Abstract
A first and a second type of apparatus for production of electrical energy are described, as well as a first and second type of methods for the production of electrical energy.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the technical sector of apparatuses and methods for production of electrical energy, in particular apparatuses and methods based on the Faraday-Neumann-Lenz law. This law relates to electromagnetic induction and establishes that when the flow of the magnetic field through the surface delimited by an electric circuit is variable over time, an induced electromotive force is generated that is equal to the opposite of the flow time variation.


DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Apparatus for production of electrical energy are known, which actuate relative methods for the production of electrical energy, in which a magnet of a system of magnets is placed in relative motion with respect to one or more coils, externally of the coils, generating an induced electromotive force, but these devices do not have a high performance in terms of electrical energy produced with respect to the electrical energy spent in moving the magnet or the system of magnets for the production of electrical energy. The dynamo illustrates an example of these apparatuses for production of electrical energy.


So there remains the need to increase the performance of the present apparatus for production of electrical energy, in particular for enabling fruitful domestic use. Thus there emerges a need to produce electrical energy, in particular as an alternative to electric turbines, also at the domestic level.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main aim of the present invention consists in reducing and/or obviating the above-cited disadvantages with respect to the apparatuses and methods for electrical energy production of known type.


In particular, the main objective of the present invention is to obtain high energy performance.


A further objective of the present invention consists in providing an apparatus for production of electrical energy which gives high performance and needs low input energy.


A further aim of the present invention is to provide apparatuses and methods for production of electrical energy which are of small dimensions, simple and reliable and which have relatively modest costs with respect to the objectives that are to be attained, enabling virtually all potential customers to produce electrical energy.


These aims and objectives are attained with the apparatuses and methods according to the independent claims, in particular with a first type of embodiment of the apparatus for energy production according to claim 1, with a first type of embodiment of the method for energy production according to claims 8, with a second type of embodiment of the apparatus for energy production according to claim 3, and with a second type of embodiment of the method for energy production according to claim 10.


In accordance with the first embodiments and actuation, by activating the rotation shaft in a first direction and with a relative rotation velocity, a rotation is caused, at least partial of the secondary magnet, the poles of which are appropriately arranged with respect to the longitudinal rotation axis. This rotation contemporaneously generates a magnetic repulsion force between the secondary magnet in rotation and a first primary magnet an attraction force between the secondary magnet in rotation and a second primary magnet, following the first primary magnet. The forces generated cause a movement of the support element with respect to the support structure in a second direction, opposite the first direction, causing a variation of the magnetic field generated by the plurality of primary magnets and a consequent induced electromotive force in each coil of the plurality of coils.


As the primary magnets are fixed to the support element, the first and the second primary magnet cannot move away autonomously from the secondary magnet in rotation. Therefore the repulsion force causes a movement of the support element, which is solidly constrained to the primary magnets, with respect to the support structure in a second direction, opposite the first direction of rotation of the secondary magnet. This causes a variation of the magnetic field generated by the plurality of primary magnets and a consequent induced electromotive force in each coil of the plurality of coils. For this reason, differently to the devices for the production of energy in which the primary magnets directly move, according to the first embodiment and actuation of the invention only the secondary magnet moves in rotation, which is small and light and thus less energy is required to move it, and it is the secondary magnet which causes the movement of the plurality of secondary magnets which in turn generate an induced electromotive force in the electrical coils (9). Consequently, by virtue of the low quantity of energy required for moving the secondary magnet in rotation, a better energy performance can be obtained with respect to the prior art.


Note that a technical expert in the sector reading the present patent application is perfectly able to reproduce the invention as defined in claims 1 and 8. This is because on the basis of the intensity of the magnetic field (i.e. the density of the magnetic flow) of the primary magnets, the arrangement of the primary magnets along the closed ring line, the magnetic induction of the secondary magnet, the arrangement thereof with respect to the closed ring line, and the arrangement of the relative rotation axis the expert can calculate the rotation velocity of the rotation shaft so that the support element is moved by the repulsion force generated by the rotation of the secondary magnet on at least a primary magnet. Obviously the technical expert in the sector is also able to define any missing parameter from among the following: the intensity of the magnetic field of the primary magnets, the arrangement of the primary magnets along the closed ring line, the magnetic induction of the secondary magnet, the arrangement thereof with respect to the closed ring line, the arrangement of the relative rotation axis and the rotation velocity of the rotation shaft, in order to design and realise a production apparatus of the first type of embodiment starting from the remaining available parameters.


In relation to the second embodiment and actuation of the invention, note that the plurality of the primary magnets longitudinally crosses each coil included and generates, in each coil, an induced electromotive force that is greater than the one that can be generated in the same conditions in the event that the magnets were moved from outside the coils without crossing them longitudinally. Therefore, in this case, the apparatus and the method of the invention has a better performance than what is obtainable with the methods and apparatuses for electrical energy production of known type.


It will be sufficient to carry out a periodic maintenance to prevent excessive wear on the moving parts to prevent a deterioration in the performance of apparatus according to the invention.

In a preferred embodiment, the rotation means 20 are configured to totally rotate the rotation shaft 21 about the relative longitudinal axis, advantageously several times consecutively.


The apparatus 1 actuates a first type of embodiment of actuation of the method for the production of electrical energy of the invention which comprises following steps:

    • predisposing a secondary magnet 18 having a relative rotation axis;
    • predisposing a support element 16 to which a plurality of primary magnets 17 is fixed, placed, one following another, preferably in sequence, along a closed ring line 44, at least one of the primary magnets 17 of the plurality of primary magnets 17 being arranged in the magnetic field of the secondary magnet 18;

In the apparatus for production of electrical energy according to the invention, the secondary magnet 18 is preferably solidly constrained to the rotation shaft 21 with the relative south pole arranged, with respect to the rotation axis, on an opposite side to the relative north pole. This is because, in this way, a better performance can be obtained.


Likewise, it is preferable in the first type of realisation of the method for it to include the secondary magnet 18 with the relative rotation axis interposed between the relative south pole and the relative north pole.


According to a preferred embodiment, the secondary magnet 18 is set in total rotation, advantageously many times consecutively.

The closed ring line 44 is advantageously circular or oval, preferably circular.


Preferably the apparatus 1 for production of electrical energy preferably has a relative initial configuration wherein the shaft is not activated and wherein the closed ring line 44 has the relative maximum interaction portion 2 (see FIGS. 4A-4B) which is at a minimum distance from the secondary magnet 18 with respect to the relative remaining portions. In this case, the apparatus 1 preferably has a relative initial configuration wherein a primary magnet 17 is arranged in the maximum interaction portion 2; preferably with a relative polarity opposite that of the secondary magnet 18 (see FIGS. 4A-4C). In a preferred embodiment, a relative initial configuration of the apparatus 1 for production of energy, in the maximum interaction portion 2 a primary magnet 17 is arranged with both relative polarities opposite the polarities of the secondary magnet 18 (see FIG. 4A).

In a relative second type of embodiment (see FIGS. 13A-13C), the apparatus 1 for the production of electrical energy according to the invention comprises:

    • a support structure 15
    • a plurality of primary magnets 17;
    • a annular support element 16, which is closed ring-shaped to which each primary magnet 17 of the plurality of primary magnets 17 is solidly fixed, arranged, one following another, preferably in sequence, along a closed ring line 44, wherein the support element 16 has a relative central rotation axis and is connected to the support structure 15 with a possibility of relative movement, with respect to the support structure 15, in rotation about the relative rotation axis;

The second type of embodiment of the apparatus 1 actuates a second type of embodiment of the method of the invention which comprises following steps:

In this way, given same primary magnets 17 and the relative arrangement thereof, given same coils and the relative arrangement thereof; given same movement velocity of the secondary magnet 18, a greater induced electromotive force and therefore it is possible to obtain a greater energy performance of the apparatus 1 according to the invention (see FIGS. 1A-1C, 2A-2C, 4A-4C and 5). In this case the path of the primary magnets 17 is at least partly inside the electrical coils 19 and this enables production of a greater induced electromotive force with respect to the case in which the path of the primary magnets 17 is entirely outside the coils. Therefore the energy performance of the first embodiment of the apparatus 1 of the invention is further increased.


For constructional motives, the annular support element 16 can be formed by one or more pieces fixed to one another, for example by two half-rings.

    • a blocking element 10 (see FIG. 8) comprising a first and a second relative lateral portion 11 which are facing, respectively to the first and the second lateral portion 8 of the upper surface of the support member 5, and a central portion inserted in each coil of the plurality of coils, transversally to the relative windings (see FIG. 10), and inferiorly of the annular support element 16; and

For example the first fixing means 3 can comprise a hole 3, preferably threaded, and the second fixing means 4 can comprise a vertical through-hole (not illustrated) in every lateral portion 11 of the blocking element and two screws, bolts or plugs (not illustrated).

The rolling elements 27 are preferably three, and are arranged at a radial distance of 120° from one another, or can be four and arranged at a radial distance of 90°. These rolling elements 27 can comprise wheels, rollers, spheres and bearings, and are preferably wheels. In this embodiment too, the rotation axis of the shaft is preferably perpendicular to the circular annular support element 16.


According to still further alternative preferred embodiments, in both the first and second type of embodiment of the apparatus 1 for the production of electrical energy according to the invention, the support element 16 is an annular support element 16 that is horizontally arranged and which comprises a relative internal annular surface having a plurality of recesses or through-holes arranged, preferably one following another, along a relative closed ring line, wherein the apparatus 1 further comprises a plurality of cogged wheels 30, wherein each cogged wheel 30 of the plurality of cogged wheels 30 is fixed idle to the support structure 15, at a relative vertical rotation axis, and is at least partly engaged with at least a recess 31 or through-hole 31 of the plurality of recesses or through-holes in order to fix the circular annular support element 16 to the support structure 15 enabling movement thereof with respect to the support structure 15 when the rotation shaft 21 is activated (see FIGS. 2a-2C and 11-12).


In this embodiment, the annular support element 16, which can be circular or oval, can be a conveyor belt or a conveyor chain constituted by one or more links 33, 33′ linked to one another in sequence, i.e. one link to the next (see FIG. 11), in which the primary magnets 17 are externally fixed, preferably at a recess 31 of the annular support element 16. This is because in this position the primary magnets 17 are less subject to mechanical stress during the movement of the annular support element 16.

The apparatus 1 for energy production of the invention preferably comprises a casing defining a relative external housing with, inside the housing, a pressure of lower than atmospheric pressure. In this way the friction between the support element 16 and the air is reduced and the energy performance further increased.


The apparatus 1 for energy production comprises at least 6-8 electrical coils 19, preferably made of a copper wire.


Purely by way of example, an apparatus 1 for energy production as illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1C and described in claims 1, 2 and 4 can comprise a circular annular support element 16 having a diameter of 30 cm, eight secondary magnets of 1.4-1.5 Tesla arranged one at a distance of 6.54 cm from another, a primary magnet 17 of 1.4-1.5 Tesla.
