  • Patent number: 7154190
    Abstract: The space-saving, long operating, and cheap vortex plants of large power intensively combine solar, either waste and secondary, or geothermal heating of slightly pressured water with use of wind, giving competitive electricity and water production without firing of fuel, extensive convection collector, mechanical sucking of free air, overstressed moving parts of vortex tower, or large number of air turbines. The embodiments of plants due to different climate and regime include simplified and compacted vortex tower with staged system of forcing and controlling jets of saturated steam along vortex channel, flow-through electric generator with rotated drum or magnetic concentrators, and regime storage at use of waste or geothermal heat, and at use of solar heat under mainly positive ambient temperatures.

  • Patent number: 6943461
    Abstract: A wind vortex tower is enhanced by kinetic energy and heat of quasi-tangential and upward jets of saturated steam energizing, accelerating tornado-type flow and supporting stable electricity generation during the insufficient winds and calm. For action instead of absent wind at starts and operation over a long time, a staged system of flexible nozzles injects the steam jets into the zones of vortex channel. The system controls the tornado-type flow in the vorticity energizer, swirlers of sucked ambient air, condensate separators, re-enhancer of airflow and top diffuser. The steam is flashed from partially stored condensate heated nearly to 100° C. The condensate is partially delivered after centrifugal separation from saturated vortex core. The outside water heating system has one or two of compatible renewable, waste and secondary, or initial heat sources, and is intensified via sucking of heated water by vortex flow.

  • Publication number: 20030201646
    Abstract: The large-scale green power, pure chilled, heated water and/or conditioned directed air are produced using wind, heat and vapor of the free humid air in the structured multi-unit space-saving vortex tower providing direct three-phase voltage induction with alternating magnetic whirl formed by pole radial self-orienting magnetic concentrators swirled via all-weather multi-step tornado-like flow supplementary energized, enhanced and controlled by a spatial system of fast directing and accelerating low-temperature steam jets injected through fleshing of recycled, separated and stored condensate slightly heated with any renewable, waste, secondary, or prime source of low-temperature heat, partly via combining with solar pond and heaters or/and geothermal media, or/and waste, secondary or initial heat of large thermal, atomic power plant or intensively energy consuming industry, reducing specific investment, energy and pure water costs, quality requirements, specific pollution and waste heat atmospheric injection,
