DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a power generator, and in particular relates to a power generator which consumes almost no fossil fuels, does not pollute the environment, and which makes it possible to obtain large amounts of power at low cost.
BACKGROUND ART
Presently, power generators can be classified into thermal power generators, hydroelectric power generators, nuclear power generators, solar power generators, and the like.
However, thermal power generators, which are presently the main form of power generator, generate CO.sub.2 gas, and are thus a substantial contributor to the present global warming; furthermore, they necessitate the widespread use of antipollution devices in order to prevent the atmospheric pollution which results from the combustion of large amounts of fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal.
Hydroelectric power generators do not present the problem of atmospheric pollution; however, not only are a great number of sites required for dam construction and the like, but also almost no appropriate sites having economically advantageous site conditions remain.
As can be seen from the case of the Chernobyl accident, should an accident occur in a nuclear power generator, the effects on the environment and human beings are extremely great. At the same time, uranium, which serves as the raw material for such power plants, is a type of fossil fuel, so that the amount of underground deposits thereof is limited.
Solar cell power generators make it possible to obtain clean power; however, the cost thereof is high, and the service life of the devices is short, and large-scale power generation is difficult.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a power generator which uses almost no fossil fuels, does not pollute the environment, and makes it possible to obtain large amounts of power at low cost.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
In order to solve the above-stated problems, in the power generator of the present invention, a solution comprising a solvent, which itself does not dissociate, having added thereto a substance which dissociates in this solvent, is placed within a container having an inner surface possessing corrosion resistance and electrically insulating properties with respect to the solution, having a large work function, are immersed in the solution stored within the container, in a mutually opposing manner, and solution, are provided.
Here, the requirements for the solvent are as follows. be wide, and the solvent must be in a liquid form at temperatures close to room temperature. not been added, the solvent should possess as large an electric resistivity as possible. possible to produce negative and positive ions, and this ion concentration should be as high as possible, while the electric resistivity should be as small as possible. viscosity thereof should be as low as possible. explosiveness.
Furthermore, the conditions required for the substance to be added are as follows. at as high a concentration as possible. reactivity, and after the transfer of electrons between the anode electrode and cathode electrode has occurred, these ions should not precipitate and adhere to the electrode surfaces, but should enter a gaseous or liquid state.
Furthermore, in order to apply electrons as efficiently as possible to the positive ions generated in the solvent, it is required that the work function of the cathode electrode be as great as possible.
In order to capture electrons as efficiently as possible from the negative ions produced in the solvent, it is required that the work function of the anode electrode be as small as possible.
More concretely, the power generator of the present invention is provided with at least: electrically insulating properties with respect to hydrogen fluoride containing moisture, been added, which solution is stored within the container so as to be isolated from the atmosphere, with respect to hydrogen fluoride containing moisture and having a small work function, and a cathode electrode comprising a material possessing corrosio
