Dear Sir ,
The device we have developed uses the low
boiling point of certain liquids as a means of transferring their mass to
another part of the device. By this means we are able to recover the change in
potential energy that the fluid has gained due to the change in location. This
energy is recovered by rotating the device about an axle through which useful
work can be extracted with each movement. The device requires an on going supply
of input heat energy to cause the phase change and removal of thermal energy at
the cold end and thus does not qualify as a "Perpetual Motion" device or as a
"Free Energy" device as these terms are used on the web. The fact that the
temperature differentials required to make the device work can be designed to
make them low enables it to use sources of energy which are freely available in
the environment. A thermal hot pool or solar concentrators will provide the
energy to keep the devicein motion and are free of charge to the owner of the
device. If coupled to the exhaust flue of a space heater, the device woul duse this thrown away or free heat to operate. The device can
be said to produce free energy as the shaft horsepower which th edevice produces
comes at no cost to the owner other than the construction and maintenance costs
of the machine once it is inplace.To be perfectly clear:THIS DEVICE IS NOT A "PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE" NOR IS IT
A"FREE ENERGY DEVICE" in the context that these terms are used on the many web
pages that our research has unearthed. We haveconducted extensive searches on
Energy, Renewable Energy etc.and have run across these terms many times. Our
device uses sound scientific principles and working models are available for
inspection at our offices in
The
knowledge that certain fluids boil at temperatures close to room temperature has
been known for years. Amusement devices such as the "Bobbing Bird" are easily
found. The base principle of our device is easily illustrated with this toy. The
movement of the working fluid causes the center of gravity of the bird to change
and it dips the beak into a glass of water and the fluid is condensed. The
condensed liquid then flows back into the lower chamber which again changes the
center of gravity and causes itto return to the vertical. Our invention takes
this principle and scales it up many times and uses construction materials that
are more durable. We also change the arrangement of the chambers to allow for
efficient heating of the hot end and easy cooling of the cold end. In short, our
device bears littler resemblance to the toy, yet it uses and exploits the same
proven scientific principle.
Another device which uses the boiling and
condensing of a volatile liquid is the Minto's Wheel (Popular Science,
March1976). It differs in construction, complexity from our device.We feel that
our device has distinct advantages over the Minto'sWheel in the areas of size,
simplicity and the need to be perfectly balanced - all of which are critical
factors for a device which is to be locally built and maintained in adeveloping
area.We feel that any reasonably handy person with access to the appropriate
shop facilities could build a working model of our device in about two weeks of
spare time.
We encourage interested individuals to do so. To help you,
we held a press conference on
http://www.oocities.org/vikrantsuri3/index.html
These references should be enough to give interested
parties the basic understanding necessary to begin construction of a working
prototype. If you have any ideas or questions after reading these pages, please
feel free to contact me. I will endeavor to reply to all emails within 24 hours.
We are interested in seeing this device become a commercial reality and will
limit our involvement to whatever level you desire of us that is within our
capability. With greater engineering skill and better facilities for
manufacturing we feel that the gross shaft outputs that we have measured can be
increased by a factor of ten.
We feel that this is justification for
further development of the device and investigation into tasks to which the
device may be placed. We envision the device pumping water from wells,
generating electricity, turning mill stones and any other stationary application
where the shaft horsepower that can be generated can be used. All of these tasks
can be accomplished by the device without the need for fossil fuels. If
operation is desired during a time that the free heat of the sun is not available , renewable sources of heat such as burning wood
could be used to supply the heat input needs of the device.
We have
constructed thirty working models. Our largest stands 2.13 meters high and
masses about 6.5 Kg. Our goal is to provethe utility that can be gained from it.
In the society of today we need every means of harnessing the energy that is
produced by the planet or that falls from the sun in an environmentally
sensitive way. The device operates on a small enough temperature differential
and is sealed so that once put into operation, it will function for years with
minimal maintenance.
We envision the device pumping water from wells in
competition with more expensive Solar Panels and pumps and being cost effective
versus internal combustion pumps and electrical generators. The device uses a
level of technology so that it can be locally manufactured and maintained and
thus is ideal for developing areas in
