[0001] METHOD AND DEVICE OF REACTIVE PROPULSION

[0002] Description

[0003] Cloud of technology

[0004] The device and method can be used for multiplied jet propulsion from a built-in power device that creates jet thrust, such as a turbine, propeller, pump or their functional analogues.

[0005] State of the art

[0006] Jet, propeller and "propellerless" devices for creating air flow (turbines, propellers, fans, drones and others) are known, as well as devices with sails for capturing wind energy. Devices and / or methods for multiplying the jet thrust of a built-in power device are not known.

[0007] The essence of the invention

[0008] The objective of the present invention is to create a device and method for multiplying the reactive thrust of a built-in power device that creates reactive thrust in a floating or flying vehicle, such as a turbine, propeller, pump or their functional analogues.

[0009] In one aspect, the device according to the invention consists of the following elements:

[0010] - fluid chamber;

[0011] - one or more built-in reactive power devices directed in the direction of travel;

[0012] - the fluid chamber is connected to one or more outlet nozzles directed in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of the vehicle;

[0013] - the fluid chamber is connected to one or more inlet nozzles located in a plane different from the plane of the outlet nozzles and / or transverse to it, and directed in the direction of movement of the vehicle; - a mounting grid located on the hull of a floating or flying apparatus, with a fluid chamber, one or more reactive power devices, outlet and inlet nozzles fixedly attached to the mounting grid; in one embodiment, one or more reactive power devices are located at the input of one or more syringe manifolds with an annular nozzle and radial wires fixed to the mounting grid; in another embodiment, one or more buffers with an aerodynamic drag coefficient greater than 1 are located after one or more syringe manifolds on the mounting grid;

[0014] - in another version, after the buffers there is a nose protector, fixed to the mounting grid;

[0015] - in another embodiment, one or more reactive power devices are covered by a stern protector, also attached to the mounting grid.

[0016] In another aspect, the invention relates to a method for multiplying the jet thrust of a vehicle using a built-in propulsion device that creates jet thrust in a floating or flying vehicle, such as a turbine, propeller, pump or their functional analogues, which comprises the following steps:

[0017] - step 1: when one or more built-in reactive power devices directed in the direction of movement of the vehicle are triggered, one or more built-in reactive power devices direct a fluid stream in the direction of movement, as a result of which one or more power devices experience a counteraction, which is transmitted to the body through the mounting grid;

[0018] - step 2: the fluid jet creates a low pressure zone behind one or more reactive power devices, which exert a thrust of attraction in the direction of movement on the adjacent rear part of the chamber or on the stern protector, which thrust is transmitted to the hull through the mounting grid; - step 3: the fluid jet exerts pressure on the front part of the chamber or on the bow protector, which is transmitted to the hull through the mounting grid;

[0019] - step 4: after the fluid jet collides with the front part of the chamber or with the nose protector, it changes its direction and passes through one or more outlet nozzles backwards in relation to the direction of movement, thus transmitting reactive acceleration to the body;

[0020] - step 5: simultaneously with step 4, the low pressure region behind one or more reactive power devices is filled with fluid flows coming from the direction of movement through the inlet nozzles, which imparts a reactive acceleration to the body, such that the jets from one or more outlet nozzles and from the inlet nozzles do not oppose each other;

[0021] - as a result of the above steps, the vehicle body is subjected to a multiplied traction force.

[0022] In one embodiment, step 4 includes further passing the fluid jet through the annular nozzle of one or more syringe manifolds and then continuing in the form of a vertical ring / cylinder, which causes fluid “inducement and entrainment” effects, thereby achieving a cumulative increase in the fluid jet.

[0023] In another embodiment, step 4 further includes applying a fluid jet to one or more buffers with a drag coefficient greater than 1, which causes a mechanical impulse that is transmitted to the housing through the mounting grid.

[0024] Description of figures

[0025] Figure 1 is a top view / longitudinal section of the device according to the present invention with a fluid chamber, one outlet and two inlet nozzles.

[0026] Figure 2 is a three-dimensional view / section of the device with a syringe manifold, buffer, nose protector and stern protector.

[0027] Examples of implementation

[0028] Figure 1 shows one embodiment of the device according to the present invention. The device consists of the following elements: a fluid chamber (1) mounted on the hull (2) of a floating craft (vessel); one onboard marine propulsion engine (3) directed in the direction of travel; the fluid chamber (1) is connected to one lower outlet nozzle (4) directed in the direction opposite to the direction of travel, and to one left and one right aft inlet nozzles (5) directed forward, in the direction of travel; all elements (1)-(5) are held in a fixed position by a mounting grid (6).

[0029] When operating, when the engine (3) with power P is switched on, it sends a flow of water with volume V in the direction of movement and experiences negative resistance -P, according to Newton’s third law, which is transmitted through the mounting grid (6) to the body (2).

[0030] A) Fl = -P

[0031] In this case, the water jet creates a low pressure area [1] behind the engine (3) and exerts a thrust of attraction P on the adjacent rear part of the chamber (1) in the direction of movement [1], which thrust is transmitted to the body (2) through the mounting grid (6).

[0032] B) F2 = P

[0033] As the water continues to move forward, it impacts the front of the chamber.

[0034] (1) pressure P, according to Newton's third law, which is transmitted to the body

[0035] (2) through the mounting grid (6).

[0036] C) F3 = P

[0037] After the collision, the water jet changes its direction and passes through the outlet nozzle (4), returning straight to the direction of movement, simultaneously transmitting to the body (2) a reactive acceleration P, according to Newton's third law.

[0038] D) F4 = P

[0039] In this case, the low-pressure area behind the engine (3) is filled with water flows coming from the direction of travel through the inlet nozzles (5), and simultaneously transmits to the body (2) a reactive acceleration P, according to Newton's third law. Due to the location in different horizontal planes, the water jets from the outlet nozzle (4) and from the inlet nozzles (5) do not oppose each other.

[0040] TO A FRIEND.

[0041] E) F5 = P From the above conclusions A), B), C), D) and E) it follows that when the engine (3) is operating with power P, the total thrust force F of magnitude ЗР acts on the body (2). The device continues its operation until the engine (3) is switched off.

[0042] F)

[0043] Figure 2 shows another version of the device. The device consists of the following elements: a body (2) of an electric airplane (drone-quadcopter) with four built-in jet engines (3), in this case four propellers (3); all engines (3) are located at the entrance to the syringe manifold (7) with an annular nozzle (8) and radial wires (9); above the manifold (7) there is a buffer (10) in the form of a semicircular flat panel; above the buffer (10) there is a nose protector (11); the device has two built-in double-sided outlet nozzles (4) directed downwards and opposite to the direction of travel, and two built-in double-sided inlet nozzles (5) directed upwards, in the direction of travel; when viewed from above, the two pairs of nozzles (4) and (5) are located transversely to each other; the propellers (3) are covered by a stern protector (12), and all elements (2)-(12) are held in a fixed position by a mounting grid (6).

[0044] In their action, when the propellers (3) are triggered with power P, they direct a stream of air with a volume V in the direction of movement (upward), and experience negative counteraction -P, which is transmitted to the body (2) in accordance with Newton’s third law.

[0045] A) Fl=-P

[0046] In this case, the air stream creates a low-pressure area under the propellers (3) and exerts a lifting thrust of attraction P [1] on the stern protector, which is transmitted to the hull (2) through the mounting grid (6).

[0047] B) F2=P

[0048] Continuing its upward movement, the air stream passes through the annular nozzle (8) of the syringe manifold (7) and continues to move in the form of a vertical ring / cylinder, which causes fluid effects of “inducement and entrainment” (“inducement and entrainment effects”), and due to them increases the air stream up to 15 or more times compared to the original one [2]. This stream meets the buffer (10), which, due to its shape, has an aerodynamic drag coefficient of 2.3 [3] and, thus, experiences a lifting force of 34.5P (= 15 x 2.3), according to Newton’s third law, which is transmitted to the body (2) via the mounting grid (6).

[0049] C) F3=34.5P

[0050] Continuing its upward movement, the cumulative air stream reaches the nose protector (11) and transfers to it a lifting force of 15P according to Newton’s third law, which is transferred to the body (2) through the mounting grid (6).

[0051] D) F4=15P

[0052] After the collision, the air stream changes its direction and passes through two exhaust nozzles (4) directed downwards, or backwards in relation to the direction of movement, and simultaneously transmits a reactive acceleration of 15P to the body (2), according to Newton's third law.

[0053] E) F5=15P

[0054] At the same time, the low-pressure area under the four propellers (3) and under the syringe manifold (7) is filled with air flows coming from above, from the direction of travel through a pair of inlet nozzles (5) and through radial wires (9), thereby transmitting to the housing (2) a reactive acceleration of 15P, according to Newton's third law. Due to the arrangement in different vertical planes, the air streams from the pair of outlet nozzles (4) and the pair of inlet nozzles (5) do not oppose each other.

[0055] F) F6 = 15P

[0056] From the above conclusions A), B), C), D), E) and F) it follows that when the propellers (3) operate with power P, a total lifting force F of 79.5P acts on the body (2). The device continues its operation until the propellers (3) are switched off.

[0057] D)

[0058] Application of the invention

[0059] The device and method can be used in the composition of jet propulsion systems of water, air or vacuum devices, especially with an electric drive, to increase their energy efficiency many times (three times or more) due to such effects as expanded internal circulation of fluid, directed high aerodynamic resistance and others. The device is applicable to all transport systems operating on the jet principle.
