Cavitation electricity generating plant - uses alternating cavitation and condensation to vary volume of fluid in chamber and move piston

摘要

The cavitative electricity-generating plant has a vacuum chamber (1) supported on uprights (3) by trunnions (2). One upright mounts an electric motor (7) with belt (5) drive to a trunnion-extension (4). The chamber has a main (10) and a secondary (11) portion, the latter comprising condensate space (12) plus a cylinder (13) with a - telescopic-sleeve sealed - piston (14). A slider (20) can separate the portions. Oscillating the chamber between a vertical and a (substantially) horizontal position connects closure-equipped end-fittings (21) on a separate fluid-circuit within the chamber alternately respectively with supply (22,23) and exhaust (25,26) pipes of a heating (22,25) and a cooling (23,26) water system. Cavitation and/or condensation produced in the secondary chamber by this alternation causes piston movement, transmitted via a clutch (17) and ratchet-input gearing (18) to a generator (9).
