Abstract
A floating vessel has a plurality of downwardly open cylinders A each containing a piston B and valves C. The pistons rise and fall with wave motion and pump air into chamber D. An air motor E drives propeller H and a second motor E drives generator F which supplies power to a material-processing chamber G. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Energy convertor marine
This invention relates to Energy Convertors
Ref. Marine.
The present ideas in this direction envisage structures fixed or anchored to the Sea bed, some of them stretching for miles. They all present problems for the Environment, Ecology or Navigation.
This invention presents no such problems.
It is base firstly on normal floatation principles. Secondly on the various pressures exerted by moving liquids on a floating body.
Normally water borne vessels are designed and shaped to minimise the effect of the varying water pressures involved in order to achieve Speed, Comfort of Crew and Passengers etc.
This vessels main requirement would be conversion of energy consistant with its own safety. To this end the varying water pressures would be utilised and converted to useable energy.
One method of so doing is the use of cylinders fixed to the bottom of the Hull one end of which would be open to the Sea, the other end would be sealed except for air inlet and outlet valves. A piston is inside the cylinder so that varying water pressures inside the cylinder would cause the piston to compress the air above it, this would be forced into a storage chamber to be used as desired. Lower water pressure would allow the piston to drop and air would enter from the inlet valve. (A gas or liquid could be used in place of air.)
The compressed air is used to drive machinery or electric generators and for propelling the vessel if needed. Electricity generated could be used such as in a furnace to convert a substance which could be used to supply energy for a conventional power station.
Sails could be fitted to the vessel to induce a rocking motion and used to generate power if needed. The moving pistons could be used to supply mechanical power instead of compressed air. Solar panels can be fitted on the deck. Ores such as Iron, Aluminium etc. could be refined while being transported.
These vessels could be used and moved anywhere under their own power. They could also be utilized for Weather Stations, Coast
Guard etc. In Defence for Rocket Launchers,
Anti-Submarine, Radar, Helicopters etc.
