ABSTRACT
|
||
|
||
Externally charged electrodes of an electrostatic generator
|
||
induce charges of opposite polarity on segments of a pair of
|
||
confronting stators by means of electric fields within which a pair
|
||
of rotors are confined during rotation to vary the charge binding
|
||
field linkages between confronting rotors and stators by a shielding
|
||
action of the rotors in a plane perpendicular to the field flux. A
|
||
high electric potential difference induced between the stators
|
||
resulting from such rotation of the rotors, is transformed by an
|
||
output circuit into a reduced DC voltage applied to a load with a
|
||
correspondingly increase current conducted therethrough.

ELECTROSTATIC ENERGY FIELD POWER GENERATING SYSTEM
|
||
|
||
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
|
||
|
||
This invention relates to the generation of electrical power by
|
||
conversion of energy from an electrostatic field. The conversion of
|
||
energy from a static electric field into useful electrical energy by
|
||
means of an electrostatic generator is already well known in the art
|
||
as exemplified by the disclosures in U.S. Pat Nos. 2,522,106,
|
||
3,013,201, 4,127,804, 4,151,409, and 4,595,852. Generally, the
|
||
energy conversion process associated with such prior art electro-
|
||
static generators involves the input of mechanical energy to
|
||
separate charges so that a considerable portion of the output is
|
||
derived from the conversion of mechanical energy. It is therefore an
|
||
important object of the present invention to provide an electro-
|
||
static generator in which electrical power is derived from the
|
||
energy of static electric field with minimized input of mechanical
|
||
power.
|
||
|
||
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
|
||
|
||
In accordance with the present invention, static electric fields
|
||
are established between electrodes externally maintained at charge
|
||
levels of opposite polarity and a pair of internal stator discs
|
||
having segmental surfaces that are dielectrically spaced to confine
|
||
thereon charges induced by the electric fields. A pair of rotor
|
||
discs are rotated within continuous electric fields in planes
|
||
perpendicular to the field flux to locationally vary the charge
|
||
linkage established by the electric fields between the electrodes
|
||
and stator discs. Such changes in charge linkage are effected by
|
||
rotation of electrically conductive segments of the rotor angularly
|
||
spaced from each other to partially shield the stator discs from the
|
||
electric fields. The segments of each rotor disc have charged faces
|
||
confronting the electrodes in its field to shield the stator disc
|
||
over a total face area that is one-half the total area of the
|
||
confronting segment surfaces on the stator disc to which the induced
|
||
charges are confined. Charges on the rotors and stators are
|
||
equalized by electrical interconnections established through the
|
||
rotor shafts. The stator discs are electrically interconnected with
|
||
an electrical load through an output circuit transforming a high
|
||
potential between the stator discs into a reduced DC voltage to
|
||
conduct a correspondingly multiplied current through the load.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
|
||
|
||
Referring now to the drawings in detail, FIG. 1 diagrammatically
|
||
depicts the energy conversion system of the present invention
|
||
generally referred to by reference numeral 10. As diagrammed in FIG.
|
||
1, the system includes a pair of electrostatic fields 12 and 14
|
||
established by electrostatic charges of opposite polarity applied to
|
||
electrode plates 16 and 18 from some external energy source. Thus,
|
||
the electrostatic field 12 is established between electrode 16 and a
|
||
stator disc 20 while the electrostatic field 14 is established
|
||
between electrode 18 and a stator disc 22. In accordance with the
|
||
present invention, electrostatic charge linkages established by the
|
||
flux of the fields between the electrodes and stators are
|
||
periodically varied by displacement within continuous energy fields
|
||
12 and 14 in response to rotation of their common rotational axis
|
||
and the field flux as will be hereinafter described. The rotors are
|
||
mechanically interconnected with an electric motor 28, as diagram-
|
||
matically illustrated in FIG. 1, for rotation about the common
|
||
rotational axis. Electrical energy may be extracted from the
|
||
electric fields 12 and 14 during rotation of the rotors 24 and 26 by
|
||
motor 28 through an output circuit generally referred to by
|
||
reference numeral 30. The output circuit 30 as shown, in FIG. 1 in a
|
||
simplified fashion, includes two pair of current conducting diodes
|
||
32A, 32B, 34A, and 34B. The diodes of each pair are oppositely poled
|
||
and each pair is connected in parallel to one of the stators 20 and
|
||
22. The diodes of each pair are also electrically connected across
|
||
an electrical load represented by resistors 36A and 36B with
|
||
capacitor networks 38A and 38B interconnected between each pair of
|
||
diodes by means of which the voltage potential between the stators
|
||
20 and 22 is reduced in favor of an increased current through the
|
||
electrical load.
|
||

||
|
||

||
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
Referring now to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 in particular, a physical
|
||
embodiment of the energy conversion system diagrammed in FIG. 1 is
|
||
shown. The electrodes 16 and 18 are in the form of circular plates
|
||
or discs made of an electrically conductive metal having external
|
||
surfaces 40 and 42 adapted to be charged from the external source as
|
||
aforementioned. The internal surface 44 of electrode 18 is thereby
|
||
adapted to maintain a positive charge opposite in polarity to the
|
||
negative charge of the electrode 16 which is maintained in a stable
|
||
ion form within a dielectric surface portion 46 of the electrode 16.
|
||
The energy conversion system may be enclosed within an outer housing
|
||
48 to which the electrodes 16 and 18 are secured.
|
||
|
||
With continued reference to FIG. 2, the stators 20 and 22 mounted
|
||
by housing 48 in axially fixed spaced relation to the electrodes 16
|
||
and 18 are provided with bearings 50 and 52 establishing the afore-
|
||
mentioned common rotational rotor axis journaling a powered shaft
|
||
assembly having electrically conductive shaft sections 54 and 56 to
|
||
which the rotors 24 and 26 are respectively connected. In the
|
||
embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, the drive motor 28 is mechanically
|
||
interconnected with the shaft sections 54 and 56 through an
|
||
electrically nonconductive shaft section 58 of the power shaft
|
||
assembly for simultaneous rotation of both rotors 24 and 26 at the
|
||
same speed and in the same direction about the common rotational
|
||
axis perpendicular to parallel spaced planes with which the
|
||
electrode and stator discs are aligned. The electrically conductive
|
||
shaft sections 54 and 56 are respectively keyed or secured in any
|
||
suitable fashion to hub portions 60 and 62 or the rotors and are
|
||
provided with flange portions 64 and 66 forming electrical wipers in
|
||
contact with confronting surfaces of the stators 20 and 22, which
|
||
are inductively charged by the static electric fields 12 and 14 to
|
||
equal levels of opposite polarity.
|
||
|
||
As more clearly seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rotor 24 has a
|
||
plurality of angularly spaced, field linkage controlling segments 68
|
||
projecting radially outwardly from the hub portion 60. Each rotor
|
||
segment 68 is made of an electrically conductive metal having a face
|
||
70 on one axial side confronting the adjacent electrode 16. The
|
||
faces 70 confronting the electrode 16 are charged positively by the
|
||
electric field 12 extending between the dielectric surface portion
|
||
46 of electrode 16 and the stator disc 20. While the electric field
|
||
12 projects through the spaces 72 between the rotor segments 68, the
|
||
rotor segments 68 themselves shield portions of the stator disc 20
|
||
from the electric field.
|
||
|
||
The rotor 26 is similarly formed with rotor segments 74 angularly
|
||
spaced from each other by spaces 76 through which the electric field
|
||
14 extends between the positively charged surface 44 of electrode 18
|
||
and the stator 22. The rotor segments 74 of rotor 26 as shown in
|
||
FIG. 2, are provided with dielectric surface portions 78 confronting
|
||
the internally charged surface 44 of electrode 18. While the rotor
|
||
segments 74 are negatively charged by the electric field 14 within
|
||
the surface portions 78, they also shield portions of the stator
|
||
disc 22 from the electric field as in the case of the rotor segments
|
||
68 hereinbefore described. The internal dielectric surface portion
|
||
46 of electrode 16 and dielectric surface portions 78 of rotor 26
|
||
act as a stabilizer to prevent eddy currents and leakage of negative
|
||
charge. Further, in view of the electrical connections established
|
||
between the rotors and the stator discs, the charge on each stator
|
||
is equalized with that of the charge on its associated rotor.
|
||
|
||
- Page 4 -
|
||
|
||
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the stator disc 20 includes a
|
||
plurality of segments 82 to which charges are confined, closely
|
||
spaced from each other by dielectric spacers 80. The segments 82 are
|
||
electrically interconnected with the rotor segments 68 through rotor
|
||
shaft section 54. Similarly, the segments 84 of the stator 22 are
|
||
electrically interconnected with the rotor segments 74 through rotor
|
||
shaft section 56. The stator segments 82 and 84 are therefore also
|
||
made of electrically conductive metal. Each of the segments 82 of
|
||
stator 20 is electrically interconnected through the output circuit
|
||
30 with each of the segments 84 of the stator. The stator discs
|
||
being fixedly mounted within the housing 48, centrally mount the
|
||
bearings 50 and 52 through which the electrically nonconductive
|
||
motor shaft section 58 is journaled as shown in the embodiment of
|
||
the invention illustrated in FIG. 2. Further, the total area of the
|
||
charged segment surfaces on each of the stator discs is greater than
|
||
the total area of the faces 70 or 78 on the segments of each
|
||
associated rotor disc 24 or 26. According to one embodiment, the
|
||
total charged stator surface area is twice that of the rotor face
|
||
area.
|
||
|
||
According to the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG.
|
||
6, the output circuit 30 includes the two oppositely poled
|
||
capacitive circuit networks 38A and 38B connected across each
|
||
aligned pair of stator segments 82 and 84 on the stators 20 and 22
|
||
by means of the oppositely poled diodes 32A and 34A. Each of such
|
||
capacitive circuit networks includes a capacitor 86, the opposite
|
||
sides of which are connected by oppositely poled diodes 88 and 90 to
|
||
positive and negative load terminals 92 and 94 across which a
|
||
suitable electrical voltage is established for operating an
|
||
electrical load. The diode 88 is connected to the junction 102
|
||
between diode 104 and one side of capacitor 106. The diode 88 is
|
||
also connected to the junction between one side of capacitor 100 and
|
||
the diode 32A. The diode 90, on the other hand, is interconnected
|
||
with the junction 96 between diode 108 and capacitor 100. Also,
|
||
diode 90 is connected to the junction between the other side of
|
||
capacitor 106 and the diode 34A. The foregoing circuit arrangement
|
||
of capacitive network 38A is the same as that of network 38B by
|
||
means of which aligned pairs of the stator segments 82 and 84 have
|
||
the electrical potentials therebetween transformed into a lower
|
||
voltage across the load terminals 92 and 94 to conduct a higher load
|
||
current.
|
||
|
||
FIG. 5A illustrates the distribution of charges established in
|
||
the electric fields 12 and 14 between the electrodes and stators
|
||
under static conditions in which each of the rotor segments 68 and
|
||
74 is positioned in alignment with one of the stator segments 82 and
|
||
84 to thereby shield alternate stator segments from the electric
|
||
fields. The charges established by the electric fields are therefore
|
||
confined to the faces of alternate stator segments confronting the
|
||
electrodes and are equalized with the charges established on and
|
||
confined to the shielding faces of the rotor segments confronting
|
||
the electrodes by virtue of the electrical interconnection between
|
||
the rotors and stators as aforementioned. As depicted in FIG. 5B,
|
||
when rotation is imparted to the rotors, the charge linkages
|
||
established by the electric fields between the electrodes and
|
||
alternate stator segments 82 or 84 are interrupted by the moving
|
||
rotor segments 68 or 74 so that previously shield stator segments
|
||
become exposed to the fields to reestablish field energy linkages
|
||
|
||
|
||
- Page 5 -
|
||
|
||
with the associated electrodes. Such action causes electrical
|
||
potentials to be established between the stator segments 82 and 84.
|
||
|
||
It will be apparent from the foregoing description that the
|
||
electrostatic energy fields 12 and 14 of opposite polarity are
|
||
established maintained between the externally charged electrodes 16
|
||
and 18 and the internally charged stators 20 and 22 under static
|
||
conditions as depicted in FIG. 5A. During rotation, the rotors 24
|
||
and 26 continuously disposed within such energy fields 12 and 14,
|
||
exert forces in directions perpendicular to the field flux
|
||
representing the energy linkages between electrodes and stators to
|
||
cause interruptions and reestablishment of energy linkages with
|
||
portions of different stator segments as depicted in FIG 5B. Such
|
||
energy linkage locational changes and the charge binding and
|
||
unbinding actions between electrodes and stators creates an
|
||
electrical potential and current to flow between stators through the
|
||
output circuit 30. Thus, the output circuit when loaded extracts
|
||
energy from the electric fields 12 and 14 as a result of the field
|
||
linkage charge binding and unbinding actions induced by rotation of
|
||
the rotors. The stator segments 82 and 84 shielded from the electric
|
||
fields by the moving rotor segments 68 and 74 as depicted in FIG.
|
||
5B, have electric potentials of polarity opposite to those of the
|
||
external electrodes 16 and 18 because of the field linkage charge
|
||
unbinding action. Previously shielded stator segments being exposed
|
||
to the electric fields by the moving rotor segments, have the same
|
||
electric potential polarity as those of the external electrodes
|
||
because of field linkage binding action. Since the forces exerted on
|
||
the respective rotors by the electric fields 12 and 14 of opposite
|
||
polarity act on the common rotor shaft assembly perpendicular to
|
||
said fields, such forces cancel each other. The energy input to the
|
||
system may therefore be substantially limited to mechanical bearing
|
||
losses and windage during conversion of electrostatic field energy
|
||
to electrical energy as well as electrical resistance losses and
|
||
other electrical losses encountered in the output circuit 30.
|
||
|
||
Based upon the foregoing operational characteristics, rotation of
|
||
the rotors in accordance with the present invention does not perform
|
||
any substantial work against the external electric fields 12 and 14
|
||
since there is no net change in capacitance thereby enabling the
|
||
system to convert energy with a reduced input of mechanical energy
|
||
and high efficiency, as evidenced by minimal loss of charge on the
|
||
electrodes. It was therefore found that working embodiments of the
|
||
present invention require less than ten percent of the electrical
|
||
output energy for the mechanical input. Further, according to one
|
||
prototype model of the invention, a relatively high output voltage
|
||
of 300,000 volts was obtained across the stators. By reason of such
|
||
high voltage, an output circuit 30 having a voltage reducing and
|
||
current multiplying attribute as hereinbefore described was
|
||
selected so as to render the system suitable for many practical
|
||
applications.
|
||
|
||
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the
|
||
principles of the invention. Further since numerous modifications
|
||
and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is
|
||
not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and
|
||
operation shown and described, and, accordingly, all suitable
|
||
modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the
|
||
scope of the invention.
