Research on the Upper Chamber Volume of Surge Tank of a Diversion-type Hydro-Power Station with Mid-inflow

Authors: YongSu Jo, GyongIl Sin, CholGyong Kim, UnChol Ri
Comments: 4 Pages.

Mid-inflow is the flow into the middle of the head race tunnel that can be effectively used in the electric power generation. The mid-inflow makes differences of velocities and head losses in the head race tunnel between two sides and influences the water level oscillation in surge tank consequently. An analytical formula of the upper chamber volume of the surge tank with an expansion chamber considering the effect of mid-inflow is established and the accuracy of the formula is evaluated through comparisons to numerical analysis. With installation data, the influence of mid-inflow on the upper chamber volume is discussed.

Global Trends in the Development of Renewable Energy and Its Rational Use

Authors: UnChol Ri, GumChol Ri, JinHyok Jeon, WonIl Jang, YongGuk Jo, SongBok Pak
Comments: 9 Pages.

The depletion of fossil resources has raised interest in the use of renewable energy worldwide. In this paper, we analyze the global trend of rational use of regenerative energy. In this paper, through analysis of global trends in the rational use field of renewable energy, problems to be improved in the rational use of renewable energy were considered.

A Review of Lawson Criterion for Nuclear Fusion

Authors: Les G. Miklosy
Comments: 22 Pages.

In the pursuit for abundant clean energy from nuclear fusion, the Lawson Criterion is cited by fusion researchers and experimentalists as the condition to exceed for fusion of atomic nuclei to occur. In his 1955 paper J.D. Lawson analyzed a fusion plasma conforming to thermodynamic principles at steady-state but with stated omissions and simplifications. Modern fusion researchers developed many incantations of the Lawson Criterion urging their brand leads to fusion ignition, necessarily to sell a rational fusion hypothesis and attract research funding. Others have shown how confined fusion in the laboratory cannot satisfy a positive energy balance due to energy losses from the system. A literature search for "fusion energy balance" shows a suspicious absence of this sanity-check to verify the energy condition was met. This paper applies conservation of energy from classical thermodynamics to a fusion plasma and summarizes eleven modern Lawson-like interpretations in a uniform way, doing so shows the requirements for fusion ignition are not met. Indeed despite billions of speculative dollars spent, sustained laboratory fusion has not been demonstrated in any experimental apparatus built and tested to date worldwide. Heed the warning, in 1955 John D. Lawson wrote: “To conclude we emphasize that these conditions, though necessary are far from sufficient. The working cycle that has been assumed is very optimistic.”

Wherever there is a Dynamic Touch, there is Electromagnetic Field——a Discovery for Power Generation

Authors: Xia Cao
Comments: 17 Pages.

Can you imagine that when you slide gently on an acrylic board with hand, hundreds of LEDs under the board will be lit up! Here we have found that all matters under forces can generate electromagnetic energy, even under a tiny force like wind blow. When a polytetrafluoroethylene sheet is tapped by a hand, the generated electromagnetic field can drive three light boards directly, producing a high output voltage of 3678 V. Amazingly, there was an electrical signal when the wind blew onto a matter such as flower, water, wood, polymethyl methacrylate, paper, stone, ceramic etc. There is an optimal matching state between the substance and the force to reach the maximum electrical output. Finding the best matter and the best collision state of it has significant impacted on the development of new energy and nuclear energy. According to these discoveries, the simplest and the most efficient power generation devices and self-powered systems were designed for collecting electromagnetic energy. The power generation bucket can be easily used to collect energy in the ocean. The power generation stone, and the power generation road can supply for streetlamps, traffic lights, electronic advertising boards, and distributed sensors, etc. These discoveries reported here are expected to have profound impacts on a broad range of applications.
