Using Induction Electric Charging, a water jet issues under water pressure from a small diameter (25-50 μm) orifice, and the jet breaks into charged droplets. A plate orifice 35 μm diameter, and 25 μm long appears optimum; a single jet from such an orifice at a water pressure of 15 psig produces net electric power output substantially exceeding the hydraulic and electric power inputs. A practical Wind/Electric Generator utilizes a multi-orifice array scaled to a kilowatt or megawatt level. A water recovery and pressure regeneration solar and/or gravitational means is described by which water is conserved and the water power is free, so that there is a net output electric power without external power input of any kind, except natural wind and/or solar power.Field of SearchWind | |
