ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS
1.
Roots blower, a low pressure, high volume rotary compressor
provides oil-less air
2.
Air engine, two-stage engine shown, uses air in two consecutive
cylinders with ambient heat absorbed by fins
3.
Jet drive compressor, two stage compressor shown, boosts existing
pressure of tank air to supply jet drive; compression heat stays in tank
to increase air temperature while being conserved for system use
4.
Two-stage series of check valve units; five valves per unit (two
shown) ensure porting for intake of enough low pressure air to keep the
tank full and then some
5.
Toroidal (donut-shaped) cavity, or vortex diode, prevents backflow
of compressed air into low pressure zone
6.
Jet drive supplies high pressure jet to create low pressure zone at
check valve discharge
7.
Tank pre-filled by external compressor
8.
Ambient air (normal atmosphere) pre-heated by the sun
9.
Low pressure zone at check valve discharge allows low pressure air
to enter high pressure tank
WHERE DOES THE ENERGY COME FROM?
WHAT ABOUT THE LAWS OF PHYSICS?
This is not perpetual motion. The energy
used by all compressed air motors can and should come from the sun.
Engineers can do their jobs (which is to design air motors for portability
and convenience, not for efficiency) without knowing that all
compressor work is lost as dissipated heat, so this vital information
has been left out of textbooks for many decades to keep people from asking
questions.
The air in the pre-filled
tank represents enough energy to start and run every device on the car,
and then some. The trick is to manipulate this energy through
knowledgeable design so that it is not dissipated any more than necessary,
in order to keep the tank full. The real trick is “Maxwell’s Demon,”
which we have discovered is the Bernoulli Effect: air pressure can be
converted into air velocity (jet drive), so that in the localized absence
of pressure (low pressure zone inside tank) the high velocity jet can
induce low pressure air (continuous source of solar energy) into the tank
without wasting a lot of energy compressing it to get it in. Because
of air’s internal energy (heat that is there before and after the air is
compressed), the power needed to generate compressed air is uniquely
unrelated to the power available from the compressed air thus created.
This gives the appearance of perpetual motion, but is not; it is a
heat-pumping process. Like many existing commercial heat pumps, this
system can provide more energy than it consumes; that is, its C.O.P.
(coefficient of performance) is greater than one.
Advantages of the
devices shown:
Roots Blower (1) has no
reciprocating (back-and-forth) parts so operates more efficiently than a
piston compressor. It only works for low pressure applications.
Its task it to provide a positive, solid push of solar-heat-laden
atmosphere into the check valve unit which traps it for induction into the
low pressure zone in the tank.
In-Tank Booster
Compressor (3)
heats and pressurizes
tank air above tank pressure to create a positive, higher pressure jet of
air that induces low pressure air into the high pressure tank. Since
it is located inside the tank, the heat it generates stays within the
system and becomes additional fuel for the air engine. With adequate
measures taken to conserve its compression heat, the booster compressor
operates almost for free, in terms of its net energy use.
Low Pressure Zone (9),
Jet Drive (6), and Vortex Diode (5)
work together to
manipulate the high pressure air in the tank to step aside and let large
quantities of low pressure air into the tank. The net effect is that
the tank pressure will continuously go up, and a separate port (not shown)
will have to be provided to vent air for use in other equipment such as to
run a car, a pump, a generator, or air tools. This information
checks out mathematically, and the US Patent Office routinely grants
patents to inventors of self-fueling air engines.
