Hydrodynamic energy generation system with neutralized pressure pump

摘要

A hydrodynamic energy generation system comprises a pump and three vertically aligned compartments and a fourth compartment proximate to the lower ends of the vertically aligned compartments. Each of the three vertically aligned compartments has an opening on an upper end and a lower end. The first compartment has a first turbine mechanically coupled to a first generator producing electrical power when the first turbine is moved by water that falls into the first compartment. The first compartment has a controlled water level under the first turbine. A second turbine proximate to the opening at the second compartment's lower end is mechanically coupled to a pump through gear box and/or second generator producing electrical or rotational power when the second turbine is moved by water flowing out of the second compartment's lower end opening. A pump for moving water from the first and second compartments through the fourth compartment and into the third compartment is at least partially powered by the second generator, mechanically by second turbine and by an external power source according to the following formula (pumping energy=1*disk ratio*flow+external energy), where 1 is the pressure change regardless of pumping height and disk ratio is the (gear box modified) ratio between the driving turbine disk under second compartment and the driving disk of the pump.

1. A hydrodynamic energy generation system, comprising:
a housing comprising a hollow interior;
a pump located at a bottom of the system, the pump equipped with a first fluid inlet providing fluid at a low head pressure and a second fluid inlet at a high head pressure;a first vertically aligned compartment within the housing, wherein the first vertically aligned compartment has a first opening on an upper end and a second opening on a lower end, which interfaces with the first fluid inlet;a first water wheel located below the opening on the upper end and within the first compartment, wherein the first water wheel is mechanically coupled to a first generator that produces electrical power when the first water wheel is moved by water that falls into the first compartment;a controlled water level under the first water wheel; a second vertically aligned compartment within the housing, wherein the second compartment has a first opening on an upper end and a second opening on a lower end, which interfaces with the second fluid inlet;a second water wheel proximate to the second opening of the second compartment, wherein the second water wheel is mechanically coupled to the pump and to a second generator or an external gear box and produces electrical or mechanical rotational power when the second water wheel is moved by means of peripheral surface contact of water exiting the lower end of the second compartment;a third vertically aligned compartment within the housing, wherein the third compartment has a first opening on an upper end and a second opening on the lower end, wherein the upper end of the third compartment is in fluid communication with the first and second compartments;a fourth compartment within the housing arranged proximate to the lower ends of the first, second and third compartments, wherein the second openings of the first, second, and third compartments provide fluid communication with the fourth compartment;wherein, the pump removes water from the fourth compartment into the third compartment, and the pump is mechanically coupled to the second water wheel through the external gear box and at least partially powered by the second generator, and wherein the pump is at least partially powered by an external power source; anda coupling for conductively coupling the hydrodynamic energy generation system with the external power source.
