摘要: An engine system includes three communicating fluid vessels that each contain a fluid. A first interconnecting fluid conduit containing the fluid rotatably couples the second fluid vessel to the first fluid vessel and acts as a lever. A second interconnecting fluid conduit containing the fluid rotatably couples the third fluid vessel to the first fluid vessel and acts as another lever. By increasing the fluid column heights in the communicating fluid vessels, torque is applied to the levers to cause the second and third fluid vessels to revolve around the first fluid vessel.

摘要: Disclosed in the present invention is a dual-rotor microfluidic energy capturing and power generating device based on a piezoelectric effect. An inner ring of blades and an outer ring of blades are coaxially and movably sleeved, and rotate relatively. Sheet-like magnetic piezoelectric components and steel magnets are provided in an annular gap between the inner ring of blades and the outer ring of blades. Magnetic piezoelectric components are connected to an inner peripheral surface of the outer ring of blades, the magnetic piezoelectric components are magnetically repulsive to the steel magnets, and the outer sides of the magnetic piezoelectric components are axially arranged. The inner ring of blades and the outer ring of blades rotate relatively to drive the magnetic piezoelectric components and the steel magnets to rotate relatively, and further drive the magnetic piezoelectric components to oscillate to generate mechanical energy which is then converted into electric energy.

摘要: A self-contained hydroelectricity generating system to produce an amount of usable electrical energy has primary and secondary cisterns containing a motive fluid. A hydro-expeditor tower assembly includes a plurality of spiral hydro-expeditor towers each disposed in fluid communication with the primary cistern, a portion of the motive fluid flows from the primary cistern into and through each of the hydro-expeditor towers increasing the velocity thereof. A hydroelectric generator assembly has a plurality of hydroelectric generator units each disposed in fluid communication with a corresponding spiral hydro-expeditor tower, the motive fluid discharged from each of the spiral hydro-expeditor towers contacts the turbine of a corresponding hydroelectric generator unit resulting in generation of the amount of usable electrical energy. The motive fluid from the hydroelectric generator units is discharged into the secondary cistern and is then transferred to the primary cistern for reuse through the system.

摘要: A water channel is disclosed. The water channel has a channel body defining a flow passage having an entrance, an exit, and defining a flow direction from the entrance to the exit. Intake deflectors are positioned at the entrance and are angled away from the flow direction relative to the channel body and positioned to direct a flow of water into the entrance of the channel body. Outlet deflectors are positioned at the exit of the channel body and extend away from the exit of the channel body. The outlet deflectors are angled away from the flow direction relative to the channel body.

摘要: A method and device for non-emission electric energy production, consisting in: generating negative pressure or vacuum inside a pressure vessel in its upper part constituting a vacuum chamber in whose space a turbine rotor is situated; setting a height of a liquid or water column in the lower part of the pressure vessel constituting a liquid or water column below the turbine rotor, wherein the vacuum chamber is directly connected with the liquid or water chamber situated below the vacuum chamber, and a conventional interface between them is determined by the upper surface of the liquid or water column; closing a first closing means and supplying a liquid or water by a means for supplying a liquid or water to the vacuum chamber.

摘要: Deployable system of one or more sensors (116) for incorporation on a marine installation (100). The sensor system comprises a sensor mount (114) securable to the marine installation (100) and a sensor (116) mounted on the sensor mount (114). The sensor mount (114) has a raised configuration and a deployed configuration, such that the sensor (116) is arranged to be held rigidly in place below a hull (102) of the marine installation when the sensor mount (114) is in the deployed configuration. The sensor mount (114) is arranged to rigidly hold the sensor (116) in a higher position in the raised configuration than in the deployed configuration. The sensor system is configured to monitor local wildlife and the interaction of the wildlife with the marine installation (100).

摘要: A buoyant hydrodynamic pump is disclosed that can float on a surface of a body of water over which waves tend to pass. The pump incorporates an open-bottomed tube with a constriction. The tube partially encloses a substantial volume of water with which the tube's constriction interacts, creating and/or amplifying oscillations therein in response to wave action. Wave-driven oscillations result in periodic upward ejections of portions of the water inside the tube that can be collected in a reservoir that is at least partially positioned above the mean water level of the body of water, or pressurized by compressed air or gas, or both. Water within such a reservoir may return to the body of water via a turbine, thereby generating electrical power (making the device a wave engine), or else the device's pumping action can be used for other purposes such as water circulation, propulsion, or cloud seeding.

摘要: The power generation device disclosed in the present specification includes a first rotating body, a second rotating body, a differential device, and a generator. The first rotating body and the second rotating body convert energy of the fluid into rotational motion. The differential device is connected to the first rotating body via a first transmission path, and is connected to the second rotating body via a second transmission path, and combines and outputs the rotational motion of the first rotating body and the rotational motion of the second rotating body. The generator converts rotational motion output from the differential device into electrical energy. The first rotating body and the second rotating body are arranged along the first direction. The differential device is disposed offset from the first rotating body and the second rotating body in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
