Background Art

[0002] Wind power is a clean energy source, but the wind on the ground is not stable and has always accounted for a small proportion of power facilities.

[0003] In the atmosphere, the air flow in the stratosphere is mainly horizontal, which forms an air flow difference with the significant convection activity in the troposphere. The wind speed in the stratosphere, especially in certain specific areas such as the jet stream, can reach hundreds of kilometers per hour.

[0004] At present, humans still use multi-stage rockets to launch into space, and each round trip consumes a huge amount of energy. For this reason, people have conceived of space elevators. Conventional space elevators are vertical elevators that connect space and the ground, built with future high-performance materials, and require huge amounts of materials.

[0005] To this end, the inventors have designed and proposed a method for operating a flying object by utilizing the wind speed difference between the stratosphere and the troposphere, and the application of this method in wind power generation and space elevators.

[0010] Preferably, after the flying object is successfully set up, no additional power is required, and the speed difference between the stratosphere and the troposphere is used to achieve long-term suspended flight.

[0016] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials and equipment used can be purchased from the market or are commonly used in the art. The methods in the embodiments are conventional methods in the art unless otherwise specified. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0017] Method for operating flying objects by utilizing the wind speed difference between the stratosphere and the troposphere: A stratospheric parachute 2 is released in the stratosphere, and a tropospheric parachute 1 is released in the troposphere. The stratospheric parachute 2 and the tropospheric parachute 1 are connected by a rope. The stratospheric parachute 2 forms a moderate acute angle of attack with the stratospheric wind direction. The stratospheric wind forms a backward and upward force on the stratospheric parachute 2, and the stratospheric parachute 2 rises in the stratosphere by the thrust of the wind; the tropospheric parachute 1 pulls the stratospheric parachute 2 in the horizontal direction by the geosynchronous rotation force; the rope has a hoisting mechanism 3 4 for adjusting the length of the rope and the flight state of the system; a plurality of branch ropes 1 are provided at the end of the stratospheric parachute 2 to connect the stratospheric parachute 2, and the branch ropes 1 are provided with a hoisting mechanism 1 6 to adjust the angle of attack of the stratospheric parachute 2 by retracting and releasing each branch rope 1; a plurality of branch ropes 2 are provided at the end of the tropospheric parachute 1 to connect the stratospheric parachute 2, and the branch ropes 2 are provided with a hoisting mechanism 2 7 to adjust the angle of attack of the tropospheric parachute 1 by retracting and releasing each branch rope 2.

[0018] In some other embodiments, the stratospheric umbrella 2 is provided with a plurality of air ducts with adjustable ventilation volume, and the lift obtained by the stratospheric umbrella 2 is adjusted by adjusting the ventilation volume of the air ducts through valves.

[0019] In some other embodiments, the stratospheric umbrella 2 and the tropospheric umbrella 1 are both set above the equator, the stratospheric umbrella 2 can be placed higher, and the system operation is more stable.

[0020] Wind power generation is performed by utilizing the wind speed difference between the stratosphere and the troposphere to operate the flying object. A wind turbine generator set 9 is arranged on the stratospheric parachute 2 and / or the tropospheric parachute 1 to generate electricity using wind power. The electricity can maintain the operation of the system itself and be stored and transmitted to the outside.

[0021] A space elevator is made by utilizing the wind speed difference between the stratosphere and the troposphere to move a flying object. The rope at one end of a tropospheric parachute 1 is connected to a suspension rope 5, which is connected to the ground end. The suspension rope 5 communicates space and the ground. The suspension rope 5 is provided with a rope climbing lifting device 8 for carrying transported items.

[0022] Two ideas for flying are provided for reference only: The stratospheric parachute 2 and the tropospheric parachute 1 can be released by the aircraft, and the aircraft flies from east to west. At the bottom of the stratosphere, the tropospheric parachute 1 begins to be released, the aircraft slows down, and waits for the tropospheric parachute 1 to fall into the troposphere. The aircraft begins to climb, and at the same time, the rope is released to keep the tropospheric parachute 1 in the troposphere. The aircraft climbs to a certain height, turns back in a U-shape and flies from west to east, releases the stratospheric parachute 2, waits for the stratospheric parachute 2 to be fully deployed, and releases and separates. At the same time, the winch mechanisms 3 and 4 on the stratospheric parachute 2 and the tropospheric parachute 1 are quickly tightened, and a kite-flying posture is formed between the stratospheric parachute 2 and the tropospheric parachute 1, and the deployment is completed.

[0023] The balloon launching mode is simple and easy to operate, but the parachute released is relatively small. You can climb the rope and replace it with a thicker rope and a larger parachute later. The assembly can be completed after several times. The principle is similar to the process of laying steel cables for a suspension bridge. After replacing the ropes many times, it can be assembled into a flying parachute weighing thousands of tons or even tens of thousands of tons, and can even be used as a rocket launching platform.

[0024] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
