Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates generally to energy systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to an energy system for generating electrical energy utilizing cosmic rays and muons. The energy system provides a cascade combination of two or more muon generators that eliminates shutdown problems caused by overheating, produces more green electricity, and delivers constant energy to an output power line. [Background technology]

[0002] There are many possible technologies and methods for generating electrical energy to meet the needs of society and humanity. Many of these different technologies and methods include various advantages and disadvantages. For example, solar power and wind power are clean and renewable energy sources, but they only generate energy when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. Nevertheless, these technologies are limited to weather conditions that depend on sunlight or wind, which limits their application.

[0003] Further burning fossil fuels can produce energy on demand, but only in limited quantities. Meanwhile, the process of obtaining fuel through operations such as mining and fracking can emit several pollutants (i.e., chemical pollutants, carbon dioxide, and many other waste products) that can cause the disruption of ecosystems and habitats, thus raising environmental concerns.

[0004] Furthermore, cosmic rays are known to produce enough muons from the decay of cosmic rays as they pass through the Earth's atmosphere. Cosmic rays lose energy when they collide with atmospheric particles, producing elementary particles, including pions, to a lesser extent atoms or molecules, which then produce muons. Typically, several hundred muons are produced per cosmic ray particle from successive collisions. Muons are highly unstable, with a density of 2×10 -6 It has a lifetime of seconds and typically decays into an electron, a mu neutrino, and an electron neutrino.

[0005] Muons provide a reliable source of electricity generation, and therefore there is an unmet need to continue research and development of viable alternative methods of clean energy production.

[0006] There are several muon electromagnetic generators that can generate electricity from the decay of muons, which are abundant in the atmosphere, day and night, independent of weather conditions, allowing for a continuous supply of electricity for a variety of applications, including high power.

[0007] Muon electromagnetic generators are known in the prior art, such as U.S. published patent applications like U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2016 / 0049839, and PCT applications like PCT / IB2012 / 002291, PCT / BR2013 / 000107, PCT / BR2014 / 000112, and PCT / FR2009 / 052379. A muon electromagnetic generator consists of a primary power supply, such as a battery or electrical network, connected to an inverter that converts direct current from a battery into alternating current. The source feeds an oscillator whose frequency, protected by an inductive filter, is a fraction of the Compton wavelength of muons, while its terminals are connected in series with a spark gap and an external oscillating coil. The oscillating coil generates a fluctuating oscillating magnetic field at the same frequency as the oscillator, which is capable of attracting and concentrating muons coming from cosmic rays. At the center of the coil, the muons spontaneously decay (split) and generate a large number of electrons (one muon gives rise to one electron) inside the central chamber of the coil until they are absorbed by the wires of the inner coil in the form of electricity, which is then converted into a working voltage and then supplied to any external load via another inverter for a three-phase load.

[0008] These muon electromagnetic generators have been observed to generate enormous amounts of heat that can shut down the entire system within minutes.

[0009] Muon electromagnetic generators, such as those disclosed in U.S. published patent documents such as U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2016 / 0049839 and PCT applications such as PCT / IB2012 / 002291, PCT / BR2013 / 000107, and PCT / BR2014 / 000112, do not mention the heating problem, but the heating problem does exist.

[0010] Table 1 below presents results obtained from tests performed by means of the processes and devices of U.S. published documents such as U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2016 / 0049839, and PCT applications such as PCT / IB2012 / 002291 and PCT / BR2013 / 000107.

[0011] [Table 1]

[0012] Therefore, there is a need for improved energy systems that eliminate the problem of frequent shutdowns caused by overheating. Additionally, there is a need for improved energy systems that deliver constant energy to the output and also generate more green electricity. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

Furthermore, a feedback system including a laser temperature measurement device and a control unit is provided, which shuts off the switch and cuts off the input power when the temperature reaches a threshold, for example, when it reaches 25% of the equipment's operating capacity.

[0018] In one aspect of the invention, the thermoelectric elements are included in the generator and / or installed in combination with a cooling unit, having a separate output power line, which delivers a liquid coolant (preferably water and / or oil) in contact with all critical components that generate excess heat.

[0022] Other aspects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description and appended claims.

[0023] The detailed description is best understood in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, as follows: [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0024] [Figure 1] 1 illustrates a cascade coupling of at least two generators according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0025] The present invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a system 40 including at least two muon generators 50 in a cascade configuration. However, it will be recognized that in practice, the number of muon generators in the configuration may be at least two or more without limiting the scope of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, input power is supplied to each generator 50, and each generator is equipped with a switch 51. The generator 50 is further connected to a transformer 52, through which one or more output power lines are connected to deliver constant energy to the output. Furthermore, the system 40 provides a computer 53 connected to the generators 50, and a cooling unit 54 is also equipped with the generators 50.

[0027] The computers 53 from both the primary and secondary generators can be combined to manage a common state when the generators 50 are in active use, indicating the overall performance of the energy production. As an alternative solution, it may be envisaged that only one computer 53 controls all of the generators 50 in the current cascade combination (not shown in Figure 1).

[0028] According to the structure and configuration shown in FIG. 1, embodiments of the present invention provide two solutions to the problems associated with overheating and shutting down of muon generators, and also generate more green electricity.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first solution is to use thermoelectric elements / materials that generate electricity through temperature differences. Thermoelectric elements / materials are elements / materials that can transfer thermal energy and electrical energy to each other, allowing them to reuse thermal energy to create more electricity and improve the efficiency of the generator. Furthermore, the feedback system includes a laser thermometer that controls the activation and shutdown of the switch 51 and input power when the temperature reaches a threshold, for example, when the equipment reaches 25% of its operating capacity. Furthermore, the laser thermometer is preferably installed to close critical components / portions of each generator 50, thereby transmitting measurements to a computer 53 that controls the activation of the next generator and the shutdown of the first generator 50. Additionally, both the input and output power energy measurements are transmitted to the computer 53, which links them to information regarding the timing of both the temperature and energy measurements.

[0030] Alternatively, in another embodiment instead of a feedback system, switch 51 can simply be connected to a clock that cuts off the input power after a given time (i.e., after 2-8 minutes, according to experiments to find the critical temperature beyond which the heating temperature exceeds). This creates a trigger to shut down generator 50, as electronic components have different critical operating temperature areas.

[0031] 1, the present invention provides a cascaded coupling of at least two generators 50 such that the system 40 shuts down the first generator 50 immediately after the second generator 50 is turned on. Thus, the cascaded coupling of two or more muon generators 50 eliminates the problem of shutdown caused by overheating and delivers constant energy to the output power line.

[0032] Additionally, in another embodiment, system 40 is implemented with a computer 53 that calculates when the maximum temperature is reached and a laser temperature measurement device. Additionally, computer 53 also calculates the energy from both the input and output power lines.

[0033] Additionally, the system 50 includes a cooling unit 54 that delivers a liquid coolant (preferably water and / or oil) in contact with all critical components that generate excess heat. Thus, all critical components of the generator 50 remain cooled, and the water can also produce moisture that can be used by the turbine to generate electricity.

[0034] In another embodiment, the thermoelectric elements / materials may be included in the muon generator 50 and / or installed in combination with the cooling unit 54 and may have a separate output power line. Additionally, the transformer 52 converts the output voltage according to the requirements of the electricity usage.

[0035] The foregoing description of embodiments of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or may be acquired from practice of the invention without departing from the scope of the invention. The embodiments are chosen and described to explain the principles of the invention and its practical application so as to enable those skilled in the art to utilize the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications as suited to the particular uses contemplated.
