Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a clean energy technology, particularly a deep-water energy utilization technology, specifically a power plant or power station based on deep-water static pressure energy. Background Technology
[0002] (1) A similar patent application was filed in the United States in September 2012, application number: US 2012\020166441. Its structure is: the lower end of the deep-water pipe uses two parallel tapered pipes, thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom, as the static pressure boosting power source. Its basic principle is: p 上 f 上大 >p 下 f 下 Where p is the static pressure at the top and bottom of the tapered tube, and f is the area of the top and bottom openings: it is not difficult to see from this scheme that p 上 <p 下 f 上 >f 下 The difference in this invention lies in p. 下 f 下 Much larger than p 上 f 上 Therefore, the effect is better, but the structures are different.

The potential energy of the length of the outlet pipe is determined by the test, so it is better to eliminate the large pipe to make the structure simpler and more reasonable. The single unit power of the present invention can reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kilowatts.

Figure 3 As shown, the power station or power plant is a suspended type, which includes a water outlet pipe 1. The water outlet pipe 1 is an integral structure, and its upper end is directly connected to the water inlet of the turbine generator set 7.

[0023] The working principle of this invention is: According to Bernoulli's principle, in a fluid pipeline, the sum of the three energies at each cross-section is a constant. This is a model of the law of conservation of energy. The three energies are: static pressure energy P (kg / m³). 2 Potential energy H (m): Kinetic energy: E = 1 / 2mv 2 m—mass, and the three energy modes can be converted into each other.
[0024] Furthermore, according to Newton's third law (law of motion), the factor that causes acceleration of matter is F = m dv / dt I, which is the factor that converts the static pressure of deep water into kinetic energy, and the action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The downward force of the ground-supporting base 9 of this invention is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the upward static pressure, thus accommodating this. The suspended type can utilize the downward gravity of the platform 5 to balance the upward static pressure.
[0025] In the field of hydrodynamics, humanity is still focused on potential energy utilization, namely dam-type power generation systems. There are few mature precedents in the fields of kinetic energy and static pressure energy, especially the utilization of deep-water static pressure energy.
[0026] In this invention, the diameter D of the lower end of the tapered tube 2 is much larger than that of the cylindrical tube d. Therefore, the static pressure energy on the plane of the lower end of the tapered tube 2 is much greater than the potential energy H on the tapered tube 2, while the static pressure P at the upper end of the cylindrical tube 1 is much greater. 上 Since the potential energy H is zero, its energy form can only be kinetic energy 1 / 2mv. 2 The deeper the water, the greater the static pressure energy; the thicker the pipe, the greater the total energy. If the necessary and sufficient conditions are made in the overall structure, the present invention can achieve its intended purpose.
[0027] Analysis of experimental results: Take a deep-sea energy experimental device as an example: A. Original conditions: a. The inner diameter of a cylindrical water outlet pipe (1) is d1=2cm and its length is 10m; The upper and lower diameters of the tapered pipe 2 at the lower end of water pipe 1 are d1=2cm and d2=10cm, respectively. A weight G of 70 kg or more is installed at the lower end of the tapered tube 2. The device is installed in water 10 meters deep, with its upper opening at the horizontal level.
[0028] B. Analysis of the cut conical tube as a free body: The potential energy at the upper opening d1 of tapered tube 2 is d1F = 3.14Xr. 2 =3.14cm 2 Pressure p = 1 kg / cm² 2 The pressure P = 3.14 kg, directed downwards.
[0029] The lower end of tapered tube 2 has a diameter d2 = 10cm. Area d²f = 3.14R 2 =3.14*5 2 =78.5cm 2 . The pressure P2 = 78.5 * 1 = 78.5 kg, and the direction is upward.
[0030] P2 > P1, 78.5kg > 3.14kg; According to F=ma, water is ejected from point 1.
[0031] All parts not covered in this invention are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies.
