[0002] DESCRIPTION

[0003] STATE OF THE ART

[0004] This invention relates to machine plants for the production of electricity from hydro potential and according to the international classification (MK P) is classified as: F3 OC, F16H.

[0005] TECHNICAL PROBLEM

[0006] The basic drawback of all the technical solutions applied so far for the use of hydropotential energy for the production of electricity is the inevitability of providing a large amount of hydropotential, by blocking watercourses with expensive and large dams or by diverting large and fast river flows with demanding and expensive pipelines to the turbine as a mechanical system that drives generator as a source of electricity.

[0007] All these solutions cause significant changes in river courses and their surroundings and require long-term and expensive construction works to create all the required conditions for the operation of such facilities.

[0008] TECHNICAL BACKGROLNH

[0009] Previous solutions with large and expensive hydroaccumulations had to keep the lake level high due io the significant amount of water that came through pipelines to a vertical or horizontal turbine that drove a generator connected to it directly via a shaft. In this way, it was possible to obtain the facilities for foe production of electricity only with a much smaller capacity than thermal or nuclear power plants. Increasing the capacity of these systems was the expensive introduction of one or more turbines and generator plants.

[0010] All these plants, especially power plants with flow turbines, of even smaller capacity, required large amounts of waler from the hydro potential and depended a lot on the annual inflow of water from the hydro potential.

[0011] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0012] The primary goal of the invention is to obtain a large amount of easily controlled mechanical energy on the generator shaft, to use the hydropotential energy in the original form of the natural water flow without expensive construction interventions and expensive turbine plants. It is important to say that the proposed system can be easily controlled during operation, maintained and expanded, and provides minimal losses in the transmission of mechanical energy from the source to the generator shaft. The original significance of this invention is the stable and enormous amount of mechanical energy produced by foe machine plant. This machine plant includes primarily a tubular spindle with blades cycloidal ly placed in several cycloids along foe axis of the spindle, and It is supported on pontoons that are tied to the shore by a gun carriage, so that the lower part of the spindle with blades is always in the grip of the water flow. Only the spindle with its length, depending on the required power, is placed horizontally on the river flew and only in the part of the blades is immersed in the water. The pontoons that are at the ends of the spindles also have hydraulic liners in case of the need to lift the spindle out of the water to stop the rotation of the spindle, overhaul, etc.

[0013] The enormous mechanical energy from the blades and spindles is transmitted via gimbal connections at the end of the spindles and bearings to the telescopic gimbal which compensates for possible vertical movements of the entire system of spindles with pontoons due to water level oscillations.

[0014] At the end of the cardan shaft system is a transfer box and a hydraulic coupling for the connection with the shaft of the horizontal generator as a source of electricity. All necessary construction works are minimal, especially for the machine plant, and standard solutions are applied for the generator, as for any horizontal generator,

[0021] DETAILED DESTRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] The invention relates to a mechanical plant solution, for the production of electricity with a generator of 1-50 MW.

[0023] The pipe with a diameter of 600mm and a length of 6000mm is processed so that the supports- carriers of the vanes are cycloidaily distributed along the spindle, 'The 1... profile is welded on the pipe up to 300mm,

[0024] The blades themselves are 1000x1000mm in diameter with oval depressions (as shown in Fig, 2) with a water intake of lms, ail arranged alternately and cycloidal ly in six cycloids along the axis of the spindle lube. At the end of the spindle, cardan transmissions are mounted in its axis, which enable the complete spindle with pontoons to move along a horizontal axis on the river watercourse.

[0025] In the following, the gimbal system passes through a double-seated support and continues to the telescopic gimbal with another gimbal shaft in the extension of the telescope, and whereby we got enough distance on the shore to set up the transfer box and hydro coupling to which the generator shaft 1 -50 MW is attached.

[0026] On the watercourse itself, pontoons are tied to the shore by a carriage, as well as a system of hydraulic lifting of the spindle with paddles if necessary.

[0027] A protective metal net is placed in front of the entire system, which removes possible mechanical objects that float in the water stream that could damage the spindle and blades.

[0028] This kind of application of the invention enables in its simplicity, a large concentration of electricity production in a small location without large means and without large and expensive construction works on the watercourse and avoiding any damage to the environment.

[0029] By simply placing several tube spindles with blades one behind the other or increasing its length, and if the water flow allows it, a large amount of mechanical energy can be further obtained, which is later transmitted through the cardan system to one or more generator units.

[0030] With a common multi-voltage plant and transmission lines, energy is easily transmitted to the nearest energy system.
