Description

Be used for the system that produces mechanical energy by electric energy
Technical field
The present invention relates to the engine power field, clearly say, relate to dielectric vapor mixing engine system.
Background technology
Can satisfy and even to surpass the steam engine of modern automotive performance requriements early stage from the middle 1920s and the thirties in 20th century at least, Abner Doble just knows when having carried out the reform of the mechanism that is used to operate several self-propelled vehicle steam engines (boiler, blowing engine, piston, gear, valve, or the like).He has also developed " Paxton Phoenix Project " steam racing car early stage several years of the 1950's, this steam racing car is by McCullochMotors Corporation (now with chain saw etc. and well-known) exploitation.Yet what emphasize in ProjectPhoenix (also using gasoline as its fuel source) is the racing car of production High Performance, and this High Performance racing car can surpass existing internal combustion (IC) Engine Design; Acting relates to engine pressure and the temperature more much higher than the automobile of the thirties in 20th century, even necessary more much bigger than the vehicle of producing current general use.
The US Patent 6,379,962 of Blau has been described a kind of steam engine, and wherein, steam is produced by the cell electrical drive system of high frequency radio wave energy and power actuated vehicle.It is described to, and comprises to the motor vehicle drives components of system as directed: steam engine, non-burning high frequency radio wave generating apparatus mainly are the radio microwaves from magnetometer, are used to add hot water to produce the steam of supplying with described steam engine; Supply unit is used for electric power is offered described non-burning high frequency radio wave heating arrangement; And the additional electrical engine drive device, before advancing, for described power actuated vehicle provides initial propulsion by described steam engine.The method that Blau proposes starts enough " working steam " to be offered between the point of steam engine with it at it and has significant time lag, so its requires the use of additional electrical motor to fill up these gaps.
The U.S. Patent Application Publication 2003/0230446A1 of Fasanello and 2004/0065499A1 described a kind of electric-the steam propulsion system.Fasanello adopts him to be called the device that is used to boil liquid of " flash distillation " type heater element boiler." flash distillation " type boiler that Fasanello describes comprises the coil pipe system, and has inherent limitations and harm, and these inherent limitations and harm are not restrictions of the present invention.For example, the place one's entire reliance upon use of stratie of these " flash distillation " type boilers, these straties must utilize than the heat transfer surface of wishing under the significantly high temperature of vapor (steam) temperature, and this is undesirable.The efficient of such unit depends on heat transference efficiency, and heat transference efficiency highly depends on heat transfer surface again, and along with current increase and sharply reduce, this requires a large amount of electric power to continue heat process again.Along with the use that increases, because water flashes to steam, mineral matter is left and is deposited on by the form that bakes " incrustation scale " on the heat transfer surface of heat.These sediments further reduce heat transference efficiency.
Driving engine the expert recognize chronically, steam engine is simpler than engine petrol, and be superior in self-propelled vehicle aspect the performance, these performancees comprise: leave the heat of the huge torque as required of dead position, much lower engine speed, much less, almost do not have noise, high cruising speed, the more high-power and tractive force under low speed, fast and pulsation-free quicken the moving parts of (this has exempted the needs for gear or driving device), much less, much simple design, more cheap material, and much not strict tolerance.Yet, even when carrying out more effort with recovery and the racing car of development steam power in the 1950's, steam bus engine design (they undoubtedly are first-class) can not overcome the basic problem relevant with boiler with their complicated gasoline combustion device simply.During 90 years, the bottom line of steam bus engine design is always in the past: they still need gasoline to supply with power to their high-temperature flame device, and the each trial when making their modernizations is all based on boiler mechanism.
Correspondingly, need such system, in these systems, can make the steam engine that neither uses gasoline also not use other fossil fuel practical more, can bear and efficiently, being used for to supplying with power, and be used for other purposes of being undertaken by combustion engine at present such as the modern vehicle of automobile and truck.
Summary of the invention
Correspondingly, the invention provides such system, by these systems, the advantageous characteristic of steam engine (this steam engine by modern material, manufacturing technology, and the driving engine innovation in several years therebetween upgrade) can be by energy efficient and practical way utilization and use, to be used for supplying with power to modern vehicle such as automobile and truck.By power supply being switched to chargeable battery and replacing old-fashioned burner section and boiler means (this electric steam generator boils dielectric fluid to produce steam and to keep the working steam reserves) with electric steam generator, the simplicity, original power and the High Performance that keep steam engine simultaneously, the invention provides unique combination of described advantage, so that a kind of practicality and dielectric-vapor mixing driving engine efficiently to be provided.
The present invention relates to a kind of novelty and non-obvious design, the element of three kinds of fundamental difference technology of this composite design is so that produce a kind of dielectric-vapor mixing driving engine that is better than than self-propelled vehicle steam engine design-calculated improvement morning performance that has.The present invention eliminates the pollution from vehicle, because it does not require the use of fossil fuel, and efficient height, and highly versatile.
The invention provides for following solution in the twenties in 20th century and the thirties subject matter that the development of early stage steam bus is met with: intrinsic fuel poor efficiency with the steam vehicle in the relevant technical maintenance difficulty of " burner section " and " boiler " assembly.In addition, the invention provides a kind of dielectric-vapor mixing driving engine, this dielectric-vapor mixing driving engine improves widely with respect to the means that Fasanello describes, and is provided for generating safer, the device of cleaning and more efficient of steam.By overcoming these difficulties, the present invention makes for the first time and actually uses the steam engine assembly to come to supply with power to useful modern vehicle to become possibility, and these modern vehicle are as automobile, transportation city motor bus, heavy type commercial truck, and the vehicle of preparation of construction.
Engine design of the present invention trends towards in various different application replacing existing combustion engine, but primary commercial is worth most likely it for the use of motor car engine.Dielectric-the vapor mixing of Miao Shuing will allow the most of or all normal performance of conventional automobile or truck to be held in the present invention, and eliminate for the gasoline of operation driving engine or the needs of other fossil fuel.
In the present invention, the elimination of fossil fuel can by closed loop water is condensed and recirculation self-propelled vehicle steam engine (for example, the driving engine of Doble type, it the later stage twenties 20th century and the thirties in 20th century by of short duration but make like a bomb) be put into by (such as, be used to as " plug-in hybrid " of the Toyota Prius that revises recently supply with power) chargeable battery or array supply with in the vehicle powered and realize.Also can use the open loop steam engine.Therefore, be used to generate the fossil fuel pilot burner of steam and boiler installation before not using or by " flash distillation " type heater element boiler (it need utilize the heater element of resistance boil water by " Jiao Er heating " or " ohmic heating ") of Fasanello imagination, the present invention is inserted in power pack (conversion battery DC-AC) and electric steam generator device between battery pack and the steam engine.Electric steam generator adopts the principle of using the alternating current (dielectric heating) that directly passes through the dipole conducting liquid to come quick boil water, so that by at water, maybe can produce in each molecule in any other dipolar molecule fluid of work " vaporous " vapours and cause that the rapid molecular dipole rotates the steam that produces work capacity, thereby steam is available at once, and produces continuously by the mode of the operation that can keep the actual steam driving engine.
The dielectric heating is rotated by dipole and is caused.When in electric steam generator, making water, must add battery acid, because pure water is nonconducting.Molecular dipole rotates and occurs in the material that comprises the polar molecule with electrode square, and these polar molecules pass through to rotate under the situation that electric field exists with they alignment own.When the electric field alternation that causes by alternating current, the molecule inverted orientation, and further quicken the motion of each molecule.Heat promptly produces by the friction of the molecule that relative to each other rotates.
The preferred example of dielectric heating device is the device of expecting immediately in the solution of the present invention at present, this device is any dielectric electrode-Electrolyte type " electric steam generator " unit, this unit is based on the electric current of alternation between the electrode that is immersed in the saturated water of electrolyte (such as mineral salt) or other dipole working fluid, use " dielectric heating " that working fluid is heated to boiling point, produce steam.The operation power that the electric steam generator of dielectric is provided by the rechargeable battery pack of vehicle.
Under conventional burners/boiler installation situation that electric steam generator is eliminated by dielectric electrode-Electrolyte type, directly produce heat with molecular level, so do not need any part with boiler to be heated to the high temperature of temperature than the steam that produces.Lower service temperature has reduced the trend that incrustation scale forms widely, and has eliminated thermal shock problem.It has also reduced the existence owing to superthermal surface, if or owing to the water level reduction exposes blast or the dangerous possibility that takes place that heater element causes.
The dielectric heating device of use such as dielectric electrode-Electrolyte type " electric steam generator ", it is this otherwise be the main design and the efficiency of good motor car engine notion to allow dielectric of the present invention-vapor mixing system to solve puzzlement in 90 years in the past.
The electric steam generator of Shi Yonging has several inherent characteristics in a preferred embodiment of the invention, these improved properties boiler safeties, efficient, and for the applicability of vehicle steam engine.
One of them flows into ratio for any steam output of giving constant potential and the electric current of electrode between partly that is immersed in the water.So, if water level raises, make awash electrode increase and be twice that then this instantaneous quantity of steam that produces also will double.
And, ESG be completely water-and-steam disposes pressure vessel systems, this pressure vessel systems not only produces steam, also under safe spare deposit situation, hold this steam, need its (in other older motor car engine design, this function is carried out by the separation equipment spare that is called " hot well ") up to steam engine.ESG realizes that this function is because its pressure container comprises two internal chamber (chamber is nested in another inside, but bottom-open), is known as " generation chamber " and " adjusting chamber ".By series of valves, pipe, scale, electric sensor and relay switch, the ESG quantity of steam that automatically balance generated and the water yield that is fed into electrode, and the situation that keeps balance constantly adapts at outgoing side for the increase of the needs of steam with reduce as it.Thereby ESG automatically keeps constant self-regulation steam pressure, stable temperature and to the electric input of the self-balanced of unit.
Because the relatively low temperature in the ESG, in ESG, incrustation scale forms more much smaller than the possibility that takes place in the resistance flash boiler, and these resistance flash boilers have the surface, inside of excessive temperature.ESG is not than water or the hotter part of steam itself.
At flash boiler, in the flash boiler as the Fasanello use, the quick formation of incrustation scale has reduced heat transference efficiency widely, and thereby has reduced and adopted this device to generate the efficient of the system of the steam that is used for steam engine.On the contrary, in ESG, even when on the final electrode end that forms of the incrustation scale of finite quantity, it also neither causes the loss of boiler efficiency, also not to personnel or device rendered danger.With in flash boiler, find to bake incrustation scale different, this incrustation scale that forms in ESG can be removed rapidly and easily from electrode end with metal plug during periodical maintenance.
And in ESG, if electrode end (go down downwards towards water from the top of unit, water is upwards filled from the bottom) is exposed by the unexpected reduction of water level for a certain reason, the electric current between the electrode no longer can pass through so.Therefore, the low water infringement does not take place.
ESG is than other boiler type cooling and restart soon, has reduced to safeguard floor time.
ESG is simpler than other boiler type, and makes the quantity minimum of required control and safety device.
Because not as in flash boiler, delay is arranged when producing other steam transferring heat to water, so ESG is swift in response for unexpected load variations.
About ESG, cannot " cold water " danger of burst, and if water level drops to certain below the smallest point, the then electric flash boiler of conventional fuel burning boiler and the submergence stratie type inefficacy that stands to have potential catastrophic results.Do not have unsafe water level in ESG, if owing to any reason water is supplied with interruption, make dropping to below the normal liquid level in the pressure container under water, then electrode end will be exposed fully.In case this situation takes place, electric current will stop between the electrode and flow, and will not produce steam, so dangerous temperature is climbed and can not be taken place.
In ESG, hundred-percent basically electric energy is converted into heat.Do not have draft flue, do not have flame, do not have soot, do not pollute, do not have heater element to burn, and do not have energy to be used to dispose fuel or air.Heat only loses by dual mode: by thermal radiation, or have a mind to blow out steam for use.
Different with the flash distillation type boiler that Fasanello describes in detail, it is self-regulating inherently that ESG is designed to, and have several redundant safety features, cause electric power, surface heat, and the cut-out immediately of steam generation to guarantee the unexpected variation catastrophic failure of pressure container itself (or even) for water or steam pressure.
Although the present invention has a large amount of potential uses, what expect is that remarkable advantage of the present invention is, has eliminated the needs of vehicle motor for gasoline or any other liquid fuel.Under existing geographical politics, energy economy ﹠ environment condition, reduce or the dependent value eliminated for the fossil fuel that is used for power and transportation is immeasurable.
Unique combination results of element is a kind of without any internally fired dielectric-vapor mixing engine system in the present invention, and has eliminated the needs to fossil fuel, and described fossil fuel is used to drive automobile or other Vehicular system that uses combustion engine.Therefore, it has also eliminated the fatal threat of the carbonic oxide murder by poisoning that is associated with all fossil fuel combustion engines.
ESG of the present invention or other steam generator can be supplied with power by any electric energy, such as using power charge (for example, as passing through by on-vehicle battery, bank Www.CalCars.orgThe charging of using in available " Prius Plus " of spending the night) and electric power generation technique newly developed (for example: the combination supply power solar cell on automobile or truck top).Use the vehicle of system of the present invention also accumulator apparatus can be housed, to reclaim other mechanical energy and regeneration ground with its feeding telegram in reply pond, a kind of scheme that obtains easily for the automotive engineering those skilled in the art, and such device can be installed in existing gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle design at present.Because the high price and the limited supply of gasoline and fossil fuel, there is great excitation at present for the development of so new power generation technique, and native system is enough general so that adapt to the use of multiple such technology, as long as they can move the dielectric heating device such as dielectric steam generator described herein.

The present invention thereby very general-duty technology is provided, and by quantity and/or the size that increases the steam engine cylinder simply, and/or the quantity of electric steam generator and/or size, and/or increase the capacity of electric input, for example by increasing battery, cond, fuel cell, the quantity of other electric input source or size, this technology can enlarge scale from put-put, put-put is as being used for to pushing-type lawnmower or snow blower, power actuated vehicle is up to truck, tractor-trailer, Construction traffic, the lawn trac., city motor bus, motor bike and motor scooter, farm machinery, forklift, industry and winning equipment, military-designed vehicle, and even to train locomotive, the light rail self-moving vehicle, boats and ships etc. are supplied with those driving engines of power.Electric input can comprise technology newly developed, as the solar electric power among some embodiment, particularly for those vehicles with high surface area (these skin areas oneself are covered them by solar cell), as large truck, train, boats and ships, and some types have the people to drive or unmanned vehicle, as target drone or airship.
Except that eliminating the needs that in vehicle, use combustion engine, the present invention also allows to eliminate some or all in many gasoline interconnected systems from vehicle, such as igniting, timing system, carburetter, cooling system, power-transfer clutch, change-speed box, noise silencer and catalysis type conv.Thereby the manufacturing of and complication system expensive for these and the needs of repairing will reduce or eliminate widely.
And, because the self-propelled vehicle steam engine is with than the much lower RPM of combustion engine operation-even operate under the speed up to 120mph, so supply with the easier design of vehicle powered by dielectric of the present invention-vapor mixing engine system, because will reduce or eliminate the potential problem that Vibrant buffer, noise reduce, reach hot smog widely.Because the low RPM that the operation steam engine is required, the present invention may reduce the wearing and tearing of operation for driving engine, and therefore prolongs the service life of vehicle and driving engine.
Except that using the present invention to produce the brand-new vehicle, what expect is that the present invention can be used for reequiping the many existing vehicle of present use combustion engine and multiple other system of various uses.Dielectric of the present invention-the vapor mixing engine system is enough little, thereby it can be contained in the car body and chassis of many existing vehicles.Such repacking is carried out simple relatively, and instrument, method and knowledge that such retrofit process can use those skilled in the art to obtain are easily carried out.In order to carry out such repacking, people will remove combustion system, Fuel Tank or the like, and the steam engine with its unique driver train, the dielectric steam generator and the essential electric system and/or the battery pack of operation dielectric steam generator of bootup window are installed.In some cases, the change of the chassis of vehicle and/or car body may essentially adapt to different modifying systems.Equally, method, instrument and the knowledge of carrying out such change obtains easily for those skilled in the art.
Of the present invention one in addition clearly advantage be, steam engine, such as Doble type steam engine, very little, simple, relative light weight and extremely durable (known Doble driving engine can be kept the hundreds of thousands of mile, usually only have normal engine safeguard).Technology of Shi Yonging and material can be made that driving engine of the present invention can be at relative standard's facility or originating firm, as in those originating firms of being runed by the automaker at present, so that the change and the modification of appropriateness are made relatively by adaptation in the present invention.
Correspondingly, might produce the automobile with great durability at present, and this has added the ability of using basic module formula element to produce driving engine of the present invention, these modular elements can be recovered processing, swap out and move from the vehicle to the vehicle.About be substantially independent component, have the steam engine of the suitcase size of approximately carrying in some cases, keep available engine and per several years upgrading driving engine or carbody and/or inner wanting easily and considerably cheaper.

Nineteen twenty-six, Convertible Doble has four cylinders, double acting, compound, horizontal engine, this driving engine has two high pressure cylinders (two not only 5/8ths inches take advantage of five inches) and two low pressure cylinders (taking advantage of five inches for four but also 1/2nd inches), have 3, the discharge capacity of 490cc is sent 120hp under 937rpm.Operation pressure in the boiler is 710psi, and this makes heavy 4,256 pounds automobile with 60mph, only advances along road with 900rpm.Driving engine directly is geared on the rear axle, and maximum speed surpasses 95mph.At that time, the reviewer writes about the Doble of nineteen twenty-six, " if all the power operation over-the-road transportation can be not activated noise by certain; the driving engine that does not thunder; do not have the primary mover (as this steam engine) of gear case to drive; and can almost not have driving away of sound, and will be great grace then, and how comfortable our city will for urban life! ", they add to, and " the low engine speed of this steam bus avoids wearing and tearing and makes safeguarding that this is great advantage easily.”
The Doble steam engine this in The Model Engineer and Practical Electrician, on February 6 nineteen thirty, described in more detail in the 123-127 page or leaf; The disclosure of this publication is incorporated this paper by reference into.
The advantage that steam engine is better than combustion engine comprises as follows: do not keep the minimum idling of steam engine operation needs, as long as water keeps heating (should be easier thing by means of modern heat-insulating technique and material now).
When steam bus stops, driving engine vanishing rpm, but keep full torque (under the situation of Doble, surpassing 1,000 ft. lbs), (even after a few hours) were available at once when this full torque prepared to travel once more when chaufeur.
In addition, torque is transported to axle by the steady analog stream of pushing the speed, and perhaps reduces or eliminates needs to change-speed box, operatorless device or other device fully; Gear shift and abrased gear are cancelled.
Steam engine is real reversible.They can F Ast well as forward, only depend on that steam is directed in which end of piston, thereby they is without any need for the complicated engaging and disengaging gear of type.
The steam engine peace and quiet.Although common impression is the noise steamer of discharged steam, make its steam on their driving engine, not require any noise silencer or dividing plate, because do not produce noise basically at first by condenser on-cycle automobile.
Author John Bentley as " Old Time Steam Cars " is pointed, and the heat efficiency of combustion engine can reach 35 percent, and the heat efficiency of steam engine is up to 90 percent.This means to have only fraction when advancing internal combustion engine powered vehicle, to do some actual works in the per gallon gasoline; The major part of this gallon gasoline is converted to unwanted heat, and this makes that again cooling system of complicated and consumed power is necessary, so as to prevent overheated.
In addition, even the petrolic low speed torque of multi-cylinder (traction power) also is unusual poor efficiency; And because this reason, be necessary development cliding gear and synchromesh transmission earlier, then, develop various costlinesses, complexity and heavy weight torque converter by " improvement ", these torque converters come (to a certain extent) to remedy this shortcoming by speed being changed into energy (vice versa) when situation needs.
On the contrary, have two cylinders that are less than 40 moving parts, the every bent axle commentaries on classics of the as many power pulsations of eight cylinder IC engines that the double acting steam engine provided and piled with a large amount of chaotic parts; And steam engine neither needs power-transfer clutch, also without any need for the torque converter of type.Its available direct geared is connected on the axle of automobile or vehicle.
When the efficient of the current automobile of assessment (when particularly mentioning racing car or sport car), expect two standards of highly wishing usually.First is the magic power data (with non-hyperkinetic driving engine) of 300bhp weight per ton, and this is difficult to realize with combustion engine.Second is the output of every liter of 100bhp (61 cu.in.) discharge capacity, is not realized by the combustion engine of any normal suction so far.
By means of suitable design-calculated steam engine, these targets can not present hell and high water; Really, in 1906, the Florida Stanley Racer of Fred Marriot created so-called " monster " of New World record, very near these ideal values under 127.66mph.It is for producing 250bhp less than 2,200 pounds the weight and the discharge capacity of 206 cu.in.s.This is before century almost, and steam-powered motor-car does not need a plurality of cylinders, camshaft in head, gear train, a plurality of carburetter or complicated ignition system.
With respect to the daily needs of driving,, can surpass conventional internal-combustion engines vehicle under any actually condition of modern steam bus as acceleration, alerting ability, speed, reliability, performance driving economy, peace and quiet or maintenance/maintenance cost.In addition,, supply with the automobile of power by dielectric according to the present invention-vapor mixing engine system by means of production method efficiently, can be by than the significantly low price of the price of average petrol power automobile produce and market in batches.
