Description
A method for capturing dark energy Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flywheel energy storage, and in particular to a dark energy capturing method. Background Art
[0002] The idea of flywheel energy storage was proposed over a century ago, but due to the limitations of current technology, no breakthroughs were achieved for a long time. It wasn't until the 1960s and 1970s that NASA's Glenn Research Center began using flywheels as energy storage batteries on satellites. Since the 1990s, breakthroughs in the following three areas have opened up new opportunities for the development of flywheel energy storage technology. Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the existing flywheel energy storage structure.
[0003] (1) The emergence of high-strength carbon fiber composite materials (tensile strength up to 8.27GPa) has greatly increased the kinetic energy storage per unit mass.
[0004] (2) The rapid development of magnetic levitation technology and high-temperature superconducting technology has reduced the friction loss and wind resistance of flywheel rotors to a minimum.
[0005] (3) The development of electronic power technology has led to a breakthrough in the conversion technology of electric motors / generators, providing an advanced means for exchanging kinetic energy stored in flywheels with electrical energy. This has increased the conversion efficiency to over 90%. The energy storage flywheel is a high-tech mechatronics product with broad application prospects in aerospace, high-power electromagnetic guns, power peak regulation (UPS), automotive industry, and other fields.
[0006] However, when a flywheel that is too large and heavy rotates at high speed, it will be subjected to a huge centrifugal force, which often exceeds the ultimate strength of the flywheel material and is very unsafe.
[0007] The present invention mainly has the following three innovations:
[0008] 1) Reduce the speed of the flywheel from tens of thousands of rpm to a few hundred rpm (for example, a 1 kg object is on a turntable with a radius of 1 meter and a speed of 300 rpm, and the centrifugal force can be about 1T).
[0009] 2) Increase the diameter of the solid flywheel and change it to a hollow, lightweight structure with strong tensile strength, like a peak nest. Place a cylinder, piston, and energy storage tank in each nest hole as needed to form a centrifugal force collector. When the speed is 300 / min, for example, a 10 kg piston has a pressure of 10 tons, pressing air and liquid into the energy storage tank through a one-way valve. When the piston reaches the end, it triggers the limit valve to switch the motor to the power generation state. At the same time, the output valve of the energy storage tank opens to make the pneumatic motor or oil motor work under the turntable to push the flywheel to accelerate power generation. After a period of time, when the inertia of the flywheel and the kinetic energy of the energy storage tank are exhausted, the huge centrifugal force on the piston disappears, and the piston is easily pulled back by the return spring to re-inhale air or liquid. After it is full, the touch sensor switches to electric state, and the flywheel is rotated to regain inertia, deriving centrifugal force (that is, the captured dark energy). Just like this, one breath, one yin and one yang, in accordance with nature, over and over again, the spatial energy in the surrounding air, that is, dark energy, is converted into electrical energy, hydraulic energy, and air energy, opening up a new era space for new energy.
[0010] 3) The improved flywheel, like the energy storage flywheel, utilizes efficient mechatronics and magnetic levitation technology. While this represents only a minimally invasive modification of the flywheel structure, it requires a bold process of intellectual liberation and a correct understanding of centrifugal force. For centuries, it was considered a futile and burdensome force. However, general relativity has shown that this centrifugal force, generated by the distortion of spacetime by curved motion, is a manifestation of dark energy. This method uses curved motion to capture dark energy, converting it into centrifugal force → air energy → electrical energy → hydraulic energy. This process adheres to the laws of conservation of angular momentum and energy conservation. We believe that this flywheel energy generation technology will have a promising future and take a significant step towards resolving the energy crisis. Summary of the Invention
[0011] In view of the above-mentioned technical deficiencies, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a centrifugal collector to solve the problems raised in the background technology.
[0012] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0013] The present invention provides a centrifugal force collector, comprising a housing, a main shaft and a motor / generator, wherein the main shaft passes through the housing and is fixedly installed in the housing;
[0014] The shell includes an outer shell and an inner shell, and the outer shell includes an upper shell and a lower shell. The inner wall of the top of the upper shell is located on the left and right sides of the main shaft, and a pneumatic or oil-driven original control cabinet and an electronic current distribution cabinet are fixedly installed respectively. A plurality of cylinders / oil cylinders are installed on the main shaft below the electric / generator, and an upper high-pressure gas or oil storage tank and an upper low-pressure reflux tank plus a radiator are installed on the left and right sides above the cylinders / oil cylinders. A piston is slidably connected to the inner wall of the plurality of cylinders / oil cylinders near the main shaft, and a return spring is provided on the side of the piston near the main shaft. The middle part of the upper middle part of the lower shell is semicircular, and an external magnetic block is fixedly installed on the semicircular inner wall of the lower shell. A pneumatic motor or hydraulic motor is installed above the second bearing, and an inner magnetic block is installed on the inner wall of the inner shell. The polarity of the inner magnetic block and the outer magnetic block are opposite, and a lower high-pressure gas or oil storage tank and a lower low-pressure reflux tank plus a radiator are installed on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the upper end of the inner shell.
[0015] Preferably, the upper end of the main shaft is connected to the mounting position of the upper shell through a bearing 1, a magnetic bearing is installed below the bearing 1, and the motor / generator is installed below the magnetic bearing.
[0016] Preferably, the plurality of air cylinders / oil cylinders are provided with an output one-way valve and an input one-way valve at one end away from the main shaft.
[0017] Preferably, the main shaft is connected to the lower housing at its mounting location via a second bearing, a working wheel track is provided between the lower housing and the second bearing, and a working wheel is installed on the pneumatic motor or hydraulic motor.
[0018] Preferably, the lower high-pressure gas or oil storage tank, the lower bottom-pressure reflux tank plus a radiator, the multiple cylinders / oil cylinders, and the upper high-pressure gas or oil storage tank and the upper bottom-pressure reflux tank plus a radiator are bundled together by high-strength carbon fiber.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0020] The present invention relates to a centrifugal force collector. An electric motor / generator drives the main shaft to rotate. The air cylinder / oil cylinder fixed on the main shaft, the upper high-pressure gas or oil storage tank, the lower high-pressure gas or oil storage tank, the upper bottom-pressure reflux tank plus a radiator, the lower bottom-pressure reflux tank plus a radiator, the inner shell and the pneumatic motor or hydraulic motor all rotate together. The inner magnetic block and the outer magnetic block generate magnetic suspension. The piston in the cylinder / oil cylinder quickly generates centrifugal force. When the centrifugal force reaches the design requirement, the high-pressure gas is output from the output one-way valve into the upper high-pressure gas or oil storage tank and the lower high-pressure gas or oil storage tank. When the high-pressure gas in the cylinder / oil cylinder is exhausted, the piston reaches the top and triggers the limit valve. The positioner sends a signal to the electronic current distribution cabinet, switching the electric motor / generator to a generator. At this time, the overall inertia is maximum and it starts to generate electricity. When the inertia of the turntable is insufficient, the pneumatic or oil-operated control cabinet is triggered to open the high-pressure gas tank valve to drive the pneumatic motor or hydraulic motor to work, and then continue to generate electricity until the upper and lower high-pressure gas or oil storage tanks are exhausted. At this time, the centrifugal force on the piston disappears, and the return spring pulls the piston back to inhale air. When the cylinder / oil cylinder is full of air or hydraulic oil, the electronic current distribution cabinet switches back to the motor mode again and repeatedly rotates the main shaft. In this way, the centrifugal force is converted into energy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] Example:
[0029] As shown in FIG1 , the present invention provides a centrifugal force collector, comprising a housing, a main shaft 4 and a motor / generator 5 , wherein the main shaft 4 passes through the housing and is fixedly installed in the housing;
[0030] The shell includes an outer shell and an inner shell 3, and the outer shell includes an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2. The upper end of the main shaft 4 is connected to the installation position of the upper shell 1 through a bearing 6, and a magnetic bearing 7 is installed below the bearing 6. The electric motor / generator 5 is installed below the magnetic bearing 7. The inner wall of the top end of the upper shell 1 is located on the left and right sides of the main shaft 4, and a pneumatic or oil-driven original control cabinet 8 and an electronic current distribution cabinet 9 are fixedly installed respectively. A plurality of cylinders / oil cylinders 10 are installed on the main shaft 4 below the electric motor / generator 5, and an upper high-pressure gas or oil storage tank 11 and an upper low-pressure reflux tank plus a radiator 12 are installed on the left and right sides above the cylinder / oil cylinder 10 respectively. A piston 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the plurality of cylinders / oil cylinders 10 near the main shaft 4. A return spring 14 is provided on the side of the piston 13 near the main shaft 4, and an output check valve 15 and an input check valve 16 are provided on the end of the plurality of cylinders / oil cylinders 10 away from the main shaft 4;
[0031] The main shaft 4 is connected to the lower shell 2 at the mounting point through bearing 2 17. There is a working wheel track 18 between the lower shell 2 and bearing 2 17. The upper middle part of the lower shell 2 is semicircular. An external magnetic block 19 is fixedly mounted on the semicircular inner wall of the lower shell. A pneumatic motor or hydraulic motor 24 is mounted above the bearing 2 17. A working wheel (not marked in the figure) is mounted on the pneumatic motor or hydraulic motor 24. An inner magnetic block 20 is mounted on the inner wall of the inner shell 3. The inner magnetic block 20 and the outer magnetic block 19 have opposite polarities. A lower high-pressure gas or oil storage tank 21 and a lower bottom-pressure reflux tank plus radiator 22 are respectively mounted on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the upper end of the inner shell 3. The lower high-pressure gas or oil storage tank 21 and the lower bottom-pressure reflux tank plus radiator 22, multiple cylinders / oil cylinders 1 and an upper high-pressure gas or oil storage tank 11 and an upper bottom-pressure reflux tank plus radiator 12 are bundled together by high-strength carbon fiber 23.
[0032] Working principle:
[0033] The present invention provides a centrifugal force collector. First, the electronic current distribution cabinet 9 switches to the electric mode, and the electric / generator 5 drives the main shaft 4 to rotate. The cylinder / oil cylinder 10 fixed on the main shaft 4, the upper high-pressure gas or oil storage tank 11, the lower high-pressure gas or oil storage tank 21, the upper bottom pressure reflux tank plus radiator 12, the lower bottom pressure reflux tank plus radiator 22, the inner shell 3 and the pneumatic motor or hydraulic motor 24 all rotate together. The inner magnetic block 20 and the outer magnetic block 19 generate magnetic suspension. The piston 13 in the cylinder / oil cylinder 10 quickly generates centrifugal force. When the centrifugal force reaches the design requirement, the output one-way valve 15 outputs high-pressure gas into the upper high-pressure gas or oil storage tank 11 and the lower high-pressure gas or oil storage tank 21. When the high-pressure gas in the cylinder / oil cylinder 10 is exhausted, the piston 13 When it reaches the top, the limiter is triggered and a signal is sent to the electronic current distribution cabinet 9, which switches the electric motor / generator 5 to a generator. At this time, the overall turntable inertia is maximum and starts to generate electricity outward. When the turntable inertia is insufficient, the pneumatic or oil-operated original control cabinet 8 is triggered to open the high-pressure gas tank valve to drive the pneumatic motor or hydraulic motor 24 to work, and then continue to generate electricity until the upper high-pressure gas or oil storage tank 11 and the lower high-pressure gas or oil storage tank 21 are exhausted. At this time, the centrifugal force on the piston 13 disappears, and the return spring 14 pulls back the piston 13 to inhale air (one atmosphere or several atmospheres designed as needed). When the cylinder / oil cylinder 10 is full of air or hydraulic oil, the electronic current distribution cabinet 9 switches back to the motor mode again and repeats the rotation of the main shaft. In this way, the centrifugal force is converted into energy.

Thus, if such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such changes and modifications.
