JPS6220889A - Production of auxiliary fuel by natural force-utilizing power generation electrolysis and its application - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To generate power by natural forces and to store the power by directly supplying a part of the power generated by rotating a generator by utilizing wind power and flowing water to lighting or a power source and sending surplus power to an electrolytic cell to obtain oxygen and hydrogen. CONSTITUTION:For example, a windmill 1 is rotated to rotate a water turbine 3 provided to a small-sized float 2 and power is generated by a generator 4. A part of the generated power is supplied to lighting 5 or to a power source 6 and the surplus power is accumulated in an accumulator 7. The accumulated power is supplied to an electrolyzer 8 to decompose water. The generated hydrogen and oxygen are stored in respective storage tanks 9 and 10. The stored hydrogen and oxygen are utilized as domestic fuel A, boiler fuel B, the fuel C for welding and cutting, etc.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> Villages in remote mountainous areas in developing countries and Japan still do not even have electric lights and even lack fuel for cooking, especially for heating in winter. Even today, there are many places where heat sources are inconvenient. Furthermore, in cities, the amount of gasoline consumed by the use of automobiles is greater than expected, and there are health management issues due to air pollution from exhaust gases, and various problems related to quality control have arisen. More than that, the depletion of petroleum fuel is now a serious problem worldwide.

In order to solve these problems, the present invention focuses on the development of a hydrogen fuel that is free from pollution and generates electricity using natural forces without using power or fuel. Others are directly stored in power storage devices and the like for use in various industries.

<Prior art> As mentioned above, in remote mountainous areas, it is necessary to run electric light lines due to economic reasons for companies, and therefore, in mountain villages, old-fashioned lamps are still used. In addition, research into fuels and combustion devices for use as fuel for internal combustion engines in automobiles is progressing in order to solve the problem of air pollution, but the reality is that no definitive solution has yet been reached. .

<Problems to be solved by the invention> First of all, it is important to be able to easily obtain a sufficient power source economically even in remote mountainous areas as described above, and that this power source can be used not only as fuel for household use but also as fuel for household use. Our aim is to obtain pollution-free fuels from nature, including agricultural, industrial, and even auxiliary fuels for automobiles.

<Means for Solving the Problems of the Invention> To explain the above-mentioned problem with reference to a drawing which is an embodiment, the present invention is to obtain an electric power source and a fuel source by using natural forces, so that wind turbines (1 ), and in valleys, running water is used to generate a generator (
According to 4), surplus electricity, part of which is used directly for lighting (5) or as a source of power or heating in remote areas (6), is stored in a condenser (7). A portion of the water is also led to an electrolyzer (8), where the water is decomposed into oxygen and hydrogen, and the obtained oxygen and hydrogen are stored in a hydrogen storage tank (9) and an oxygen storage tank (10), respectively. The stored oxygen in the oxygen tank is directly converted into liquid oxygen and introduced into an external ozone generator for various uses to obtain ozone 03, which can be used as fuel or for a wide range of other industrial uses such as medical use. Also, for hydrogen, A, B, C, D, E in the drawing
As shown in , F and G, by mixing a small amount of hydrogen into the main fuel, hydrogen can be used directly for household fuel, boiler fuel, welding and cutting of steel materials, and some tests have already been carried out as an auxiliary fuel for automobile gasoline. It has been implemented effectively and has been effective. It is also promising as an auxiliary fuel for industries, agriculture, and ships, and air pollution is eliminated because nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide are not emitted in the exhaust gas through complete combustion, especially when supplemented with hydrogen.

<Effects of the Invention> As mentioned above, the present invention can be effectively used for various industrial purposes, in addition to being able to use electricity in remote areas of mountain villages by generating electricity using the most ideal natural power. As mentioned above, there is no need for oxygen or acetylene cylinders, and even if you forget to close the burner and release hydrogen gas, the specific gravity will rise slightly, so the risk is extremely low. Furthermore, as mentioned above, by adding a very small amount as an auxiliary fuel to gasoline cars, diesel cars, etc., energy can be saved and exhaust gas can be purified. Also, blast furnaces, heat exchangers,
If used as an auxiliary fuel for dryers, ceramic kill/incinerators, etc., it will of course help save energy and prevent air pollution.For agricultural purposes, if used for cultivation in greenhouses, fuel consumption will be reduced and it will help promote agriculture. In addition, switching to hydrogen gas will solve the problem of large amounts of fuel consumed by deep-sea fishing and cargo ships, all of which will contribute to Japan's industry.
