Usage: in power engineering, in particular to convert the energy of the gas flow of wind power plants and exhaust gases of power aggregates.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: conversion of the potential energy of a gas stream into electrical energy is carried out by ionizing and accelerating it in a guiding channel, followed by separation of electric charges by means of the magnetic field of the device for removing electric energy, further providing rotation of the gas flow in the guiding channel, the ionization and rotation being realized By means of a spiral in the channel with points for the flow of the charge. It is possible to obtain fresh water by feeding the outgoing gas stream to the condenser.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to power engineering and can be used in converting the potential energy of a gas stream into electrical energy. The proposed method can utilize the energy of exhaust gases from power plants, and improve the efficiency of wind installations. In the arid regions, water will be produced from moist air by reducing its temperature.

A natural way of converting the potential energy of air into kinetic , which takes place in a tornado, is known. The tornado occurs at high enough temperatures of the air and is accompanied by rain and hail. The power of the tornado is N 3 · 10 10 W [1] The tornado appears in a thundercloud, then moves to the ground, looks like a confuser with a small cone angle, tapering to the ground. The tornado confusor consists of an internal cavity and walls. The inner cavity moves downward. It is filled with discharged ionized air, the walls rotate. Rotational speed can reach the speed of sound [2]

It follows from the foregoing: tornadoes are preceded by the accumulation of static electricity, accompanied by a decrease in temperature and the release of more kinetic energy. Static electricity is formed when the moist air is rubbed against protruding objects (grass, trees, etc.). The ends of these objects roll down the ionized elements and accumulate in the atmosphere. Supersonic rotation speed of the walls is a consequence of the decrease in the viscosity of air, the cause of which is ionization under the action of static electricity.

The mechanism of the appearance of a tornado can be represented in the following sequence.

  1. As a result of the movement of two ionized air streams of a thundercloud, a vortex is created. Circuit velocities reach large values, the cause of which is the decrease in the viscosity of ionized air.
  2. When leaving the thundercloud, the external effect of non-ionized air of higher viscosity causes the vortex to reduce the diameter. Naturally, the circumferential velocity of the vortex shell increases. [3] The flow of charged particles moving along a spiral creates a magnetic field and generates a large amount of energy.

The confuser-diffuser system is used to convert potential energy into kinetic energy in gas turbines [3, 4]

A disadvantage of the known methods is that anthropogenic power plants do not use the energy of the ionized gas stream.

The closest in technical essence and achieved result to the claimed method is a method for converting the energy of a gas plasma stream into electrical energy by an MHD generator including a guide channel consisting of a confuser, a channel, a diffuser in which an electrically conductive gas (plasma) flows, . The principle scheme for the removal of energy includes a solenoid or a magnet creating a transverse magnetic field, and electrodes [5]

In the plasma, when it moves in a magnetic field, an electromotive force appears. This EMF generates currents flowing through the plasma, electrodes and external load.

The disadvantage of the prototype method is that the conductivity of the working gas (plasma) is reached by means of high temperatures. For this, a considerable amount of energy is expended.

The object of the invention is to convert the potential energy of the ionized gas stream into electrical energy.

Said technical result is achieved by the fact that in a method for converting the potential energy of a gas stream into electrical energy including a guide channel, a device for removing energy, in a guiding channel by means of a helix on which ions are formed and viscosity is reduced, a rotating electrically conductive gas stream is created at a high speed , Which converts its energy into electrical energy in the device for removing energy.

The search conducted by the applicant on scientific and technical and patent information sources and the prototype chosen from the list of analogues allows to identify the distinguishing features in the claimed technical solution, therefore, the claimed method satisfies the condition of patentability "Novelty", and the additional search of known technical solutions conducted by the applicant for the purpose of detecting in them Signs similar to the features of the distinctive part of the claimed technical solution and comparison of the properties of the claimed and known technical solutions due to the presence of the said features in them showed that, firstly, not all the features of the distinctive part of the formula are found in the known technical solutions, Secondly, the comparative analysis of properties due to the presence of features in the known solutions showed that the claimed solution exhibits properties that do not coincide with the properties manifested in the known technical solutions, which determines the achievement of the claimed technical result, therefore, the claimed technical solution satisfies the patentability condition.

THE METHOD IS PROVIDED AS FOLLOWS:

  1. The power plant consists of a guiding channel, which includes a confuser, a channel, a diffuser. On the inner side of the guide channel, a helix is ​​built to generate ions. A device for the volume of energy is mounted around the helix.
  2. The spiral serves to create a rotating ionized electrically conductive gas inside the guide channel. A spike is placed on the spiral. The goal is to create a drain charge. As a result, aeroionization will occur, which will lower the viscosity of the surrounding gas, the gas entering the guide channel will spiral and create a rotating flow.
  3. There are two ways to get a run-off of charges.
    1. The leakage of charge by accumulation of static electricity. For this, the spiral and the point must be made of a dielectric. When rubbing against air, static electricity will accumulate, and then the charge will flow down, humidity will increase ionization.
    2. The production of ions by means of an initial voltage. To do this, the spiral and the point must be made of conductors to which tension is applied. Electrons are draining from the point, and the gas becomes a conductor.
  4. A combined version of the spiral is possible.
  5. The velocity of the ionized gas along the spiral is enhanced by the confusor. The device for removing energy creates a magnetic field. In an ionized electrically conductive gas flow passing through a magnetic field, an EMF occurs. This EMF generates currents flowing through the gas, electrodes and external load.
  6. As a result of weaning the energy at the outlet from the guide channel, the air temperature of the wind turbine will decrease, the rotation of the flow will accelerate the cold plug. Under appropriate conditions, moisture of the air will condense, which can be used for obtaining fresh water. For this, a condenser of the trivial construction is used.

The proposed method can work without initial speed. In this case, the initial flow is created by the compressor installation. The method can be used in the utilization of the exhaust energy of power aggregates. The use of the claimed method of converting air energy into electric energy will make it possible to increase the efficiency of the wind turbines and make them competitive with similar energy units.
