Wasted Wind Farm Energy, can be Recovered
What a pity that about 60% of all the energy that is collected by Wind
Turbines in the UK is then Wasted by being blown out of the exhausts of the
22 million Vacuum Cleaners that are used in England and Wales
It takes over 650 wind generators to provide the energy that is being wasted
in the air that is blown from 22 million vacuum cleaners.
That is more than half of the entire output of all the Wind Farms in the UK.
This does not have to happen;The wasted energy can be easily reclaimed.
A closed loop system has been researched and has proved to be a viable and
economical way of returning this wasted air power, back into the cleaner
head then using it to do useful work.
Prototype closed loop cleaners that use only 250 watts of power have been
field tested and prove that they will clean a carpet as well or better than
a conventional 1,500 watt to 2,500 watt Vacuum Cleaner.
The filters in vacuum cleaners that are used to try to clean the air before
it is released can never be 100% efficient and they are only capable of
removing particles down to 0.3 microns or 300 nanometres, but viruses are
only 20 to 200 nanometres across so they can all get through the very best
filters.
The filters also waste energy because they are so dense they require bigger
motors to drive the air through them.
Whereas a closed loop system will function safely with just a basic filter
this is because no air is allowed to leave the machine.
At switch off the air speed is gradually reduced allowing any particles to
come to rest in the dust, that is inside the dust container.
Vacuum Cleaners by their very nature rely on the ambient air pressure of
14.7 pounds per square inch to provide the air pressure that is used to
clean the carpet.
The closed loop system is not limited in this way and the exhaust air is
returned at well over 14.7 pounds per square inch improving the overall
efficiency of the machine.
The bugs are left inside the container No smell, less noise, and only a
fraction of the power consumed.
