Abstract

The invention relates to a device for inserting bodies of air for renewable energy generation, comprising a hermetic chamber for inserting a body of air, which allows insertion into a body of water inside a container storing the static body of water on the bottom base, without water in the container having to be moved or water being lost from the container during the process. Once the body of air has been inserted into the container by means of the hermetic chamber for inserting floats into a body of water, the bodies of air are channeled, with a pushing force being generated as they travel to the surface, thereby driving a renewable energy generator, by means of a system of pulleys and a system of rotors and gears, to produce electricity.

Description

[0001] AIR BODY INSERTION DEVICE FOR POWER GENERATION

[0002] RENEWABLE

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present invention can be included in the technical field of renewable energy.

[0005] More specifically, the object of the invention deals with a hermetic device with a system for inserting air bodies that, by pushing their movement to the surface, allows energy to be generated.

[0006] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0007] One of the problems is how to introduce air buoys or floats into the base of a body of water without moving the water or losing water in the process.

[0008] Devices are needed that allow the introduction of air into the base of a device submerged in a body of water in order to generate renewable and economical energy through the thrust generated by the air bodies as they push their way to the surface.

[0009] The invention HK20511119 A2 by inventor Tak Huang Law entitled Deep Water buoyancy balloon electric in the year 2003 differs in that it is not possible to insert the air body from the outside at the bottom to take full advantage of the buoyancy force of the air body, always having a problem of water handling and mobilization.

[0010] The invention US 2010 / 0107627 Al Buoyancy energy storage and energy generation system also integrates generation with buoys; however, it does not define the buoy's air body inlet device to the system, reducing water loss, which is the main problem in preventing water loss in the system.

[0011] Therefore, taking into account the previous documents, it is necessary to find alternatives that are directed to the insertion of an air body into a body of water without the loss of water, which is fully described in our invention.

[0012] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Air body insertion device for renewable energy generation: The airtight chamber for inserting an air body into a container in a body of water allows for the storage of static water at the bottom without having to move the water in the container or experience water loss within the container or during the process. Once the air body is inserted into the container using the airtight chamber, the air is channeled and exerts its buoyant force on the surface using Archimedes' principle. This, through a system of pulleys, rotors, and gears, drives a power generator that produces electricity.The system inserts several air bodies in a chain; when the air body reaches the surface, it is pushed and channeled by gravity to be reinserted into the airtight chamber for inserting air bodies into the water body.

[0014] By introducing an air body into the base of a body of water, the aim is to offer an innovative renewable and economical energy option through the thrust generated by the air bodies as they push their trajectory, allowing energy to be generated at a lower cost compared to other renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass, biogas, biofuels, small hydroelectric plants and geothermal energy.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the air body takes the form of a pyramid and ovals, allowing for a greater travel distance. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] Figure 1. It consists of a hermetic gate (A1); a hermetic chamber structure (A2); and a hermetic channel duct for inserting air bodies into water bodies (A3) that forms the hermetic box, in addition to two air body conduits (B1 and B3) and a basket for thrust air bodies (B2); as well as a stop for air bodies (B4). The system also has three stop valves (C1, C2, and C3); as well as three hermetic control and motor chambers for the stop valve (D1, D2, and D3), where the thrust air body falls into the water body and passes through the three hermetic chambers, allowing the generation of pulleys for renewable energy production.

[0017] Figure 2. The figure shows a profile view of the air body insertion device for renewable energy generation.

[0018] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0019] A preferred embodiment of the invention is described below, based on the figures shown.

[0020] Description of operation

[0021] The Air Body Insertion Device for Renewable Energy Generation comprising an airtight gate next to an airtight chamber structure (A2); and an airtight channel duct for inserting air bodies into water bodies (A3) that configures the airtight box, an airtight chamber (A2) that allows maintaining the water level during the air body submersion process.

[0022] A thrust basket mechanism (B2) submerges and channels an underwater air body into a sealed duct (A3). A system of water pressure control valves (C1, C2, C3) operates in sync, allowing the air body to pass through without displacing or wasting water, thus ensuring the air body's free passage. A motor, pulley, and gear mechanism (D1, D2, D3) includes two air body conduits (B1 and B3) and a thrust air body basket (B2). Additionally, three sealed control and motor chambers (D1, D2, and D3) house the thrust air body, which then enters the water and passes through them. These chambers drive pulleys for renewable energy generation, allowing the air body to autonomously enter the water and rise to the surface.

[0023] The air body insertion device for renewable energy generation features circular, concave air body conduits and is formed by independent, waterproof linings. Additionally, the air body's submersion basket (B2) has slots that allow it to move within the water without disturbing it, thus maintaining the desired flow rate and water level at a stop for the air bodies (B4). It also includes a stop valve (C3) whose vertical function is to block the water pressure and flow capacity, always maintaining the desired flow rate according to the air body's position, allowing water to pass to the stop valve (Cl) and preventing the water from flooding the airtight chamber (A2).

[0024] The device's stopcock (C2) is located at the top of the duct (A3) which allows the pressure from the upper water body to pass through the stopcock (Cl) and (C3) in the duct to reach the airtight chamber (A2), thus ensuring that the water does not maintain the same desired flow rate level in the airtight chamber (A2) so that when the stopcock (C3) is open, the water does not rise above the desired flow rate level.

[0025] The use of the air body insertion device for renewable energy generation is for the generation of renewable energy.

[0026] The airtight gate opens for the insertion of buoys into the airtight chamber for the insertion of the water body, allowing the air body to enter. The airtight gate then closes, and the thrust device is activated, submerging the air body in the water channeled through the airtight conduit to reach the flow valves. From there, it continues its trajectory propelled by the force of the water body. This system, located within the airtight chamber for storing static water bodies (which is always full of water), moves the rotor and gear system, transferring this thrust force to drive the electric generator.

[0027] Then the air body is channeled to the airtight chamber and channeled to the directing channel which, by means of gravity, carries the air body to the airtight chamber for insertion.
