Description
Power source device
The subject of the invention is a power source device, which includes a protective cover, a negative electrode, an electrolyte connected to the negative electrode and the positive electrode, so that the negative electrode and the positive electrode is connected to a cable, and the cable is connected to a consumer.
The voltaic pile, i.e. the first electro-chemical unit, was presented by Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta in 1800. The pile consists of zinc and copper plates (electrodes) placed onto each other, so that paper sheets soaked in salt water (electrolyte) are placed between the plates as separators. During the electro-chemical process, zinc ions are released from the zinc electrode into the electrolyte, so that the electrode has a negative charge (oxidation). On the surface of the other electrode, hydrogen gas is produced through the merger of positive hydrogen ions and electrons (reduction). A current is started when the negative zinc electrode (anode) is connected to the positive copper electrode (cathode), and this current can be used for electric work. Contemporary batteries also work on the basis of this electrochemical process, and they are at our disposal with electrodes and electrolytes of various materials and conditions. Technical improvements have increased the electric performance and life expectancy of such batteries significantly.
The state of the art includes the following solutions. Chinese publication document No. CN105569910 A describes a device that produces electric current gravitational force. The device is based on a water-pressure cylinder with valve, and a low-pressure water pool. The water in the cylinder is pressed by a weight placed on the valve using gravitation, so that the pressure in the cylinder is increased. The resulting relative difference in pressure is used to start an electric current, and water flows into the low-pressure pool.
US patent document No. US9331548 Bl describes a device that converts the mechanical energy of vehicle and pedestrian traffic into electricity, so that it uses gravitational energy to produce electricity. The weight of vehicles presses the device downward. The device is connected to a piston and a rotating axis, which are used to convert mechanical energy into rotation energy. The rotation energy is converted into electricity using an electric generator. Chinese utility model No. CN203009142 U describes a hydroelectric power station that produces electricity using the gravitation of a building. The advantage of the solution is that it
is environmentally friendly yet efficient. The hydroelectric power station can be connected to the fire extinguishing system of the building, so that it can supply water for the system in case of fire.
US patent description No. US2003137221 Al describes an electric generator, container, and supplier, which are activated by force. The device is based on a piezo-electric material. The purpose of the device is to convert mechanical energy into electric energy. The generator is capable of providing electric power for small electronic devices.
UK publication document No. GB2464148 A describes a device that converts the kinetic energy of vehicles travelling on roads into electricity. The purpose is achieved by using piezo- electric cables. The cables are placed in insulation materials, which then are covered in rubber. The weight of the vehicles presses the piezo-electric cable, which produces electricity as a result. As an alternative to the device, the cable is placed under the rail of trains. The advantage of this solution is that it is an environmentally friendly alternative power source. A similar device is described in Japanese publication document No. JP2008196329 A.

Japanese patent description No. JP3316186 Bl describes a production procedure during which the fibre structured components having an adverse impact on the operation of solid electrolytes can be removed. In the course of the procedure, the crashed and mixed components are filtered, so that the larger components of the mix can be removed. Subsequently, the mix is granulated, dried, and then finally. The invention differs from the inventions identified during the search in that the gravitational pressure is not converted into electricity by changing the potential energy of water or using piezo crystals, but it includes a galvanic cell, which differs from the
components belonging to the state of the art in that the used electrolyte is neither liquid nor a gel, but a granulated crystal electrolyte.
The purpose of the invention is to eliminate the shortfalls of known solutions and to implement a device that is capable of producing electricity using pressure through a micro-granulated crystal electrolyte galvanic cell.
The inventive step is based on the recognition that a more advantageous device than the ones known can be created if the invention is implemented according to claim l .This recognition allows the conversion of the load-induced pressure force in a given point into electricity.
According to the desired objective, the most general implementation form of the solution according to the invention can be implemented according to claim 1. The various implementation forms are described in the sub-claims.
The solution is a general power source device which includes a negative electrode, a positive electrode, an electrolyte connected to the negative electrode and the positive electrode, so that the negative electrode and the positive electrode is connected to a cable, and the cable is connected to a consumer. A distinctive feature of the invention is that the electrolyte has a crystal structure, the electrolyte is surrounded horizontally by a spacer 4 from all directions, the spacer is connected to the negative electrode, the positive electrode, and the electrolyte, and a pressure load bearing part 8 part generating movements in the electrolyte is placed above the negative electrode, the positive electrode, the spacer, and the electrolyte.
In another implementation form, the negative electrode, positive electrode, spacer, and electrolyte is covered by a protective cover, which is made of a flexible material.
In yet another implementation form, the spacer is made of a flexible but load-bearing material, and the maximum height of the spacer is 20 mm.

The consumer 7 may be, for example, lightning, any electronic technical device, or a battery. The volume of the produced current depends on the quality of the material of the negative electrode 2 and the positive electrode 3, as well as the electrolyte. The voltage between the negative electrode 2 and the positive electrode 3 is 0.4 and to 3 V. Multiple components can be connected serially to achieve a higher voltage. The negative electrode 2 is advantageously made of zinc, magnesium, or copper, and the positive electrode 3 is primarily made of copper, zinc, silver, gold, or lithium cobalt oxide. The negative electrode 2 and the positive electrode 3 is surrounded by a protective cover 1 , which is made of flexible material, e.g. insulating foil. The protective cover 1 is not required. The electrochemical processes in the battery are started by pressure, so the battery must be placed under a pressure part 8. On the implementation example shown on the figure, the architectural use of the invention is presented. In such a situation, the pressure part 8 is advantageously a wall, so that the pressing force of the wall works on the galvanic cell placed into or under the wall. In
such a situation, the device may be located on the plane surface of the foundation. The water insulation and the insulation holding wall protects the device placed under the load bearing wall, and the load bearing wall puts continuous pressure on the invention. When used in architecture, the battery may not be replaced after expiry, meaning that the device remains installed but does not produce electricity any longer.
The presented device has numerous advantages. An advantage of the invention is that it can be widely used on the field of architecture and engineering, and in any location where gravitation exerts significant pressure for an extended period. Another advantage of the device is that it does not include any moving parts, so it does not require any maintenance. Another advantage is that it can last for a long period, even until 10 to 15 years. The invention produces electricity during its entire life, without the need to replace or repair any component. Another advantage is that various materials can be used to implement the invention, and it can be implemented in various sizes. A significant advantage is that the device does not pollute the air or the environment during its operation, so it may play an important role in the future of power production. An advantage of the crystalline electrolyte is that the galvanic cell operates with good efficiency even at low temperatures, and it can also improve its capacity.
The application fields of the invention include, among others, engineering, architecture, heavy duty vehicles, and all other fields where the device can be exposed to continuous outside pressure.
In addition to the above examples, the invention may be implemented in other forms and with other manufacturing procedures within the scope of protection.
