Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In situations where there is no electricity or power, users cannot see what they are cleaning due to lack of lighting, and adding electrical lighting increases power consumption.
Innovation Solution
A micro hydraulic power generator that converts the momentum of flowing water into power for lighting, comprising a leaving water shell with holes, a coil module, a lighting module, a fan, and an entering water cover, which generates power when water flows, powering LED lights without consuming electric power.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If electrical lighting equipment is added to provide lighting when there is no light or power is cut, then illumination is provided, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the flowing water itself to generate the power needed for lighting. The water flow drives the fan which rotates the coil module to generate electricity, making the system self-powered and eliminating external power consumption requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The invention utilizes hydraulic energy from flowing water to drive the fan and generate power. The water flow through the entering water holes drives the fan rotation, converting hydraulic energy into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy for lighting
2Use of energy by moving object
If a micro hydraulic power generator is set with water tap to convert water flow momentum into lighting power, then lighting is provided without electric power consumption, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device integrates multiple functions into a single unit: the leaving water shell serves as both a water flow channel and a mounting structure; the fan serves as both a water flow indicator and a power generation driver; the coil module serves as both a mechanical connector and an electrical generator
Solution Approach 2:
The invention combines the water flow guidance function and power generation function into a single integrated structure. The fan is positioned to be driven by water flow while simultaneously driving the coil module for power generation, merging multiple functions into one compact device
