Power generation technology for pressing solidified gas generating buoyancy into water again by using buoyancy as power under water through screw pump

Abstract

Buoyancy is used as driving force, a container generating buoyancy is filled with gas, when the container ascends, the container is sealed, when the water pressure of the gas in the container is reduced, the gas density does not change, when the container reaches the top, water is sucked from the outside through a pipeline and enters the container through a double-rod screw pump, and the container is sealed. Before the double-rod screw pump sucks water, due to the fact that air pressure and water pressure in the container and the pipeline leading to the rising point of the container are consistent, buoyancy generated by rising of the container drives the double-rod screw pump to rotate, due to the labor-saving effect of the double-rod screw pump under the high pressure difference, by means of the Pascal principle, air in the container can be pressed into the rising starting point of the underwater container through the container, and the double-rod screw pump is driven to rotate. The buoyancy generated by earth gravity is converted into electric power, and the generated electric power is continuous and is not limited by time and climate.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] A power generation technology that uses buoyancy to propel buoyant gas underwater and then uses a screw pump to pressurize the solidified gas back into the water involves solidifying the gas in a container as it rises from a certain depth. When the gas reaches the surface water, water is drawn into the container using a twin-screw pump. The gas in the container is then injected back into the underwater container at the initial water depth through a pipe. Due to the internal structure of the twin-screw pump, the energy required to pressurize the water is less than the energy generated by the buoyancy of the rising container. The excess energy can then be used to continuously generate electricity. Background Technology

[0002] After gas is injected into the container, the container generates a huge buoyancy underwater. When the buoyancy exceeds the total weight of the container, the container will float and have a huge force. Since the container is sealed underwater from the beginning, the gas inside the container will not expand during the buoyancy process, and the density of the gas inside the container will not change. After the container reaches the water surface, the density of the gas inside the container is the same as the density of the gas in the pipe leading underwater. When water is sucked into the container by a twin-screw pump, the pressure generated by the gas density in the container and the pipe is greater than the pressure at the underwater starting point, so the gas inside the container is re-injected into the underwater starting point. The twin-screw pump requires very little energy during the water suction process. The energy generated by the container filled with gas is greater than the energy required by the twin-screw pump. The excess energy can be used to drive a generator set. Summary of the Invention

[0003] A power generation technology that uses buoyancy to propel solidified gas back underwater via a screw pump includes a floating platform, support frame, sprockets, chains, a container, a twin-screw pump, a water-gas exchange box, a sealed moving suction cup, hoses, pipes, a container ascending channel, a container descending channel, a gas storage tank, a generator set, thallium, and an electrically driven air compressor. The installation process is as follows: A floating platform is installed on the water surface, and a support frame is fixed beneath it. All other equipment is fixed to the support frame. Under the action of the floating platform, the entire device floats below the water surface. A main shaft is horizontally installed on the support frame and fixed to it with bearings. The main shaft can rotate freely. Sprockets are installed on both sides of the main shaft, corresponding to the sprockets on the bottom shaft. Two sprockets are installed on the inner side of the shaft, one of which is connected to the generator... The motor sprocket is connected to the chain, and another sprocket is connected to the drive sprocket of the twin-screw pump. When the shaft rotates, the other sprockets rotate accordingly. A horizontal shaft is also installed at the bottom, which is horizontal and vertical with the top main shaft. The shaft is fixed to the bracket by bearings, and sprockets are installed on both sides of the shaft. These sprockets are connected to the sprockets on both sides of the top shaft by chains. The space between the chains is the space for the container to rise. After installation, the chain on the rising side of the container is vertical. Corresponding hooks are installed on the two chains, paired up. Each set of hooks is horizontal. When the container rises, the hooks engage the shafts on both sides of the container. The buoyancy of the rising container generates force that drives the chain, which drives the sprocket, which in turn drives the shaft, which drives the other sprockets, and then drives other equipment to rotate via the chain. The floating platform is then installed... Install the generator set, secure it, and waterproof it to prevent water damage. Connect the generator set's drive wheel to the main shaft and sprocket via a chain. Install a twin-screw pump underwater and secure it to the bottom of the floating platform. The twin-screw pump's inlet must be completely submerged to a certain depth for easy water intake. The outlet is a water-air exchange box. The twin-screw pump has no head when drawing water. During intake, prevent the gas inside the water-air exchange box from being directly discharged; it must also draw external water into the water-air exchange box. The water-air exchange box has four interfaces: a water inlet connected to the twin-screw pump's outlet via a pipe (the twin-screw pump inlet should be higher than or level with the water-air exchange box inlet); a gas outlet connected to the container's underwater air inlet via a pipe. The container is connected to a storage tank, with two gas-liquid exchange interfaces. A flexible hose connects to the gas-liquid exchanger, each with a hose containing two sub-tubes. One sub-tube directs the liquid from the gas-liquid exchange tank into the container, and the other directs the gas from the container into the gas-liquid exchange tank. Inside the gas-liquid exchange tank, the gas exhaust pipe is positioned higher than the liquid level to facilitate gas discharge. A gas-liquid exchanger is installed at the other end of the hose, moving along the inclined path leading to the container. The gas-liquid exchanger is a device that connects and seals with the container. When the buoyant container reaches its apex, the gas-liquid exchanger first aligns with it. For sealing, once the alignment is complete, a pneumatic device is used to tighten the screws on the outside of the interface. Under the action of the screws...The sealing gasket at the interface seals the upper and lower spaces. After sealing, simultaneously open the sealing switch inside the container and the two hose switches inside the water-air exchanger. At this point, the liquid in the water-air exchanger enters the container, and the gas in the container rises into the water-air exchange chamber. Once all the gas in the container has entered the water-air exchange chamber, simultaneously close the sealing switch of the container and the hose switches of the water-air exchanger. Then loosen the sealing screw between the container and the water-air exchanger. The container begins to descend underwater under its own weight, while the water-air exchanger moves along the track. One end of the track is the apex where the container rises vertically due to its own buoyancy. At this point, the container is just about to dock with the water-air exchanger. After docking, the water-air exchanger releases its brake, and the water-air exchanger moves along the track under the buoyancy of the container. The ascent begins, reaching the other end of the track. This end is slightly higher underwater than the vertical ascent point of the container, but the height difference is minimal, generally less than 10 centimeters. After completing the water-air exchange with the container, the water-air exchanger returns to the vertical ascent point of the container under its own weight, awaiting the arrival of the next container. The two water-air exchangers alternate, forming a cycle. The water-air exchanger pipes connect to an underwater gas storage tank, located slightly lower than the starting point of the underwater container's ascent. The gas compressed by the water-air exchanger first arrives here, then travels through a hose to the gas connector, which connects to the container. Once all the gas in the container is expelled, it descends underwater along the descent channel under its own weight. When the container reaches its lowest point, the gas connector is screwed to the connection point at the bottom of the container. The components are fixed together. Under the action of the pneumatic device, the sealing device of the container is opened, and then the switch of the hose is opened. Gas in the gas storage tank enters the container under its own buoyancy, automatically expelling the water in the container. After all the water in the container is expelled, the gas connector closes the bottom sealing device of the container under the action of the pneumatic device, putting the container in a fully sealed state and disconnecting it from the gas connector. The container waits in the waiting position. When the previous buoyant container is about to rise to the top, this container begins to rise, hooks the hook of the chain, pulls the chain and rises, driving all the equipment to rotate. The gas connector also moves along the track. The lowest point that the container descends to is slightly lower than the container waiting point, but the lower position is limited. The container must have sufficient buoyancy. The system operates automatically under buoyancy. After disconnecting from the container, the gas connector returns to the lowest point of the container's descent and waits. Two gas connectors are used in rotation, but one must be in the gas-venting state at any given time. The container is cylindrical, with an inner liner. At the top, there is a connection point between the container and the water-gas connector, secured with a nut. The sealing screw of the water-gas connector aligns with this nut, maintaining a fixed position. If an odd number of containers are circulated, there are two connection points; if an even number of containers are circulated, only one connection point aligns with the water-gas connector. Each connection point contains a sealing switch, opened and closed by a pneumatic device within the water-gas connector. There is also a gas connection point at the bottom of the container, also with a fixing nut, securing it with the gas connector screw. This connection point also has a sealing device.The gas connector is also opened or closed by a pneumatic device. The position is fixed. If it's an odd-numbered container cycle, there are two connection points; if it's an even-numbered container cycle, there's only one connection point corresponding to the water-gas connector position. The container has a prismatic outer shell installed outside the connection points. This shell separates the water flow to both sides when the container rises and falls. A shaft is installed through the center of the bottom of the container, extending to both ends. The extended portion of the shaft runs along the trajectory channel and hooks onto a hook during ascent, pulling the chain to rotate all equipment. A container running trajectory channel is installed at the location where the shaft extends and is fixed to a support for easy container movement. During ascent, the hook on the chain facilitates connection between the water-gas connector and the gas connector and the container. During ascent, the container must be sealed to maintain a constant gas density. When exchanging gas with the water-gas connector, the gas pressure inside the container should match the pressure in the top water-gas exchange tank and the bottom gas storage tank. As the container rises, the twin-screw pump injects water into the water-gas exchange tank. Pascal's principle forces the gas underwater, creating a circulation. Initially, the gas pressure in the container and the circulation system is equal, maintaining a balance with the water pressure. The twin-screw pump injects water, disrupting this balance and forcing the gas back underwater. To maximize buoyancy, buoyancy balls are added to the outside of the container, allowing it to descend underwater under its own weight, thus reducing some of its weight. During ascent, the container remains sealed. Since the gas inside does not expand with the ascent, the gas pressure inside the container matches the water pressure when the container is sealed. When the container exchanges liquid and gas with the water-gas exchange tank, the gas pressure in the container and the entire compressed air system also matches the water depth pressure. Combined with the gas replenishment from the pneumatic device, liquid and gas recycling is achieved. Furthermore, the twin-screw pump operates with low driving force at the low inlet pressure and high outlet pressure, as long as... Once the container reaches a certain depth and the space for ascent reaches a basic height, adding a little more height will create excess power to drive the generator set. This achieves the goal of using gravity to power the generator through buoyancy, thus producing a continuous and relatively constant supply of electricity. As long as the equipment remains undamaged, there will be no interruption, providing balanced power 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Furthermore, an electric gas compressor is installed on the floating platform. Through gas pipes, pneumatic devices control the opening and closing of various switches and the rotation of the fixing screws in the underwater water-gas exchanger and gas connector. A thallium is installed at the bottom of the support structure; the weight of the thallium further contributes to buoyancy. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0005] Setting: The large twin-screw pump delivers 0.052 cubic meters of water per revolution; the drive wheel has a diameter of 0.3 meters; all sprockets on the main shaft have a diameter of 0.3 meters; the net lifting height of the container driving all equipment is 42 meters; the net buoyancy generated by the container is 1.9 tons; the container's weight underwater is 0.4 tons; the twin-screw pump's suction point is 2 meters underwater; the air and water pressure inside the container and in the pipes connecting to the 45 underwater outlets is 0.45 MPa; the calculation is based on the container being filled with gas and the chain starting to rotate until the container reaches its top. One cycle begins when the next container starts working. The gas pushed down in the previous cycle becomes the source of buoyancy for the container in the next cycle. In one cycle, 2.3 cubic meters of gas can be pushed down at a pressure of 0.45 MPa. The net buoyancy required to drive the twin-screw pump is 0.5 tons, and the weight of the balancing container is 0.4 tons. So there is still 1.4 tons of buoyancy to drive the generator set. There are six containers circulating, so after the equipment starts, there is always 1.4 tons of buoyancy to drive the generator set, which generates about 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour.
