Generation of a New Type Electricity
The subject of this patent is such an apparatus, which is suitable for generation of a new type electric energy. The apparatus operates on conventional electric energy, on direct or alternating current on its input side. This apparatus consists of a high intensity electric current quickly switching circuit and a transformer-rectifier unit connected to this electronic circuit. High intensity electric current using semiconductors and transformer dimensioning, and the harmonization to each other is essential in the invention. Excitation of the transformer is increased to a several times higher value of its nominal saturation excitation level by means of quick electric current impulses. The transfoπner is dimensioned to a portion of the transmitted electric power, while the electronic part is dimensioned to a multiple of the maximal loading electric current. The applied low frequency transformer is not able to take in the switched-on over-excitation, but the applied electronics does not make possible that excitation energy could return from the transformer. Consequently, at the output side of the transformer, high performance appears, which is much more higher than its nominal performance. If the output is unloaded, the excitation energy, in the next switching period, is recharged.by the electronics toward the power source. The so called compound current can be obtained from the outlet of the device, in the form of direct or alternating current, which, in room temperature, is composed of neutral current, mostly, and conventional charge current, in a smaller part. The neutral current component, in the generally used electric current conductors (i.e. copper, aluminium), proceeds without ohmic resistance, practically. Compound current, without extra electric current converter, can be applied to operate conventional electric devices directly.
Actual technical level
Recently, at the actual technical level, relatively cheap, high intensity electric current and voltage tolerating, super quick semiconductors are available. These semiconductors can find applications widely in the field of light and heavy current applications, but they can provide new, earlier unknown applications as well. For example, in recent inverters, high performance semiconductors are applied, but they have complicated control mechanism, and thus they are expensive, compared to their performance. Recently known electricity is dissipative, thus its application is followed by significant energy loss. A phenomenon, superconductivity, can prevent losses from dissipation, but superconductivity application, actually, is clumsy and expensive, and thus, they cannot be generally used in an everyday practice.
The task to be resolved
Significant reduction of dissipation losses in electric energy using applications, that reduces production and operational costs of electric devices. On production of the new type electric current, more economic and more effective electric energy production, transmission and usage can be achieved.
Recognition that enabled the realization of the device
Motion of electric charges cannot be considered the only possibility at transmission of electric energy in conductors. For an alternative transmission of the energy content of electricity, an unknown type of virtual particle or particle-family can be suitable. As those are electrically neutral, they do not interact with the lattice atoms of the wire, and missing interaction with
them causes no heating. If the transformer is dimensioned to the portion of the transmitting electric power, it is able to condense the conventional charge-current in such a condition, where energy transmission can be achieved by neutral virtual particles only. According to our experience, this neutral current returns in the well known charge-current form on inductive or capacitive consumers.
Behaviour of neutral current is similar to superconductivity, but in this case conductors should not be cooled down to very low temperatures, neutral current transmission can be economically realized up to 500-600 K.
The most general description of the invention The subject of this patent is such an apparatus, which is suitable for generation of a new type electric energy. The apparatus operates on conventional electric energy, on direct or alternating current on its input side. This apparatus consist of a high intensity electric current quickly switching circuit and a transformer-rectifier unit (performance amplifier) connected to this electronic circuit. The compound current electricity is formed in the transformer. High intensity electric current using semiconductors and transformer dimensioning, and the harmonization to each other is essential in the invention. The transformer is dimensioned to a portion of the transmitted electric power, while the electronic part is dimensioned to a multiple of the maximal loading electric current. The applied low frequency transformer is not able to take in the switched-on over-excitation, but the applied electronics does not make possible that excitation energy could return from the transformer. Consequently, at the output side of the transformer, high performance appears, which is much more higher than its nominal performance. If the output js unloaded, the excitation energy, in the next switching period, is recharged by the electronics toward the power source. The so called compound current can be obtained from the outlet of the device, in the form of direct or alternating current, which, in room temperature, is composed of neutral current, mostly, and conventional charge current, in a smaller part. The neutral current component, in the generally used electric current conductors (i.e. copper, aluminium), proceeds without ohmic resistance, practically. Compound current, without extra electric current converter, can be applied to operate conventional electric devices directly. Compound current electricity returns automatically into normal electric current, especially in inductive or capacitive consumers. In case of ohmic consumer, compound current electricity can be economically used in high temperature consumers only, e.g. in high temperature electric heaters or light bulbs, where compound current is transformed into Joule-heat developing normal electric current. Gas-discharging tubes (luminescent tubes, halogen lamps, sodium lamps etc.) can be operated from the outlet of the apparatus with unusually high efficiency. According to our experience, compound current electricity can bring in thirty percent energy savings on average, in community applications (e.g. washing machine, refrigerator, air-conditioner, switch type power supply operated electronics, television, computers etc.) The source of savings comes from the significant reduction of undesired dissipative consumption of electric devices. Compound current electricity, in their applications, makes possible the application of significantly lower diameter means, or cables in electric apparatus. Dissipation losses reduce significantly, windings of engines and transformers can be made of thinner wires. Electric insulation volume can be notably reduced without offending the requirements on electric strength or protection against electric shock. These advantages result in considerably less material consumption, while, generally, dimension of electric devices and apparatus can be reduced, and thus costs of production decrease significantly. It is to point out in compound current electricity heavy current applications that usage of compound current electric energy transmission can lead to replace the actual high-tension lines by relatively low diameter earth-
cables, that can result considerable construction, operational and maintenance cost savings. In the future, there is the possibility, that power station electric generators would generate compound current electricity directly, that could reduce the dimensions of the generators significantly, that results in considerable reduction of generator cooling demand and in the application of reduced diameter windings. For the long-distance transmission of heavy compound current electricity, high-tension transformers and lines will become unnecessary. Substance of the invention is that apparatus, which is able to convert conventional direct or alternating current electric energy into compound current electric energy. Recently, at the actual technical level, relatively cheap, high intensity electric current and voltage tolerating, super quick semiconductors are available. These semiconductors can find applications widely in the field of light and heavy current applications, but they can provide new, earlier unknown, applications as well. Neutral current generating apparatus can be realized cheaply and in small dimensions with few component parts, while they provide unexpectedly high electric performance. The apparatus has two important characteristics: 1. It is able to self-control,' thus extra, expensive control units are unnecessary 2. The outlet transformer of the apparatus is under-dimensioned, compared to the outlet performance, while the driver electronics is over-dimensioned compared to the maximal outlet electric current.
The cost of production is a portion of the cost of production of the conventional current converters or generators. Because of the simplicity of the apparatus, the necessary living labour demand is significantly lower, compared to other similar category electric devices. Theoretically, the apparatus can be dimensioned for any performance, voltage, electric current and frequency. If the apparatus is realized as a DC/AC electric current converter, then it can be directly connected to the electric mains systems, because, on account of its operation principles, synchronisation to the mains is unnecessary. If it is realized as DC/ AC current converter, the battery, used as a power supply, can run down deeply, it does not lose its rechargebility. The apparatus, in its special operating phase, recharges neutral current to the battery, and thus irreversible physical-chemical processes do not occur in the battery.
Technical solution which enables the realization of the invention The apparatus (figure 1) consists of a high intensity electric current quickly switching circuit (1) and a transformer-rectifier unit (performance amplifier) (2) connected to this electronic circuit. The driver electronics consists of high performance semiconductors, which are able to produce relatively high intensity and quickly running-up electric current impulses to the transformer. High intensity electric current using semiconductors and transformer dime- noning, and the harmonization to each other is essential in the invention. Thus we can achieve that the apparatus works on its own frequency, which results in optimal efficiency. Excitation of the transformer is increased to a several times higher value of its nominal excitation level by means of quick electric current impulses. The transformer is dimensioned to a portion of the transferred electric power, while the electronic part is dimensioned to a multiple of the maximal loading electric current. The applied low frequency transformer is not able to take in the switched-on over-excitation, but the applied electronics does not make possible that excitation energy could return from the transformer. Consequently, at the output side of the transformer, high performance appears, which is much more higher than its nominal performance. If the output is unloaded, the electronics opens a recharge way automatically toward the transformer and the driver power source. On demand, a rectifier containing unit converts the outgoing electric current into rectified compound current.
