Description

Title of the invention: The present invention is an energy generator whose internal mechanism operates totally immersed in a liquid medium.

[0001] This compressed gas-powered generator can continue to supply power in the event of a power outage (for example, in the event of a fire) by delivering compressed gas through secure piping. When producing alternating current, the generator / alternator connection can be located to avoid long cables. The liquid reserves stored in the machine, pre-charged with a fire retardant, can also be used to extinguish fires. By simply opening hatches, the entire quantity of liquid stored in each generator can be released on different floors of a building to extinguish and neutralize all types of fires. The generator can operate with all kinds of liquids of varying densities, from the most fluid to the densest, from water to mercury. The final torque depends on the density of the liquid.

[0002] The body (4) of the generator is a container shape of variable volume and height, the height of which depends on the power.

[0003] The body (4) is vertical or oblique.

[0004] The cylindrical shape of the body (4) is justified only by its resistance to pressure.

[0005] The body (4) of the machine can have any shape of container that would withstand the pressure of filling.

[0006] The internal mechanism is immersed in liquid (3).

[0007] The internal mechanism consists of four toothed rings (2 / 18) that can receive a double chain (15) of the same pitch. Two rings for the top (2), two rings for the bottom (18).

[0008] The crowns (2 / 18) are paired to receive two parallel drive chains (15).

[0009] The two parallel chains (15) have no other reason than the stability of the movement and the modules (5 / 22).

[0010] The principle works on a single chain.

[0011] Two parallel rings (18) ensure the passage of the chains at the bottom of the machine, two other parallel rings (2) ensure the passage of the chains at the top of the machine.

[0012] The parallel rings are mounted on bearings (2 / 18). One of the two bearings is passive and serves to rotate the rings, the other bearing is active. It drives them and provides the final energy capable of moving all kinds of mechanisms.

[0013] The drive bearing and the passive bearing can be reversed.

[0014] On the chains (15) are grafted tank modules (5 / 22) capable of receiving a filling gas (9).

[0015] The modules (5) are therefore open at the bottom so that they can be filled with gas (9) at the lower passage of the machine, on the ascending side of the column (6).

[0016] The reservoir modules can be inflatable balloons that inflate upon contact with the rings, this time hollow, and air retaining valves. In this case, the opening for deflation will occur as they pass over the upper rings (2), by actuating the valve of each balloon through contact with the rings, thus releasing the gas.

[0017] In the case of modules open at the bottom (see [Fig.1]), the gas (9) is emptied automatically when the modules (5) which go up (6) reverse and tilt to the descending side (14) by simply passing over the top of the immersed mechanism, on the upper rings (2).

[0018] The modules open at the top (22) will then fill with liquid (3), which will allow them to descend.

[0019] A shower nozzle (20) releases gas below the descending column (14) in the form of microbubbles (19), thus facilitating the fall of the modules (22) which are then filled with liquid. This requires a partial central partition (16) between the two ascending (6) and descending (14) columns and promotes an acceleration of the movement.

[0020] The descending module column (14) is always either filled with liquid in the case of open modules (see [Fig.1]), or empty of gas in the case of inflatable modules.

[0021] The injection of gas (9) into the modules (5) takes place after detection upon passing in front of a magnetic sensor (8).

[0022] Each module is equipped with a metallic target (7) detected when passing in front of the sensor (8).

[0023] Through a computer, the detection triggers the action of a sequence valve (11) which distributes, via an injector (10), the necessary quantity of gas to fill the modules (5).

[0024] The modules (5) open at the bottom are filled with gas in calibrated quantity.

[0025] Due to the ascent, the volume of gas expands throughout the progression of the modules.

[0026] The injection is carried out at the foot of the ascending column (6) by injector (10) positioned at the passage of the lower opening of the module located at the lowest point of the machine.

[0027] The computer can trigger several actions per second of the sequential gas filling valve (11).

[0028] The machine operates on the principle of displacement of volumes in a liquid according to Archimedes' principle, combined with the vertical chain displacement of these volumes.

[0029] In the case of this machine, an acceleration can result from the chain movement. The final torque therefore results from the total height between the two axes (13 / 17), the volume of the modules (5 / 22), the diameter of the drive rings (2 / 18) (final lever), the unit weight (density) of the machine filling liquid, as well as the density and expansion power of the injected gas.

[0030] In the case of filling with water, this water can be loaded with alum salts or any other material which would increase its density.

[0031] The generated movement results from the accumulation of energy from the injection point (10) at the bottom of the ascending column (6) to its top (2).

[0032] The injected gas pressure is supplied by a compressor (12).

[0033] The larger the modules, the more powerful the machine.

[0034] The greater the height between the two axes, upper (13) and lower (17), the more powerful and economical the machine is in terms of injected gas.

[0035] The larger the diameter of the crowns (2 / 18), the more powerful the machine.

[0036] The machine can operate in a closed circuit.

[0037] The machine according to the invention is particularly designed to supply energy. This stored energy is clean. The machine according to the invention can continue to supply energy even in the event of a power outage.
