Abstract

The disclosed propeller/turbine blade enhancement will be used in the moving fluid kinetic energy conversion field. This power channel blade enhancement will increase the kinetic energy conversion of propeller/turbine blades by collecting, redirecting, channeling, compressing and then expelling a portion of the moving fluid that would otherwise be lost. The power channel's multiple interactions with the moving fluid impacting the blade will produce known fluid hydraulic actions upon the enhanced propeller/turbine blades. These known fluid hydraulic actions will impart more rotational energy to the power channel enhanced blades than previous propeller/turbine blades.

Description

    FIELD OF INVENTION
  • This propeller/turbine blade Power Channel enhancement will be used in the field of moving fluid kinetic energy conversion. These propeller/turbine blade enhancements will help convert more of the kinetic energy of a moving fluid into mechanical rotational energy.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • What is needed in the kinetic energy field of moving fluid conversion is a more efficient propeller/turbine blade to convert a moving fluid's inherent kinetic energy into the desired mechanical rotational energy form that can be used to power rotational shaft driven machinery. The rotational shaft driven machines can be any number of types that would include, but not be limited to, electric generators and mechanical pumps.
  • The following disclosed propeller/turbine blade enhancement will increase the energy conversion of propeller/turbine blades by contacting and redirecting more of the moving fluid than the prior blades have accomplished in the past. Common propeller/turbine blades up to now have relied primarily on the difference in the positive and negative pressure on the front and back of the blade in order to cause a rotational movement of the bladed array. These common propeller/turbine blades were originally designed to screw or chop their way through a fluid while moving forward driven by their attached motors. These motor driven type blades were first used in modern windmills and then more recently, deployed in the hydrokinetic field of energy production.
  • Someone who is familiar with a standard propeller/turbine blade is aware that a portion of the moving fluid contacted by the blade is lost over the front edge of the standard blade. This loss of the fluid over the front edge of the standard blade decreases the energy conversion of the blade. What is needed and disclosed in this enhancement to the standard propeller/turbine blade is a different approach to the problem of fluid loss over the leading of the blade. In the disclosed invention: a power channel will be formed with and or be attached to, the leading edge of the standard propeller/turbine blade. This power channel will mechanically catch and redirect a portion of the moving fluid that would be lost over the front edge of the blade. The moving fluid that is captured and redirected would be constantly forced into the open sided power channel by the following moving fluid that is continuously impacting and pushing the fluid on the frontal surface of the blade upward and outwards during any moment in time. The fluid captured and forced into the power channel would be continually pushed through the power channel by the following moving fluid until it reaches the tip end of the channel. The power channel contains a fluid constricting section that acts on the pushed fluid much like a Venturi tube. The power channel compression section imparts additional velocity to the fluid exiting this portion of the power channel. The velocity enhanced fluid is then expelled from the tip end of the power channel through the power channel exit port. The power channel exit port is designed to direct the fluid away from and counter to the rotating blade, thus increasing the rotational thrust applied to the blade.
