Title: Hydraulic turbomachine
Inventor: VAN BERKUM JOHANNES
IPC: F03B17/00
Filed: 2001-07-09
Granted: 2005-12-07
Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic turbomachine which is used to convert energy. The aim of the invention is to provide a hydraulic turbomachine which exclusively uses the flow output, affected by atmospheric pressure (pL), of a water column which rises towards a rotor disk (3) in a suction chamber (1), making it available to a consumer in the form of end energy (EN). The inventive hydraulic turbomachine is provided with an annular water circuit flowing in a radial direction with respect to the axis of a generator (6). Said circuit comprises a conducting chamber (7) and is coaxially arranged inside a tub-shaped flow chamber (8) around the axis of the generator (6) in a container (9). The rotor disk (3) rotates horizontally in relation to the axis and the energy difference between supplied and discharged energy on the rotor disk (3) corresponds to the sum of the energy provided by the atmospheric pressure (pL) and the energy provided by the drive motor (Em). The generator (6) is used to make the energy provided by the drive motor (5) available once again.

Abstract: The effective ionic conductivity in a composite structure is believed to decrease rapidly with volume fraction. A system, such as a bipolar device or energy storage device, has structures or components in which the diffusion length or path that electrodes or ions must traverse is minimized and the interfacial area exposed to the ions or electrons is maximized. The device includes components that can be reticulated or has a reticulated interface so that an interface area can be increased. The increased interfacial perimeter increases the available sites for reaction of ionic species. Many different reticulation patterns can be used. The aspect ratio of the reticulated features can be varied. Such bipolar devices can be fabricated by a variety of methods or procedures. A bipolar device having structures of reticulated interface can be tailored for the purposes of controlling and optimizing charge and discharge kinetics. A bipolar device having graded porosity structures can have improved transport properties because the diffusion controlling reaction kinetics can be modified. Graded porosity electrodes can be linearly or nonlinearly graded. A bipolar device having perforated structures also provides improved transport properties by removing tortuosity and reducing diffusion distance.
