Electro-water reactor steam powered electric generator system

Abstract

An electro-water reactor steam powered electric generator system includes a steam boiler having water and steam chambers, a water intake pipe and a plurality of steam delivery pipes. An electric resistance heater is mounted under and around the boiler having power leads connected to an auxiliary power source. A plurality of independent steam turbines and connected electric generators are joined respectively to the steam delivery pipes. Most of the electric power delivery leads of the generators are adapted to deliver electric power for industrial and residential usage. At least one of the generator power leads is connected to the electric resistance heater elements. A steam return pipe connects each turbine with a condenser which includes a heat exchanger connected to the water intake pipe. Electric pumps and piping circulate water between the condenser and a body of water. An auxiliary electrical power source is connected to the heater elements.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to conventional power plants for the production of steam from a boiler and attendant electrical energy for the operation of turbines and connected electric generators. More specifically, the present invention discloses a multi-steam boiler and electric generator configuration by which a plurality of looped electrical resistance elements are arranged in contact with a steam boiler and by which a portion of the generated electrical power is utilized in heating the electrical resistance elements in the boiler. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] In conventional power plants the use of fossil fuels is not only at present costly and ever increasing in price, particularly the oil sources, but the exhausting of the products of combustion into the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and produces a high degree of exhaust pollution. This requires sophisticated and costly ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0013] A further object of the present invention is to provide an electric resistance energized heating source for a steam boiler and wherein environmental benefits are contemplated in eliminating pollution from fossil fuels and in the elimination of nuclear power and the suspected hazards involved in its use.

Problems solved by technology

In conventional power plants the use of fossil fuels is not only at present costly and ever increasing in price, particularly the oil sources, but the exhausting of the products of combustion into the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and produces a high degree of exhaust pollution.

This requires sophisticated and costly equipment for controlling and minimizing such pollution.

Here there is further danger to the environment and possibilities of pollution and other hazards which have been considered and which are objected to by many people.

The problem of disposal of nuclear power wastes and the problems of leakage or accidents is ever present with nuclear powered plants.
