Description

[0001] Individual Turbocharged Hydroelectric Mechanism (ITHM)

[0002] DESCRIPTION

[0003] The invention relates to an individual hydroelectric mechanism, i.e., the production of electrical energy from renewable sources, specifically hydroelectric energy, which involves the utilization of the kinetic (potential) and subsequently mechanical energy of flowing water to produce electrical energy.

[0004] Renewable energy sources (RES) or green energy are forms of usable energy deri ved from natural processes. According to Directive 2009 / 28 / EC (Article 2: definitions), energy from renewable sources is defined as "‘energy from renewable sources’ means energy from renewable non-fossil sources, namely wind, solar, aerothermal, geothermal, hydrothermal and ocean energy, hydropower, biomass, landfill gas, sewage treatment plant gas and biogases;”

[0005] Hydroelectric plants (also known as hydroelectric stations) rely on the conversion of the potential - kinetic energy of water into electricity through a) the transformation of kinetic energy into mechanical energy and then b) the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy. Essentially and practically, the force of gravity drives the natural flow of water from high elevation to the sea. A hydroelectric station is interposed in this flow and utilizes (the flow, i.e., the kinetic energy) to rotate turbines. The rotation of the turbines generates mechanical energy, resulting in the turbines being connected to generators to produce electrical energy through their motion. Since hydroelectric energy cannot rely on the natural movement of water (via rivers, streams, etc.) due to the lack of stability in energy production, as a river may have a large volume of water during the rainy season but shrink during drought periods, a dam is often constructed to store the water. The dam holds the water in a reservoir, commonly known as an artificial lake. Dams are typically built in areas where the riverbed shows some inclination so that with the flow of water, the potential energy of the reservoir water is converted into kinetic energy. The ’water then reaches one or more turbines, devices equipped with fixed blades that convert the kinetic energy of the water into rotational motion, setting the turbine in motion . The axis of the turbine is directly connected to an electric generator, resulting in the conversion of kinetic energy into electrical current. The disadvantages of hydroelectric energy are as follows (indicatively mentioned): a) the unstable energy production when it depends on the kinetic energy of running water found in a natural water body (such as a stream or river), as the water volume directly depends on the seasons and rainfall in an area, which cannot be predicted or regulated, b) direct intervention in a natural habitat ; its radical transformation has an immediate impact on water resources and flora, resulting in the reduction or elimination of animal populations that inhabit or are directly connected to it, c) the construction of a dam and reservoir (artificial lake) practically causes the destruction of the river, as the river is now stopped at the dam, with consequences for the animal population, particularly the increase in fish mortality and their reproduction (as several fish species ascend to the river's source to multiply, which they can no longer do), d) the creation of a reservoir is practically the construction of an artificial lake, causing an area that was previously an arable land to be submerged, e) hydroelectric plants, particularly small ones, have higher production in winter when rainfall is greater compared to the summer and drought periods, f) high construction cost (especially for hydroelectric plants and large-scale dams), g) to produce kinetic energy and consequently electrical energy, enormous amounts of water must be used, which will move the blades of the turbine(s) of the hydroelectric plants, while simultaneously (in the case of darns) creating the height difference between the water reservoir level and the turbine's position. Similarly, there are issues with other renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic parks (panels), which have high production costs, require large installation areas (which, in this way, take up residential, arable lands, etc,), do not operate at night, and depend on weather conditions and sunshine, which cannot be predicted or regulated. The advantage of this invention is that we can harness our daily lives and the vast amounts of water we consume daily, both on an individual and production level. This invention exploits the already existing and installed water supply network globally and uses the water that will be used for another punpose (individual use or production use) and will ultimately end up in the sewer system. It manages, through two (2) kinetic energy production chambers, to generate high levels of rotational kinetic energy using small amounts of water (small water volume).

[0006] The present invention is an Individual Turbocharged Hydroelectric Mechanism (hereinafter ITHM) before or after the water meter that is installed and corresponds to each apartment (or generally property - business space). The invention consists of a motor, which fits in the palm of the hand and can operate with the water from the water supply network, is fully sealed, withstands pressure above ten (10) atmospheres, and requires only one water supply. The purpose of the above invention is to develop and eliminate the disadvantages of Renewable Energy Sources (RES), specifically hydroelectric power. While the normal operation of a Hydroelectric Station / Plant requires a large quantity of water, which will either naturally occur (c.g., through the normal flow of a river or stream) or artificially (through the creation of a reservoir - artificial lake), in this case, and through this invention, it is possible to use the amount of water used by each water supply and flows through the already installed water pipes in the city, which have a known diameter. This mechanism - invention needs to be fully sealed, show no leaks, and withstand high pressures. To achieve the highest efficiency of the invention, since the pressure of the water after the ITHM is reduced, resulting in both the efficiency of the mechanism and the pressure in the water supply network falling, we should take advantage of the pressure difference created between the ITHM and the central supply, which drops from six point two (6.2) atmospheres to two (2), through an expansion tank - turbocharger (K), with the aim of ensuring water reserve and stabilizing the water supply network, functioning as a twin water supply both in terms of pressure and the amount of water used.

[0007] It is worth noting that with the maximum possible pressure in the water supply system (“fully open faucet”) (6.2 atmospheres), within fifty-seven (57) seconds and using only twenty (20) liters of water passing through the ITHM, we achieve full electricity production exceeding fourteen (14) VOLT (and possibly more, which cannot be precisely determined in advance due to the voltage regulator). In contrast, a similar ITHM installed in a stream requires between eight (8) to sixteen point five (16,5) liters per second.

[0008] Upon activation of the water supply to a residential unit (or any individual property), the initial flow' originates from the central water supply line of the building or facility. The connection between the Individual Turbocharged Hydroelectric Mechanism (ITHM) and the main pipeline is established via a flexible hose (designated S — e.g., SI, S2, S3), with a minimum length of approximately one meter and a nominal diameter of 3 / 4. The ITHM is structurally integrated within an engine block (EB) and comprises the following primary components: Pre-chamber (B), Oval Turbine Chamber (H) — featuring an oval shape to optimize internal flow dynamics and turbine (E) efficiency and Final Chamber (FC) — serving a dual functional role; providing sealing for the mechanism and assisting the prechamber and its primary' water inlets in filling the oval turbine chamber (H) with water. In detail, the final chamber (FC) not only seals the mechanism and the pressure chambers (DIDIO) of the turbine blades (P1-P10) but also supports the pre-chamber (B), the main inlets (G1-G2) and outlets (K1-K2) in both filling and emptying the oval turbine chamber (H) with water. The pre-chamber (B), oval turbine chamber (H), and final chamber (FC) are locked together in a specific position using two guide pins (I), forming a sealed assembly. The component order is: pre-chamber (B) first, followed by the oval turbine chamber (H), and then the final chamber (FC).

[0009] Water enters the engine block through inlet A, from which it is directed into the pre-chamber (B) through the two main inlets of the ITHM (named Gl and G2). These inlets serve as the primary active water inlets to the system. Through Gl and G2, the water is directed into the turbine chamber (H), where its kinetic energy is converted into rotational energy. In parallel, the final chamber (FC) includes two extended inlet ports FGl and FG2, which represent the continuation of Gl and G2 respectively. The main inlets (Gl, G2) are located opposite and peripherally within the pre-chamber (B), and are specifically designed to channel and accelerate water into the oval turbine chamber (H), enabling the turbine (E) to rotate.

[0010] However, a portion of the water from Gl and G2 does not flow directly into the turbine chamber (H) to drive the blades. Instead, it passes through the chamber walls via internal conduits XI and X2, which connect Gl and G2 to FG1 and FG2 respectively. XI and X2 are two conduits that connect Gi and G2 to FGl and FG2 respectively. Thus, Gl aligns with XI and FGl and G2 aligns with X2 and FG2. This means, Gl fills the turbine chamber (H), but part of its flow is also routed via XI to FGl, and from there, through FGl back info the turbine chamber (H). The same process applies to G2, X2 and FG2. This configuration ensures more uniform and efficient filling of the oval turbine chamber (H), thereby optimizing the turbine's (E) performance, as water is delivered from both the primary inlets (Gl, G2) and the extended inlets (FGl, FG2).

[0011] The pre-chamber (B) also contains two smaller inlets, Pl and P2, which are positioned towards the center of the pre-chamber near the central axis (I ), opposite each other, and crosswise relative to the main inlets (Gl and G2). These smaller inlets, Pl and P2, form the pressure chamber entry, designed to open the blades Pl to PIO of the turbine (E). The inlets Pl and P2 lead into a 360-degree channel that surrounds the turbine (E). This channel supplies water pressure to ten pipes (DI to DIO), which then lead into a matching 360-degree channel (P360) in the final chamber (FC). Therefore, the pressure chamber is made up of the P1-P2 inlets, the 360-degree channel in the pre-chamber (B), the pipes DI to DIO, and the matching 360-degree channel (P360°) in the final chamber (FC). Water enters through Pl and P2, filling the 360-degree channel in the pre-chamber (B), and in turn, supplies the pipes DI to DIO, which are positioned at the base of the notches QI to Q10 where the blades Pl to PIO of the turbine (E) are mounted. The water flowing through pipes DI to DI O then reaches the 360-degree channel (P360) in the final chamber (FC), creating a pressure chamber whose purpose is to open the blades Pl to PIO of the turbine (E).

[0012] The turbine chamber (H) is oval -shaped, penetrated by the central axis (T), and has a greater narrowing (Nl, N2) at the point where the water enters (from the main inlets G1 and G2). As a result, the diameter of the chamber (Ol, 02) increases as the blades (Pl to PIO) of the turbine (E) move away from the main inlets (G 1 and G2), In a non-operating state, the blades PI to PIO are closed, and with the water pressure through pipes DI to DIO, they open and make contact with the chamber wall of the turbine chamber (H), ensuring a continuous seal with the oval chamber wall. At the same time, the rotational movement of the turbine blades is achieved by the movement of water passing through the main inlets G1 - G2 and FG1 - FG2. As the blades Pl to PIO rotate, the water pressure is relieved through the outlets (Kl- K2 and FK1-FK2), where the greatest diameter of the turbine chamber (H) (01, 02) is located, meaning the water escapes into the engine block (EB) through the outlets KI - K2 and FK1 - FK2, More specifically, the outlets KI and K2 are located between the main- central inlets G1 and G2 of the pre-chamber (B), where the full seal and contact between the pre-chamber (B) and the oval turbine chamber (H) are interrupted. The outlets FK 1 and FK2 of the final chamber (FC) are located between the inlets FG1 and FG2 of the final chamber (FC), where the full seal and contact between the final chamber (FC) and the oval turbine chamber (Fl) are interrupted as well. It is clear that water enters the turbine chamber (H) from two active inlets, G1 - FG1 and G2 - FG2, and exits from four outlets, KI - FK1 and K2 - FK2. The two central water inlets (G1 and G2) and their extensions (FG1 and FG2), along with the corresponding water outlets (K l-FKl) and (K2-FK2), divide the oval turbine chamber into two equal eccentric chambers in relation to the central axis (T). As a result, there are two chambers simultaneously producing kinetic energy, as during a 180-degree rotation of the turbine, the following processes take place continuously and simultaneously in both eccentric chambers: water intake, expansion, and immediate water discharge, as there are two outlets in each chamber of the turbine chamber.

[0013] The result of this process is that the turbine (E) is forced into rotational motion because it receives two forces simultaneously on its surface due to the positioning of the inlets (GI and G2) of the pre-chamber (B) and the inlets (FG1 and FG2) of the final chamber (FC), From the outlets (KI - K2 and FKl - FK2), the water is directed to the chamber (L) of the trunk and then pumped into the pipes (LI and L2) of each respective residential unit (or individual property’). The turbine is a cylindrical component perpendicular to the central axis (T), with ten blades (Pl to PIO) that are parallelogram-shaped and fit perfectly into the ten radial notches (QI to Q10) of the turbine (E). These blades open due to the thrust they receive from the water through the pipes DI to DI O, which are chambers formed at the base of the notches QI to Q10 and create chambers due to the placement of the blades Pl to PIO on the notches QI to Q10. The blades transfer the movement of the water to the turbine (E). The turbine (E) is connected to the central axis (T) through its gear hole (S), which engages with the gear - toothed notches (TS) of the central axis (T), The rotational motion of the turbine (E) and its engagement with the central axis (T) set the electric generator (M) in motion,

[0014] Finally, the central shaft (T), which passes through the turbine chamber (H) and engages with the turbine (E), is supported at one end bushing (FI) of the final chamber (point TI - bearing hub), while at the other end, after the pre-chamber (B), it is sealed with the engine block (EB) via a sealing gasket (C), centered in the engine block (EB) using a bearing (J) for smooth and stable rotation. Ultimately, it is connected to a dynamo - electric generator (M).

[0015] A drawback of integrating the ITHM system into the water supply network is that its operation burdens the performance both in terms of water pressure running through the engine and in terms of the water supply to the respective apartment / property. Thus, the efficiency of the ITHM depends on the water supply pressure, which is exploited for electricity' generation. This drawback of reduced water pressure in the respective apartment / property and the reduced efficiency of the engine will be mitigated by the creation of an expansion vessel - turbocharger (K). The expansion vessel - turbocharger (K) functions as a twin supply, maintaining the characteristics of the main supply (2) in both pressure and water volume, but in reality, it is a separate network that supplements the existing water supply network, with the final recipient being the respective property.

[0016] At this point, it should be mentioned for greater ease and understanding, and with reference to Diagram 2, that the discussion will refer to three ITHM mechanisms (referred to in Diagram 2 as ITHM I , ITHM2, ITHM3) along with their corresponding water supply pipes. The central water supply pipe (2) of an apartment building has a water pressure of 6.20 atmospheres. The pipes S (SI, S2, S3), each individually, are connected to the corresponding supply via a flexible hose with a diameter of three-quarters and a length of at least one meter. Therefore, each pipe S (SI, S2, S3) is connected to a T-junction (T) in the central supply of the ITHM and to the supply P (Pl, P2, P3) of the turbocharger (K). When the supply of the apartment / property (B3) is activated, the relief process begins, resulting in the movement and flow of water in 1THM3. At that moment, it is observed that the pressure of the water in the flexible hose connecting the supply S3 with ITHM3 decreases, specifically from 6.20 atmospheres to 2. The same observation is made in the corresponding T-junction (T3) of the supply (P3) of the turbocharger (K). In contrast, the other groups (SI , S2) and the apartment (DN) of the turbocharger (K) continue to have a pressure of 6.20 atmospheres. Due to this pressure difference, we experience the pressure relief (P3) and the movement of nearly the same amount of water as the central supply (S3) from the supply (P3) of the turbocharger into T3 and finally into ITHM3. In other words, where the output of the main supply is exhausted, the turbocharger (K) comes in to increase the output of the electric power by more than fifty percent (50%) and stabilize the supply to the apartment / property. This is achieved in the following way: a new flow of water, almost equal to the main supply (S3), enters with approximately the same pressure as the main one. Therefore, we have the combination of two forces (2, S3 + K, P3), resulting in an increase in power and the stabilization of the apartment / property (B3) operations.

[0017] The turbocharger (K) is an expansion vessel consisting of two equal chambers (DN, DA) separated by an elastic membrane (Z) for sealing. One chamber (DN), which must contain at least 100 liters of water, is connected through the corresponding supplies P (i.e., Pl, P2, P3) and the T-junctions (i.e., Tl, T2, T3) to the pipes S (i.e., SI, S2, S3), the supplies of the ITHM (i.e., ITHM1, ITHM2, ITHM3), and the supplies B (i.e., BI , B2, B3) of the property.

[0018] The other chamber (DA) is filled with air at atmospheric pressure, slightly lower than the water supply network pressure.

[0019] The expansion vessel - turbocharger (K) delivers additional water and pressure from its chamber DN when requested by one or more ITHM motors (e.g., ITHM3). Meanwhile, inactive ITHM (e.g., ITHM 1 and ITHM2) replenish the water through the supplies (Pl , P2) of the expansion vessel - turbocharger (K) using the flexible water pipes (SI, S2), which connect the building’s central water supply (2) with: a) the turbocharger (K) (via Pl, P2) and b) the ITHM (i.e., ITHM1, ITHM2), and consequently c) the property supplies BI, B2.

[0020] In other words, the corresponding supplies P (Pl. P2, P3) of the turbocharger (K) and the ITHM (i.e., ITHM1, ITHM2, ITHM3) will operate depending on the need and fill the turbocharger or supply the motor. Thus, we conclude that it is an additional water supply wave from an independent water network, the turbocharger (K), which replenishes and overcomes losses. It is important to note that the replenishment and water supply to the turbocharger (K) come from the inactive supplies of the (Si and S2) group. The water consumption of the acti ve (S3) network leads to a drop in the pressure and water volume in the DN chamber of the turbocharger (K), while the central supplies of the (S I, S2) group maintain the pressure at 6.20 atmospheres, ensuring the balance of pressure and water replenishment in the turbocharger’s (DN) chamber.

Claims

Individual Turbocharged Hydroelectric Mechanism (ITHM)CLAIMS 1 . Individual Turbocharged Hydroelectric Mechanism, which is installed in the water supply of a property and generates high levels of rotational kinetic energy by using small quantities of water (a small water volume). This mechanism is characterized by and consists of a engine block (EH), a pre-chamber (B), an oval turbine chamber (H), a final chamber (FC), a turbine (E), a central shaft (T), a dynamo - generator (M), and an expansion tank - turbocharger (K). The pre-chamber (B), the oval turbine chamber (H) and the final chamber (FC) are located inside the engine block (EB) and are locked together in a specific position using two guide pins (I), creating a chamber. The expansion tank - turbocharger (K) is located outside the motor and is connected to the mechanism via pipes, in order to ensure water reserve and stabilize the water supply network. It acts as a dual water supply, both in terms of pressure and quantity of the water used, forming a separate network that is added to the existing water supply network. This mechanism has two active water inlets, four water outlets, and the turbine has blades that perform reciprocating movements. The two active - central water inlets (G1 and G2) and their extensions (FG1 and FG2) as well as the corresponding water exits-outlets (K1-FK1) and (K2-FK2) divide the turbine chamber into two equal eccentric chambers relative to the central shaft (T). Both chambers together form an oval chamber (oval turbine chamber - H), resulting in two kinetic energy production chambers. As the turbine rotates 180 degrees (180°), simultaneous and continuous movements occur on its surface, i.e., in both eccentric chambers: water intake, release, and immediate water discharge, since there are two exits in each chamber of the turbine chamber. The smaller water inlets (Pl, P2) serve as the intake for the pressure opening chamber of the turbine blades (PIO) in the turbine (E), which (the pressure opening chamber) consists of the 360° channel of the inlets Pl, P2 from the pre-chamber (B), the chambers DI to D10, and the 360° channel in the final chamber (FC). The blades (P10) open due to the pressure exerted by the water in the chambers DI to DID, and subsequently reciprocate as a result of the turbine’s rotational motion and their contact wi th the wal ls of the oval turbine chamber, thus ensuring sealing throughout the rotation of the turbine .

Peripherally, it has ten radial notches (Q1-Q10) at equal distances, where ten blades (PIO) are applied. These blades are parallelogram-shaped and open due to the force exerted by the water through pipes DI to DIO, which are chambers created at the base of notches QI to Q10 and form chambers because the blades PIO are placed on the notches QI to QlO.

4. Individual Turbocharged Hydroelectric Mechanism according to claim 1 , characterized m that the final chamber (FC), which is identical - a "reflection" - of the pre-chamber (B) and functions as a seal for the entire mechanism, consists of: a) Two main inlets (FGl, FG2)(which are the extension and the final section of the main inlets Gl, G2); b) A circular channel of three hundred sixty degrees (360°) (P360), the extension - end of the inlets Pl - P2 and the circular channel to which they lead; e) Two outlets (FK1, FK2), which interrupt the full application and sealing o f the final chamber (FC) with the oval turbine chamber (H), resulting in relieving the water pressure at that point; d) Two umbilical points where the guide pins (I) are attached; e) A bearing / bushing (FI) that is used for centering with the central shaft (T), in the bearing node (TI).

5. Individual Turbocharged Hydroelectric Mechanism according to claim I, characterized in that the central shaft (T), which passes through the center of the turbine (E), is supported at one end in the bearing (FI) of the final chamber (FC) in the bearing - joint (TI) and continues with toothed notches (TS) to engage - connect - fit with the toothed hole (S) of the turbine (E). At the other end of the shaft (T) and after the pre-chamber (B), there is a sealing gasket (C) which seals the shaft (T) with the engine block (G). Following this, there is a seal - bearing (J) that centers the shaft (T) within the engine block (E) for stable rotation, and at the end, a dynamo - generator (M) is attached for generating electricity.

6. Individual Turbocharged Hydroelectric Mechanism according to claim 1, characterized in that it includes an expansion tank - turbocharger (K), which functions as a twin water supply both in terms of pressure and water volume, forming a separate network that is added to the existing water supply system, thereby increasing the performance of the electricity generation and stabilizing the water supply. The expansion tank - turbocharger (K) consists of an expansion tank divided into two (2) equal compartments (DN, DA), separated by an elastic sealing membrane (Z). The compartment (DN), which contains at least one hundred (100) liters of water, is connected to the mechanism [and consequently to the property’s water supply (Bl, B2, B3)] and external supplies of the respective property (SI, S2, S3) through the corresponding inlets (SP1, SP2, SP3) and outlets (T) (i.e., Tl, T2, T3). The other compartment (DA) is filled with air at a pressure slightly lower than that of the water supply system, resulting in hydraulic turbocharging and stabilizing the water supply system through the following process: The expansion tank - turbocharger (K) sends additional water and pressure to an activated Individual Turbocharged Hydroelectric Mechanism, while any inactive mechanisms replenish the water through the outlets, i.e,, the inactive ones from SP1 , SP2, SP3, using the water pipes (SI , S2, S3), Thus, the mechanism is powered through the combination of two forces (e.g., 2, S + K, P), namely the pressure of the water from the piping (S I ,S2,S3) and the pressure of the water from the tank (DN) and its correspondingsupply (P1,P2,P3), resulting in increased power and stabilization of the functions of the compartmen t / property.
