Description

Technical Field

[0001] A mixture of carbon dioxide and water in a 1:1 molecular ratio is used as an expander. Utilizing waste heat, solar energy, or other thermal energy, the mixture in a right-angled container with pistons installed on both sides and levers with teeth connected to form a quadrilateral is heated in a rotating cycle, causing the mixture to expand and push the pistons to generate continuous power. It is a new energy-saving and power-saving product that effectively utilizes thermal energy. Background Art

[0002] The core technology of converting thermal energy into kinetic energy is to utilize the expansion of carbon dioxide to generate power, which is continuously taken over and utilized. According to practice, at room temperature, water can absorb a volume of carbon dioxide slightly more than its own volume. The lower the water temperature, the more carbon dioxide molecules it can absorb. Water is a liquid that can deform freely and conduct heat. Carbon dioxide is a gas that can dissolve in water and has an expanding function. When heated, it will expand rapidly. When the mixture is heated, the carbon dioxide expands and puffs up the water molecules. Under the action of heat, the mixture expands uniformly and rapidly, pushing the piston. The piston is connected to a lever with teeth to generate power. Since the critical temperature of carbon dioxide is lower than that of water and it has an expanding function, when the mixture is pressurized, it will cool down rapidly. According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, without applying too much pressure, the mixture will return to its initial state, and without raising the temperature too high, the mixture will expand rapidly. By rotating and cycling to heat the mixture in four right-angled containers with pistons installed at both ends and levers with teeth connected to form a quadrilateral, the expansion force generated by the mixture in each right-angled container is taken over and utilized cyclically, thus generating continuous power. According to different heat sources, the heating method can be selected. As long as the heating part of the device is slightly modified, the equipment can operate. For example, waste such as garbage and waste oil can be burned to generate steam to heat the mixture (the carbon dioxide generated by combustion can be treated by the "technology for zero-emission utilization of carbon dioxide generated by combustion"). For example, using a condenser lens to focus sunlight for heating can also make the equipment operate, and the obtained energy belongs to new energy. In view of the particularity of condenser lens heating, it is necessary to elaborate further here. That is, N plastic condenser lenses similar to magnifying glasses are installed above the right-angled container on the same plane, aiming at the sun and focusing on the solar panel for light and heat on the same plane below the lens to heat the mixture. The angle changes with the movement of the sun and is automatically adjusted and controlled by electronic equipment. This is a new method of solar power generation, and the equipment is simple to manufacture, durable and affordable. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Inside the right-angled containers a1, a2, a3, and a4 is an equal amount of a mixture of carbon dioxide and water in a 1:1 molecular ratio, with a spiral steam water pipe installed in the middle. When the steam heats the mixture in a1, the mixture will expand, and as the heat increases, the expansion force will become greater and greater. At this time, the pistons R2 and R4 are locked at positions d1 and d2 respectively, and the pistons R1 and R3 are at positions b1 and c2 respectively and are movable. Under the action of the expansion force, the R1 piston will be pushed from point b1 to point c1. The force is conducted to the R3 piston through the lever k1, and the RR3 piston is pushed from point c2 to point b2 and locked. Teeth are installed between x1 and y1, and the distance is equal to that between b1 and c1. When point x1 reaches point y1, point O1 is the center point of the lever k1, and the installed automatic control device will instruct the two-way valve F1 to close the steam and open the cold water to cool a1, while the two-way valve F2 opens the steam and closes the cold water to heat a2. During this movement process, point O1 is the connection point of the lever G1 and will move in the direction of point y1. Under the action of the lever G1, point w1 is the movable fixed point where the levers G1 and G3 intersect, and point w1 will move in the direction of point w2. Under the action of the lever G3, point O3 is the connection point of the lever G3 and will move in the direction of point y3, causing the piston R6 to move from point e3 to point d3 and lock. When the steam heats the mixture in a2, by the same principle, the piston R4 is pushed from point d2 to point e2, the piston R5 is pushed from point c3 to point b3 and locked. The piston R8 is pushed from point c4 to point b4 and locked. When point x2 reaches point y2, point O2 is the center point of the lever kk2, and the installed automatic control device will instruct the two-way valve F2 to close the steam and open the cold water to cool a2, while the two-way valve F3 opens the steam and closes the cold water to heat a3. In this way, the four devices rotate and cycle for heating and take turns to operate, and through the conversion of the gear diameter from small to large, it drives the generator shaft to generate electricity, or directly drives the equipment that requires power by the gear. Description of the Drawings

[0004] (1) Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the principle of an expansion-type thermal energy conversion into kinetic energy device. (2) The lever shapes of the levers G1, G2, G3, and G4 near the center points w1, w2, w3, and w4 are such that the lever fixing bolts can slide on the lever. (3) The lever combinations of G1 and G3 are in one group, and the combinations of G2 and G4 are in one group. (4) The travel distance between b1 and c1 can be greater than the distance between d1 and b1, and it can be designed according to needs. Detailed Implementation Manner

[0005] Four right-angled containers are made according to the figure. The size depends on the amount of heat. Pistons are installed at both ends and connected into a quadrilateral by a lever with teeth. The teeth on the lever are connected to a gear that converts a small diameter to a large diameter and the rotating shaft of the generator. The diameter of the gear is calculated according to the magnitude of the expansion force to match the rotation speed of the generator. The generator can be connected to an energy storage device or directly connected to a device that requires power through a gear. Carbon dioxide can be directly captured from the atmosphere using amine chemical solvents or by methods such as oxy-fuel combustion, and then stored in a storage tank. When in use, the middle square part of the right-angled container is first filled with water, and then carbon dioxide is pumped in. A steam pipe is connected to a two-way valve. When the steam heats the mixture, the device will operate. Steam heating is generally used in enterprises with waste heat available or waste power plants. The waste is used as fuel, and the combustion of water generates steam to heat the mixture, converting thermal energy into kinetic energy for power generation to replace steam turbine power generation. Concentrating lenses focusing sunlight for heating can be used in all places with direct sunlight, especially in rural residences, which are mostly single-family houses with good light intensity and are more suitable for installing this device.
