[0012] These and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] 1 is a sketch of a solar thermodynamic generator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a solar thermodynamic generator in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, comprising: a quartz window 3 placed on the metal shell 1 to form an electromagnetic resonant cavity structure for receiving solar energy; a ceramic conduit 4 placed in the metal shell 1, in which the working medium is heated by solar energy; a heat exchanger 14 placed in a vacuum insulated oil tank 15, the heat exchanger 14 communicating with the ceramic conduit 4 through a first pipeline and a second pipeline, the working medium flowing through the first pipeline into the heat exchanger 14 to transfer heat energy from the ceramic conduit 4 to the heat exchanger 14, and returning through the second pipeline to the ceramic conduit 4; a steam generator 13 located in a vacuum insulated oil tank 15, heated by a heat exchanger 14 to generate steam; a ceramic heating tube 34 disposed in the combustion chamber 23, the combustion chamber 23 heating the ceramic heating tube 34 through combustion, the ceramic heating tube 34 communicating with the vacuum heat-insulating oil tank 15 through a third pipeline and a fourth pipeline, the oil in the vacuum heat-insulating oil tank 15 flowing into the ceramic heating tube 34 through the third pipeline, being heated and then returning to the vacuum heat-insulating oil tank 15 through the fourth pipeline, thereby maintaining the temperature in the vacuum heat-insulating oil tank 15 within a preset range; and and a turbine 9 in communication with a steam generator 13 through a fifth pipeline and a sixth pipeline, wherein steam flows into the turbine 9 through the fifth pipeline and returns to the steam generator 13 through the sixth pipeline to drive the turbine 9, which in turn drives a turbine generator 33 to generate electricity.

[0015] According to the present invention, a specially designed electromagnetic wave resonant cavity is used to absorb solar energy. Based on the molecular wave resonance effect, the energy absorption efficiency can be significantly increased. The increased thermal energy is transferred to the steam generator 13 in the vacuum insulated oil tank 15 through the heat exchanger 14. As a result, the working medium of the steam generator 13 generates high-pressure steam, which drives the turbine to generate electricity.

[0016] Specifically, a resonant cavity electrode 2 is also placed within the metal shell 1, and the resonant cavity electrode 2 is connected to an electromagnetic wave transmitter 7 for emitting electromagnetic waves within the electromagnetic resonant cavity structure. The vacuum insulated oil tank 15 adopts high vacuum insulation method, which uses high strength material as external protection. There are several sealed ports on the vacuum insulated oil tank 15 to communicate with each part of the system.

[0017] Specifically, the first pipeline extends into the vacuum insulated oil tank 15 through the first sealed port 20, the second pipeline extends into the vacuum insulated oil tank 15 through the second sealed port 21, the third pipeline extends into the vacuum insulated oil tank 15 through the third sealed port 18, the fourth pipeline extends into the vacuum insulated oil tank 15 through the fourth sealed port 19, the fifth pipeline extends into the vacuum insulated oil tank 15 through the fifth sealed port 16, and the sixth pipeline extends into the vacuum insulated tank 15 through the sixth sealed port 17.

[0018] Specifically, the working medium storage tank 6 and the first circulation pump 5 are arranged in sequence on the second pipeline, the second circulation pump 32 is arranged in sequence on the third pipeline, the booster 8 is arranged in sequence on the fifth pipeline, and the cooling tower 10, the storage tank 11, and the third circulation pump 12 are arranged in sequence on the sixth pipeline.

[0019] Generally, the output power of the turbine 9 is proportional to the steam flow rate of the working medium, and changes in air pressure have little effect on the output power. Therefore, the present invention provides a pressure intensifier 8 at the front end of the turbine to keep the steam pressure stable.

[0020] Specifically, the combustion chamber 23 is equipped with an exhaust valve 22 and is connected to an internal combustion generator 24 for generating electricity through combustion. Specifically, the first fuel tank 26 sends a first fuel through a first relief valve 29 into the gas flow valve automatic control box 31, the second fuel tank 27 sends a second fuel through a second relief valve 28 into the gas flow valve automatic control box 31, the gas flow valve automatic control box 31 mixes the first fuel with the second fuel through a gas mixing chamber 30 to form a mixed fuel, and then the gas flow valve automatic control box 31 sends the mixed fuel to the combustion chamber 23 through a program-controlled ignition device 25 for combustion.

[0021] Specifically, the first fuel is a hydrogen fuel and the second fuel is a hydrogen silicon fuel. Specifically, the preset range of the temperature inside the vacuum insulating oil tank 15 is 115 to 120°C.

[0022] The hydrogen fuel (mixed hydrogen and hydrogen silicon fuel) can be used for auxiliary power generation through an internal combustion generator 24 or can be directly burned in a vacuum-sealed combustion chamber 23 to rapidly heat ceramic heating tubes 34 in such a way that the temperature of the vacuum insulated oil tank 15 is maintained at 115-120°C. The continuously circulating working medium generates critically supersaturated steam (working pressure generally above 3.5 MPa) to drive a turbine 9 to generate electricity.

[0023] Specifically, the steam generator 13 includes a porous graphene ceramic material and a copper conduit, the diameter of the porous graphene ceramic material is about 20 mm, and the internal pore size thereof is 2 to 3 mm.

[0024] The porous graphene ceramic material employs a novel carbon nano-sintering technology, which provides excellent thermal conductivity, compression resistance, corrosion resistance, and no cracks. The internal porosity is uniform, with a pore size of 2-3 mm and a diameter of approximately 20 mm. Typically, multiple layers of copper conduits are provided in the vacuum insulated oil tank 15. These are interconnected and typically several tens of meters long (the volume must be greater than one cubic centimeter and a certain flow rate, i.e., greater than one cubic meter per second, can be maintained). All copper conduits are submerged below the oil surface.

[0025] Compared with traditional solar power generation, the present invention is environmentally friendly, safe, low-cost, highly efficient, zero-pollution, zero-emission, and unaffected by weather or the environment. Like natural gas, the present invention can be configured to implement grid-connected power generation. Furthermore, after hydrogen fuel and hydrogen silicon fuel are mixed and burned, the waste hydrogen can be recycled and reused, thereby greatly reducing the consumption of hydrogen fuel. The present invention explores a new and effective technological route to realize the ideal development of new energy.

[0026] It will thus be seen that the objects of the present invention have been fully and effectively accomplished. The embodiments thereof have been shown and described for purposes of illustrating the functional and structural principles of the invention, and modifications may be made without departing from such principles. Accordingly, the present invention includes all modifications encompassed within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
