Lee Drive 4 Turbine

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The Lee Drive 4 Turbine a water driven is designed with multiple side by side cylinder's which generates rpm and torque. The torque and the rpm can drive the gear attached to a megawatt generator shaft or the gear attached to the input shaft of a gearbox of a gearbox/megawatt generator unit to rotate so said shafts said gearbox's and its megawatt generator's components of said unit components rotate as said megawatt generator generates megawatt of energy and the other megawatt generator's shaft and said megawatt generator's components rotate so said megawatt generators generate megawatts of energy, The Lee Drive 4 Turbine's cylinders uses mechanical advantage created by leverage of a length of lever with a fulcrum and a volume of water within said levers container end of said lever on one side of said lever's fulcrum as a number of said cylinder's said water filled container end of lever is simultaneously dropping to generate torque.

The Lee Drive 4 Turbine a water driven is designed with every other side by side cylinder's lever's container end is in the up position so that said containers are over their water delivery tubes and its non-container end is in the down position and said cylinder's rack gear is in the down position with the top teeth of said rack gear mashed with the teeth of said cylinder's pinion, the remaining cylinders have their container end of lever in the down position with the non-container end of said lever in the up position and said cylinder's rack gear in the up position and said rack gear's bottom teeth mashed with said cylinder's pinion gear.

Each set of side by side cylinder's container end of lever's may have a counterbalance system working between two side by side cylinders as one cylinder's water filled container end of said lever drops a cable attached to both cylinder's container end of lever pulls around top platform mounted pulleys as one end of said cable lift the adjacent cylinder's empty container end on one side of said levers fulcrum up. Side by side cylinder's rack gears also may have a counterbalancing rack gear pulling down system. as one cylinder's water filled container end of lever drops and its non-container end rises pulling up said cylinder's rack gear a cable attached to the bottom of said rising rack is pulled around lower mounted pulleys which said cables opposite end pulls down the adjacent cylinder's rack gear.

Each set of side by side cylinder's container end of lever's may have a chain and sprocket counter balancing system where one of two cylinders have one end of chain attached to its container end of a lever in the up position and the adjacent cylinder's container end of lever in the down position.

The rod attached to the other end of said pivoting lever opposite end is attached to the adjacent cylinder's container end of lever in the down position. As water is dropping into the cylinder's container on the end of a lever in the up position and the levers end drops under the weight of the within said container the pivoting lever pivots on said spindle as one rod end is pulled down and the other rod rises pulling the adjacent cylinder's empty container end of lever in the down position up

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The Lee Drive 4 Turbine is designed with multiple side by side cylinder's and said cylinder's container end of lever on one side of said lever's fulcrum counterbalance and lifts one another each other and the side by side cylinder's rack gears counterbalance and pulls down each other rack gear this can be accomplished by either of the following three method:

a cable attached to both cylinder's container end of lever with the body of said cable around upper platform mounted pulley so as water is dropped in one cylinder's container on the end of its lever and said container and its lever end drops the cable pulls around upper platforms attached pulleys as the opposite end of said cable pulls the adjacent cylinder's empty container end which is in the down position up. The same cable system works for the cylinder's rack gears, as one cylinders dropping end of lever is dropping its non-container end rise pulling said cylinder's rack gear up, as said cylinder's rack gear rises it pulls one end of a cable up around lower mounded pulleys as said cables opposite end pulls down the adjacent cylinder's rack gear.

A chain and sprocket counter balancing system where one of two cylinders have one end of chain attached to its container end of a lever in the up position and the adjacent cylinder's container end of lever in the down position. As water is dropping into the cylinder's container on the end of a lever in the up position and the levers end drops the chain is pulled around the turbines top platforms mounted sprockets pulling the adjacent cylinder's empty container end lever in the down position up.

A pivoting lever counter balancing system where one of two cylinders have one end of a rod attached to its container end of a lever in the up position and the rod's opposite end is attached to one side of a pivoting lever the lever pivots on a spindle in its middle. The rod attached to the other end of said pivoting lever opposite end is attached to the adjacent cylinder's container end of lever in the down position. As water is dropping into the cylinder's container on the end of a lever in the up position and the levers end drops under the weight of the within said container the pivoting lever pivots on said spindle as one rod end is pulled down and the other rod rises pulling the adjacent cylinder's empty container end of lever in the down position up

The Lee Drive 4 multiple cylinder turbine uses mechanical advantage of leverage (the distance of a section of a lever from its fulcrum to its container of water on one side of said lever's fulcrum). Our water driven Lee Drive 4 multiple cylinder low head or high head turbine generates torque in that a number of cylinder's dropping levers and their container of water on one side of said lever's fulcrum times the weight of said water in number of water filled container simultaneously dropping times the length of said section of said levers from their container of water minus said lever's non-container length. Compared to the massive volume of water falling from highs which drive the large 70 ton Francis turbines along not considering the torque requires by the megawatt generator.

Our levers are counterweighted by the cables running from one cylinder's dropping water filled container end of their levers in the up position which are dropping to the adjacent side by side cylinder's empty container of lever in the down position.

Also our turbine has the cable attached to the bottom of each side by side cylinder's rack gears. One side by side cylinder with the dropping lever and its container of water rack gear in the down position rising and the adjacent cylinder's rack gear in the up position in the cable is pulling down this off set the massive weight of the Frances turbine allowing our turbine to use much less water using gravity to drop from lower heads in to our turbine containers while generating the require amounts of torque.

Our curved lever or lever's step-down container end of lever and curved lever or lever's step-down non-container ends of a lever allow our turbine to use water from many of the non-energy producing low head dam and waterfalls to generate rpm and torque which drive megawatt generators to generate megawatts of energy using the water from low head dams and waterfalls, many of the non-energy producing dams as well.

Out curved levers allows for very long container end of levers on one side of said lever's fulcrum with shorter non-container ends of lever which allows use to use much less water in said containers fall from low head dams and waterfalls to generate massive amounts of torque and drive larger Megawatt generators or gearbox/megawatt generator units to generate megawatts of energy.

One example of our low head twenty side by side cylinder water driven turbine 10-megawatt energy system staged near a non-energy producing 35 foot tall dam with four gates follows. We've attached water collection tanks to the top of each gate. Each water tanks have a bottom pipe with a motor drive valve. When the gates open water from said dam's reservoir fills said water tanks.

A water tank with bottom attached water deliver tubes is attached to the turbine's top platform and a water capture tank is staged under said turbine.

Said captured water drains through our perforate drainpipe which is staged along the top of the receiver water this reduce erosion.
- 13. A third set of five cylinder's water delivery tubes bottom valve motors are signaled to rotate said bottom valves open as said water delivery tubes 1000 gallons of water drop down into said five cylinders empty containers over said water delivery tubes. Said five cylinder's water filled container and their lever end drop at the acceleration of gravity minus drag which maintains the 4,000,000 lb-ft of torque minus drag through said turbines components, gearbox/10 MW generator unit as said 10 MW generator generates 10 MW of energy.
- 14. A signal is simultaneously sent to the bottom valve's motors of five sets of cylinder's empty water delivery tubes to rotate said bottom valve close. simultaneously a signal is sent the top said five empty water delivery tube's top valves motor to rotate said valves open and water from said water tank refills said five empty water delivery tubes. A signal is sent to said top valves motor of said five water delivery tube's top valves said motor rotates said top valves close.
- 15. the process repeats from procedure #7.

For this sample process the water filled container end of said five cylinders will drop such that the non-container rises 12.56 feet which turns the 4 foot diameter drive gears one revolution. Lets assume that the water filled container of lever will drop 15 feet which will take 0.97 seconds. This is equal to 61.9 rpm of the four foot diameter drive gears. The four foot diameter drive gear which is driving the 18 inch diameter gearboxes input shafts gear will reach a rpm equal to 61.9 rpm×(48 inch/18 inch)=61.9×2.66=165.06 rpm. The 10 MW generator requires 900 rpm therefore the gearbox ratio must be 6 to 1.
