top part of the pipe, a row of holes 9 is made,
intended for the sprinkling with cold water from
the well of the power element 7, made of nitinol.
For the water gathering the gutter 10, from
which the water is poured into the standing
next to it barrel 11, is intended.
Operation
When the weather is cool or in the morning,
when the sun with its rays did not heat the air
and the power element 7 made of nitinol yet, it
has the shape of an ellipse, which’s bigger axis
is horizontal (see picture 1).
In this case the piston 5, positioned in the
pumping unit 2 and connected to the power
element 7 and the pole 6, will stay at the top
position. The empty spaces of the pumping unit
are filled with water.
When the sun or warm summer air will heat up
the elliptical power element 7 to the shape
transforming temperature, it changes the shape
quick, but its bigger axis becomes vertical (see
picture 2).
As the consequence of that, the pole 6 and the
piston5, connected to it, move down in the
pumping unit, at the same time to the empty
space above the piston and the water from the
well flows through especially intended hole in
the unit’s wall. But water can not get from the
empty space under the piston to the top empty
space, so the valve 3 is shut. That’s why cold
well water from the empty space under the
piston during its downward motion through the
opened valve 4 flows to the pipe 8, raises up
through it and through the holes 9 sprinkles at
the power element 7, cooling it down, and then
the water is poured into the barrel 11.When it
cools down to the shape changing temperature,
the power element made of nitinol takes its
original shape – ellipse, which’s bigger axis is
horizontal, like on picture 1. In this case the pole
6 and the connected to it piston 5 raise upward.
Thus the valve 4 closes and prevents water leaks
from the pipe 8, and the valve 3 on the piston
opens and supplies the water transfer from the
empty space above the piston to the empty space
under the piston.
Thus, the entire system came to the original
state of condition again. The sun or the
environmental warm air heat the power element
again up to the temperature of its shape change,
at the same time the pump sends the next
portion of water, which again is cooling the
power element down, which, changing its own
shape, raises the piston up.
Such work of the solar pump is happening
without any people participation and without
of the electric energy wasting, but only due to
the energy of sun rays or heat of the air. And
there is more water needed for the watering,
when the sun heats warmer and air is warmer,
then, in that case, the solar pump with the
nitinol power element works more efficiently,
because its work cycles become more frequent.
In this construction the power element of
nitinol has a look of an ellipse.
However, this element may possibly be of
another shape too, for example, in a form of a
spiral spring made of a nitinol wire of the
corresponding diameter. In accordance with the
temperature change this spring will modify its
length and, consequently, move the device
connected to it to action.
The power element of nitinol, whatever shapes
it takes, does not need a supplement of any other
energy in addition to the sun’s heat, that’s why,
it is ecologically clean. It can be used not only
for the pump’s drive, but also for the other
machinery and generators.
The construction of a device with the power
element of nitinol may be so that the power
element, being heated up by the sun rays, is
cooling by periodical shadowing with a curtain.
And the power element of nitinol moves the
curtain by itself for the duration of the
transformation of its shape.
A pump like this one or another one
with a power element made of nitinol
can find the use in many regions,
precisely, where is no electric power
supply, and the delivery of another
kinds of energy resources is difficult,
for example on the veils in the desert.
