PNEUMATIC/HYDRAULIC
CYCLE (P/H CYCLE)
The other thing
I thought you'd be interested in is my FREE
ENERGY air over water calculations. It turns out
(on paper; I haven't built one yet) that if you
compress air in a container that contains water,
and you force the water out to drive a turbine;
that (under certain conditions) it takes less
energy to compress the air than you get from the
water. The main thing you must do is "recycle"
the pressurized air, you double the efficiency
and the system becomes self operating with (a
small) net power output.
I thought of
this while driving back from the 1996
International Tesla Symposium. I had been doing
much research on Pneumatic and Hydraulic systems
and had a lot of stuff floating around in my
head. Suddenly there was a connection-question;
"Does it take less energy to compress air to a
given pressure than to pump water to the same
pressure?" Preliminary calculations in my head
were positive. Later at home I confirmed them
but also confirmed that the system would be
nearly unity; no good for what I needed. Later,
as I was playing around with the idea, I
suddenly realized the possibility of a "closed
loop" in which we recycle the compressed air
(much like my Energy Conserver experiments); and
that idea made the P/H cycle
practical......Maybe :))))
Best scenario
I've figured out uses three tanks that operate
in a "closed loop" cycle. This allows the
compressed air to be "recycled", reducing the
power needed by the machine
(compressor).
Ordinarily if
you compress a gas, it will get hot because the
heat contained in the volume of gas is
compressed in a smaller space. Compressing this
hot gas takes a lot more compressor power. If we
could keep the gas from getting hot as we
compressed it, it would take a lot less
compressor power to get the same gas pressure.
The compressor power is less because we figure
out ways to bypass the 'heating'. This is the
most important key of this design.
This technology
is also used in our new thermodynamic cycle, the
'Wise Cycle'.
