BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This proposal relates to hydrodynamic and mechanical inertial disk rotor devices. It also relates to energy integrating systems with high power ratio of effective selfboosting technologies with limited losses.

The general idea and approach are similar to some closed testing wind and water fluidynamic tunnels with their well-known high energy ratios, which never were used as regular sources of power.

The method and principle of this proposal are near to the patent application Ser. No. 11/399,661 entitled HYDRODYNAMIC CLOSED LOOP TURBOSET-SELFBOOSTER filed Apr. 7, 2006 and published Feb. 22, 2007 by the US PTO under number 20070041830.

Said turboset, developed by present author, is based on liquid flow driving axial bispindle wing-turbines in closed loop tubular circuit. The general idea of said turboset and present proposal is philosophically similar to selfboosting cordial structures of humans and animals. The said cordial systems can be considered as a prior art-idea to the present proposal, as an idea granted by our mother-nature.

In the current proposal the ring-selfboosting technology is developed with combined usage of:

• a) hydrodynamic power high energy ratio of cyclically propelled operative liquid flow driving a vane-fairing disc rotor in a closed loop tunnel, and
• b) said rotor's inertial energy, which is produced constantly supported, and conservated in united rotating structure with newly developed inertial time-radius connected parameters of said rotor.

Some conventional now and new solutions of similar devices like turborotors, blade-apparates, fluid pressure combined motors are presented in classes 29,60,415 of the USA Patent Classification. Any of them don't combine selfboosting hydrodynamic and inertial energy of the united rotor in integrating manner with high power ratio.

Other prior arts directly related to my present proposal, based on cyclically selfboosting flow of operative liquid driving a vane fairing disk rotor for obtaining integrated hydrodynamic and inertial energy in united self-amplifying structure were not found.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The objects of this proposal development are:

• an effective universal non-fuel power-set based on energy integrating selfboosting technology with hydrodynamic-inertial vane rotors, and
• ecologically clean, natural method without any pollution and other harm effects, and possibilities of various power and design applications.

The nature and substance of the Combined Hydrodynamic-Inertial Rotoset-Selfbooster is a vane-fairing disk rotor installed inside a circular closed loop tunnel filled with operative liquid driven by a rotary pump and driving said rotor when smoothly passing over rotor's vanes.

Said rotor is a hydrodynamic flywheel with inertia energy been provided by newly developed method of effective rotating mass selfboosting.

Said tunnel has a module with a rotary pump, which propels said operative liquid inside said tunnel driving fairing vanes of said rotor.

Said pump works in series with itself propelling said liquid for itself and for said rotor, rising the liquid pressure cyclically up to definite level.

Said rotor develops its total torque as a sum of a hydrodynamic and inertial portions produced by kinetic energy of high potential liquid flow and inertial selfboosting simultaneously.

The initial rotation of said rotor is provided by a starter; the rotoset includes an electric battery with a charger.

The rotoset is driven by operative liquid selfboosting flow and by selfboosting mass-inertia momentum integrating both and providing united output power for multiple and different receivers by design.

The natural energy losses are small because of vane-fairing rotor and improved inertia time-radius parameters in combined design. The average total power ratio is about 7.5 depending on output task.

Operation

Initial technological steps:

• the starter units 40,41,42 slowly drive the rotor 20;
• the rotary pump impeller 51 propels the operative liquid 57 up to definite liquid velocity and dynamic pressure level, accelerating said rotor 20 up to designed angular velocity; starter units stop.
• the rotor 20 develops integrating momentum from hydrodynamic forces of said vanes 21, and/or 22,23,24, and inertial force effects of all rotating masses simultaneously.

Any kind of said vanes, getting dynamic pressure of liquid flow 57, simultaneously let a part of said flow 57 pass over and by said vanes into the gaps g and g thus providing the flow 57 kinetic energy rising for high hydrodynamic energy ratio.

The total united torque T of the rotor's 20 shaft 28 consists of hydrodynamic portion T and inertial portion T Said torque T is transmitted to electric generator 45 by clutch 43, drive 44 for obtaining output voltage V, charging battery 70 by elements 72,71, and feeding electric motors 52,61. A transformer 73 provides different output voltage V

The springed piston valve 39 provides needed liquid flow static pressure in order to limit and/or prevent the possible vortices, cavitation, and fluctuations inside said tunnel 30 and module 50.

The static and dynamic packings 34,35, and packing insert 38 provide needed hydraulic conditions; the meters 37,54 provide data for the control panel 74.

In addition and/or equally instead of said generator 45, other receivers of rotor's 20 torque can be used including mechanical, hydraulic, and/or combined.

The interactions of said Rotoset-Selfbooster are based on combined integrating work of two united structures:

• a) the rotary pump impeller 51, which operates in actual series with itself, propelling the liquid 57 cyclically at itself, for itself, and drives said rotor 20 rising the liquid dynamic pressure inside tunnel 30 up to definite level;
• b) rotor's 20 inertial momentum with newly developed time-radius interdependence generates and supports the inertial portion of common torque for integrated high power ratio.

Said above newly developed inertial rotor parameters are expressed by equation: R=F·P, where: R—is rotor's radius, P—is rotor's period of rotation, F—is a function of rotor mass and dimensions proportions.

The total integrated combined rotor's torque T is a sum;

T= T+ T, where

• Hydrodynamic torque portion T=P·S Z R, where P is the liquid integrated dynamic pressure, S, Z, R, are the vanes cross area, number, mean radius, and hydrodynamic efficiency respectively;
• Inertial torque portion T=M R W, where M, W, are rotor's mass, angular velocity, and inertial efficiency respectively.

The total power ratio of the Combined Hydrodynamic-Inertial Rotoset-Selfbooster as a non-fuel source of energy is about 7.5, depending on design and KW required.
