System for Generating and Recovering Energy

摘要

A system for generating and recovering energy comprising an electric generator integrated with a consumer's utility provider's network to generate electrical energy. Electrical power is transmitted from an electric power grid to a control box at a location requiring energy (e.g., home or business) via a bidirectional meter which measures power delivered by and to the power grid. The control box powers an AC driver which feeds a load to and controls the speed of a motor. A torque multiplier multiplies a first torque output from the motor to produce a second torque output which is fed to an alternator. The power generated by the electric generator is transmitted to a remote location for consumption. In one embodiment, exported energy is returned to the utility provider in exchange for credit against the consumer's account or for payment. In an alternative embodiment, the present invention functions as an independent power plant.

1. A system for generating and recovering energy, said system comprising:
an electric network; a bidirectional meter connected to said electric network for receiving electrical power transmitted therefrom wherein said bidirectional meter measures power delivered by said electric network; a main power switch electrically connected to said bidirectional meter, said main power switch receiving said electric power being transmitted through said bidirectional meter; a control box electrically connected to said electric network; an electric generator electrically connected to said control box, said electric generator comprising:
an AC driver electrically connected to said control box;a motor having a shaft extending distally therefrom, said motor electrically connected to said AC driver for receiving power therefrom and generating a first torque output;a torque multiplier mechanically connected to said motor wherein said torque multiplier multiplies said first torque output from said motor to produce a second torque output;at least one coupler rotatably mounted on said shaft between said torque multiplier and said motor;an alternator mechanically connected to said torque multiplier, said alternator receiving second torque output from said torque multiplier to generate power and transmitting power generated to a remote location; and a base having said electric generator mounted thereon.
