[0017] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a power generating device. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the internal structure of the storage tank. [Diagram 3] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a helical tube. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a front view of the drive unit. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a power generating device according to a preferred embodiment. The power generating device 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a pressure pump unit 2 for pressurizing and sending out water L, a cooling device unit 3 for cooling the water L sent out from the pressure pump unit 2, a storage tank 4 for storing the water L cooled by the cooling device unit 3, a gas introduction unit 5 for filling the storage tank 4 with gas and pressurizing the water L in the storage tank 4, a drive unit 6 driven by collision with the water L discharged from the storage tank 4, a pipe 7 connecting these parts and circulating the water L inside, an adjustment valve 8 installed at several points in the middle of the pipe 7 for adjusting the flow rate of the water L passing through the part, and a power generating unit 9 connected to the drive unit 6. In such a power generating device 1, by driving the pressure pump unit 2, the water L circulates in the pipe 7 in the direction of the arrow A, the drive unit 6 is driven by collision with the water L, and the power generating unit 9 generates power using the drive force of the drive unit 6. In this way, by circulating the water L in the power generating device 1, the amount of water L used is reduced.

[0019] The liquid circulated through the pipe 7 is not limited to water L. However, by using water L, material costs can be reduced.

[0020] The pressure pump unit 2 also has two pressure pumps 2A and 2B arranged in parallel. In this way, by connecting the two pressure pumps 2A and 2B in parallel, the maintenance of the pressure pump unit 2 becomes easy. For example, by driving the pressure pumps 2A and 2B at about 50% output during normal times, and driving the pressure pump 2B at 100% during maintenance or replacement of the pressure pump 2A, it becomes possible to drive the pumps in the same way as during normal times even during maintenance. For this reason, it is preferable to use pressure pumps 2A and 2B that have the capacity to pressurize the water L to the required pressure when driven at about 50%.

[0021] Each of the pressure pumps 2A and 2B is a multi-stage volute pump that pressurizes the water L using centrifugal force generated by the rotation of a bladed wheel called an impeller. However, the pressure pumps 2A and 2B are not particularly limited. In addition, the number of pressure pumps included in the pressure pump unit 2 is not limited to two, and may be one, or three or more.

[0022] The water L delivered from the pressure pump unit 2 is introduced into the cooling device unit 3 and cooled. By cooling the water L, which has been heated by pressurization by the pressure pump unit 2, by the cooling device unit 3, evaporation of the water L can be prevented, and a decrease in the power generation capacity of the power generation device 1 can be prevented.

[0023] The cooling device unit 3 has two cooling devices (heat removal devices) 3A and 3B arranged in parallel. The cooling device (heat removal device) 3A is connected to the pressure pump 2A, and high-pressure water L discharged from the pressure pump 2A is introduced thereinto, and the cooling device (heat removal device) 3B cools (removes heat from) the water L. Similarly, the cooling device (heat removal device) 3B is connected to the pressure pump 2B, and high-pressure water L discharged from the pressure pump 2B is introduced thereinto, and the cooling device 3A and 3B cool (removes heat from) the water L. There are no particular limitations on the cooling devices 3A and 3B as long as they can cool the water L, but for example, they can be configured to cool the water L by heat exchange with a refrigerant. The cooling device unit 3 may be omitted.

[0024] The storage tank 4 stores the water L cooled by the cooling device unit 3. The storage tank 4 has a tank body 41 and a floating lid 42 arranged in the tank body 41 so as to be freely raised and lowered. Therefore, the inside of the storage tank 4 is divided by the floating lid 42 into a lower space S1 located below the floating lid 42 and an upper space S2 located above the floating lid 42. The water L cooled by the cooling device unit 3 is introduced and stored in the lower space S1, and gas is introduced from the gas introduction unit 5 into the upper space S2. The tank body 41 stores about 300 to 500 liters of water L. The tank body 41 is cylindrical with closed upper and lower ends. A pipe 7 is connected to the center of the bottom of the tank body 41 for discharging the water L stored in the lower space S1. The connecting portion of the pipe 7 with the tank body 41 tapers downward in a funnel shape (tapered shape), and the connecting portion is further provided with a guide 73 made of a spiral protrusion. However, the guide 73 may be a groove.

[0025] 2, the storage tank 4 is disposed in the lower space S1, and has a spiral pipe 43 wound in a spiral shape (turning left) on the inner circumferential surface of the tank body 41. The piping 7 is connected to an upper opening of the spiral pipe 43. Therefore, the water L cooled by the cooling device unit 3 is introduced into the spiral pipe 43 through the piping 7, and is discharged into the tank body 41 from the lower opening of the spiral pipe 43.

[0026] The helical tube 43 can be formed, for example, by twisting a straight tube having an inner diameter of about 80 mm and winding it into a helical shape. By twisting the straight tube, an inclined groove 431 is formed on the inner wall of the helical tube 43 as shown in FIG. 3. This groove 431 is formed so as to advance while turning (turning left) toward the downstream side. Furthermore, by winding the straight tube into a helical shape, the outside of the helix (the outer peripheral side of the helical tube 43) is pulled in the length direction as a whole, and the pitch of the groove 431 becomes wider, whereas the inside of the helix (the inner peripheral side of the helical tube 43) is compressed in the length direction as a whole, and the pitch of the groove 431 becomes narrower.

[0027] When water L is introduced into such a helical tube 43, the water molecules spin-vibrate and rotate within the helical tube 43. The spin-vibration rotation is a phenomenon in which friction occurs between water molecules, and the water molecules repeatedly collide and separate from each other, causing the molecules to vibrate and rotate. When the water L is first introduced into the helical tube 43, each molecule vibrates and rotates in a different direction from the others, but as the water L makes a small turn (left turn) along the groove 431 and a large turn (left turn) along the helical tube 43, the directions of the vibration rotation gradually become uniform, and the spin-vibration rotation, that is, the vibration rotation that backspins against the flow of the water L, becomes dominant. In this way, the water molecules spin-vibrate and rotate within the helical tube 43, and thus the water L is braked within the helical tube 43. Then, a weight greater than the mass of the water itself is added to the water L. In other words, the water L becomes heavier than 1 kg / 1L.

[0028] The gas introduction unit 5 introduces gaseous nitrogen (N 2 The power generating device 1 includes a nitrogen generator 51 that generates nitrogen gas (NOx) and a compressor 52 that introduces the nitrogen generated by the nitrogen generator 51 into the upper space S2 of the storage tank 4. By introducing nitrogen into the upper space S2 by the compressor 52, the floating lid 42 is forced downward, and the water L stored in the lower space S1 is pressurized. By using nitrogen to pressurize the water L, the safety of the power generating device 1 is increased and costs can be reduced. However, the gas introduced into the storage tank 4 is not limited to nitrogen, and may be, for example, the atmosphere (air). In this case, the gas introduction unit 5 is substantially composed of only the compressor 52, so that the power generating device 1 can be made smaller and less expensive. In addition, for example, when nitrogen is used, a cylinder filled with nitrogen can be used instead of the nitrogen generator 51.

[0029] The drive unit 6 includes a water wheel 61 (rotated body) that rotates by collision with the water L discharged from the storage tank 4, a cover 62 that covers the water wheel 61, and an output shaft 63 that outputs the rotation of the water wheel 61. In this manner, the configuration using the water wheel 61 can efficiently receive the force of the water L and convert it into rotational motion, thereby reducing energy loss. In addition, by covering the water wheel 61 with the cover 62, the water L does not scatter to the outside, and the reduction of the water L in the device can be prevented. In addition, the cover 62 is located below the water wheel 61 and has a recovery tank 621 that recovers the water L that has collided with the water wheel 61. The water L recovered in the recovery tank 621 is introduced into the pressure pump unit 2 through the piping 7. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a light-transmitting window portion 622 is formed in the cover 62, and the water wheel 61 can be visually confirmed through the window portion 622. Therefore, the user can monitor the state of the water wheel 61 through the window portion 622 while the power generation device 1 is in operation.

[0030] 4, the piping 7 has a header 71 disposed upstream of the water turbine 61, and three discharge pipes 721, 722, 723 extending from the header 71. The water L discharged from each of the discharge pipes 721, 722, 723 collides with the water turbine 61, causing the water turbine 61 to rotate. The water L that collides with the water turbine 61 falls under its own weight and is collected in the collection tank 621. The inner diameter of each of the discharge pipes 721, 722, 723 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, about 20 mm to 60 mm.

[0031] The power generating unit 9 has a generator 91 and a connecting mechanism 92 that connects the generator 91 and the output shaft 63. Therefore, the generator 91 operates by rotating the water turbine 61, and generates electricity. The connecting mechanism 92 includes a reducer, and the reducer converts the rotation speed of the output shaft 63 into a rotation speed for the generator 91. Note that the reducer may be omitted and the output shaft 63 and the generator 91 may be directly connected.

[0032] The configuration of the generator 91 is not particularly limited as long as it can perform its function. For example, it may be an AC generator having a pair of coils and a magnet disposed between the pair of coils and connected to the output shaft 63, and the magnet rotates between the pair of coils by the rotation of the output shaft 63, or conversely, it may be a DC generator having a pair of magnets and a coil disposed between the pair of magnets and connected to the output shaft 63, and the coil rotates between the pair of magnets by the rotation of the output shaft 63. Also, it may be a generator of any other structure.

[0033] The power generating device 1 configured as above is driven as follows. In the power generating device 1, the pressure pump unit 2 is driven to pump water L at about 3 to 7 atmospheres from the pressure pump unit 2 at a flow rate of 5000 to 10000 cc / sec. The water L pumped out from the pressure pump unit 2 is introduced into the cooling device unit 3 and cooled to about 10°C, and then introduced into the spiral tube 43. Then, when the water L is introduced into the spiral tube 43, as described above, the molecules of the water L spin-vibrate and rotate in the spiral tube 43, and the water L becomes heavy. Then, the water L is introduced into the tank main body 41 while maintaining the state in which the molecules spin-vibrate and rotate (heavy state).

[0034] The water L introduced into the tank body 41 from the spiral tube 43 flows along the inner circumference of the tank body 41. Therefore, the water L in the tank body 41 flows in a swirling manner. In addition, the water L is pressed downward (toward the discharge port) by the nitrogen introduced into the upper space S2, and is discharged from the pipe 7 connected to the bottom of the tank body 41 along the guide 73, so that the pressure in the center is lowered relative to the surroundings, and the vortex (swirling flow) is amplified. Then, the water L is discharged from the pipe 7 with force due to this pressure difference Δ. The pressure of the nitrogen filled in the upper space S2 is not particularly limited, but is adjusted so that the pressure difference Δ is maintained at about 0.5 atm to 0.7 atm. Incidentally, the spiral unevenness is formed on the inner circumference surface of the tank body 41 by the spiral tube 43, and this unevenness also serves to maintain and amplify the vortex. Similarly, the guide 73 also serves to maintain and amplify the vortex. In this way, by pressurizing the water L in the tank body 41 and swirling it in a vortex, the water molecules can be maintained in a state of spin vibration rotation even after being discharged from the spiral tube 43.

[0035] The water L discharged from the tank body 41 to the pipe 7 with force is discharged in a balanced manner from the three discharge pipes 721, 722, and 723 through the header 71 while the molecules are kept in a state of spin vibration rotation. The water L discharged from the discharge pipes 721, 722, and 723 speeds up due to the action of spin vibration rotation and collides with the water wheel 61. Therefore, the water L, which is fast and heavy, collides with the water wheel 61, and the water wheel 61 rotates with force. In other words, the drive unit 6 drives. Then, the generator 91 generates electricity by rotating the water wheel 61. In this way, in the power generation device 1, the water L, whose molecules have spin vibration rotation, collides with the water wheel 61, giving enormous energy to the water wheel 61 and allowing it to rotate with great force with force. Therefore, the power generation device 1 has excellent power generation efficiency.

[0036] Needless to say, in a configuration in which pressure is applied to water L whose molecules are not undergoing spin vibration rotation and the water L is discharged from exhaust pipes 721, 722, and 723, the pressure of the water L returns to atmospheric pressure the moment it is discharged from exhaust pipes 721, 722, and 723, and the effect of this embodiment does not occur.

[0037] The water that collides with the water wheel 61 returns to atmospheric pressure and is collected in the collection tank 621. The water L collected in the collection tank 621 is introduced into the pressure pump unit 2 through the piping 7, and is pressurized again by the pressure pump unit 2 before being sent out. In the power generation device 1, power generation can be continued by circulating the water L in this manner. Note that the power generation device 1 only consumes power for driving the pressure pump unit 2, the cooling device unit 3, and the gas introduction unit 5. The amount of power generated is far greater than the amount of power consumed by the power generation device 1. In theory, it is possible to generate power 1000 times or more the amount of power consumed. Furthermore, the water L is practically free. Therefore, the power generation device 1 has extremely excellent power generation performance.

[0038] Furthermore, the power generation equipment 1 is sized so that it can be installed in a 20-ft container (ISO standard). Therefore, by installing it in a 20-ft container, the power generation equipment 1 can be easily transported to a distant location by any means, including land, sea, and air. Therefore, the power generation equipment 1 can be easily introduced to areas that have experienced power outages due to natural disasters, man-made disasters, etc., or depopulated areas that do not have electricity. This makes the power generation equipment 1 extremely convenient.

[0039] Although the driving of the power generating device 1 has been described above, the above is merely an example, and for example, the temperature and air pressure of the water L in each section, the capacity of the storage tank 4, etc. are not particularly limited.

[0040] As described above, such a power generating device 1 includes pressure pumps 2A and 2B that pressurize and send out water L (liquid), a storage tank 4 that stores the water L sent out from the pressure pumps 2A and 2B, a gas introduction unit 5 that introduces nitrogen (gas) into the storage tank 4 and pressurizes the water L in the storage tank 4, a drive unit 6 that is driven by collision with the water L discharged from the storage tank 4, and a power generating unit 9 that generates power by driving the drive unit 6. The storage tank 4 also includes a tank body 41 that stores the water L, and a helical tube 43 that is provided spirally around the inner circumferential surface of the tank body 41. The water L sent out from the pressure pumps 2A and 2B is introduced into the tank body 41 through the helical tube 43. With this configuration, the molecules of the water L can be spin-vibrated and rotated in the helical tube 43, and the water L whose molecules are still spin-vibrated and rotated can be supplied to the drive unit 6 to drive the drive unit 6 with a large force. Therefore, the power generating device 1 has excellent power generation efficiency.

[0041] As described above, the molecules of the water L undergo spin vibration rotation within the spiral tube 43. The drive unit 6 can be driven with a large force. This results in the power generation device 1 having excellent power generation efficiency.

[0042] As described above, a swirling flow of the water L is generated in the tank body 41. Therefore, the molecules can be maintained in a state of spin vibration rotation.

[0043] As described above, the tank body 41 has a pipe 7 connected to the center of the bottom thereof for discharging the water L from the tank body 41, and the water L discharged from the pipe 7 is supplied to the drive unit 6. In this manner, by connecting the pipe 7 to the center of the bottom of the tank body 41, a swirling flow of the water L can be easily generated in the tank body 41.

[0044] As described above, the drive unit 6 has the water wheel 61 (rotated body) that rotates by colliding with the water L. With this configuration, the force of the water L can be efficiently received and converted into rotational motion, thereby reducing energy loss.

[0045] As described above, the water L that collides with the water turbine 61 is collected and introduced into the pressure pumps 2A and 2B. This allows the water L to circulate within the device. Therefore, the amount of water L used is reduced.

[0046] As described above, the liquid is water L. This can reduce costs. Also, it is extremely easy to obtain.

[0047] As described above, the storage tank 4 is a storage tank 4 disposed between the pressure pumps 2A, 2B and the drive unit 6 of the power generation device 1 having the pressure pumps 2A, 2B for pressurizing and sending out the water L (liquid), the drive unit 6 driven by collision with the water L sent out from the pressure pumps 2A, 2B, and the power generation unit 9 for generating power by driving the drive unit 6, and has a tank body 41 for storing the water L and a helical tube 43 provided in a helical shape on the inner peripheral surface of the tank body 41. The water L sent out from the pressure pumps 2A, 2B is introduced into the tank body 41 through the helical tube 43. By using the storage tank 4 configured in this way, the molecules of the water L can be spin-vibrated and rotated in the helical tube 43. The water L whose molecules are still spin-vibrated and rotated can be supplied to the drive unit 6, so that the drive unit 6 can be driven with a large force. Therefore, the power generation device 1 has excellent power generation efficiency.

[0048] As described above, the power generation method using the power generation device 1 is a power generation method in which water L (liquid) is pressurized and discharged by pressure pumps 2A and 2B, the water L discharged from the pressure pumps 2A and 2B is stored in the storage tank 4, nitrogen (gas) is introduced into the storage tank 4 to pressurize the water L in the storage tank 4, the drive unit 6 is driven by collision with the water L discharged from the storage tank 4, and the drive unit 6 drives the power generation unit 9 to generate power, the storage tank 4 has a tank body 41 for storing the water L, and a spiral tube 43 spirally wound around the inner surface of the tank body 41, and the water L discharged from the pressure pumps 2A and 2B is introduced into the tank body 41 via the spiral tube 43.

[0049] The above describes the power generation device, storage tank, and power generation method of the present invention in the illustrated embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the configurations and steps of each part can be replaced with any configurations and steps having similar functions. [Industrial Applicability]

[0050] As described above, the power generating device 1 according to the present invention includes the pressure pumps 2A and 2B that pressurize and send out the water L (liquid), the storage tank 4 that stores the water L (liquid) sent out from the pressure pumps 2A and 2B, the gas introduction unit 5 that introduces nitrogen (gas) into the storage tank 4 and pressurizes the water L in the storage tank 4, the drive unit 6 that is driven by collision with the water L (liquid) discharged from the storage tank 4, and the power generating unit 9 that generates power by driving the drive unit 6. The storage tank 4 includes a tank body 41 that stores the water L, and a helical tube 43 that is provided spirally around the inner circumferential surface of the tank body 41, and the water L sent out from the pressure pumps 2A and 2B is introduced into the tank body 41 through the helical tube 43. With this configuration, the molecules of the water L can be spin-vibrated and rotated by the helical tube 43, so that the drive unit 6 can be driven with a larger force. As a result, the power generating device 1 has excellent power generation efficiency. The storage tank and the power generation method according to the present invention are therefore highly applicable in industry. [Explanation of symbols]
