Inventor: CHERNOGOROV A D
IPC: F03B17/00
Filed: 1994-08-30
Abstract: FIELD: power engineering; driving generators and ship propellers. SUBSTANCE: motor has liquid-air units converting earthbound gravitational energy into mechanical work (power units) mounted on rotor revolving in vertical plane and immersed in working fluid, such as water, oil, mercury, or any other nonaggressive and poorly inflammable liquid. Each unit is built up of two diametrically opposite variable-volume chambers communicating through pipe whose diameter is sufficient to allow compressed air or gas to flow from one chamber to other within fractions of second. Chamber bottoms inside pipe are braced by stiff rod whose length is such that one chamber is fully compressed and other is fully filled up with air or gas compressed to rated working pressure of several atmospheres. Condition of chambers is held by latches which automatically control power units on revolving rotor. Rotor carries individual latches for each variable-volume chamber. Latch-and-stop assembly acts on chamber filled with compressed air or gas and empties it when chamber is in bottom position, and pressure drop through fluid column height between top and bottom chambers forces compressed air or gas from bottom chamber to top one with the result that bottom chamber compresses and top one, being filled up, is held by other latch. Power unit performs mechanical work upon filling up top chamber with compressed air or gas; this work is imparted to device that stores and converts stored energy into rotary motion between two cycles of power unit. Spring-loaded accumulators, lifted loads, hydraulic accumulators, compressed gas, flywheels, and other known devices may function as storage units. Upon completion of working cycle, top chamber is immersed by revolving rotor into bottom position, and new cycle resumes. Shape of variable-volume chambers ensures larger effective contact area of chamber filled with compressed air or gas compared to geometric area of such chamber projected on horizontal plane by more than 1.5 times. Energy spent for moving the rotor to force chamber filled up with compressed air of gas to bottom position is only least portion of energy produced by power unit and the bulk of it is transmitted to load. That is why, rotors carrying power units at high-power gravitational stations operating into power system can be driven by separate electric motors supplied with power from power system, and generator energy can be transmitted to power system. Power units are available of two design versions: (a) with pipe fixed on rotor and movable rod connecting bottoms of variable-volume chambers or (b) rod connecting bottoms of chambers which is fixed on rotor and movable pipe. In former design, mechanical energy of power unit is transmitted to storage device by movable rod and in the latter case, by movable pipe. Devices accumulating mechanical energy and converting it into rotary motion can be optionally mounted beyond rotor or on rotor. In the latter case, load is taken directly off gravitational motor shaft. EFFECT: improved design.

For electrodes 8 of even-numbered groups 7 connected to contact bus 5, X= p/2•(2n+1). Controlled interdigital transducer 4 is characterized in that spaces between groups are filled with unipolar electrodes 11, quantity of electrodes per group reduces from transducer center to its ends, and two extreme groups of electrodes are offset towards transducer center. Contact buses 5, 6 are electrically connected to switch 11. In one position of switch buses 5, 6 are shorted out in other they are open. Filter switching can be also effected by electronic switch (diode or transistor switch, for example) controlled by applying DC voltage. Trimmer 12 (passive one, such as resistor, capacitor, inductance coil or active in the form of variable capacitor), may be connected in parallel with switch. One of contact buses may be connected to filter common bus. Sectionalized interdigital transducer with antiphase adjacent sections shapes two rejection bands. This enables changing bandwidth of surface acoustic filters with balanced amplitude-frequency response. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities. 1 dwg
