The invention relates to power engineering, and may be used in designing devices for converting one type of energy to another, for example, by electrolysis. It is an object of the invention to provide a device which would enable simultaneous conversion of Mechanical and Thermal energies into Electrical and Chemical energies. The technical results attained from the use of the device include: the enhanced efficiency of electrolysis, production of electrical energy along with oxygen and hydrogen, and utilization of heat of any natural or technogenic origin. A device for converting energy, for example, by electrolysis, comprises a rotating vessel with a shaft, said vessel being filled with an electrolytic solution. The vessel is mounted on a base, and connected to a rotary drive. The device comprises electrodes, and passages for feeding the electrolytic solution to the vessel and discharging products of electrolysis. The device further includes a heat exchanger. The electrodes are either short-circuited, or connected to form a loop via a power consumer. The vessel is mounted so that to rotate at an angular speed omega which is determined from the following mathematical relation: <MATH> where q alpha qc are the anionic and cationic charge in the electrolyte, in stoichiometric relation, C; T is the absolute temperature of the solution, K; DELTA m is the difference between weights of hydrated cations and anions, kg; rho is the linear concentration of heavy ions, m<-1>; rho = 10(C.N)<1/3>, where c is the mole percentage of the solution, mole.1<-1>, N is Avogadro constant, mole<-1>; h is the height of a solution column, m; K is the electrolyte dissociation range, 10<-2>%; R is the inner radius of the vessel, m; alpha is the temperature coefficient of change in hydrate bond energy, K<-> <1>; epsilon 0 is the absolute permittivity, F. m<-1>; epsilon is the relative permittivity of water; rw is the effective radius of water molecule, m; ri is the effective radius of heavy ion, m; pi is the transcedental number, 3.141. |
