Electricity production using a solar heat source glasshouse or water vaporization, to drive hot air balloons whose rate of ascent is used to drive an electric motor

摘要

The hot air balloon has two circular light rigid half shells about 250 meters wide which but up against each other when the balloon is not inflated. Inside these shells is a folded balloon envelope. In the top half shell are two 100 meter wide light hydrogen or helium gas chambers with convex lens covers and in between these two chambers is a 20 meter wide air output chamber. Attached to the top half shell are insulated tethering cables. In the lower half shell are two rolled up skirts for which are unrolled in calm weather. The central part of the lower half shell forms the base of the balloon and is of the same material, in this base is a warm air inlet tube. When deployed the canopy forms into a large dimension cylinder, 220 meters wide, between the two half shells. The fluid motor is atmospheric air heated by contact with a energy source. The piston is a hot air balloon whose ascent extends over several kilometers using the high troposphere as cooling source. The tare of the balloon is zero or negative due to the use of auxiliary balloons filled with hydrogen of helium. The best efficiency is produced by first part of the ascent made with a constant air quantity and a rising volume and the second part with a constant volume and decreasing quantity of air. Further claims include balloon filling, electrical power generation. balloon ascent and descent, etc.
