The Kitchen Sink Generator
The following system is then an emergency generator system or used for "off grid" living. The system may also be advantageous for cold climate living to then heat plumbing pipes to prevent high cost pipe repair due to water freezing in the pipes during cold weather. The system "cycles" the house's house hold water. The water pressure feed to then, "by higher velocity" inject the water being used back into the homes water system.

The design system may then be able to power a home if scaled correctly and harvest humidity to fill chilled water tanks in attic space then allowing for gravity or pressurized feed water ... also the water tanks, then with constant filtration and pathogen monitoring detection system ( water quality check safety system ).
If in winter the "Utility Grid" power fails water pressure will decline however with this system powering a water boost pump in the house the water pressure will remain and allow for the excess production of electricity to the aid in sustaining medical equipment if required.
Fuel less de-humidification will allow for the dwelling to continue to "harvest water from air even in arid climates while providing excess electricity to then be used in the home.
* Note - Routine cleaning is required for all components within the system including the water storage tanks!!!
* Note - The system's speed regulation will allow for higher levels of electricity output by increasing the system
magnetic field in the compound wound electrical permanent magnet Dc dynamo! Higher field resistance
yields higher electrical output... caution on rate of speed vs. material selection of dynamo and pump
assemblies... (elongation)
* Note - The system uses "sealed" inert gas type electrical generator's to prevent low level ozone
Description
System "start up"....The design system is connected to the kitchen sink then via connection hose with the lever locking the compression fitting in place to not allow water to escape the hose fitting. The system is "pre-start" pneumatically pressurized in the pressure tank with air. The sink water tap valve is opened and the hose is then water pressurized. The system electrical on switch is positioned to the "on" position and a lever connected via sheathed pull cable is then caused to position the valve, number 20 to open allowing water to traverse across the water impeller.
Since the water pump upon the opposite side of the ratio gear set is rotating faster than the intake water the hydraulic draft effect causes the system to accelerate pushing water under air pressure in the dual component pressure storage tank, number 6, who's higher pressure water discharge is directed via flow pipe to the electrically positioned divergence valve number 8. The divergence valve, number 8 then directs, via flow pipe water to the generator's ( dynamo's) water impeller causing the production of electricity. If over pressure is incurred the internal dampener valve in number 8, will then direct water to the system water reintroduction flow cycle. The electricity is directed to the system power management "bay" / electrical current inverters for use in the home. The water discharge then is returned to the water feed for the water sink's tap to then cycle the water.
The system maximum speed is regulated by water flow restriction with the r.p.m. sensor then assisting in water flow valve restriction via solenoid position. System run away effect fault circuit also references the r.p.m. sensor and has the ability to close valve number 20 to stop the system water flow. The hose over pressure back pressure will discharge from the tap hose compression fitting post dampener valve visa water flow port, number 24.
The system uses the house "electrical ground" to then control any stray electrical inductance. This prevents any
unintentional electrical shock hazard. The produced Dc electrical output may also act as an electrical charging power source to then increase the charge level in a homes electric storage batteries. This reduces the cost of some types of alternative energy home power supplies as the system then being an "Active" power production system allows for high levels of electricity not requiring expensive electrical storage batteries.....
Active electricity source production of electricity independent of weather conditions then makes the conversion to a low installation cost "carbon free" power source a bit more reliable. The system then also acting as an air filter having the requirement to vent the pressure vessel for safety. Any time material (water) flows a static electricity electrical charge can form so to prevent any resultant hydrogen from forming the system vents the incurred air pressure via pressure regulator dampener valve to the exterior of the dwelling while being electrically connected to the home electrical ground.
The system's electronics bay contains voltage regulation and electricity current "inverters" (sum of two Dc to Ac electrical current inverters).
