DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a device for converting one form of energy to another, and can be used to generate electricity without fuel consumption due to the thermal energy of the environment.

There are known methods of capacitive transformation of thermal energy into electrical energy by means of the charge-discharge cycle of the capacitor bank, in which due to the change of the dielectric constant (in the cycle of charge and discharge of the capacitor is possible to obtain more power (see. N.E.Zaev, "Journal of the Russian Physical thoughts . "1991, №1, pp. 49-52) (1). from the given source data set, the third member of the energy per unit volume U U U = 0 (T) +1/2 0 E 2 + l / 2Td / dT E 2 has the form of thermal energy T [ 0 E 2 / 2dt] = T (specific heat) or electric energy E 02/2 · [d / DTT] = 0 E x2/2 (see. B.B.Golitsyn, "write researchers at Moscow University". 1895, №10, Selected Works 1 M 1960). It follows that the implementation cycle charge-discharge capacitors special-variconds possible conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy. More details on this process is described in the article "Capacity - converter heat medium in the electricity," N.E.Zaev, Yu.S.Spiridonov, Journal of Electrical Engineering. 1998, №12, s.53-55.

The disadvantages of this method include the use of special-variconds capacitor change (percentage) by which the capacitance changes marginally dielectric constant which does not allow to use the method (and apparatus implementing it) on an industrial scale.

The technical result - increasing the energy conversion efficiency with a simultaneous simplification of the method.

This result is achieved in that the capacitors used aluminum - oxide, the charge carried unipolar voltage pulses leading edge having a slope of less than 90º, while the trailing edge - more than 90º, wherein the ratio of the voltage pulse duration to the duration of the charging process is about 2 to 5 and after the pause of charging form defined by the relation = 1 / RC 10 -3 (s), where ( - Pause time, R - load resistance (ohms) C - the capacitance of capacitor (farad), and then carry out discharge of the capacitor to the load is equal to the time duration of a single voltage pulse.

An additional feature of the method is that it provides the extra pause after the end of the discharge. Consider the physical basis of the work according to the method. According BCNELEPETS "Electric capacitors" Gosizdat radio issues. - M., 1937, p. 5. The capacitance of the capacitor is determined by the formula C = 0.08 S / d, where S - the surface of the plates, d - the thickness of the dielectric, - Dielectric coefficient. The inventors have found that when these parameters cycle charge-discharge electric capacitors aluminum oxide, most commonly now, changes the S-surface electrodes by filling the electrolyte microroughness and decreasing d - the distance between the electrodes, which allows virtually charge greater than the nominal capacity.

1 is a view of a unipolar pulse signal and the time-cycle diagram of charge-discharge capacitor.

Figure 2 - the general scheme of cycle charge-discharge capacitor.

Under the influence of the control signal the capacitor (battery or capacitor) is connected to a source of unipolar voltage pulses, the front pulse edge has an inclination angle . <90 "> 90º At the time T s charge a capacitor connected to the source of unipolar voltage pulses (item 1 2.) Followed by T p - pause (item 2 2.) And T p - capacitor discharge (item 3. 2). during the charge under the influence of electrostatic electrolyte begins to penetrate the microroughness capacitor plates. This process continues for the pause after the end of charge. Lack pause causes the electrolyte that no time to penetrate into the microscopic irregularities by modifying the electrode surface and reducing the thickness dielectric, resulting in increased capacity and a positive effect is observed.

When discharging the capacitor gives the stored energy. In accordance with (1) the thermal energy of the surrounding environment enters into electrical energy, since capacitor plates temperature is reduced and they are heated (maintained at a temperature) due to the thermal energy of the environment. At the same time due to the high thermal conductivity of the materials of the cooling of the condenser slightly.

It should be noted that the unipolar voltage pulses may be not only the triangular shape, as long as the front and rear edges were not 90º, i.e. pulses need not be rectangular. We use the momentum resulting from the full-wave rectification of 50 Hz signal When the experiment. Work on a purely resistive load showed that the resulting additional electrical energy is about 15%. Other types of capacitors do not give such an effect. The invention can be widely used in the art and life to reduce power consumption consumed from the network.
