Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to power recycling devices, and more particularly to power recycling devices that harness wasted energy in Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Systems (HVACR) systems to produce useful electrical or mechanical energy. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    Limited number of energy resources is currently a problem facing the entire world. Thus, finding alternative sources of energy and energy recycling devices is now the focus of the world. 
         [0003]    Thus, energy and power recycling devices are disclosed in the prior art. Among these devices, a machine operated by liquid Nitrogen supplied form a container connected to it through a radiator. Liquid Nitrogen evaporates at −195 C and absorbs heat through a radiator, the volume of gas expands and gas rushes into a movement box, starts replacing the liquid till it starts floating and moving up till it reaches the surface of the liquid, a cover then opens letting all the gas out of it, and consequently moving down under the effect of its weight till it reaches the bottom and the cover closes tightly once again, the gas replaces water to move the box up, and so on. The vertical movement is transferred into a rotational movement operating the electrical generator, or producing electricity directly from the vertical movement by coiling an insulated copper coil surrounding its vertical path. 
         [0004]    In addition, another device have used a simple math model to estimate the energy requirements of a water vortex generator, followed by another model constructed for fluid mechanical analyses of water surface resistance and friction of a modified buoyancy engine. The final results demonstrated the feasibility of converting the potential energy of buoyancy into kinetic energy using floatation of conveyer mounted airtight containers, through which ultimately free energy can be acquired. Physical reasons were provided for the power saving in the high volume air transport using convergent air/water vortex generators, for which applicable designs were disclosed. Several criteria were identified for the optimum design of air bubble/stream release. To reduce water resistance and friction the generic buoyancy engine was modified by installing flow smoothing skirt panels on the containers to provide smooth continuous surfaces. Thin boundary layer of effervescent bubble filled water with specific gravity less than unity was considered for reducing friction force. An analytic evaluation identified an optimization of width/length ratio for the container configuration. Analyses also showed advantage of high speed engine operation to achieve higher power gain. A conceptual design was explored for a light gross weight mobile buoyancy engine using the entire vessel for water recirculation.

       [0037]      FIGS. 1 ,  2 ,  3 ,  4 , and  5  illustrate four preferred embodiments to the present invention. The first preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a donut-shaped stator  1 ; wherein such stator represents the casing of the device; and wherein a continuous donut-shaped rotor  2  is engulfed by such stator  1  with a small space between them. Such rotor is equally divided by separating walls  3  into a plurality of compartments  4 ; wherein such compartments are adjacent to each other such that the end of one compartment is the beginning of the adjacent compartment; and wherein such compartments  4  have rectangular openings  5  on the outside circumference of said rotor  2 .

The device of the second preferred embodiment also comprises a liquid outlet  11  preferably positioned at the lower side of said stator  1 ; wherein said liquid is excluded outside such device after being cooled by said gas. The second preferred embodiment further comprises a bypass  12  encircling the right side of said donut-shaped stator  1 ; wherein such bypass allows the bypass of said liquid towards a further route away from said rotor  2  through splitting the down cycle channel and allowing said liquid to jump over a protecting arrangement such as a brush  13  further towards said bypass  12 ; allowing said liquid to go down in it rather than going with said compartments  4 , thus, increasing the inertia benefits till the flow joins again the vortex on the lower side of such device. Lower carbon brushes  14  are added to the area at which said liquid leaves said bypass  12  and re-enters said stator  1 . 
         [0040]    In the second embodiment of the present invention, said cool gas enters said device from said gas inlet  8 , and said hot liquid enters said device from said hot liquid inlet  9 . As said gas fills said compartments  4 , after being expanded by the heating effect caused by the higher temperature liquid, such liquid will be purged outside said compartments and fills the space between said rotor  2  and said stator  1 ; wherein such filling and purging takes place through said rectangular openings  5 . Thus, said compartments will lose total density and will be pushed by gravity in buoyancy up, starting a useful vortex and rotating said rotor  2 . When each of said compartments  4  reaches the up position, it gets rid of the gas found in it through said gas outlet  10 , and the trapped liquid between said stator  1  and said rotor fills the compartments from which the gas is excluded, thus, gaining total density and starting the down gravity cycle until they reach the down position to be filled again with said cool gas through said cool gas inlet  8 ; wherein said brush arrangement  13  restricts (skims) said liquid from going down with said compartments  4  when each of such compartments is in the upper position, and forces said liquid to go down through said bypass  12 ; and wherein said lower carbon brushes  14  prevent said liquid from going back into said bypass  12  at the bottom of said stator  1 , or going back towards the compartments&#39; sides falling in the down cycle. 
         [0041]    The third embodiment of the new present invention comprises a donut-shaped stator  1 ; wherein such stator represents the casing of the device; and wherein a continuous donut-shaped rotor  2  is engulfed by such stator  1  with a small space between them.

Such openings  5  permit the flow of gas and liquid into and out of said compartments  4 ; wherein such openings have window-type power pickups  6  with hinges that open towards said stator  1 ; wherein the cross section of such pickups is perpendicular to the direction of such openings  5 . Such pickups are rigged to close automatically just before touching a plurality of rollers  7  or when said rotor  2  is faster than the created vortex, while such pickups open automatically when such vortex is faster than said rotor  2 . Said rollers  7  maintain said space between said stator  1  and said rotor  2  in order to avoid collision between such stator and such rotor. Said separating walls  3  have curved engineered shape; wherein such shape adopts the high efficiency of such embodiment. The third preferred embodiment of the present invention also comprises a cool gas inlet  8  positioned at the bottom of said stator  1 ; and hot liquid inlet  9  preferably positioned at the bottom of said stator  1 , as well as a gas outlet  10  placed at the top of said stator, wherein such outlet can be connected to a tall chimney to exclude said gas outside such device, and wherein such gas outlet can contain a valve that allows only the passage of gas through it. The device of the third preferred embodiment also comprises a liquid outlet  11  preferably positioned at the lower side of said stator  1 ; wherein said liquid is excluded outside such device after being cooled by said gas. The third embodiment further comprises a plurality of steam or water jets; wherein such jets are directed through intentionally-angled pipes  15  propelling pressurized steam; and wherein such pipes  15  are directed towards the outside body of said compartments  4  from the back, and the two lateral sides of said stator  1 . One way direction flappers  16  with carbon brushes are added to the inner walls of said stator  1  at the places where said pipes  15  meet the body of said stator; wherein such flappers are mechanically connected to valves such that such valves open when such flappers are open in order to propel steam. Said flappers open when there is steam being propelled through said pipes  15  or when said liquid in the vortex attempts to go in an opposite direction of rotation of said rotor. 
         [0042]    In the third preferred embodiment of the present invention, said cool gas enters said device from said gas inlet  8 , and said hot liquid enters said device from said hot liquid inlet  9 . As said gas fills said compartments  4 , and after being expanded by the heating effect caused by the higher temperature liquid, such liquid will be purged outside said compartments and fills the space between said rotor  2  and said stator  1 ; wherein such filling and purging take place through said rectangular openings  5 . Thus, said compartments will lose total density and will be pushed by gravity in buoyancy up, starting a useful vortex and rotating said rotor  2 . When each of said compartments  4  reaches the up position, it gets rid of the gas found in it through said gas outlet  10 , and the trapped liquid between said stator  1  and said rotor fills the compartments from which the gas is excluded, thus, gaining total density and starting the down gravity cycle until it reaches the down position to be filled again with said cool gas through said cool gas inlet  8 . During such mechanism, pressurized water steam is propelled in intentionally-angled directions through said pipes  15 ; wherein the use of such pressurized steam strengthens said vortex and heats said liquid; and wherein the angled orientation of said pipes  15  with a special pressure of said propelled steam helps the one way flow. 
         [0043]    The fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a donut-shaped stator  1 ; wherein such stator represents the casing of the device; and wherein a continuous donut-shaped rotor  2  is engulfed by such stator  1  with a small space between them. Such rotor is equally divided by separating walls  3  into a plurality of compartments  4 ; wherein such compartments are adjacent to each other such that the end of one compartment is the beginning of the adjacent compartment; and wherein such compartments  4  have rectangular openings  5  on the outside circumference of said rotor  2 . Such openings  5  permit the flow of gas and liquid into and out of said compartments  4 ; wherein such openings have window-type power pickups  6  with hinges that open towards said stator  1 ; wherein the cross section of such pickups is perpendicular to the direction of such openings  5 ; and wherein such pickups are rigged to close automatically just before touching a plurality of rollers  7  or when said rotor  2  is faster than the created vortex, while such pickups open automatically when such vortex is faster than said rotor  2 . Said rollers  7  maintain said space between said stator  1  and said rotor  2  in order to avoid collision between such stator and such rotor. Said separating walls  3  have curved engineered shape; wherein such shape adopts the high efficiency of such embodiment. The fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention also comprises a cool gas inlet  8  positioned at the bottom of said stator  1 ; and hot liquid inlet  9  preferably positioned at the bottom of said stator  1 ; as well as a gas outlet  10  placed at the top of said stator, wherein such outlet can be connected to a tall chimney to exclude said gas outside such device, and wherein such gas outlet can contain a valve that allows only the passage of gas through it. The device of the fourth preferred embodiment also comprises a liquid outlet  11  preferably positioned at the lower side of said stator  1 ; wherein said liquid is excluded outside such device after being cooled by said gas. The fourth preferred embodiment further comprises a bypass  12  encircling the right side of said donut-shaped stator  1 ; wherein such bypass allows the bypass of said liquid towards a further route away from said rotor  2  through splitting the down cycle channel and allowing said liquid to jump over a protecting arrangement such as a brush  13  further towards said bypass  12 ; allowing said liquid to go down in it rather than going with said compartments  4 , thus, increasing the inertia benefits till the flow joins again the vortex on the lower side of such device. Lower carbon brushes  14  are added to the area at which said liquid leaves said bypass  12  and re-enters said stator  1 . The fourth embodiment further comprises a plurality of steam or water jets; wherein such jets are directed through intentionally-angled pipes  15  propelling pressurized steam; and wherein such pipes  15  are directed towards the outside body of said compartments  4  from the back, and the two lateral sides of said stator  1 . One way direction flappers  16  with carbon brushes are added to the inner walls of said stator  1  at the places where said pipes  15  meet the body of said stator; wherein such flappers are mechanically connected to valves such that such valves open when such flappers are open in order to propel steam. Said flappers open when there is steam being propelled through said pipes  15  or when said liquid in the vortex attempts to go in an opposite direction of rotation of said rotor  2 . 
         [0044]    In the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention, said cool gas enters said device from said gas inlet  8 , and said hot liquid enters said device from said hot liquid inlet  9 . As said gas fills said compartments  4  after being expanded by the heating effect caused by the higher temperature liquid, such liquid will be purged outside said compartments and fills the space between said rotor  2  and said stator  1 ; wherein such filling and purging take place through said rectangular openings  5 . Thus, said compartments will lose total density and will be pushed by gravity in buoyancy up, starting a useful vortex and rotating said rotor  2 . When each of said compartments  4  reaches the up position, it gets rid of the gas found in it through said gas outlet  10 , and the trapped liquid between said stator  1  and said rotor fills the compartments from which the gas is excluded, thus, gaining total density and starting the down gravity cycle until they reach the down position to be filled again with said cool gas through said cool gas inlet  8 ; wherein said brush arrangement  13  restricts (skims) said liquid from going down with said compartments  4  when each of such compartments is in the upper position, and forces said liquid to go down through said bypass  12 ; and wherein said lower carbon brushes  14  prevent said liquid from going back into said bypass 12  at the bottom of said stator, or going back towards the compartments&#39; sides falling in the down cycle. During such mechanism, pressurized water steam is propelled in intentionally-angled directions through said pipes  15 ; wherein the use of such pressurized steam strengthens the vortex and heats said liquid; and wherein the angled orientation of said pipes  15  with a special pressure of said propelled steam helps the one way flow. 
         [0045]    A well-balanced calibrated positive gas pressure is maintained to keep the gas pressure filling the lower area without overfilling with gas pressure and over flowing, or going lower than needed to keep the minimum liquid escaping into the area in the pipe engine, where liquid-filled compartments are going down by gravity creating more torque. 
         [0046]    In the four preferred embodiments of the present invention, the denser and hotter the entering liquid is, and the cooler the propelled gas is, the more efficient the device will be. According to heat transfer rules, the hot liquid will be cooled down inside such device and excluded outside such device through said liquid outlet  9 , and said cool gas will be heated by said hot liquid. 
         [0047]    The gravity bolstered vortex engine device of the present invention can be used as a pump by closing said gas outlet  10 , and at the same time by allowing said gas to go from the upper compartment to the lower compartment of said compartments  4  through one-way valves added to said compartments  4 ; wherein such valves are oriented towards a direction opposite to the rotation of the rotor; and wherein liquid-only valves will automatically open in order to allow the liquid in the vortex to enter said upper compartments through said compartments&#39; openings  5 . Also, to achieve such feature, another valve at the lower side of the lowest compartment must simultaneously open; wherein the entering liquid will be centrifuged out and said gas is sucked out transmitting the lower pressure to said upper compartment. Restrictors, such as venturi, can be put at the inner walls of said stator  1  around said upper compartment liquid receiving area; wherein such restrictions raise the pressure of the liquid in the upper area, thus, helping in pushing said gas to said lower compartment. 
         [0048]    Also, said gravity bolstered vortex engine device of the present invention can be used as a pump by putting a circular plenum with one-way valves to send said gas from said upper compartment to said lower compartment through valve scheduling into said compartments  4 . Said upper compartment&#39;s valve will open at the same time carrying said gas from said upper compartment to said lower compartment. Said circular plenum should be refrigerated and insulated from the liquid around it. Said gas passing through said plenum cools down as it runs through such plenum. By the time such gas reaches said lower compartment, it enters and resides inside such compartment and becomes inflated as a result of heat exchange with said hotter liquid which surrounds such compartment; wherein such heat exchange increases the efficiency of the working compartment by changing heat into immediate torque. In the hot side of this refrigeration system, heat is drawn from said plenum causing it to cool down. Also, the heat generated from the running compressor and from the compression process is transferred to a non-insulated pipe located at the opposite side of said rotor  2 . Such transferring action heats-up the overall working liquid residing and rotating inside said stator  1 , which enables said compressor to cool down causing the device to become more efficient. In addition, a scheduled valve at each of said rectangular openings  5  can also be added such that the valve at said rectangular opening at said lower compartment is scheduled to open in order to centrifuge the liquid inside said lower compartment and closes when all liquid inside said lower compartment is centrifuged outside said lower compartment. During the centrifugation process, the gas inside said plenum is sucked out, and thus the efficiency of this pump is increased. 
         [0049]    Torque can be retrieved from the upper side of said device through gears connected through the upper side of said stator onto said rotor  2  taking from the lower liquid pressure area. 
         [0050]    When the device is used to generate electricity, the fact that such device has a donut shape can be very useful for any electromagnetic generation system built directly on and around said device itself; such configuration will bare much lower cost and higher power efficiency than any other configuration in which the device is connected to an outside generator. 
         [0051]    The device of the four preferred embodiments can be oriented in a direction such that it enables the created vortex to pick up from the Coriolis Effect, which will increase the efficiency of such device.
