducing the damage caused by the disaster. (Solution 5) The device described in Solution 1 is not used as a propulsion force for transportation or the like, but is used as a fluid control technology for industrial products (devices, equipment) that are suited to various fluid applications. The fluid control technology of this conical device efficiently utilizes the physical action of fluids and can be applied to various purposes such as compressing, suctioning, discharging, moving, and stirring fluids, thereby solving problems. (Solution 6) The methods described in Solution 1, Solution 2, Solution 3, Solution 4, and Solution 5 use electricity to drive the device. To improve this power, a physical effect called plasmon resonance is used. Plasmon resonance occurs when light is irradiated onto a nano-sized particle, and light of a specific wavelength contained in the light is not reflected but is absorbed within the particle, causing resonance. This is a physical process in which electrons within particles resonate with the wave motion of light, generating electrons with great energy called hot electrons. By generating this physical effect known as plasmon resonance within a power generating device or an amplifier, electrical energy is amplified, improving power generation efficiency and power output, thereby contributing to solving the problem.
Claims
1. The overall shape of the outer frame is conical like a megaphone, with a hollow interior. The components attached to the inside of the hollow rotate at high speed using electrical or other power, allowing fluid to be sucked in through the large-diameter side of the cone, which serves as the entrance, and expelled from the small-diameter side of the cone, which serves as the exit. The component attached to the inside and rotating at high speed has a central shaft with multiple impellers lined up on the shaft and rotating simultaneously in the same direction. The center is hollow and the inner wall has a spiral step that tapers from the inlet (large diameter side) to the outlet (small diameter side). There are various types of rotation, such as a type in which the entire inner wall rotates, or a type in which multiple long, thin drill-shaped rods are installed and rotate in the same direction at the same time, but the type is not limited thereto. With this mechanism, fluid is drawn in through the large diameter inlet and expelled at high speed through the small diameter outlet. This method utilizes the action of the fluid passing through the device and being discharged at high speed from the device as a driving force for various transportation means. This is a method of using the fluid action generated when fluid outside the device is sucked into the device and then discharged out of the device at high speed to provide the propulsion force for air transport and land transport when used in the atmosphere, and for water transport when used underwater, thereby providing the propulsion force for various types of transport, and using electrical power to ensure output equivalent to that of an internal combustion engine.
2. In the method according to claim 1, the fluid action generated by the conical device can be used as a method of control of the vessel, rather than as a propulsive force. The device is used underwater with the larger diameter side of the cone facing the water surface (upper side) and the smaller diameter side facing the bottom (lower side). When the device is operated in this orientation, a high-speed current of water is discharged toward the bottom of the water. Then, a huge vortex is created in the water surface direction, with a diameter several tens of times that of the suction port of the device. This vortex is used in naval battles to tilt the hull of a target ship sharply to sink it, or to create a vortex in the direction of a ship's movement to stop it from moving forward, a method used in anti-shipping attacks (defensive actions at sea). It is also used to deal with foreign ships illegally entering territorial waters or pirate ships on the high seas. In such cases, the target ship may not comply with an order to stop or be inspected, so this method generates vortex currents in three directions (front, rear, left, and right) around the target ship to stop its progress, and then allows the ship to approach and board (maritime security operations).
3. The device according to claim 2 is used for the purpose and use (defense operations and security operations at sea) according to claim 2, but the orientation of the device is reversed. The large diameter side of the cone faces the bottom of the water (downward) and the small diameter side faces the water surface (upward). When the device is operated in this orientation, a large amount of water is sucked in from the bottom of the water. Then, a high-speed water flow is discharged (released) toward the sky in the direction of the water surface. This method uses this high-speed water current to tilt and sink a target ship on the water, or to stop the ship's progress, in anti-ship attacks (defense and security actions at sea).
4. By using the device described in claim 2, it is possible to generate huge whirlpools on the water surface, but this method uses the generated vortexes not for maritime defense operations or maritime security operations, but for disaster prevention operations against natural disasters (tsunamis). Tsunamis can be generated by earthquakes with their epicenters on the seafloor, and many of these devices will be deployed in certain areas offshore from coastlines where tsunamis are likely to reach. When they all operate at once, many huge vortices are generated on the water surface in the area where the devices are located, and these vortices connect with each other, causing the water level in the area to drop significantly. Even if a tsunami hits an area with such water surface conditions, the energy of the tsunami will be dissipated due to the effect of lowering the water level. In addition to tsunamis, damage can also be avoided by forcibly lowering the water level in a certain area in cases such as high tides caused by typhoons or high waves occurring while a ship is sailing. This method can be used in disaster prevention actions against natural disasters such as tsunamis, storm surges, and high waves.
5. A propulsion power unit using the method according to claim 1, defense equipment and maritime security equipment using the methods according to claims 2 and 3, and disaster prevention equipment using the method according to claim 4.
6. A service or business using the various devices and equipment described in claim 5.
