Benefits of technology

The system provides cost-effective and efficient water aeration without the need for external power sources, allowing for autonomous operation and easy deployment in various water bodies, enhancing the treatment of organic pollutants and reducing energy costs.

Problems solved by technology

However, a storage battery may be provided to supply power when solar or wind power is not available.
While the buoyancy of the system would not likely change to any great extent during operation, in some cases the buoyancy could change if the float is damaged in some manner.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]The water aeration system using a renewable energy source is a self-contained system that may be deployed in virtually any body of water to provide automatic aeration of at least the upper stratum of the water. FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings provide views showing details of a first embodiment of the aeration system 10. FIG. 3 illustrates a second embodiment of the aeration system 110. The two embodiments differ only in the means used to obtain the renewable energy used to power each device. FIG. 4 is an illustration showing the deployment of a series of such aeration systems 10, 110 in a relatively large body of water.

[0018]The aeration system 10, 110 includes an aerator frame 12 having an upper portion 14 and an opposite lower portion 16. The frame 12 may be a relatively simple and lightweight structure, comprising a pair of mutually orthogonal upper crossmembers having a vertical arm depending from the ends of each of the crossmembers. The lower portions and ends of the arms ...

Abstract

The water aeration system using a renewable energy source is a self-contained unit having a float and a perforated diffuser plate positioned below the float. An electrically powered air pump is installed atop the structure, and a device for collecting renewable energy also extends above the structure. The renewable energy collection device may be one or more solar panels or a wind generator or wind turbine. The pump draws ambient air in through an inlet and pumps the air down through a supply tube to escape from a nozzle below the diffuser plate. The air then bubbles up through the water, the bubbles being broken up by the small perforations of the diffuser plate to provide efficient aeration of the water. An electrical storage battery and auxiliary power receptacle may be provided to power the pump motor during periods when solar or wind power is not available.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This is a continuation of my prior application Ser. No. 13 / 585,230, filed Aug. 14, 2012, now pending, which is a continuation application Ser. No. 13 / 354,184, filed Jan. 19, 2012 now pending.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to water treatment systems, and particularly to a water aeration system using a renewable energy source as the power source for an aeration pump.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]The contamination of various bodies of water by various means is an increasingly serious problem worldwide. Perhaps the most widespread contaminants are organic materials that enter the water system due to pollution from human habitation, either directly or indirectly, e.g., pollution from farms and the like. Such pollution can affect inland fresh water supplies (lakes and rivers), and can also be carried to the sea by inland rivers and waterways or by direct dis...
