Description

[0001] "POWER MULTIPLIER ELASTIC HYPERMOTOR".

[0002] This patent application refers to a "POWER MULTIPLIER ELASTIC HYPERMOTOR" developed to optimize the energy efficiency of brushless electromechanical motors, intended for all high-performance applications requiring high torque and power with high efficiency in converting energy into work, whether stationary or for "moving" industrial machines or those embedded in motor vehicles, cars, drones, airplanes, and ships.

[0003] State of the Art

[0004] 002 “Energy efficiency refers to the optimized use of energy to perform a given task and involves minimizing waste and maximizing the conversion of energy into work.” Ensuring that “the various forms of energy combined at the input are transformed in the most effective and sustainable way possible.” Energy efficiency can be achieved through various measures, such as the use of more efficient disruptive technologies, such as those proposed here, the adoption of practices that reduce energy consumption, and increased awareness of the responsible use of energy.

[0005] 003 The pursuit of energy efficiency is important for several reasons: Reducing energy costs: using energy more efficiently and sustainably, both for individuals and businesses. Mitigating environmental impact: by reducing energy consumption, the amount of natural resources needed to generate it is also reduced, as well as the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere.

[0006] 004 Energy Security: Using energy more efficiently can help reduce dependence on imported energy sources, contributing to a country's energy security. Health Benefits: Reducing energy consumption can lead to decreased air and water pollution, which can have positive effects on human health. In short, energy efficiency is fundamental for our society, both present and future, so that we can ensure the sustainable use of the planet's available energy resources and mitigate the negative impacts associated with their excessive use and waste.

[0007] 005 "Green" vehicles began production in Japan in 1997 and can be of two types: those powered exclusively by electricity or by hybrid systems, which combine traditional fuels and electricity. One of the main advantages of electric cars is the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, one of the main contributors to global warming. Traditional cars emit CO2, a gas that is not toxic but contributes to the greenhouse effect. A purely electric vehicle, on the other hand, does not pollute. Another positive point is that there is less energy waste. A combustion engine is very inefficient; only 30% of the fuel is actually used, the rest is wasted as heat. An electric car, however, utilizes 90 to 95% of the energy.

[0008] 006 Energy efficiency in sustainable air mobility refers to optimizing energy-to-motion conversion systems and reducing the environmental impact associated with aviation. This involves developing and implementing technologies, practices, and policies that enable more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly flights. Here are some ways to achieve energy efficiency in sustainable air mobility: more efficient aircraft.

[0009] 007 The development of lighter, more aerodynamic aircraft with more efficient engines can significantly reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions per passenger-kilometer.

[0010] 008 In summary, energy efficiency in sustainable air mobility is essential to reducing the environmental impact of aviation and promoting a more sustainable future for air transport. This requires a holistic approach involving technological innovation, industry collaboration, government regulation, and public awareness.

[0011] Energy efficiency in industry is fundamental to reducing operational costs, minimizing environmental impact, and increasing the competitiveness of companies. Here are some ways in which energy efficiency can be achieved in industry through the development of: high-efficiency electric motors, LED lighting systems, control and automation systems—all actions that help optimize the efficient and responsible use of energy. By implementing energy efficiency measures in industry, companies can not only reduce their operational costs and environmental footprint but also improve their corporate image and competitive market position.

[0012] Electromagnetic levitation is a widely known technique used in high-speed trains and also in this electric hypermotor, where an electromagnetic current is applied to the stator coils, interacting and causing the rotor disc with magnets to rotate and levitate at high speeds. The speed is determined by a high-frequency / voltage electronic control process, thus suspending the rotor disc in a stable, frictionless position, counteracting the forces of gravity.

[0013] 011 Vacuum systems are widely known in engineering and used in industry. A vacuum system is a generic term for an arrangement of equipment used to generate a vacuum, which makes it possible to create an environment without gaseous fluids, using only air, thus eliminating all resistances that oppose a rotating system, consequently allowing the same force to multiply its resulting kinetic work.

[0014] 012 Refrigeration Systems: widely used in industry, these systems cool an environment through artificial means. There are various forms of refrigeration, but they are almost always associated with ventilation processes or the circulation of liquids and gases such as hydrogen and helium. Cryogenic systems, known technically and used in industry, are generic terms for an arrangement of equipment used to cool electromagnetic systems, creating an environment of very low temperatures, preventing heating and electrical resistance of the coils, increasing their efficiency, and enabling the use of superconducting materials with levitation properties.

[0015] 013 “Nanomaterials” are materials that possess unique properties due to their size on the nanometer scale, that is, they have dimensions on a scale of billionths of a meter (nanometers). These materials exhibit physical, chemical, and mechanical properties different from their macro-scale equivalents, which makes them useful in a wide range of industrial, technological, biomedical, and energy systems applications.

[0016] 014 Patent BRPI1104839-5 aims to generate electrical energy through aerodynamic force. It consists of a double turbine generating electrical energy, which contains two sets of distinct electromagnetic fields for energy generation, one located on the outer radius (1) and the other located on the inner radius of the turbine (2). These two generator sets are connected by blades (3) that have a variable angle to control the angular speed of the turbine. On the outer perimeter of the turbine propeller there is an automatic transmission (7) connected to a transmission system (9 or 10). The transmission system is coupled to the third generator set (11), which is activated when ambient conditions exceed a certain value. The generated energy, rectification, power summation, storage and distribution, as well as the activation of the third generator, are managed by the control CPU (16).

[0017] 015 Electronic Frequency Control, Hz, is widely known in engineering and used in industry. It is a generic term for an arrangement of equipment composed of hardware such as frequency / voltage inverters, intended for electronic speed control. They are highly efficient and economical, optimizing the operation of electric motors.

[0018] 016 The main objective of the present invention is: an electromechanical motor powered electrically by renewable energy sources, wind / solar, among others, which are optimized by its set of highly efficient operating systems, which makes use of computerized, electromagnetic, vacuum, and cooling control systems, which are combined to maximize in an unprecedented way the work capacity of the "elastic hypermotor", which is intended for a variety of high-performance tasks, from moving vehicles to powering industrial, stationary or onboard machines, which contributes to increasing the efficiency and range of electric vehicles.

[0019] 017 Another objective of this invention certificate is an innovative and exceptional efficiency in converting energy into work.

[0020] 018 Another objective of the present invention certificate is to obtain a mechanical power output greater than the electrical energy consumed.

[0021] 019 Another objective of the present invention certificate is to obtain a mechanical power output that is less than 100% of the total input energy.

[0022] 020 It is also the objective of this invention certificate to propose an innovative disruptive concept: the first elastic power-multiplying electric motor, an electromechanical machine with electronic speed control, high performance and high efficiency. To say that a motor is an elastic power-multiplying motor means that the Torque and Speed ​​quantities have been optimized from the design stage through the greater contribution of mechanical processes (associated with the better use of mechanical energies: potential and kinetic), maintaining the same electrical energy consumption at the input, "in this way we multiply the useful mechanical power at the motor output", its capacity to perform work, thus becoming the most efficient machines ever created to convert "Energy into Work".

[0023] 021 It is also the objective of this invention certificate, based on this high efficiency, to increase the autonomy of land, air and sea vehicles, performing a greater amount of work than the electrical energy consumed at the input, representing an environmental gain, using clean renewable energies, helping to reduce carbon emissions and increasing the lifespan of battery banks.

[0024] 022 It is also the objective of this invention certificate to develop propellers for sustainable air mobility: The “Electric Jet / Rotor Fan” propellers, the Hypermotor version for sustainable air mobility, where we replace the “Long Rotor Discs” (rotor discs with long lever arms) with “Wide Magnetic Rotor Propellers” (Figure 4) that interact with the “Stators” which are protected by a “Protective Duo” (“Protective Cover”). The “Electric Jet” propellers can replace current engines and turbines with excellent cost-effectiveness, as they are lightweight, compact, zero-emission, have high torque and power, are super economical, reduce costs and increase flight range.

[0025] 023 And another objective of this invention certificate is to improve the energy efficiency of electromechanical motors by taking advantage of regenerative braking during motor stops. This principle, in which the motor can be converted into a generator, is used in vehicles to increase their energy efficiency and can also be used for stationary industrial applications. “All the design innovation optimizations proposed here, when combined, represent the first steps towards a new technological leap,” a new sustainable energy revolution for sectors such as Industry, Services and Agriculture, in addition to the aforementioned mobility.024 It is also the objective of this invention certificate to establish new conceptual paradigms and a new design for electromechanical motors: where the energies: (1) Electromagnetic Energy, (2) Potential Mechanical Energy (Mass) and (3) Kinetic Mechanical Energy (Velocity), when combined at the input of an electromechanical motor system, are effectively transformed into 2 (two) quantities: Torque and Rotational Speed, which, when optimized (without increasing electrical energy consumption), determine the useful Power at the motor output (the work capacity) and are also transformed into “losses” (undesired forms of energy in the conversion processes).

[0026] 025 Torque: (“F” x “r”) “F” is electromagnetic energy effectively converted into motive force; it is the result of the magnetic torque, the interactions between the stator coils and the rotor magnets. “r” is the point of application of the force F. The point “r” (mechanical advantage of the levers) of application of the force is as important as the force “F” (electromagnetic motive force / magnetic torque) in determining the total force of a motor system, which is its total torque.

[0027] Speed:

[0028] 026 The geometric design (wide and thin disc) and the distribution of the center of mass of the rotor disc (associated with mechanical advantage) and the number of poles of the motor are as important as the electronic frequency control (electromagnetic) in determining the rotational speed (rpm) of the rotor.

[0029] Power:

[0030] 027 Useful Mechanical Power is the motor's work capacity; it is the result of Speed ​​x Torque = Useful Mechanical Power at the output.

[0031] Total System Energy:

[0032] 028 And the sum of the useful Mechanical Power at the output + the “losses” in the energy transformation processes, there are always losses, transformations into undesirable forms of energy in these processes, which can be minimized. Energy is conserved: Total Input Energy = Total Output Energy. 029 Note that in the formation of the “Quantities”: Torque and Velocity there are always contributions from 2 (two) parts, one Electrical and the other Mechanical. Which can be optimized independently. Maintaining the same consumption of “Electrical Energy” determined in our project, we can thus increase and optimize the “Mechanical Energies” independently, making them as relevant as electrical energy to determine the Total Energy of the system.

[0033] 030 Multiplying the Power = we increase the Torque and Speed ​​without increasing the consumption of Electrical energy at the system input.

[0034] 031 Torque: (“F” x “r”) “F” electromagnetic driving force, magnetic torque x “r” point of application of F, lever arm, mechanical advantage.

[0035] 032 We increase the rotor radius length, with long and thin rotor discs (increasing length with minimal weight increase) we increase the distance of point “r”, the point of application of the force, which is as important as the “F” (electromagnetic driving force) force in determining the motor torque. “The point “r” of the rotor disc depends on the “length of its radius”, it is a lever that multiplies the force applied to the rotor disc”.

[0036] 033 Increasing Speed ​​(rpm) through electronic control of high frequencies without increasing consumption.

[0037] 034 Therefore, “by optimizing the participation of processes associated with Mechanical Energies”, we can “multiply the useful mechanical output power while maintaining the same consumption of Electrical Energy at the input.

[0038] 035 In order to obtain a perfect understanding of what has been developed, these are only illustrative drawings to which numerical references are made together with a detailed description that follows drawings sequentially from the inside out of the generator, where the:

[0039] Figure 1 shows the main body of the assembled Hypermotor and its exploded view. Figure 2 shows the wide and thin rotor disc (2) and the stator (3) together and separately. Figure 3 shows the Hypermotor open inside the cover and closed. Figure 4 shows the “Rotor” configured as a large disc or as a propeller, and also the magnetic levitation configuration with “double set of coils, upper and lower in the Stator”, with a large rotor disc in the center.

[0040] Figure 5 shows how the same design can be reproduced at different scales for use in different applications, using the human scale as a reference. It also shows the modular manufacturing possibilities for electric propulsion turbines and demonstrates the ease of maintenance by removing only the necessary coils.

[0041] Figure 6 illustrates the possible high-performance, stationary (A) and air (B) and land (C) mobility applications where hypermotors can replace turbines, propellers and large electric motors.

[0042] Figure 7 demonstrates the logical processes, step by step, in the electro-mechanical conversion, from energy input to useful power output.

[0043] 036 As illustrated in the attached figures, in detail, the brushless “POWER MULTIPLIER ELASTIC HYPERMOTOR” consists of a “wide and thin rotor disc” (2) with magnetic tracks, magnets, where the radius of the disc acts as a lever that optimizes the motor's power. The large rotor disc (2) can be modified into a magnetic propeller design with magnetic tracks for applications in air mobility, thus becoming electric hyper turbines and hyper thrusters. The large rotor disc (2) forms the electromagnetic coupling field when it interacts electromagnetically with the stator coils (3), where the electrical energy creates the rotating driving field. In this interaction, the magnetic torque “F” and the mechanical torque “F xr” are defined. These systems are installed inside a protective chamber (4) formed by the union of two covers, upper and lower, which have traditional or magnetic bearings in their center.which function as bearings for the shaft (5) of the large rotor disc (2), possibly depending on the project requirements, this protective chamber (4) may or may not have a vacuum system, also within this chamber (4) are also, possibly depending on the application, the cooling systems (6), also on these covers are the inlets for the electronic control cables and any cooling systems. Outside this main body, connected by cables is the electronic control subsystem (7) which controls the speed by means of high frequencies, Hz and manages all other systems, composed of hardware, inverters and voltage transformers, with software specific to the control unit.

[0044] 037 The “POWER MULTIPLIER ELASTIC HYPERMOTOR” is powered from a power input from wind or solar sources, or from the alternating or direct current grid, which are together with the power ratings defined in the design of the stationary or onboard systems.

[0045] 038 Because it is innovative and not previously understood within the state of the art, it perfectly fits within the criteria that define an invention patent. Its claims are as follows.

POWER MULTIPLIER ELASTIC HYPERMOTOR, according to claims 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, characterized by having, outside the chamber and formed by the protective covers (6), connected to the stator (3) by cables, an electronic control subsystem, the frequency inverters (7) or “escs”, which electronically control the speed / torque, controlling the electro-electronic systems and processes at various power levels, above 10 kW. [0001] [0002]Declaration in accordance with Article 19(1) [0003] It was mentioned in the opinion that the subject matter of this patent application would violate the fundamental laws of physics. In light of this allegation, the application has been revised to demonstrate that there is no such violation. [0004]According to the first law of thermodynamics and the principle of conservation of energy, the total energy of a system is transformed and conserved; it cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. [0005]The law of conservation states that the total energy of a system is transformed and conserved. It does not state that it is electrical energy that is transformed and conserved. [0006]The total energy at the input is equal to the total energy at the output of the system. [0007]Therefore, the statement: the useful mechanical power at the output of an electric motor can never exceed the electrical power supplied at the input is incomplete, it is not fully in accordance with the laws of conservation, since it is only valid for current electric motors, as such motors only convert electrical energy at the input into work (useful mechanical work) at the output. [0008]Therefore, in this case, electrical energy is also the total energy of the system. [0009]But this statement is not true when it comes to hybrid systems, with more than one form of energy at the input. [0010]According to the laws of conservation, it would be more correct to state that the useful mechanical power at the output of an electric motor can never exceed 100% of the total power supplied at the input. In other words, it can never perform more work than 100% of the total energy that entered. [0011]Because the law of conservation says that we must observe the “total energy” of the system, we must consider all forms of energy acting on the system's input. It was not stated in the patent application that from now on a “current electric motor” will perform more work than the electrical energy (than the total energy that entered), this is impossible according to the law of conservation of energy. [0012] It is claimed that a new type of motor has been created, a new disruptive and revolutionary concept, the "hybrid elastic hypermotor" that converts two forms of energy: electrical energy and mechanical energy into useful work on the shaft (minus losses). And that the hybrid hypermotor is hyper-efficient. Because it is transforming "more than just electrical energy into work". The hypermotor is transforming the total energy (electrical + mechanical) at the input into useful work at the output. The hypermotor takes into account the losses that always occur in conversion processes. [0013]Therefore, the useful mechanical power, the work done at the output of a hybrid hypermotor, can never exceed 100% of the total power that entered the system. [0014]It can never do more work than the total energy that went in. [0015]The hypermotor differs from all current electric motors by converting two forms of energy, electrical and mechanical, into work, but it follows all the laws of conservation of energy and all the laws of physics, because these laws consider all forms of energy acting in a system.
