Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a rainmaking device, and more particularly to a mobile hydrogen-oxygen combustion engine rainmaking device. Background Technology

[0002] Water resources are an indispensable part of life. The main water sources are stored in reservoirs after rainfall, with a small portion obtained through seawater desalination or other methods. However, with the increasing demand for water in agriculture, industry, and daily life, the long-term siltation of reservoirs has reduced their water storage capacity. Instable rainfall or high-temperature exhaust gases from industry have also resulted in insufficient rainfall. Therefore, obtaining water resources is not easy, leading to the development of artificial rainmaking.

[0003] Conventional rainmaking methods typically involve sending catalysts (hygroscopic powders such as sodium chloride and silver iodide) into the upper atmosphere using anti-aircraft guns or fireworks. This alters the properties, size, and distribution of clouds, thereby generating water droplets and producing rainfall. However, this method is not only unsustainable, but the smoke produced by the gunpowder also pollutes the environment and affects raindrop formation. Therefore, improving rainmaking processes to reduce environmental pollution is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor has devoted himself to research and applied theoretical principles to address the shortcomings of the prior art, and has made every effort to solve the above-mentioned problems, which is the target of the inventor's improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a mobile hydrogen-oxygen combustion rainmaking device, including a container, two liquid storage tanks, a combustion chamber, and an igniter. The container has an internal storage space and is connected to a gas supply pipe communicating with the storage space. The two liquid storage tanks are arranged in the storage space, and each liquid storage tank is connected to at least one nozzle. One liquid storage tank is filled with liquid hydrogen, and the other liquid storage tank is filled with liquid oxygen. The combustion chamber is arranged in the storage space and has an opening. Each nozzle extends into the combustion chamber, and the igniter is arranged in the combustion chamber. Each nozzle sprays liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen in a mist into the combustion chamber, mixes them, and then ignites them through the igniter, thereby forming high-temperature and high-pressure steam that is discharged from the opening along the gas supply pipe.

[0007] In one embodiment of this application, the combustion chamber extends at the opening to form a rocket nozzle.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the rocket nozzle includes an arc-shaped converging structure and a conical diverging structure.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, two pumps are also included, each pump being configured to correspond to each liquid storage tank, and the two ends of each pump being connected to each liquid storage tank and each nozzle, respectively.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, two control valves are further included, each control valve being disposed between each liquid storage tank and each pump, and used to control the connection or closure between each liquid storage tank and each pump.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, this application also provides a mobile hydrogen-oxygen combustion rainmaking device, including a container, two liquid storage tanks, a combustion chamber, and an igniter. The container has an internal storage space, and the container is connected to a gas supply pipe communicating with the storage space. The two liquid storage tanks are arranged in the storage space, and each liquid storage tank is connected to at least one nozzle. One of the liquid storage tanks is filled with liquid hydrogen, and the other liquid storage tank is filled with liquid oxygen. The combustion chamber is arranged in the storage space, and each nozzle penetrates into the combustion chamber. The igniter is arranged in the combustion chamber, wherein each nozzle sprays liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen in a mist into the combustion chamber, mixes them, and then ignites them through the igniter, thereby forming high-temperature and high-pressure steam that is discharged along the gas supply pipe.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the combustion chamber is connected to the gas supply pipe.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the cross-sectional width of the combustion chamber is greater than the cross-sectional width of the gas supply pipe.

[0039] The detailed description and technical content of this application will be explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0040] This application provides a mobile hydrogen-oxygen combustion engine rainmaking device. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a container 10, two liquid storage tanks 20, a combustion chamber 30, and an igniter 40.

[0041] In this embodiment, a standard container is used for the container 10, but this application is not limited to this. The container 10 can be of any shape and size, and designers can also customize it according to different needs, as long as it can achieve the effect of loading and convenient transportation. Therefore, the shape and size of the container 10 in this application should not be used as a limiting condition. The container 10 has an internal accommodating space 11, and the container 10 is connected to an air supply pipe 12 that communicates with the accommodating space 11. The purpose of using the container 10 is that it has the advantages of being easy to obtain, having a robust structure, and being convenient to transport. Moreover, it can be transported by land (e.g., container trucks or trains), sea (e.g., transport ships), and air (e.g., helicopters or transport aircraft), thereby improving the mobility and applicability of the mobile hydrogen-oxygen combustion rainmaking device of this application.

[0042] Two liquid storage cylinders 20 are disposed in the accommodating space 11, and each liquid storage cylinder 20 is connected to at least one nozzle 21. In this embodiment, each liquid storage cylinder 20 has one nozzle 21, but this application is not limited to this. For example, each liquid storage cylinder 20 may also be connected to two or more nozzles 21 (including the number itself), and the designer can adjust it according to different needs. One liquid storage cylinder 20 is filled with liquid hydrogen A, and the other liquid storage cylinder 20 is filled with liquid oxygen B. In this way, compared with gaseous hydrogen and oxygen, each liquid storage cylinder 20 can be filled with more liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B, and liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B are safer than hydrogen and oxygen. However, the use of liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B is only a preferred embodiment. In the implementation of this application, high-pressure hydrogen and high-pressure oxygen can also be used. This application is not limited to liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B.

[0043] In this embodiment, the combustion chamber 30 is disposed within the accommodating space 11 and located between the two liquid storage tanks 20. The combustion chamber 30 has an opening 31 at its top, and each nozzle 21 penetrates into the combustion chamber 30 to spray liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B from each liquid storage tank 20 into the combustion chamber 30 in a mist form. An igniter 40 is disposed inside the combustion chamber 30; in this embodiment, the igniter 40 is located at the bottom of the combustion chamber 30.

[0044] Preferably, the mobile hydrogen-oxygen combustor rainmaking device of this application further includes two pumps 50 and two control valves 60. The number of pumps 50 and control valves 60 corresponds to the number of liquid storage tanks 20, so the designer can adjust the number according to different needs; this application does not impose any limitation on this. Each pump 50 is connected at both ends to the liquid storage tank 20 and the nozzle 21, respectively. Each control valve 60 is disposed between the liquid storage tank 20 and the pump 50, and is used to control the connection or closure between the liquid storage tank 20 and the pump 50. In this way, each pump 50 can effectively extract liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B from each liquid storage tank 20 and then spray them into the combustion chamber 30 through each nozzle 21.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating the usage state of this application. The main purpose of this application is to use a transportation vehicle (such as a container truck, train, transport ship, helicopter, or transport aircraft) to transport the container 10 to a location at a suitable altitude (such as a typical mountainous area). Liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B are then sprayed in a mist form into the combustion chamber 30 through nozzles 21, mixed, and then ignited by an igniter 40. This generates high-temperature, high-pressure steam C, which enters the rocket nozzle 32 through the opening 31 and exits the combustion chamber 30. The steam is then sprayed upwards along the gas delivery pipe 12 towards the cloud layer, where it condenses into larger droplets due to the low-temperature water vapor in the cloud, thus producing rainfall.

[0046] To further explain, a rocket nozzle 32 extends from the top of the combustion chamber 30 at the periphery of the opening 31. The rocket nozzle 32 is composed of an arc-shaped converging structure 321 and a conical diverging structure 322 connecting the arc-shaped converging structure 321. Specifically, the arc-shaped converging structure 321 curves and extends from the periphery of the opening 31 in an arch shape, while the conical diverging structure 322 gradually expands and extends from the arc-shaped converging structure 321 toward the gas delivery pipe 12 in a funnel shape. The surfaces of both the arc-shaped converging structure 321 and the conical diverging structure 322 are smoothly formed, thereby accelerating the high-temperature and high-pressure steam C generated by combustion in the combustion chamber 30 to near supersonic speed through the arc-shaped converging structure 321 of the rocket nozzle 32, and then being guided by the conical diverging structure 322 to be ejected at high speed toward the gas delivery pipe 12, and then rapidly ejected upward along the gas delivery pipe 12 to the location of the cloud.

[0047] Specifically, this application employs the same technical principle as hydrogen-oxygen rockets. Hydrogen-oxygen rockets discharge high-temperature, high-pressure steam C produced by the combustion of a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen downwards to provide thrust for the rocket's ascent. This application, however, discharges the high-temperature, high-pressure steam C produced by the combustion of a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen directly upwards into the atmosphere, and uses the structure of the rocket nozzle 32 to concentrate and accelerate it, enabling it to be rapidly ejected into cumulonimbus clouds in the air. There, it interacts with the low-temperature water vapor in the cumulonimbus cloud layer to achieve a rainmaking effect.

[0048] For example, based on the knowledge level of those skilled in the art, the lower layers of typical cumulonimbus clouds are mostly located at an altitude of 400 to 1000 meters. The mobile hydrogen-oxygen combustion rainmaking device of this application can be transported to a suitable altitude (such as a typical mountainous area with an altitude of approximately 300 to 500 meters) using the aforementioned means of transport, thus reducing the altitude difference between the cumulonimbus cloud and the rainmaking device to approximately 100 to 500 meters. Therefore, since the thrust generated by the high-temperature, high-pressure steam C after the hydrogen-oxygen mixture combustion of this application is far greater than the thrust of gunpowder from fireworks or anti-aircraft guns in conventional rainmaking techniques, and the high-temperature, high-pressure steam C is further accelerated to near supersonic speed by the concentrated force of the rocket nozzle 32, and the altitude difference between the cumulonimbus cloud and the rainmaking device is only about 100 to 500 meters, the high-temperature, high-pressure steam C generated after combustion can be easily and quickly ejected to the location of the high-altitude cumulonimbus cloud or even higher.

[0049] Furthermore, the mobile hydrogen-oxygen combustion rainmaking device of this application, through each liquid storage tank 20, can continuously supply liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B for long-term mixing and combustion. Therefore, even if the initially ejected high-temperature and high-pressure steam C is slightly cooled and depressurized upon contact with cold air during its ascent, the subsequently ejected high-temperature and high-pressure steam C can still continuously push the previous high-temperature and high-pressure steam C upwards to high altitudes, just like volcanic ash from a volcanic eruption, sustaining kinetic and thermal energy and ejecting it to altitudes of several thousand meters. Moreover, the cooling and depressurization effect of the cold air during ascent is limited to the periphery of the high-temperature and high-pressure steam C and cannot reach its interior. Therefore, the interior of the high-temperature and high-pressure steam C still carries a large amount of kinetic energy, which can be continuously ejected upwards to the location of high-altitude cumulonimbus clouds or even higher, thereby stimulating more cloud layers and areas to form rainfall.

[0050] Therefore, when high-temperature, high-pressure steam C rapidly reaches the cloud layer in the upper atmosphere, it is rapidly cooled by the low-temperature water vapor in the cloud, causing it to condense with small water droplets or dust particles in the cloud into larger water droplets, thus forming rainfall. These large water droplets not only attract surrounding water vapor to increase their volume and weight, causing them to collide and create a chain reaction that forms regional rainfall, but they also release latent heat during condensation. This heat, combined with the high-temperature, high-pressure steam C, raises the temperature of the low-temperature water vapor in the cloud, creating updrafts. These updrafts then lift and cool the surrounding water vapor, causing it to condense further. Thus, after reaching the bottom layer of a cumulonimbus cloud, the continuous upward ejection and pushing of steam, along with the updrafts within the cloud, effectively distributes the high-temperature, high-pressure steam C throughout the entire cloud layer, further increasing the rainfall in the area and achieving the best rainmaking effect.

[0051] Please see Figure 3As shown, this is another embodiment of the present application, the main difference being that the combustion chamber 30 is directly connected to the gas supply pipe 12. Furthermore, the cross-sectional width s1 of the combustion chamber 30 is greater than the cross-sectional width s2 of the gas supply pipe 12, allowing the high-temperature, high-pressure steam C generated by combustion to be forced from the larger combustion chamber 30 into the smaller gas supply pipe 12, achieving an acceleration effect similar to that of a rocket nozzle 32. This allows the high-temperature, high-pressure steam C to be rapidly ejected upwards along the guidance of the gas supply pipe 12 to the location of clouds in the high atmosphere.

[0052] In summary, this application possesses industrial applicability, novelty, and inventiveness, fully meeting the requirements for a patent application, and is therefore filed in accordance with the Patent Law. Of course, this application may have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and substance of this application, those skilled in the art can devise various corresponding changes and modifications based on this application, but all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the patent application filed hereto.
