ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method for reusing the thermal expansion energy of a substance and, more particularly, to a method for reusing the expanded substance, using the thermal expansion energy from heating the substance. The substance is thermal expansion energy is used as expansion energy, and the expanded substance can be reused by raising the substance to a high temperature range the first given heat getting a lift chemical bond from the energy of the expanded substance, which applies a mechanism that the bonding energy is equal to the decomposing energy
2. Description of Related Art
Until now, the heat used to increase the temperature of a substance for example, water, and expand the substance, has been disposed without a reusing procedure as it is emitted after a one time expansion of the substance. For example, a boiler in a general power plant is heated to convert water into high-pressure water vapor, which is used for driving a turbine and then converted to a low-temperature water vapor with a large volume.
This water vapor is cooled and radiates heat using seawater etc., in order to be condensed into water again. Water vapor changes into water after radiating all the heat first given in a boiler. And then, the water is infused into the boiler and heated again to generate a high-pressure water vapor. This procedure is repeated.
In general, a propulsive energy from matter for example, power plants, rockets and the like obtains propulsive energy from bond reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. That is, the method for using thermal expansion energy of the conventional substance is limited to only the first exothermal expansion, for example, H
2
+O—(the first exothermal expansion ↑)→H

O(shrinkage).
Therefore, the energy required for the thermal expansion is not reused and all the first given heat in the power plant is radiated through the repeated procedure of heating and cooling. This causes waste of energy resources and air pollution such as thermal pollution, and involves a problem that enormous energy needed to propel artificial satellites also depends on the only the first expansion energy.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for reusing a substance's thermal expansion energy wherein the first given thermal expansion energy can be reused by repeating chemical bonding and electrolysis of a substance, and is based on getting a lift in the first given thermal energy by using chemical bonding etc. in addition to the principle that the substance absorbs heat as its volume increases but emits heat as the volume decreases, for saving energy resources and minimizing fuel as well as greating decreasing pollution even in the field of applications requiring a mass of energy such as power plants and rockets.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for reusing substance's thermal expansion energy through getting a lift at high temperature from a low-temperature heat diffused in the substance by repeated combination of a metal with water or oxygen and decomposition of the product of metal oxide, whereby the method consists of the steps: (a) raising the temperature of the substance with an increase in the pressure; (b) increasing the volume of the substance with an increase in the temperature; (c) providing the specific heat of the substance in inverse proportion to the specific gravity; (d) increasing the specific gravity of the substance as the metal combines with oxygen to generate heat and generating the heat as the space between molecules or atoms of the substance is reduced; and (e) providing a chemical bonding energy equal to a decomposition energy wherein the heat is not used or consumed, but diffused into the space.
Other objects and further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description give hereinafter. It should be understood, however, that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description
