Innovation and Wave Turbine

Innovation and Wave Turbine

INTRODUCTION

The current consumption of the human community, the energy contained in natural non-renewable sources, including oil and gas, enters the stage of active development of appropriate tools to use renewable energy sources. To renewable energy sources include wind, solar, sea waves, etc. In this paper we have addressed the wave turbines and innovations that have taken place in this field.

In various countries, is actively searching for cost-effective use of this energy, mainly by converting it into electrical energy. For this purpose, a well-developed means of converting electrical generators using a mechanical rotary motion of shaft rotation or turbines into electrical energy. However, in today's most acute problem is an effective means of converting wave energy into mechanical energy of rotation of the shaft of the generator. To solve this problem, the researcher will develop a number of devices and methods.

In this paper we present a new application of the rules for creating effective wave turbines, using, for example, the energy of sea waves.

Scope of Innovation

1.1. Power consumption of the human community

If 1750 to 1900 (150 years), the world population increased by 2 times, the extraction of energy resources in the world during this period increased by 10 times. Over the next 70 years (from 1900 to 1970) world population has grown in 2 more times, and the extraction of energy resources - 13 times, i.e. the rate of energy production is much higher than population growth.

Now mankind consumes in a year of 4 × 10 17 kJ of energy, which corresponds to the power of 4.6 × 13 October kW / h, and the Earth's population is over 6 billion people. People cover their energy needs at the expense of oil by 33%, coal - 27%, gas - 18%. These energy resources we call non-renewable, because we will never be able to use them again.

Moreover, at current production rates, cost-effective energy resource there are only a few tens of years of coal - 100 years, natural gas - for 70 years, oil - for 50 years. Renewable energy resources (hydro, wind, biomass, etc.) are in the overall balance of human energy expenditure of 18% (incidentally, the year the Earth receives from the Sun 6.10 20 kJ of energy, which is 3 orders of magnitude than the current Human energy expenditure). Nuclear power covers 4% of the total energy budget.

Thus, in the beginning of the 21st century against the backdrop of a frightening "population explosion" is observed quite disgraceful waste of very limited energy resources of the earth. By "non-renewable" energy sources include oil, coal, gas and enriched uranium. First of all consider their global annual production. To unify the presentation will transfer all data in the energy equivalent, and we will proceed with 100% efficiency of power plants. The unit of measurement takes kilowatt hour (kWh) per year. Then the oil gives 4.2 × 13 October kWh, natural gas - 2.3 × 13 October kWh, coal - ...
