Definitions
- This invention relates to an apparatus for utilizing water movement energy to generate electricity.
- the apparatus is thus useful to produce electric energy by taping the energy intrinsic in water movement in canals, rivers, seas and oceans to generate electricity.
- Still another disadvantage associated with the known devices is that known devices are unable to tap energy from water streams having low depths.
- an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for utilizing water movement energy available in canals, rivers, seas, oceans, etc. which obviates the disadvantages associated with the prior art.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for utilizing water movement energy and to generate electricity in all kinds of conditions that is when the apparatus is submerged in water partially or fully.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for utilizing water movement energy and to generate electricity and which is cheap in cost, but has high efficiency.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for utilizing water movement energy and to generate electricity which can work irrespective of the water level present in the river, sea and ocean in order to tap the intrinsic energy of the water movement.
- an apparatus for utilizing water movement energy comprising plurality of blade adapted to be secured with a shaft being secured with a support frame at an angle with respect to the water level available in the water resources, the support frame being mounted on a pedestal adapted to be secured with a plurality of support rods provided at angle, the angular support rods 5 being secured with a main support frame, one end of the angular shaft being coupled with a gearbox, adapted to be secured with an alternator provided for generating electricity, a cover being provided such that to create an air trap to facilitate rotation of the blades uninterruptedly.
- Fig. 1 illustrates sectional view of the apparatus of the present invention
- Fig. 2 illustrates isometric view of the apparatus of the present invention
- the apparatus comprises a plurality of blade 1 adapted to be secured with a shaft 2 at an angle with respect to the water level available in the water resources, for example canals, rivers, seas and oceans, so as to constitute a turbine.
- the angular shaft 2 is secured with a support frame 3, rotatablely.
- the support frame 3 is mounted on a pedestal 4 and the pedestal is adapted to be secured with a plurality of support rods 5 provided at an angle.
- the angular support rods 5 are adapted to be secured with a main support frame 6 provided over the support frame 3 at a desired height.
- the top end of the angular shaft 2 is coupled with a gearbox 7 through a coupling 8.
- the shaft of the gearbox 7 is adapted to be secured with an alternator (not shown) provided for generating electricity.
- a cover 9, adapted to be secured with the pedestal 4, is provided such that to provide an air trap at the side of the blades which are kept at a slanting height above the water level available in the water resources.
- the blade 1 are of flat plate type blades and thus the manufacturing cost of the blades is reduced substantially.
- the blades 1 are secured with the angular shaft by means of riveting, welding and or nuts and volts.
- presence of the water inside the cover 9 is reduced by increasing air pressure inside the cover 9. During the operation of the device, the water pushes the turbine blade 1 which are in contact with the water, but the blades rotates in the air trap provided inside the cover 9 at the other side without obstruction a the water is not present there.
- the angular shaft is rotated and consequently shaft of the alternator is rotated and electricity is generated.
