Abstract
A portable hydroelectric generator that carries its own water supply. A tube with a first opening at one end for receiving fluid from a trough and a second opening at the other end for discharging the received fluid. The tube has an inverted U shape having a side A which extends from the first opening toward the top of the inverted U and a side B which includes a turbine coupled to a generator extends from the top of the inverted U to the second end. Side A has a volume which is smaller than the volume of side B and the second opening is located above the level of the fluid in the trough. When fluid is in the tube, its weight in side B is greater than its weight in side A which causes the fluid to flow from the first opening through the tube and out of the second opening.
Claims15
A siphon for removing a fluid from a trough comprising:
- a tube having a first opening at one end for receiving fluid from the trough and a second opening at the other end for discharging the received fluid;
- the tube is configured to form an inverted U or semicircular shape having a side A which extends from the first opening up toward the top of the inverted U or semicircular shape and a side B which extends from the top of the inverted U or semicircular shape to the second end;
- side A of the tube has a volume which is smaller than the volume of side B;
- and
- the second opening of the tube is located above the level of the fluid in the trough;
- wherein, when fluid is moving through the siphon tube the weight of the fluid in side B of the tube, which is greater than the weight of the fluid in side A, causes the fluid to flow through the tube from the first opening through the tube and out of the second opening.
