ABSTRACT:
FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method, mechanism, device and system for converting environmental energy especially of an environmental heat (kinetic energy of randomly moving particles, meaning, with no need of a temperature differences from the first place in this environment), into a usable form of energy (e.g., mechanical or electrical energy).
Environmental friendly prior state of the state of the art technologies in the field of energy conversion teach the use of solar, wind and sea waves as a primary source of readily available energy to be converted into electrical energy and the like.
Such prior state of the state of the art technologies have a major drawback since they depend upon the availability of the primary energy sources. For example solar energy is not available during night time. Wind is not always blowing at a constant speed and direction, whereas sea waves to a great extent depend upon tide cycles.
The prior art fails to teach the use environmental heat or kinetic energy of particles as an energy source for such conversions.
As well known, any fluid material, such as gas and liquid or the like, is made of more or less freely moving particles (atoms, molecules, clusters thereof, etc.) which at a given temperature acquire a certain kinetic energy or heat energy value (90 kcal for m
3
of air, 300 kcal for 1 kg of water under environmental conditions).
According to the present invention the kinetic energy of particles of a fluid (gas or liquid) is used as a primary energy source for conversion into a usable form of energy, such as an electrical energy.
Also we have an academic support include in writing attached by this, of the physicist Alex Lifshits from ISRAEL.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention there are provided a method, mechanism, device and system for converting environmental energy (especially of heat) into a useful form of energy, by utilizing the kinetic energy of randomly moving particles.
According to further features in preferred embodiments of the invention described below the mentioned above method comprising an operation steps of a mechanism which selectively blocks more particles that are moving in one general direction. (linear and/or rotary) than particles that are moving in the opposite direction to the first one, for creating an equivalent vectorial force, &Sgr;Fx, and/or a pressure difference and/or a flow of gases/liquids particles, and by these supply energy for different purposes.
According to still further features in the described preferred embodiments said force that created on said mechanism is usable for moving a body which the mechanism is connected to.
According to still further features in the described preferred embodiments the body is a permeable membrane.
According to still further features in the described preferred embodiments the mechanism comprising at least one of the following:
1) a unidirectional permeable surface (also a membrane) to the moving particles,
2) a tiny unidirectional elements that their smallest dimension (from x,y,z dimensions) can be from one single atom, till 1 mm, and can be with a moveable part or stationary, and can comprising at least one of the following: a) unidirectional gates, or b) unidirectional blocks, etc.
3) a magnet that operate in interaction with ions and muzzles.
Also said mechanism can comprising additionally a barrier(also in plural)
According to further features in preferred embodiments of the invention the mentioned above device comprising the mentioned above mechanism and aid means comprising a body on which the mentioned mechanism will be attached to, and can be unseparated from said mechanism and in some of this cases we will related to this body as said mechanism, also the mentioned above aid means are barriers, a pivot and etc.
According to further features in preferred embodiments of the invention described below the mentioned above system comprising the mentioned above device which is including the mentioned a mechanism, and by them, it is converting environmental energy (especially of heat) into a useful form of energy, and supply energy for different purposes. Also the system can comprise a randomly moving particle (atoms, molecules, clusters thereof, etc.) that the mentioned above mechanism substantially selectively blocks by there direction, Also this system can contain a container in which will be the above mentioned device, and also some kind of a transmission system and also a heat exchanger.
According to still further features in one of the described preferred embodiments the particles are ions.
According to still further features in preferred embodiments of the invention described below, there is provided a method for manufacturing a mechanism which converting kinetic energy of particles into a usable form of energy.
The present invention successfully addresses the shortcomings of the presently known configurations by providing a method mechanism device and system for converting kinetic energy of randomly moving particles into a usable form of energy, which operate under any conditions.
