MULTICYLINDER LIQUID-PISTON ELECTRIC GENERATOR Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: heat and power engineering and devices operating to Stirling cycle. SUBSTANCE: at operation of motors 1,2 forced oscillations of liquid columns in outlet pipes 8 and 9 are set up. Reciprocating motion of liquid columns in pipes 8 and 9 causes reciprocating motion of magnets 12, 13 suspended by springs 12, 13 along the axes of coils 14, 15, which results in generation of electric current in them. Synchronism of motion of liquid column levels in outlet pipes 8 and 9 (their antiphase) is determined by phase shift between "Fluidine" motors 1,2 adjusted through throttle valve 16. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of electric generator on the whole, simplified embodiment of conversion of oscillatory motions in outlet pipes of "Fluidine" motors to useful electrical and mechanical work. 1 dwg
