ABSTRACT:
There is no government assistance in this invention, hence, the inventor's right is 100%.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
This invention deals with the maximization of efficiency in fluid deflection for the purpose of maximizing conversion of the energy of fluids in motion by means of wide-face sail or by means of turbines with the blades made wide-face. It also deals with maximization of efficiency in turbine-type pumping of fluids by means of oppositely rotating multistage turbines with the blades made wide-face. It should be noted that fluid includes matters in liquid state as well as matters in gaseous state, hence, this invention also deals with wind turbines having blades made wide-face and a pair of said wind turbine being coupled together and made to rotate opposite against each other to maximize the conversion of the wind energy and to double the speed of the electric generator that it drives, it being that the pipe magnet rotates opposite against the rotation of the pipe induction wire coil. In trying to maximize energy harvest from nature, special new designs of wide-face deflectors, control systems, data collectors, butterfly-wing wide-face turbine blades, oppositely rotating driven devices in the water and up in the sky, wideface solar trap, and lighter than air structures,and wideface resistors poped up.
This new idea deals with various new applications of the wide face fluid impeder device that has been already conceived in my previous patents as indicated in the above identified cross-references. By nurturing the concept of the wide face fluid impeder device, several and various applications, hybrids of ideas, and new concept of structures/configurations, upon which the functions of the wide face fluid impeder device, had poped up into view. It should be noted at this point the word fluid applies to or includes water, air, or oil. It should also be noted at this point that the word impede refers to relative movement between the fluid and the wide face impeder device, wherein, either the fluid is preventing the free movement of the wide face impeder device, or tile wide face impeder device is preventing the free movement of the fluid, or that the wide face impeder device is driving the fluid from one place to another place, and/or that the fluid is driving the wide face impeder device from one place to another place. The situation depends upon the purpose of the resulting mechanical reaction, wherein, both the impeder and the fluid are approaching stationary condition, or both the impeder and the fluid are in motion driving each other. In this particular invention, in some of the apparatus, the wide face impeder device is being prevented to move up or down by the still water under the ocean surface in which case, the wide face device is serving as an anti-oscillation device, and in other apparatus, the wide face impeder device, in the form of a paddle wheel, is preventing the free flow of the river water in order to store the water and to develop water head that drives the paddle wheel. In another apparatus, the wide face impeder device, in the form of a wind sail, is being manipulated to drive a recreation swing to move left and right thru the action of the wind. In other parts of this invention, it demonstrates the additional new uses of the floater pipes that are bundle together to form a vertical stack piles of pipes to serve as a footing that floats on water to carry structures above the water surface to insure a minimum in oscillation caused by the water waves, as illustrated by part 170 shown in FIG. 5 of my U.S Pat. No. 5,094,595, and by part Nos. 3, 4, 5 shown in FIG. 1 of my U.S. Pat. No. 5,027,735, in complementary action with the function of the antioscillation wide face impeder device. In another part of this invention, the wide face fluid impeder device, in the form of a rectangular folding Butterfly-wing-type turbine blade, is used as wind sail to drive a sail windmill in the form of an elevated closed-loop rope that serve as drive chain to turn a gear wheel, a hybrid of the wind-mill illustrated by FIG. 1 of the U.S. Pat. No. 4,859,146, as illustrated in my prior inventions identified in the above references.
2. Description of the Prior Arts
The prior application Ser. No. 08/097,655 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,435,259 has presented a wideface wind deflector, oppositely rotating turbines, and oppositely rotating electrict generators, but they were not abondantly viewed in details and the claims applied for including 38 other claims were not granted, hence, this continuation-in-part application is submitted in pursuit of the ungranted claims. Additionally, various new concepts, new inventions, new creations, and new technologies using the same principle of the wideface fluid impeder device are hereby presented and applied for patent, since the prior patents do not present and do not claim similar ideas/concepts as it is hereby now presented and claimed for.
The evolution of the idea started from my previous invention U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,052,902 and 5,094,595, wherein, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5, the wide face impeder device, part #130 is called an impact wall, it being bumped by the horizontally moving water waves in order to drive a horizontally activated piston type pump. In the same U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,052,902 and 5,094,595, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 9, and FIG. 10, the wide face impeder device pail #207 is disposed horizontally in still waters to serve as an anti-oscillation device in order to prevent the floating pipe foundation part #170 from being oscillated by the water waves, and to prevent the floating air compressor, the apparatus of FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, from being oscillated too much by the water waves. Again in my previous invention U.S. Pat. No. 5,507,943, the same wideface fluid impeder device has been used to serve and to function as an anti-oscillation device to stabilized a floating sea wall that converts the energy of the water waves in another kind of configuration, as illustrated by part #48 in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5.
From the above history, the wide face fluid impeder device has been already used in many functions, but after further explorations, it can be made in many forms and it can be used in many functions. The claims in my previous patents are very general which lack details and adequate understanding of the various possibilities of new configurations and the various details of scientific applications of this wideface fluid impeder device.
In the prior arts:
a. There is no intention to use the wideface fluid impeder device as a component pail of a platform or a missile silo that is floating on the ocean or submerged under the ocean;
b. There is no detailed illustration of a joint assembly of the wideface anti-oscillation resister device with the single stack of floater pipes to to serve as footing of structures or boats floating out on the ocean;
c. There is no detailed illustration wherein the wideface anti-oscillation device is used as propeller to push the boat forward by the energy of the water waves;
d. There is no concept wherein a plurality of pipes are arranged side-by-side to form a wideface device to serve as a thin hull of a boat or as a thin hull of an aircraft carrier or a thin hull of a missile ship, or a thin hull in a radiant formation to form a 4-quadrant thin missile submarine;
e. There is no concept wherein the wideface device is used to form a paddle wheel turbine that serves as water dam;
f. The prior art do not present similar concepts as it is now being presented;
hence, the herein new inventions being applied for patent to illustrate further explorations and new discoveries, and to further illustrate in new details in which the prior arts failed to present similar concepts, for clearer understanding of the various functions and uses of the wideface fluid impeder device which serves as a tool of the herein inventor to lead mankind into further realization and recognition of what GOD has prepared for mankind.
