GENERATING ENERGY BY MEANS OF AUTARCHIC TYPE 2.1. TO TYPE 4.1. HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTS

The autarchic type-2.1 to type 4.1 hydroelectric power plants describe a method that extremely efficiently combines with one another the elements and assemblies that have been functioning for decades and, as it were, uses the gravity of the atmosphere, or rather the air pressure, at approx. 1.0 bar, as the main driving force for generating energy. Unlike solar energy and wind energy, the weight of the atmosphere is permanently available 24 hours a day and therefore can generate additional energy around the clock. The siphon principle involved in this method was used in Germany as early as 1927 for surface water transport in construction work and has been used since approximately 1900 to conduct water into lower collecting containers. In the method according to the invention, by using the atmospheric pressure as the driving force, the drop height for the generation of energy at a water turbine is generated by way of the siphon principle and by efficient pump units. It is thus possible that after deducting the energy needs of the pumps used, with type 4.1, for example, 16 units can produce a free and significant generation of energy for about 750,000 people, or for industry. The type-2.1 to type 4.1 plants can be installed above-ground or partially below-ground, depending on soil conditions, in all countries of the world and at costs that will amortize within a short period of time.
