The present invention relates to an electricity generator which can generate electricity depending on passage of a conductive solution through magnetic field.
Magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) power generation is based on direct generation of electrical energy by means of a conductive fluid without any intermediate mechanical energy transformation. While traditional generators or alternators comprise conductive copper winding, a conductor, hot ionized gas or a liquid conductor are used in a MHD generator.
Magnetic hydrodynamic generators need a conductive flow. This conductive fluid is essentially plasma. As the plasma, transformation of air into plasma form is utilized. This means a very high temperature. However, this condition can only be generated in nuclear plants. Thus, it does not function in an efficient manner in systems which have lower temperatures. In closed plasma cycles, high temperature and high speed values are needed. The efficiencies of systems which function by means of liquid metal and similar conductors are very low.
The application with number RU127544U1 known in the art relates to magneto hydrodynamic electricity generation system comprising a casing, at least one nozzle for providing water or water vapor to the inlet of said nozzle and at least two MHD generators, where each of them are made in a Laval nozzle form. When this application known in the art is examined, said electricity generation takes place at the instant where the plasma temperature is nearly 6000° C. However, designing of such type of system and reaching of such high temperatures are costly and less applicable in the art, and it can only take place as a result of the effect of very big exothermic chemical reactions or nuclear explosions. Therefore, the usability and the proliferation of this technical advantage are low.
As a result, because of the abovementioned problems, an improvement is required in the related technical field.
The present invention relates to an electricity generator, for eliminating the abovementioned disadvantages and for bringing new advantages to the related technical field.
An object of the present invention is to provide an electricity generator which can generate electricity by means of a conductive solution and which can provide regeneration of the solution at the same time.
In order to realize the abovementioned objects and the objects which are to be deducted from the detailed description below, the present invention is an electricity generator which can generate electricity depending on passage of a conductive solution through magnetic field. Accordingly, the improvement is that the subject matter electricity generator comprises at least one chamber wherein the pressured solution and air mixture, which can be taken therein by means of at least one input opening, can be centrifuged, at least one first output opening provided for discharging of the solution, which can be separated from the air by means of centrifuging of the mixture on the chamber and which is brought to equal vapor pressure as the air vapor pressure, at least one second output opening provided for discharging of the air separated from the solution which exists in the mixture, and in order to enable electricity generation; the subject matter electricity generator comprises at least one magnet which can create magnetic field in said chamber, at least one first electrode positioned in the vicinity of said input opening, and at least one second electrode positioned in the vicinity of said first output opening. Thus, a structure is obtained which can provide regeneration of the solution and which can provide generation of electricity from this solution.
In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the input opening has at least one solution input part which can provide obtaining of pressured solution, and at least one air input part which can provide obtaining of air. Thus, solution-air mixture is taken into the chamber without consuming an extra energy depending on the solution pressure.
In another possible embodiment of the present invention, the first electrode and the second electrode are associated with at least one energy generation unit. Thus, the voltage which exists at the electrodes becomes usable.
In another possible embodiment of the present invention, at least one waiting compartment is provided where the chamber is connected. Thus, the pressure is balanced according to air pressure before the discharge of the centrifuged solution.
In this detailed description, the subject matter is explained with references to examples without forming any restrictive effect only in order to make the subject more understandable.

The subject matter electricity generator (1) essentially has a structure which generates electricity by means of a hydrodynamic method. The electricity generator (1) essentially generates electricity depending on the movement of a solution, having conductivity, in the magnetic field, and moreover, said electricity generator (1) provides regeneration of this solution.
Regeneration of the solution is that the air, where said solution exists, has vapor pressure which is equal to the vapor pressure which exists at a specific time. When the solution stays in an open medium, said solution has vapor pressure which is equal to the vapor pressure of the medium where said solution exists. However, since this duration is long and since the vapor pressures between day/night and the relative humidity are different, obtaining of vapor pressure so as to have the desired vapor pressure becomes difficult. Therefore, as regeneration process is applied to the solution at times of different vapor pressure, the solution having different vapor pressure can be obtained. This process may be needed to be applied due to different reasons in the art.
In generation of electricity by means of hydrodynamic method, there is the principle of moving a conductive solution in magnetic field and forming a closed circuit and transforming movement of solution into electrical energy. The subject matter electricity generator (1) has a structure which provides generation of electricity from one side and which provides regeneration of the solution from the other side.

Said input opening (13) provides entering of the solution-air mixture into the chamber (10). The input opening (13) is essentially positioned in the vicinity of the cover (12) of the chamber (10). There is an air input part (132) and a solution input part (131) on the chamber (10) input. There is stationary air at said air input part (132). Pressured solution can enter the input opening (13) through said solution input part (131). As the solution is given to the input opening (13) in a pressured form, air suctioning is provided naturally through the air input part (132). This condition is an example for the venturi principle. The pressured solution air mixture, which enters the chamber (10) through the input opening (13), rotates around the cylindrical shaped chamber (10) and falls downwardly. In this case, the solution-air mixture is rested to the walls of the chamber (10) by means of centrifuge effect.
Air and solution in the solution-air mixture are separated from each other by means of the effect of centrifuge. The solution separated from the air can be discharged outwardly through at least one first output opening (14) provided essentially in the periphery of the base (11) of the chamber (10). Thanks to this, the vapor pressure of the discharged solution is equalized to the air vapor pressure by giving vapor to the air or by taking vapor from the air during centrifuge. In a possible embodiment of the present invention, at least one waiting compartment (16) at the base (11) of the chamber (10) is the part where the solution is waited before the discharge through the first output opening (14). The vapor pressure of the waited solution can realize the function of balancing in order to provide equalization to the air vapor pressure by giving vapor to the air or by taking vapor from the air during centrifuge. The air, separated from the solution as a result of centrifuge, can be discharged outwardly by means of the second output opening (15) provided essentially in the vicinity of the cover (12) of the chamber (10).

In alternative embodiments, the gas obtained from the electricity generator (1) can be hydrogen gas. While electricity is being produced with a water-based solution, water is ionized since electricity passes through it and hydrogen gas is output. Hydrogen gas can be used as fuel. In different alternative embodiments, by ionizing and at the same time regenerating of the solution, it can be used in chlorine production processes or in changing the chemical structures of salts.
By means of all these embodiments, air and solution, which is mixed to air, can be separated from each other and by means of this, regeneration of the solution can be provided without needing high temperature and high pressure. Thanks to the usage of this solution in the generation of hydrodynamic electricity, the need for molten metals or liquid metals, used in hydrodynamic electricity generation as known in the art, is eliminated. The electricity generator (1) has two different outputs, and thereby it has high efficiency and it is environment-friendly.
The protection scope of the present invention is set forth in the annexed claims and cannot be restricted to the illustrative disclosures given above, under the detailed description. It is because a person skilled in the relevant art can obviously produce similar embodiments under the light of the foregoing disclosures, without departing from the main principles of the present invention.
