Self-supported power generation device

Abstract

A self-supported power generation device is installed in a high building having multiple floors to realize self-supported power supply of low power and simplified arrangement. Water reservoir is arranged in a floor-spaced manner by tanks set in different floors. Each tank has a conic converged lower section forming a discharge opening coupled to a power generator unit that is driven by vanes to generate electrical power. Thus, by the water head supplied from each tank to drive the vanes for rotating the power generator unit, and with a vertical stacked manner of the multiple sets of power generator units and tanks, a multi-floor water-weight-driven power generation assembly is established. A water collection reservoir is provided at the bottommost location to collect the water for cyclic use. Thus, self-supported power generation for self-supported supply of power of a building is realized and environmental protection and healthy concerns are also satisfied.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001](a) Technical Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a simplified self-supported power generation device, and in particular to a simplified power generation device that bases on difference of altitude among different floors in a high building to generate water flows from tanks caused by gravity to drive vanes for rotation in order to effect power generation and supply of the power so generated, together with a vertically-stacked multi-set arrangement to realize continuous power generation, wherein the power so generated are collected and properly distributed for public use of the building to ensure safety, convenient, and environment-conservative supplement of electrical power.[0003](b) Description of the Prior Art[0004]Electrical power has been commonly and widely used all over the world to power all kinds of electrical appliances. Due to the increased consumption of electrical power, the supply of electrical power is getting s...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple and self-supported power generation device that uses the altitude difference among floors of a building to speed up water flows and uses the increased speed of the water flows to drive high speed rotation of vanes of a power generator so as to simultaneously realize high speed rotation and low power generation of electrical power of multiple sets of power generators and to provide continuous power generation through vertical stacked arrangement of the multiple sets of electrical power generators so as to establish a practical and simple self-supported power generation device.

[0007]In view of the drawbacks of the conventional gasoline / diesel engine based power generation system, including high expense of fuel and inconvenience to move and install, the present invention provide a self-supported power generation device, which is operated on the basis of altitude difference among different floors of a building to generate a water flow of which the speed is increased by a conic converged opening to provide speed-increased transmission to drive a power generator unit whereby simple operation of power generation can be realized by simply using potential induced by altitude difference and without consuming additional external energy so that the drawbacks of inconvenience of installation and high cost of operation of the conventional private power generation systems are overcome.

Problems solved by technology

Due to the increased consumption of electrical power, the supply of electrical power is getting short around the world.

Such systems are expensive and the maintaining and operation costs are also very high due to the high costs of gasoline and diesel.

In addition, these private power generation systems are only put into operation in case of emergencies to temporarily supply power to the fire-fighting and public utility systems.

Apparently, such systems are not actually practical.

This is troublesome to the residents of the building and may cause building safety problems.

For the currently available gasoline or diesel engines, the purchasing and installation costs are both very expensive.

The gasoline or diesel engine based power generation systems are bulky in size and heavy in weight.

Moving and assembling of these systems is very troublesome.

Also, these systems require maintenance provided by professional technicians and this is certainly very inconvenient to the building residents.

Thus, in respect of environment protection and the limited need of supply of power to public utility facility for regular operation, the conventional gasoline or diesel engine based power generation systems are certainly impractical in all respects and particularly in economic respect.
