Abstract

This patent refers to a system for the generation and supply of electric power so as to be used in constructions, industries and even cities, being a small-sized, completely autonomous system that will generate electric power by means of a cyclical process that used the same amount of water. The invention is composed of an upper reservoir (1) that is fixed onto a column (9) which is reinforced by beams (10) and (11), whereby the reservoir (1) is connected to a pipe (2) that will conduct water to the turbine (4) which is fixed next to the electric power generator (3) at the concrete base (5), whereby the generator (3) is connected to the control panel (16) by wires (12) and (13), whereby the control panel (16) is supplied with wires (17) and (18) that connect to the electric system of the construction, industry or city, and wires (14) and (15) to supply power to the water booster pump (7) that is settled in the lower part of the structural set, in which are connected a horizontal pipe (6) to conduct water and a pipe for water suppression (8) for the reservoir (1), completing thus the system set.

Description

"Hydraulic system for in-house electricity generation."

This patent refers to a new and original system for the generation and supply of electric power so as to be used in constructions, industries and even cities, being a low scale, completely autonomous system that will generate electric power by means of a cyclical process that uses the same amount of water without waste, and with no electric power consumption originating from public systems whatsoever.

Nowadays, the electric energy supply is done through hydroelectric or thermoelectric power stations, which has overloaded those systems and has generated problems that are commonly known as "blackouts", apart from the need for extremely costly and complex installations so as to bring power to residences. Another known source is the generation through generators that are powered by combustion, whereby this equipment also presents high costs both for its acquisition and maintenance, besides requiring large grounds for its installation. Both aforementioned systems cause great negative impacts on our environment: the first due to the need for displacement and its interference with river courses, and the second due to the emission of gases and residues into our atmosphere that originate from the combustion.

Aiming to present solutions for the aforesaid inconveniences, this system was developed in order to offer constructions, buildings and industries an electric power, self-generating system by means of an autonomous and cyclical system with a 100% regain of water. Being completely independent from the conventional public power grid, this system will also offer water saving in our rivers and the preservation of our environment, in addition to autonomy and total economy for those locations where it is put into service since all water is regained and reused with virtually no waste.

The objectives and advantages of the invention can be more easily understood when the following description is read together with the presented drafts, where:

Figure 1 represents a plan view of this system. Figure 2 represents an A-A cut view of this system. As shown in the figures, this is a hydraulic system for in-house electricity generation that is composed of an upper reservoir (1) that is fixed onto a supporting column (9) which is reinforced by beams (10) and (11), whereby the reservoir (1) that can be found inside the system is connected to a pipe for water descent (2) so as to conduct water to the turbine (4); this turbine (4) is fixed next to the electric power generator (3) at the concrete base (5), whereby the generator (3) is connected to the control panel (16) by wires (12) and (13), whereby the control panel (16) is supplied with wires (17) and (18) that connect to the electric system of the construction, industry or city, and wires (14) and (15) to supply power and activation to the water booster pump (7); this booster pump (7) is settled in the lower part of the structural set to which a horizontal pipe is connected to conduct water (6), a pipe to conduct the water from the turbine (4) to the booster pump (7), and to which the pipe for water suppression (8) for the reservoir (1) is also connected, completing thus the system set.

The specifications for pipes (2) and (8), the dimensions of the reservoir (1) and of its supporting base (9), (10) and (11) and the specifications of the turbine (4), of the generator (3) and the booster pump (7) will depend on the power load that will be generated, according to the demands of the construction, building or city.

Operation: once the water reservoir (1) is completely full, the water will descend through the vertical pipe (2), setting the turbine (4) in motion which will in turn activate the power generator (3) that will generate the power. The power generated by the generator (3), which can be monophasic, biphasic or triphasic, will be conducted by wires (10) and (11) to the QDC control panel [sic], from which the power will be distributed to the construction. Wires (12) and (13) that operate the booster pump (7) will come out of the control panel; the pump will suppress the water that descends from pipe (2) and goes through the horizontal pipe (5) again to the water reservoir (1), completing thus a closed cycle without the occurrence of water loss at any given time during the process, and generating thereby the electric power at the construction itself.
