b) Description of the Prior Art
Conventional ships are generally propelled by the propeller, which has many problems as the following:
- 1. The front edge of the blade suffers persistent high pressure, and the surface of the blade suffers persistent friction, both of them consume kinetic energy.
- 2. The propeller exerts centrifuging force to the water and creates low pressure zone behind the hub, both of them consume kinetic energy.
- 3. The cavitation at the tip of the blades consumes kinetic energy also causes erosion and noise.
- 4. The naked propeller tend to be damaged by the drift, tangled by the rope, or harmful to the marine life.
- 5. The propeller vibrates heavily and produces huge noise.
- 6. The propeller needs high technology and high cost for manufacturing and repairing.
The present invention is a revolutionary device that can replace traditional propeller and solve all above problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a vortex dynamic propulsion structure, which can be used for driving the fluid inside the round pipe or applying its counterforce for propulsion of the vehicle. Such revolutionary device can fulfill the requirements of low costs, compact in structure, durable, facilitate for installation and repairing, environment friendly, energy saving and high efficiency.
In order to fulfill above requirements, the present invention adopts following technical measures:
The present invention is a vortex dynamic propulsion structure, which consists of a guiding tube that tangentially inserted into a round pipe. The guiding stream is injected through the guiding tube into the round pipe and transformed into vortex, then advances against the designated end of the pipe.
There are two measures to advance the vortex in the round pipe against designated end: either applying round pipe with different opening sizes at the ends or applying sloped guiding tube for round pipe with the same opening size at both ends.
In the above mentioned vortex dynamic propulsion structure, the guiding stream is injected through the guiding tube into the round pipe tangentially, then transformed into vortex along the inner surface of the round pipe. For round pipe with different opening sizes at the ends, the vortex advances against the larger opening of the round pipe which is the fluid outlet. For round pipe with the same opening size at both ends, applying sloped guiding tube to produce bias vortex so that advances against designated opening of the round pipe which is the fluid outlet.
In the above mentioned vortex dynamic propulsion structure, the vortex drives the static core fluid in the round pipe and the latter becomes the mainstream. The vortex guides and accelerates the mainstream persistently.
In the above mentioned vortex dynamic propulsion structure, the mainstream merges with guiding stream and advances against the outlet of the round pipe. Meanwhile, the low pressure of the vacant core area sucks external fluid into the round pipe from opposite end which is the fluid inlet. There is directional mainstream between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet.
In the above mentioned vortex dynamic propulsion structure, the accelerated mainstream passes through the vortex in perpendicular, the mainstream and the vortex feedback and accelerate each other.
In the above mentioned vortex dynamic propulsion structure, the directional mainstream produces propulsion at the fluid outlet and produces suction at the fluid inlet. Manipulate the speed of the guiding stream can control the speed of the mainstream.
In the above mentioned vortex dynamic propulsion structure, connect two vortex dynamic propulsion structures reversely with inlets coupled together can transform into the combined vortex dynamic propulsion structure. Injecting guiding stream into either guiding tube can produce directional mainstream, injecting guiding stream into alternative guiding tube can produce opposite mainstream.
In the above mentioned combined vortex dynamic propulsion structure, each guiding tube can control the direction and speed of the mainstream independently. Installing the combined vortex dynamic propulsion structure on the vehicle, can control the vehicle moving ahead or astern, accelerating or decelerating, thus fulfills the requirements of compact in structure, durable, facilitate for installation and repairing, energy saving and high efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Please refer to FIG. 1a which is the embodiment of present invention. The guiding stream 21 is injected into the round (conical) pipe 1 through guiding tube 2 and transformed into vortex 22 in the round (conical) pipe 1. The vortex 22 advances against the larger opening which is the fluid outlet 12. Please refer to FIG. 1b that the sloped guiding tube 2 is inserted tangentially into the round pipe 1. The guiding stream 21 is injected into the round pipe 1 through sloped guiding tube 2 and transformed into bias vortex 22 in round pipe 1. The bias vortex 22 advances against designated opening which is the fluid outlet 12. The fluid outlet 12 can be polygon shape to transform the vortex into longitudinal flow, so that can increase the overall flow speed.
