Abstract
Ancient Hydroelectric Company comprises a portable hydroelectricity producing system. Consumers are provided with a cost-effective and reliable system for providing substantially clean electricity generation without obstructing the water source or negatively affecting the environment. The high efficiency portable hydro-electric producing system is for use with a moving water source. The system uses antifreeze with water to provide a more thermally efficient working fluid as used to improve the system's pressure and volume capacity in use.
Claims1
A portable hydro-electric generating system comprising:
- at least one turbine assembly having,
- at least one intake;
- and
- a return;
- a tank with an inner volume of water contained inside, said inner volume of water comprising an accumulator;
- an antifreeze/water mixture working fluid which allows the system to realize greater pressure and volume capacity in use because of inherent thermal qualities;
- said tank is 20 feet high×4 feet long×4 feet wide and is used to create head pressure;
- at least one centrally located vertically-run pipe wherein said pipe is 6 inches in diameter and runs vertically to return said antifreeze/water mixture working fluid to said tank;
- at least one hydraulic pumping means comprising pumps and head pressure to maintain a flow when the portable hydro-electric generating system is shut down;
- a plurality of water wheels;
- wherein said antifreeze/water mixture working fluid is passed through said turbine assembly through said intake(s) and said return, respectively, creating a low pressure area at said intake(s) and into said accumulator as said at least one water wheel is turned by the antifreeze/water mixture working fluid;
- wherein said antifreeze/water mixture working fluid is resistance-passed through said portable hydro-electric generating system creating said hydraulic pumping means;
- wherein the hydraulic pumping means is regulated by a petcock valve located between an outlet of the pump and an outlet of said accumulator;
- and
- wherein force-transmitted flow-movement of said antifreeze/water mixture through said portable hydro-electric generating system by said hydraulic pumping means creates a power-generating means via a rotor capable of recycling about 4,300 gallons of water capable of producing over 160 Horsepower to power a working farm, and/or a remote village, and/or an urban area.
