Abstract

The present invention relates to a power, propulsive force and lift generating system wherein the power is obtained by use of the compressibility and expansibility of the fluid passing through flowing tubes (116, 125, 169) of a power generating system (100) including an electric motor and generator (130), compression means (160), a turbine (120) and a heat exchanger (110) transferring heat to the fluid. According to this invention, after the first drive of the power generating system (100) by an external electric power supply, self-generated power keeps driving the system spontaneously. Though an external electric power supply is suspended at a stationary state, the extra self-generated power produces lift or propulsive force. Therefore this invention provides a system operating safely irrelevant to any atmospheric phenomena or external environment, reducing public nuisances resulted from the waste gas of fuel.

Description of the Prior Art A power generating system presently used to propel an aeroplane, a car or a ship is operated by the power which have generated in the course of a combustion of an oil fuel.

For example, an aeroplane is propelled by the rotation of a jet engine and lifted upward by the lift utilizing the curve of wings.

A car and a ship are driven by a power transfer means operated by the rotation of an engine.

The aeroplane is propelled and lifted by the rotation and curved configuration of the wings which directly contact the air, or by the power generated in the course of combustion of an internal oil fuel. Therefore, the propulsion and the lift of the aeroplane or helicopter are influenced by such weather conditions as irregular air current or air density, to cause the abnormal phenomenon, suspension of the operation or sudden accident, as an alien substance like dust in the atmosphere passes through wings and an entrance

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments The present invention comprises a power generating system(lOO) and a propulsion system(300). (shown in Fig.1 and Fig.32)

The power generating system(lOO) has an electric motor(130) and a compression means(160) which produces removing force from one to the other side by the rotational force obtained by the electric motor(130). By the compression means(160) the pressure in a fluid increases as the fluid in the enclosed flow channel(114) moves to the rear of the compression means(139), and the fluid velocity increases as the fluid rotates the turbine wing in the head(127) through the connected flowing tube, and decreases as the turbine wing in the end(128) is rotated. The fluid enters the compression means(160) again, the resulted circulating system makes the work done to the turbine(120) by the fluid larger than the work done to fluid by the compression means(160), and the power generating system(lOO) obtains an electric power from the electric motor and generator(130) arranged at the rotational axis(131) of a turbine.

An electric motor(310) is driven by the electric power from the generator(130) or by the power from said power generating system(lOO).

A second compression means(320) arranged at its rotational axis(311) removes and compresses fluid. There are separation walls(333) to divide the flow channel into many compartments between a higher-pressured compartment(331) to which the fluid discharges from the compression means(320) and a lower-pressured compartment(332) from which the fluid enters the compression means(320). Fluid flows through small apertures(336) in the separation wall(333), and the fluid disperses in the course of flowing from the higher-pressured compartment(331) through the separation walls(333) and the compartments(334) to the lower-pressured compartment(332), which results in the decrease of a fluid velocity and a downward pressure. As a result, the propulsion system(300) generates upward propulsive force and lift.

When the internal fluid circulates in the power generating system(lOO), the density of fluid particles in the higher-pressured compartment(113) in front of the turbine(120) is lower than that in the rear of the compression means(139), due to the structural characteristics of the turbine rotational wings(127, 128), guide wing(161), and the flow channel. That is, the fluid does work to the turbine(120) and at the same time increases the energy in flowing the channel among turbine wings, which results in that the work done to the turbine(120) is larger than the work done by the compression means(160), therefore the extra power drives the electric motor and generator(130) to generate electric power. Fig.1 shows a first embodiment of the power generating system(lOO) of this invention. The power generating system(lOO) has a flowing tube(116), a generator and electric motor(130), a compression means(160), guide wings(161, 163) and the other flowing tubes(125, 169). The flowing tube(116) is on the whole enclosed and full of fluid. The guide wings(161, 163) modify the flow direction and change the flowing area. In the other flowing tubes(125, 169) change the pressure and velocity of fluid efficiently. Also the fluid coming out from the compression means(160) obtains heat by an external supply through the heat exchanger(llθ), and then removes to and enters again the turbine(120). The electric motor(130) rotates the compression means(lδθ) using an electrical energy by an external electric power supply at the first drive.

The compression means(lδθ) is an axial-flow type with radially the short straight wings(162) having a large turning radius, and the tail of the rotational wing(162a) thin. A slight slant in the angle of the wings arranges the guide wing(161) in front of the rotational wing(162) to make the fluid entering parallel to the rotational wing(162).

A slight slant of the rotational wing toward the circumference(162e in Fig.3) reduces the centrifugal force of the rotating fluid and diminishes a variation of fluid pressure through the flow channel of the rotational wings(162). The guide wing(163) raises the pressure of the fluid coming out from the rotational wing(162). The fluid velocity increases a little in the flowing tube(125) in front of the turbine rotational wings(127, 128), and increases in the flow channel among the turbine wings in the head(127) of which the structure is similar to that of an ordinary reaction turbine wings, resulting in the rotation of the turbine wing(127). The velocity decreases as the fluid in high velocity rotates the turbine wing in the tail(128) of which the structure is the reverse of that of the turbine wing in the head(127). Then the fluid, by the guide wing(lδl), changes the direction parallel to the rotational wing(162) and enters the rotational wing(162) of the compression means.

The density of the fluid changes a little in the turbine(120) in which the fluid is expanded and compressed again, and increases greatly in the compression means(160) in which the fluid is compressed. Therefore, the work the fluid does to the turbine(120) is larger than that the compression means(160) does to fluid, which results in that the fluid after the compression means(160) is lower in temperature than that before the turbine(120), and the fluid is heated passing through the radiating tube(117) of the radiator which supplies heat from the external fluid and circulates to enter the turbine(120) again. After the first drive of the electric motor and generator(130) by an external electric power supply, the self-generated power by the turbine(120) drives the system spontaneously. Though an external power supply is suspended at a stationary state the extra self-generated power keeps driving the electric motor and generator(130). The above turbine wings(127, 128) may be in the singular and in multiple forms as well to get large power in which, as in Fig.12 and Fig.13, a number of rotational wings(127a, 127b, ... )are arranged in a series and guide wings(129a, 129b, 129c) between rotational wings. In the latter the fluid velocity increases repeatedly among the rotational wings(127a,b, c) and decreases among the guide wings(129a,b,c). In the drawings they are shown in a triple, however they may be in more complicated forms. It is also possible to be the reverse, i.e., the rotational wing changes to the guide wing and the guide wing the rotational wing, or the above guide wings(129a,b,c) are connected one another to become rotational wings to rotate in the opposite direction. In the latter the guide wings(129a,b,c) may transfer the power to the rotational axis(131a) through teeth and the like as rotational wings rotating in oppsite direction with one another. The compression means(160) may be also in the multiple forms to increase its compressibility.

A slight slant of the turbine rotational wings(127,128) toward the circumference(127e in Fig.3) reduces the centrifugal force.

In higher-pressured compartments(113, 114) a large flowing sectional area, a slow fluid velocity, and a short and a little curved flow channel are preferable.

Since the turbine wings(127, 128) rotate in the opposite direction with each other, the teeth(190) is installed to transfer power to the same rotational axis, and the rotational velocity depends on the size of the teeth.

The turbine(120) and the compression means(160) may have different structures, especially the turbine may utilize many kinds of ordinary hydraulic turbines(power generating means using water). For example, the turbine wing in the end(128) utilizes the hydraulic turbine which rotates the rotational wing as the fluid velocity decreases. The flowing tubes(125, 169) in front the turbine wing in the head(127) and in the rear of the guide wing(163) in Fig.1 have, as shown in Fig.4, a connected structure of many pieces of wing which serve as guide wings. While the fluid draws off and turns between the pieces of wing(169a, 169b, ... ), the flowing area increases, the fluid velocity decreases and the pressure increases. Their structure is similar to that of the turbine rotational wing in the end(128). The flowing tube(125) has structure opposite of the above flowing tube(169) to efficiently increase the fluid velocity. The pieces of the wing is curved with the head(a in Fig.5) being almost parallel to the direction of fluid and with the head and tail(a,b) being thin to reduce friction with the fluid. The structure in Fig.6 and Fig.7 is also possible. In Fig.7, a tube(169) has a structure with the fluid flowing from the narrower to the broader side.

An electric motor and a generator may be separately mounted on the same rotational axis, however, since an electric motor is necessary only at the first drive it is preferable to use an electric motor and generator. Therefore, at the first stage the system of this invention is drived by an external current supply and at a stationary state it utilizes a self-generated electric power without an external electric power supply.

Since the fluid drawn off from the compression means(160) is lower in temperature than that before the turbine(120), continuous circulation lowers the fluid temperature still more to the breakdown of the system. By reason of this, the fluid absorbs heat in passing by the radiating tube(117) of a radiator, and the endothermic part(140) absorbs heat from the external fluid, e.g, external air passing through a ventilator(143) and sends the heat to the radiating tube(117). The above construction is the opposite of ordinary air conditioner, and generally uses air-cooling heat exchanger.

The fluid in the tube of the endothermic part(140) must be colder than the external fluid(air) to absorb heat. When it is cold outside the vapor in the external fluid(air) is cooled and frozen on the endothermic part to make its operation impossible. In this case it is desirable to mix an antifreezing solution with the vapor in the air and to pass the mixed solution by the exterior of the endothermic tube. When the concentration of the antifreezing solution into the evaporation means(150) with a vacuum pump(156) and to heat the solution by the heating part(154), and at the same time to evaporate it in low pressure by the vacuum pump(156). The above circulation system with the concentration of an antifreezing solution being normal is useful especially in cold season. The inside of the evaporation means has construction as in Fig.8 in which the fluid gradually evaporates in flowing. The wall(158) is arranged to make the pump(151) draw off the fluid in high concentration, and its surface area is preferably wide to help transfer heat. The sand and cotton in the internal flow channel(157) is passed by fluid, and the capillary action of sand and cotton protruding on the surface accelerates the evaporation.

The defect of low efficiency of the above system in a low exteranal temperature is overcome by the coolant in the endothermic part(140), that is to say, the fluid with the coolant which is compressed(147), radiated(117) and then evaporated(148) like in a refrigerator makes the radiating part(117) in high temperature. A valve(149) and a low-pressured compressor(142) may be arranged in a row to alternatively be used in summer. The endothermic part(140) of the heat exchanger may be applied to an airconditioner or a refrigerator.

Instead of the radiating part(117) of the heat exchanger, the endothermic means of an ordinary air conditioner as in Fig.18 may be utilized, in which external fluid(air, water and the like) passes through a fan, the fluid to the turbine(120) passes through the internal flowing tube(117), and external cooled fluid is utilized for cooling.

A boiler using ordinary fuel may replace the above heat exchanger. For example, through the internal flowing tube(117) passes burned gas or the fluid heated by burned gas. Fig.19 shows another embodiment in which the endothermic means(264) as in Fig.18 and the boiler(265) are arranged in a row, the valve(266) is opened or shut, and fluid is heated by the combustion means(268) and the fan(267). Alternatively, external heat is absorbed through the indirect heating system and the boiler(265) is arranged in a row with the endothermic part(140) to heat the fluid in the event that the external temperature is too low or it is impossible to use external heat.

The close-circuit power generating system(lOO) need maintain normal pressure since the internal pressure changes as the temperature of the interanal fluid gets high or low, to change the generated power in operation and the efficiency. Therfore, the fluid storage tank(180) is arranged connected with the internal fluid, and the pressure sensors(182.183) which detect the change of pressure are arranged to operate the compression pump and valve(184.185), which results in the maintenance of normal pressure.

The mechanism by which the system comprising the turbine(120), the compression means(lδθ), the electric motor(130), and the endothermic means(llθ) absorbs heat and keeps operating spontaneously to generate power is as follows. The velocity of the fluid passing through the turbine rotational wings(127.128) increases, and its pressure decreases to expand where the flowing area gets narrower, which results in the decrease of the fluid density.

Work done by the fluid drives the turbine wing(127) to rotate, in consequence, has the fluid velocity decrease and the density increase. As the fluid velocity i.e. , the velocity of its particles decreases, the temperature gets down and only the density increases without an increase in pressure.

That is to say, doing work as the fluid expands through the turbine wing in the head(127), the fluid expands and also contracts, and through the turbine wing in the end(128) the fluid velocity decreases with the density increasing. Therefore, the fluid density before entering the turbine(120) is the same as that after passing through the turbine(120).

The fluid passes through the compression means(160) to increase the density and moves to the higher-pressured compartment(114), which results in that the fluid density after passing through the compression means(160) is higer than that before entering the turbine(120). This means that the work done by the fluid to the turbine is larger than the work done by the compression means to the fluid and the extra power self-generated may be utilized.

Fig.9 shows a second embodiment of the power generating system(lOO). In the rear of the turbine(120) the fluid energy enlarging means(170) is additionally arranged to have the fluid compressed by the rotational force, by which the fluid flows from the exterior to the centripetal direction, and thereby enlarge the fluid energy. The guide wing(171) adjusts the direction of the fluid to a slight slant from the center(shown in Fig.11). The fluid which is entered the centripetal center increases in pressure in turning, which direction is adjusted axially by the guide wing(172), and then in a decreased velocity the fluid turns toward the compression means(160).

Fig.14 shows a third embodiment of the power generating system(lOO), which comprises the compression means(160) by which the fluid is removed to the enclosed flow channel, the turbine(120) which obtain power from the fluid, four heat exchangers(210,220,230,240), the other compression means(200) which constitutes a separate flow circuit and remove cooling fluid, and the evaporation means(250) which liquifies and evaporates the coolant. The rotational axis of the above compression means(lδθ) and the turbine(120) mutually exchange power by the teeth(191). On the drive of the two compression means(160,200) by the electric motor and generator(130) which is driven by an external electric power supply, the fluid circulates through each circulation circuit.

On the drive of the turbine(120) by the fluid, the fluid at the outlet(126) of a turbine is lower in temperature than that at the inlet(121), and the cooled fluid moves to the first heat exchanger(220) to be more cooled by the fluid running in the internal flowing tube(221). After being compressed by the compression means(160), the fluid moves to a second heat exchanger(210) to be cooled by the fluid(the coolant) in the internal flowing tube(211).

Then the cooled fluid removed to a first heat exchanger(220) cools the fluid running in the external flowing tube(22) to be heated itself.

The fluid moves to a third heat exchanger(230) to be heated by the fluid running in the internal flowing tube(231). The fluid in the internal flowing tube(231), not shown in Fig.14, obtains heat from the endothermic part(140 in Fig.1) which absorbs heat from the external fluid(air, water and the like).

After heated by the coolant in the internal flowing tube(241) of a fourth heat exchanger(240), the fluid enters the turbine(120) to generate power and recycles.

The coolant compressed by the compression means(200) moves to a fourth heat exchanger(240) and heats the fluid before the turbine(120) to be cooled itself. Then the fluid expands in the evaporation means(250), cools the fluid drawn off from the compression means(160) in a second heat exchanger(210), and enters the compression means(200) of the coolant to be recompressed.

The above route wherein the fluid, after drawn off from the turbine(120), exchanges heat with the circulating fluid running in the opposite direction relieves the compression means(160) of compressing and removing the fluid.

The flowing tube from the rear of the compression means(164) to the front(123) of the turbine(120) makes a higher-pressured compartment. The fluid velocity in the heat exchanger is to be properly adjusted. For example, the fluid running too slow may be mixed with a warm current or may be interfered by mutual heat exchange with the fluid. The flowing area is to be gradually enlarged and reduced, not abruptly, in order that the fluid runs smoothly without interruption, and a swirl from a curve and a friction with the internal of a tube reduces.

With the above-described construction, the power from the turbine(120) simultaneously drives the compression means(160) and the compression means(200) in the coolant circulation.

After the first drive by an external power supply, on a stationary state the external power supply is suspended and the extra self-generated power keeps driving the electric motor(130).

Instead of the third heat exchanger(230) the endothermic means of an ordinary air conditioner as in Fig.18 may be utilized, in which external fluid passes through a fan and the condensed external fluid is utilized as a coolant. A boiler may also replace the heat exchanger as shown in Fig.19 in which the burned gas or the fluid heated by the burned gas passes throngh the internal flowing tube(231). Alternatively the burned gas in a boiler may pass through the external flowing tube(232) to heat the fluid.

Many kinds of ordinary turbines, water mills, and compression means may replace the turbine(120) and the compression means.

Fig.15 shows a fifth embodiment of the generating system in which the principle of operation is the same as in the third embodiment, the sequence of the heat exchanger however is different from each other.

The fluid which have passed through the turbine(120), in a first heat exchanger(290), exchanges heat with the fluid toward the turbine(120) in the internal flowing tube(291) to be cooled. After cooled more by the coolant in a second heat exchanger(280), the fluid enters the compression means (160) to be compressed, and moves to the cooling part(270) of the cooling circuit for a third heat exchange.

Then the fluid runs through the interanal flowing tube(291) again to be heated, and is heated again by the radiating tube(191) of the cooling circuit in a fourth heat exchanger(190). In a fifth heat exchanger(260) which absorbs and supplies heat from an external fluid, the fluid is more heated to enter the turbine(120).

In this embodiment, the fluid is cooled by the first cooling part(281) of the cooling circiuit to enter the compression means(160), and after the compression means(160) the fluid cooled by the second cooling part(271) of the cooling circuit. The coolant of the cooling circuit cools the fluid before the compression means(lδθ) after having evaporated in the evaporation means(250) and the fluid after the compression means(160), to be heated itself and entered the compression means(200).

In this embodiment a second heat exchanger(280) or a third may be left out, or reversed in sequence. The coolant in the cooling circuit may run through a third heat exchanger(270) and then a second(280), and enter the compression means(200).

A fourth and a fifth heat exchanger(190,260) may also be reversed in sequence. That is, the fluid exchanges heat with the external fluid in the flowing tube(261) in the fourth heat exchanger(190), and does with the fluid in the radiating tube(191) in the fifth heat exchanger(260).

An external fluid may pass outside the flowing tube through which fluid runs, as in Fig.18, instead of the radiating tube(261), to be cooled while the internal fluid being heated. Also the endothermic means of Fig.18 may be arranged in a row with the boiler(265) in which, shown in Fig.19, the internal fluid runs through the internal flowing tube(265a) and is heated by the combustion means(268).

Alternatively, the fluid circuit with the endothermic means(140) and the evaporation means(150) of Fig.1 may be arranged in a row with the boiler(265) in Fig.19, where the internal fluild is directly passed through, alternatively indirectly heated.

Ordinary heat exchangers with different constructions may be used respectively or complexed.

Fig.16 and Fig.17 show a second embodiment of the compression means(160) wherein the centrifugal short straight wing(166) has a large turning radius, and the fluid enters centripetally at an inlet(as shown in Fig.11). The fluid whose direction is modified slightly slanted from the centripetal center by the guide wing(168), turns at the centripetal center, increases in pressure, decreases in velocity by the guide wing(165) at an inlet then enters straight the rotational wing(166). The compression means in Fig.16 has construction with a number of the above fluid evergy enlarging means on the same axis. The above construction makes it possible to compress fluid more efficiently and in high pressure.

Fig.20 shows a third embodiment of the compression means(160) in the power generating system(lOO). The reciprocating comprising the piston(lθ) and the cylinder(14) has the piston side face(16) and the cylinder side face(15), on which the pieces of wings(15, 16 in Fig.22) are arranged with their ends(17) connected to serve as an inlet and an outlet of fluid. The springs(12, 18) vibrate depending on the pressure of fluid. When the pressure decreases as the piston(lθ) is pulled, the external fluid enters the cylinder through openings which made as the ends(17a) are shoved by the pressure inward of the external fluid. The fluid enters the cylinder, turning toward the circumference. The cylinder(14) and the piston(lθ) form a cylindrical room blocked in the centripetal portion, so that the fluid rotates spirally to make a centrifugal force, however the pressure to the pistion side face(16) is not so high.

When the pressure in the cylinder increases as the piston(lθ) moves in the opposite direction, the pieces of the wings(lδ) are closely contacted together to close an inlet, and the pieces of the wings(15) are shoved by the pressure to make openings, through which the internal fluid is drawn to the higher-pressured compartment(33). At the flow channel between the pieces of the wings(15), the velocity of fluid decreases and its pressure increases.

The structures of the pieces of the wings(15, 16) is similar to those of the turbine wings(127, 128) in Fig.1, so that the pressure and velocity of fluid change effectively in the flow channel between the wings. The springs(21,22) around the centripetal axis(20) efficiently operate the piston(lθ) to reciprocate.

The cam(31) converts the rotation of the electric motor(30) to its reciprocation. Alternatively, the reciprocating electric motor(30a in Fig.21) itself reciprocates.

Fig.21 shows a fourth embodiment of the compression means in the power generating system(lOO). The difference from the third embodiment is that the outlet(15) is near by the middle of the cylinder, and in front of the outlet(15) is a flow channel connected to the cylindrical route(19).

The guide wing(40) through which fluid enters toward the centripetal portion from the inlet, has the same structure as the guide wing(171) of the fluid energy enlarging means(170) in Fig.9, so that the fluid drawn off from it has an enlarged energy.

Fig.27 shows a fifth embodiment of the compression means(160) in the power generating system. The outlet(15) has the same structure as in the fourth embodiment. The middle of the cylinder(14) is unblocked, and the pieces of the inlet wings(16) are elongated inward. A small contract surface between the piston(lθ) and the cylinder(14) reduces friction.

Fig.28 shows a sixth embodiment of the compression means(160) wherein the only difference from a fifth embodiment is that the pieces of the inlet wings(lδ) are shortened to prevent the fluid from entering the middle of the cylinder(14).

Fig.29 shows a seventh embodiment of the compression means(lδθ). The structure of outlet(15) is the same as in a fifth embodiment, however, a fluid energy enlarging means(whose structure is the same as 170 in Fig.9) is arranged in place of the inlet of the piston(lθ). At the outlet(24) of the fluid energy enlarging means(40) is arranged the pieces of the inlet wings, straight wings as in Fig.30, which make the fluid turn spirally inward to enter the cylinder(14). At the inlet(40c) of the fluid energy enlarging means is arranged the guide wing, same as 171 in Fig.11, which guides the fluid flow slightly slanted from the centripetal center.

Fig.31 shows a eighth embodiment of the compression means(lδθ) in which the structure of the outlet(15) is the same as in a third embodiment and the middle of the cylinder(14) is unblocked. Besides the above compression means(160), other kinds of ordinary compression means are utilized such as a centrifugal rotational wing mode, a rotational blade mode, a wobble plate mode, a centripetal mode, a reciprocation mode, a gear type, etc. Also a centrifugal rotation mode, a centripetal mode, a rotational blade mode and a water mill used in water power may be utilized as the structure of the turbine(120).

The propulsion system(300) raises and reduces pressure as well according to the direction of flow, which by the difference in pressure lifts or propels machinery.

Fig.32 shows a first embodiment of the propulsion system(300) wherein its interior is closed up, and the current supply from the power generating system(lOO) rotates the electric motor(310) on the top, alternatively, the power from the power generating system(lOO) is directly transferred to the rotational axis(311) to drive the body of rotation(320) with a number of axial flow compression wings(320a).

Upon the rotation of the rotational body(320), the fluid in the lower part is removed to the top and compressed through the rotational wing(320a), and then compressed by the guide wing in the end(321) to be drawn off to the upper compartment(331). The upper and the lower compartment(331,332) are provided with the cooling or the heating tube(325,326) to cool or heat the internal fluid. A number of cylindrical disks(333) are arranged at an interval to form a number of compartments(334), and each disk has a number of small apertures through which the higher-pressured fluid in the upper part runs to the below and is dispersed. The gradual decrease in pressure from the upper compartment(331) to each compartment(334) makes the system lifted or propelled upward, since the upward pressure is larger on the whole than the downward. The aperture(336) in the cylindrical disk(333a) and the aperture in the next(333b) are staggered each other(shown in Fig.40). The more the cylindrical disks(333) are, the more efficient becomes the system.

The lift or propulsive force generating means, cylindrical disks(333) are thin as in Fig.32, or thick as in Fig.33. Alternatively the disks(333) are concavely curved to increase the internal pressure as in Fig.36. Alternatively, shown in Fig.41,42,60, the apertures(336) are formed in only one side of the cylindrical disk(333), which on each disk are staggered each other to disperse the downward pressure of fluid. The supports(337 in Fig.39) are arranged to support the disk(333).

The compression means(320) additionay has the fluid energy enlarging means, comprising the short straight wings(351b) arranged radially as centrifugal compression wings, the guide wings(353 a in Fig.76) which modify the flow direction centripetally from the outside of an inlet, and the guide wings(352a) which draw off the turning fluid straight as in Fig.35. The compression means(320) in Fig.35 has a number of compartments connected axially. Alternatively, shown in Fig.34, the propulsion system(300) has a number of the compression means(320) connected axially on the same rotational axis(311).

The apertures(336) in each disk(333) are preferably small and large in number, whose shapes are in any forms. The long(in Fig.37 to Fig.39) and thin apertures(351 in Fig.40) are preferable to have the downward fluid dispersed.

The apertures(336) may be thick with its upper edge(361) protruding sharply as in Fig.43.

Many forms of an aperture are shown in Fig.43 to Fig.75. In Fig.44 to Fig.46 many pieces are stacked to make an aperture, each of which is made narrower downward and abruptly wider. In Fig.47 to Fig.49 the aperture is gradually made narrower and gradually wider, and repeated. The section of an aperture is made wider in two-dimension in which the side face(362) and the front(363) are enlarged together, alternatively in one dimension in which only one side is enlarged.

Also the section of an aperture may be four-cornered or circular, preferably rectangular or elliptic.

The aperture in Fig.50 has the same shape as in Fig.44, however, is not stacked.

The aperture in Fig.51 has the same shape as in Fig.47, however, is not stacked.

The aperture(336) in Fig.52 and Fig.53 has its pieces stacked with each piece thin, so that the section is enlarged and contracted abruptly.

The aperture in Fig.54 has the same shape as in Fig.52, which is not stacked and each piece is staggered.

The aperture in Fig.55 is similar to that in Fig.52, which protrudes sharply slanted upward. In Fig,56 and Fig.57, the apertures(336) form long shape on the concavely curved groove.

Fig.58 and Fig.59 shows another embodiment of the aperture. On the middle point between apertures, a sharp protrusion is formed, and portions around that point are curved. The fluid which have passed the aperture made narrower downward, turns upward on the curve of the lower surface(364) of the compartment(334), then turns on the upper surface(365) of the compartment.

The aperture in Fig.61 and Fig.62 is similar to that in Fig.40, which is circular and has a swirling groove(339) around it. The fluid through the aperture is dispersed turning downward.

The number of the swirling groove(339) may be four(in Fig.63 and Fig.64) or more(in Fig.65 and Fig.66).

The aperture in Fig.67 is similar to that in Fig.50, and additionally has the swirling groove(339) to have the fluid turn spirally downward and dispersed.

Fig.68 shows similar structure to Fig.51, in which the aperture(336) has the swirling groove(339) only on the upper flow channel.

Fig.69 shows the opposite structure of Fig.68, in which the pressure increases along the expanding route(371). The pressure in the wider portion(372) is higher than in the narrower portion (373) to turn the downward fluid.

The aperture in Fig.70 is similar to that in Fig.52, but is round inside and provided with the swirling groove(339). Fig.71 is a stacked structure of the apertures of Fig.67, and Fig.72 is of Fig.69.

Fig.73 to Fig.75 shows a stacked structure of the upper body(341) and the lower body(342) to have the downward fluid turned by the swirling groove(339) at the narrower part(373). The upper body(341) has the swirling groove(339) on the top and the projecting part(375) on the bottom. The lower body(342) has the cylindrical space(374) around the aperture(336).

The other structures of the aperture(336) may be utilized in this invention. The propulsion system(300) may have another shape except cylindrical shape depending on use. The compression means(320) may be arranged outside to have the lower-pressured fluid enter there and to remove the higher-pressured fluid to the lift generating means(333,334). Alternatively the propulsion system(300) has an open structure as in Fig.77, in which the fluid is passed through the lift generating means(377) by the compression means(320), to be drawn off outside(376).

According to this invention, after the first drive of the power generating system(lOO) by an external electric power supply, though an external power supply is suspended at a stationary state, the self-generated power or electric power lifts and propels the system of this invention. The generated power is from the heat absorbed from the external fluid. To make a lifting means to lift an airplane and the like, the above system is directed upward. To form a propulsion system, the upper part of the above system is directed toward the propelled direction.

Therefore airplanes, ships or cars are lifted or propelled independent of the external fluid or external weather conditions. Spaceships are efficiently lifted and propelled even in vacuum. Also an airplane is able to take off and land safe without an airstrip.

A number of the above lift and propulsion means are utilized in an airplane, alternatively in many uses combined with the other means. The above power generating means is utilized in an electric car, ship and the like as the source of power and electricity, alternatively in industry and house as energy source. Also the heat exchanger in the power generating system is utilized as a cooling device.

While the description of the invention has been given with respect to preferred embodiments, it is not to be considered in a limited sense. Variations and modification will occur to those skilled in the art.
