A hydro power, potential energy cum gravity driven dual giant wheel system for generating electricity from low pressure water sources

摘要

pThe invention comprises a dual gigantic wheels arranged in parallel to each other and connected at the central pivot position for executing a parallel vertical rotation with minimum friction. These wheels are provided with specially designed buckets fixedly connected to the said wheel's outer periphery at equally spaced apart positions and connected to the wheel's central pivot through a flexible metallic chain. Or any other - mechanism . A plurality of spaced apart fluid transporting pipes conveys the water or any fluid from the river bed to the said buckets positioned on the said wheels.The potential energy, hydro power and gravitational energy of the fluid stored in the said specially designed buckets initiate a continuous rotational movement to the said dual gigantic wheels. A plurality of the power generating means arranged along the inner periphery of the said wheels convert the said energy into the electrical energy and transported through the grids. The said system in general comprises a parallel arranged double wheel-assembly comprising two identical giant wheels spaced apart mounted in a vertical orientation on a horizontal axle with a low friction pivoting connection, the two wheels balanced evenly relative to the horizontal axle for a smooth rotation about the horizontal axle; a series of buckets evenly and fixedly spaced around the outer perimeters of the two wheels, each having a single opening for admitting a fluid into the bucket receptacle with the bucket receptacle in an upright position and the single opening allowing fluid to flow out of the bucket receptacle with the bucket in an inverted position, a plurality of sturts connecting the' said double giant wheels placed between the two wheels interconnecting the two wheels; a series of chains connecting the said buckets to the axel of the said giant wheel, a plurality of water conducting pipes transporting the water, from the low pressure source to the said plurality of buckets, an electricity generating assembly attached to the inner periphery of the said double giant wheels wherein the at least one armature rotatable between at least one pair of magnets to create an electric current in the at least one armature and at least one. generator drive wheel connected to the at least one armature by a means to cause a rotation of the at least one armature between the at least one pair of magnets, the at least one generator drive wheel contacting the wheel assembly so that the rotation of the wheel assembly causes the at least one generator drive wheel to create a rotation of the at least one armature to generate an electric current in the at least one armature; and a means for conducting the electric current away from the at least one armature for use of the electric current.
