| 摘要 |
<p>This invention relates to a rigid body dynamics-based hydropower technology, which is capable of generating useful mechanical or electrical energy from gravitational potential energy of renewable water resources in a two phases production cycle involving the following production steps: a) containing the required amount of water for performing a production cycle at the level of the upstream water table or of water intake; b) transferring the contained gravitational potential energy of contained water to a rigid body in the form of a sphere (6); c) converting the gained gravitational potential energy of the rigid sphere into kinetic energy; d) converting the stored kinetic energy in the rigid sphere into useful mechanical or electrical energy. The first phase of production involves the stages (a-c) and could be carried out by means of the vertical rigid energy generating engine (1000), whereas the second involves the stage (d) and could be carried out by means of the rigid energy conversion mechanism (500).</p> |
