Are you as tired with all the goose-stepping, do as the scientists tell us to do, think as the scientists tell us to think, as I am? Can looking at the World upside-down help develop a very simple idea, too simple not to work, that can power the World in actuality? You decide.
Here you will find drawings and descriptions of my newest invention the ” Pneumatic-Electric Power
Generating System”. See if you can find the logic error in it, IF there is one that is. AFC
The purpose of this device is to generate electrical power by using the lifting power of air rising in water. My device acts like a hydroelectric power generator in that the deeper the water the more efficient the power output. But my device needs no dam or river or external water supply when an air compressor supplies the needed air.
Note: 1. An air bubble rises in water at about one (1) foot per second of time. 2. The lifting force of air rising in water is directly equal to the weight of the displaced water. Thus a one (1) cubic foot air bubble has the lifting force of one (1) cubic foot (62 pounds) of water. 3. As an air bubble rises in
water its volume increases due to a lowering of its surrounding water pressure.
The device works as follows:
The air compressor or air pump/regulator supplies the high-pressure air volume that the air pump-
regulator inserts into the air wheels air chambers. With the compressed air inside the air chambers
it begins to rise to the the surface of the water adding forces to the device. There might be hundreds of air chambers in operation simultaneously. As this compressed air rises it expands due to the now lowering water pressure that surrounds it. The lifting power of air in water is directly related to its volume of water displacement. As the air volume increases so too does its lifting force. The airs lifting forces will keep increasing until it reaches the waters surface or it is ejected from the
device. These air chambers are affixed to a roller chain that is connected to wheels at both ends of
the airwheel loop, as shown. As the air chambers lift they force the wheels to rotate. This rotation is
is then converted into electrical power. Then these air chambers lose there air at the top of the
airwheel and, now deflated and streamlined, travel downwards to be recharged with air at the air
pump-regulator to start the cycle all over again.
Page 1: shows a simple drawing of the airwheel next to a dam. As the drawing shows air is placed
into the air chambers at the bottom and this air adds upwards force to the device at an increasing
rate until it is dumped out near the top.
Page. 2: shows a frontal view of the airwheel and demonstrates the air expansion-lifting force
increase principle. As this drawing shows with a 700 foot tall Hoover Dam elevation airwheel an
insertion of one (1) cubic foot of air (62 lbs. lifting force) will expand to twenty (20) cubic of air
(1240 lbs lifting force) as it nears the surface where it is then ejected. These now empty and
collapsed air chambers return to the bottom to be recharged with air again to continue the cycle.
Note: There is a throttle for this machine in that more air can be injected into the air chambers at the beginning of its cycle. This will end up increasing the lifting power of the air chambers at an
accelerated rate. Example: If two (2) cubic feet of air were injected into the beginning of the device
in page 2, it would start out with 124 lbs. of lifting force and be “full” (1240 lbs) half way up. This
would add many thousands of extra pounds of lifting force to the device. A pressure relief valve
ensures that the air chambers are not damaged by over inflation.
Page 3, shows a close-up of a bellows style air chamber with rotating air nozzle head that inserts the air into the air chamber through the spring-loaded valve. This drawing shows the air valve section located in the middle of the support shafts with two opposing bellows style air chambers. As the drawing shows air is inserted into the air chambers at the lowest point of the airwheels cycle. The air pump-regulator rotates and is timed to the air chambers rotation.
The POWER of AIR ( 2 pages) is comparison of power output between my airwheel and today’s Hoover Dam. As it shows, even after subtracting 30% for drag, my machine is 146 times more
efficient!
US Patent Pending (61/571,218).
In conclusion I would like to add that unlike today’s hydroelectric power plants that only use the
power of high pressure water for fraction of a second and thus only transfer power to the water turbine wheels, for a fraction of a second, my device utilizes the lifting power of air from hundreds of air chambers for many minutes as its speed is optimal at approximately one foot rise per second of time. It is a slow RPM machine but it has the potential to POWER the WORLD!
