Entirely novel and environmentally friendly energy technologies
Self-running running and zero emission generators which are based on autonomous hydraulic oscillations and the ram pump principle
Last update 29 March 2024
This self-running and zero emission energy technology is based on a specific type of constructions which are operated with water (or another fluid), or under water, or under a high internal water or fluid pressure. These systems - also called self-running ram pumps - generate usable mechanical, electric and / or thermal energy via autonomous hydraulic oscillations. Self-running ram pumps were, for example, constructed and advanced by the Russian inventor Dr. V. Marukhin and his co-workers. There are various kinds of constructions and sizes. For example, a steel tube design with 80 cm height and 20 cm diameter which is operated with an internal fluid pressure and oscillation frequency of about 3000 bar and 3000 Hz, respectively, can generate a permanent electric output power of several 100 kW. Two examples of such types of self-running generators and their specifications:

Besides
an oscillating fluid under high pressure these generators comprise also
a gas buffer which is likewise oscillating under high pressure. The
fluid is for example water or glycerine and the gas is for example air
or nitrogen. After assembling such a generator the high internal fluid
and gas pressure can be achieved by a high pressure pump.
The generators which operate under a high internal fluid and gas pressure cannot be simply switched on or off. To initiate the self-running fluid and gas oscillations it is necessary to apply a specific high pressure pulse for a short time. That is realized by an electrically ignited explosion of about 2 g gun powder. The resulting pressure wave is transferred into the generator via a shock valve. That procedure requires special skills and for safety reasons an environment / space / laboratory which is protected against explosion. Once the self-running fluid and gas oscillations are started it is not necessary to stop them periodically, even if there are no electrical loads. Therefore the special starting procedure is usually required just once.
For safety reasons the steel tube is always designed for a pressure which is twice as as high as the operating pressure.
The
mechanical energy of the fluid and gas oscillations is
converted into electric energy by piezoelectric transducers. Their performance decreases over time and therefore the usable maximum output power of a
generator diminishes annually by a few percent. The piezoelectric transducers
generate a high DC voltage such as 12 kV. It can be converted into a
convenient AC form of electricity by using an appropriate custom-made
DC / DC converter (e.g. for 12 kV --> 1 kV) and an appropriate DC / AC
converter (e.g. for 1 kV DC --> 400 V / 50 Hz). The dimensions and
weight of the converter are much larger than that of the generator. The
following picture shows an example of a DC / AC converter.

PVS 980 from ABB. Output power up to 2 MW. Dimensions and weight 3.2 x 2.4 x 1.5 m and 3500 kg, respectively. Image source: Ref1 or a presentation (40 pages, 3 MB pdf) from May 2021 by Adolf Schneider
The autonomously running generators developed by Dr. M. Marukhin and his co-workers are already in use at some undisclosed industrial customers.
The Swiss company TransAltec AG intends to acquire a general license for the most recent version of 1 MW generators for all countries apart from Southeast Asia and make some demonstration generators available which can be viewed and inspected on request. Some specifications of the most recent version of 1 MW generators: height 42 cm, diameter 15 cm, weight 40 kg, estimated final price about 1000 Euro / kW. However, the implementation of this intention is meanwhile stuck because of the imposed sanctions against Russia.
The undisclosed customers have not reported their experiences with their generator and their associated DC / DC converter and DC / AC converter. Therefore several items are not yet concretely known, namely the design of an appropriate DC / DC converter, the behavior of the generators and converters under various conditions such as a resistive, capacitive, and / or inductive load, and the power stability and safety over a long period of time. Another delicate item is the start of the generators by an electrically ignited explosion of about 2 g gun powder. Is that always reliable and safe, especially when it has to be performed at a customer site ?
Comments concerning the operation principle of self-running and zero emission generators which are based on hydraulic water (fluid) oscillations: The author of this website and report assumes that these and any other self-running energy technologies extract
usable energy from an everywhere present form of energy which is called space energy, space-time energy, vacuum energy, or ether energy as described in an information document about entirely novel and environmentally friendly energy technologies. The tapping of this form of energy happens probably via the
earth`s gravitational field which acts on the water (fluid) molecules and / or via
electromagnetic fields that act at the atomic level between or on water
(fluid) molecules.
