About my Inventions *

All my Inventions is called to answer the problems caused by low efficiency and high investment costs of the conventional renewable power facilities. My team have developed and realized a lot of patented and patent pending solutions in the field of renewable energy conversion  machines and automotive fuel saving technologies.

The usable renewable power generated by my new invented high efficient energy converters significantly reduced environmental impacts and have a longer lifespan. They are easy to operate and provide a reasonable amount of low cost usable power without requiring frequent or expensive maintenance.

You can see on these pages my newest patented cost effective solutions of wind, solar, hydrokinetic / tidal and hybrid renewable energy systems. Automotive patented solution, as well. All patented, patent pending facilities, technologies and related power machines are approved in the practice.

New invented 3D JET rotor is a unique device for exploitation of wind / river / canal / tidal current resources, including in low moving water. The most natural common water flow is low speed water currents - about 1 m/s and less. Our 3D diagonal blades JET rotors and spiral shaped rotors best performed at low speed currents. We have completed a very successful set of model-scale tests in and these tests have proven the hydrodynamic – air dynamic efficiency of the turbine designed for low wind/water speeds.

New Designed 3D  horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) for Ultra Low Cut-in Wind Speed. You see on the display of wind speed meter (anemometer)that the wind speed as low as 0.7 m/s when turbine generates voltage - see the multimeter. We often see people post questions on forums, where they are looking for a wind turbine "with a low cut-in wind speed". Typically the cut-in wind speed is the wind speed where the turbine starts turning. For most wind turbines it is around 2.5 - 3.5 m/s (5.5 - 8 mph), New designed 3D rotor of shown HAWT starts rotation at 0.5 m/s. It a Down wind turbine which is much more robust in the comparison of the most popular up-wind turbines.

Solar power is both free and does not cause global warming or other ecological problems. Therefore, we believe that the car of the future will have a dominant electric motor drive train whose primary source of power is solar.

Our new patented battery cars BULL CAR and  ELLIPSE (with hybrid option) is based on our advanced patented (BG65421)  technology - see the patent description at: http://v3.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=20080731&CC=BG&NR=65421B1&KC=B1

The hydraulic hybrid option of BULL CAR and ELLIPSE  car have been developed by our advanced patented (BG65480)  technology - see the patent description at: http://v3.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=20080930&CC=BG&NR=65480B1&KC=B1

The advanced BULL CAR design of our innovative patented cars takes all advantages of the patented car cooling system (BG65420)  - see the patent description at: http://v3.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=20080731&CC=BG&NR=65420B1&KC=B1

For
BULL CAR and ELLIPSE car commercialization we are developing smart grid connected battery charging station based on our patented (BG65248) technology http://v3.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=20031231&CC=BG&NR=106857A&KC=A

See a video of off-road snow test of the test platform SOLEXTRA TM of the new designed BULL CAR  at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQgaZZSjdbE  

Different techniques such as retrofitting of reflectors and concentrators are adopted to increase the amount of radiation flux falling on the module and the output of the module thereby increases. WE are focusing on the practical implementation of flat reflecting materials such as flat mirrors, shinny aluminum and white tiles on the performance of a PV module. The performance was compared with an identical module without such a reflector. The reflector fitted module output based on maximum power point showed a significant increase, and there was also an increase in temperature of the module  See more at: http://tonchev.org/PVparks.html

 

My inventions & know-how based on the power analysis and "design-to-cost" approach of  wind, solar, hydro and hybrid  renewable energy systems. According to the issued and pending patents are developing number of advanced renewable power solutions.

My innovative technologies and related machines are designed by computer simulations and approved in the practice, before patent applications.  I am combining several innovative solutions of every invention aiming a synergy effect. As an example is ROTOJET inventions related to cross flow and axial flow Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) and hydrokinetic blades/rotors, as well.

Newly patented JET turbines thanks to the additional JET force/torque  rotate much more efficient because of synergy effects of JET, Lift and Drag mode of turbine operation. Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT).  The JET tornado/vortex turbine exploits synergy effects of both JET self augmented blades and air/water vortex created by turbine rotation. A comparison of the conventional and newly invented JET wind machines is presented here. See a comparison in operation of JET turbine vs. conventional turbine at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghp-7MqUyhs

Low cost power generation from free river/canal streams by Pontoon Hydro Kinetic Power Barge/Plant with 15 JET Turbines. The barge is a module of hydro kinetic power farm includes number of interconnected modules with semi submersed axis flow JET turbines. The cost of power generated is about USD 0.04/kWh. The JET turbines are world novelty that increase water-to-power efficiency significantly. The JET turbine is a radical new solution based on low cost well known technology. It is fixed blade variable rpm turbine rotating permanent magnet alternator. see a video at  www.youtube.com/watch#!v=47yepY4Mwzw&feature=channel

See at  www.youtube.com/watch#!v=-PX0wGi3Oag&feature=channel Wind-Hydro Kinetic Tidal/River/Canal Power Barge with Vertical Axis JET Mono- directional Rotating Turbines in Omnidirectional Water/Wind Flow. Wind/Hydro-kinetic power plant with JET blades on vertical shafts (cross flow turbines)based on a floating anchored pontoon structure. Patented JET turbines formed by hollow blades with elliptic-like cross-section. The blades with side inlet aperture and outlet nozzles at blade trailing edge. It is a radical new patented blade design (ROTOJET) that increases flow-to-power efficiency significantly and helps to increase turbine performance at low and moderate flow speeds and in turbulent flow as well. Easy starting turbines. Patent pending. Integrated oil less power train with a common electric alternator.

A video of patented Solar PV reflector augmented system see at:   www.youtube.com/user/miscbeep#p/a/u/0/XE-mOgND07I . Shown on road power plants is using for charging the battery of electric cars and plug-in hybrids, as well.

My new invented Wind-PV synergy energy system exploits a passive ground based PV-modules supporting structure as an wind accelerator directed accelerated wind to the swept area of the wind turbine JET blades.

First ever ROTOJET Jet / Lift / Drag turbine is the most economical feasible solution of dam less hydropower. And for wind applications as well. The ROTOJET design is very low cost in both manufacturing and operation. See below a basic comparison of different types of wind/hydrokinetic turbines:

Turbine Types  Drag  Lift  Drag - Lift  JET - Lift JET - Drag JET - Lift - Drag
  Conventional Wind / Hydro-kinetic Turbines New Invented  ROTOJET  Wind / Hydro-kinetic Turbines
Advantages Easy start, high torque Good efficiency at high fluid speed Very good torque Good torque, very good efficiency at high fluid speed Easy start, good torque, Easy start, very good torque, very good efficiency at high fluid speed

You can see a video of the Wind/Solar PV park with two axes tacking system with flat reflectors at: www.youtube.com/watch#!v=9S4R_U7RExY&feature=channel 

New invented 3 axes tacking Solar PV system in operation you can see at: www.youtube.com/watch#!v=zA1JMB6bH3Q&feature=channel

You can see how operate a 9 JET turbine module of dam Less Hydro Power Farm at very low water speed at  www.youtube.com/watch#!v=Nqe5DCZ4SRk&feature=channel . The Hydro Kinetic River module with common oil less over water drive train includes 3 stage RPM increaser and a common electric generator. Low cost high reliable patented solution for low cost power generation. The module shown is environmentally friendly and does not impact river life and river eco-systems.

All my inventions are easy applicable even together with existing renewable energy facilities/plants/farms. E.g. - Wind-PV synergy energy system is useful for any wind turbine and any manufacturer can incorporate PV-supporting ground structure around vertical mast of  his horizontal axis wind turbine. In low wind speed areas is possible to increase wind turbine energy yield above 50%. 

JET BLADE Turbines are applicable as wind motors of both horizontal and vertical rotor axis  in solar photovoltaic parks, hybrid wind-solar systems in urban environment and for zero energy homes (buildings). Based on the same principal I have invented number JET self augmented propeller, Savonius/Darrieus Hydro Turbines operating in free water streams.

An other type of submersible or semi-submersible turbine is axial flow hydrokinetic/tidal turbines. Hydrokinetic power makes use of swiftly flowing rivers or tides to turn windmill-like turbines, which in turn generate electricity. Hydrokinetic power is distinct from traditional hydro power in that dam construction is not required. Typically, a hydrokinetic turbine is submerged and secured to the riverbed, or is attached to existing infrastructure, such as bridge pilings or pontoons. Thanks to the additional JET mode of blade rotations new designed turbines can increase the turbine efficiency many times (see  a video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWoLchq3EME )

My several inventions are directed to the combination (hybrid) of a solar thermal (ST) and a photovoltaic (PV) device, each designed to capture energy in a different way, and to provide an assembly with better performance and economics than may result from the application of the two products separately (synergy effect). The main advantage of the presented innovative solutions (PV/ST co-generator see a video here) is that water (or water based fluid) is used as an infrared filter of PV-module. This way is prevented the PV-module from temperature increase because infrared sun rays absorption by water. Simultaneously both the water temperature and PV power output is increased. Overall PV/ST co-generator efficiency is increased up to 85-90 %. Several new patents of  hydrogen and hybrid cars see here  A video of new patented (BG 65691) PLUS energy home see at www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGY1rsBG_Ak

The Double Hydraulic-Electric (H-E) hybrid car (see video and pictures here) constructed by both patents (BG 65480 @ BG 65421) that uses rpm multiplication to improve the efficiency of the parallel regenerative  braking systems. The new patented Hydraulic-Electric (H-E) hybrid returns above  80 percent of the braking energy back to the wheels.

The developed advanced hybrid car takes synergy effects of both hydraulic and electric regenerative systems.

Patented Solar Powered E-cars

Because of the expense, political and ecological problems involved with importing oil world,needs electric cars. In fact, the only fundamental impediment to electric cars becoming more important than those with internal combustion engines is the difficulty of building a reasonably priced electric car (or a reasonably priced gas/electric hybrid with the electric motor being the dominant one) that has the range people want. It is also worth noting, however, that a "plug in" pure electric car or a hybrid whose dominant electric motor only relies on plug in electricity and electricity indirectly generated by the internal combustion engine is not so much better than a standard car in terms of global warming. This is because most "plug in" electricity is generated by fossil fuels. Solar power, on the other hand, is both free and does not cause global warming or other ecological problems. Therefore, we believe that the car of the future will have a dominant electric motor drive train whose primary source of power is solar.
