Abstract
The aim of the present invention is the uses of a modified hydraulic press to generate electric power. The electric power is generated by two arrays of piezoelectric cells placed at the top and bottom of the larger unit. The new modification of the hydraulic press is based on the restoration of the potential energy of the larger unit.
Claims5
An apparatus, comprising:
- an inlet unit shaped cylindrically or rectangularly with smaller cross section area with one end opened to the incoming external force, an exit unit shaped similarly to the inlet unit but with larger cross section area, the larger unit is opened at two ends:
- one end to the atmosphere from the upper portion which includes the upper energy extractor and the other end is opened to the lower energy extractor at the bottom of the unit, the smaller and larger units are linked through a tunnel or bridge, further both units are tilled with incompressible fluid, the smaller unit composes one piston whereas the larger unit composes two pistons:
- one at the top and one at the bottom, the upper energy extractor comprising:
- an array of piezoelectric cells fixed at one side to a stationary tray, the stationary tray is fixed above the upper piston, the tray is made from electric insulated material with smaller cross section area than the piston of the larger unit, an upper collecting electrodes, the lower energy extractor comprising:
- unfilled basin, from top to the bottom the basin further comprising:
- an electromechanical switch which grasps a lower piston, the lower piston is an electric insulator of lighter material, the lower piston is slightly loose to a tray made from electric insulated material but heavier than the piston, further the tray and the piston have equal volume, an array of piezoelectric cells sandwiched between the piston and the tray, the tray is fixed to several stiff springs, further the springs are fixed to the bottom of the basin, and a lower collecting electrodes.
