HARNESSING THREE RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES FROM ONE GENERATING SYSTEM

We all know that the major source of electrical energy production is from fossil fuels and water stored in dams. Well that’s a silly point I wrote which we all know since our primary school. But what caused me to make a necessary invention regarding to the energy sector is that the fossil fuel will be depleted in few more decades and to the way population is growing we can not completely rely upon our hydro dams. There is a necessary of shifting our focus on the very unpredictable RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES and harness as maximum energy as possible from those. There is a saying among renewable energy enthusiasts that “ Studying the pattern of Renewable energy source is as tough as studying the psychology of women :P ”

MAJOR PROBLEM IN RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR FROM MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT WE CANT GET ONE PARTICULAR ENERGY SOURCE PROFITABLE THROUGHT A CALENDER YEAR

Ø  Sun emits his powerful rays only for few months in a year.

Ø  Wind energy is concentrated only to certain geographical part of the earth and doesn’t flow continuously.

Ø  Tidal energy (wave energy ) is highly un-predictable and its said to be non-profit source for a nation like INDIA though we have more than 7000 km of coastline because of low tides.

WELL I BELIEVE THAT HURDLES ARE ALWAYS THERE TO BE CROSSED. Here in this article I tried to bring out the niche way of producing electricity from above three sources of energy through-out the year.

You are seeing the images of the adverse effects of TIDES, SOLAR RADIATION AND WIND. How amazing it would be if all these three energy sources can be integrated at one point and harnessed and produced electricity?, excited? 

 Yes its what this project is all about. Having a single or two generating system to the max and extracting energy from three or more source at a single place.

Ø  The coastal line is well blessed with all these three energy sources

Ø  The amount of solar radiation required for power production will be naturally high in the coastal line

Ø  Wind velocity required for the wind mills to rotate and produce decent amount of electrical energy will be available too.

Ø  The tidal energy though the researchers predict that its impractical to implement it in major parts of Indian coastline, we can overcome it through my specific design for harnessing energy even from the low tides .

        HOW THESE ENERGY SOURCES WILL BE INTEGRATED TO A SINGLE GENERATING SYSTEM ??      Here I will be explaining you the different designs used for WIND MILL  and TIDAL DEVICE. The usual wind mill ( HORIZONTAL AXIS ) design has its many limitation and are suitable for the high altitude places. And in country like INDIA where environmentalists oppose the wind mill installation since they are threat to birds as birds are being killed in many parts cause of the wind turbines

This one is the top view of the wind mill which has vertical axis. This type of wind mill usually can generate electricity upto 0.9 MW with all bearing and air frictional errors. This design in particular has been applied for patent. The risk of birds getting struck in the blades is minimised and hence least chance of birds getting killed.

This is the design of tidal turbine in which a device harnesses the waves energy and pushes the high density liquid which further rotates the turbine and further the generator.THIS TWO TURBINES WILL BE COUPLED TO A HEAVY LOAD BEARING SPIRAL SPRING AND FURTHER TO THE GENERATOR.

THIS MEDIATOR SPRING DEIVCE DESIGN IS UNDER PATENT SEARCH AND IT WILL BE DISCLOSED SHORTLY .
