Abstract
A liquid potential energy increasing device includes a first receiving trough, a second receiving trough, a liquid absorbing structure, a first magnetic component, and a second magnetic component. The liquid absorbing structure includes a main body portion and an extending portion. The extending portion conveys a liquid in the first receiving trough into the main body portion. When a sum of a weight of the main body portion and a weight of the liquid in the main body portion is greater than the magnetic attraction, the main body portion hits the second receiving trough by gravity, so that the liquid in the main body portion is at least partially released to the second receiving trough so as to increase potential energy of the liquid.
Claims8
A liquid potential energy increasing device, comprising at least one potential energy increasing unit, the at least one potential energy increasing unit comprising:
- a first receiving trough, adapted to receive a liquid;
- a second receiving trough, disposed above the first receiving trough;
- a liquid absorbing structure, comprising a main body portion and an extending portion, wherein the main body portion is located in the second receiving trough, and the extending portion is connected to the main body portion and extends to the first receiving trough;
- and
- a first magnetic component and a second magnetic component, respectively disposed on the second receiving trough and the main body portion, wherein the main body portion is positioned at a first position on the second receiving trough by a magnetic attraction between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component, and the extending portion is adapted to convey the liquid in the first receiving trough into the main body portion,
- wherein when a sum of a weight of the main body portion and a weight of the liquid being conveyed into the main body portion is greater than the magnetic attraction, the main body portion moves from the first position to a second position on the second receiving trough by gravity and hits the second receiving trough, so that the liquid in the main body portion is at least partially released into the second receiving trough.
