Chapter 197 Energy Storage

With so many fixtures added to the massive hull and those pebble shells for golf stone cannons, although not yet fully loaded, they are still much heavier than empty boats. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The most important thing is that there are also golf stone cannons and conveyor belts in the fixed facilities added on cargo ships, so it is necessary to find a stable and convenient source of energy for these large power consumers.

The power of the DC motor used in each golf stone cannon is 5,000 watts, and the power of 20 golf stone cannons is 100 kilowatts, plus the power consumption of those high-pressure water cannons, the total power of all the equipment on the cargo ship reaches 150 kilowatts when it is fully opened.

Although there is a generator with a power of 175 kilowatts on the ship, the consumption of diesel oil makes Wei Minsheng feel painful, because Liu Mengling's acquisition of the gas station has not yet been settled, so this generator can only be used as a backup power source in an emergency.

In order to expand the power source of other channels, the fixed facilities installed in the three container houses on the cargo ship were all emptied, and a customized iron frame was reinstalled, and the upper and lower iron frames were firmly fixed to the container body with bolts, and there were aisles between each two rows of iron frames for easy maintenance.

The iron frame is densely packed with batteries, which provide stable power to each electrical equipment through series and parallel connections.

The grouped power supply method can prevent the battery pack from having problems and affecting all electrical facilities, and limit the problem to a certain part that is easy to identify, so as to facilitate maintenance.

There are three main sources of electricity, on the one hand, the additional power provided by the marine engine, but the total amount of additional power is small, and it can only be provided when the engine is working, and the additional power generated by the engine on the cargo ship is far from enough.

Although the output power of 1500 horsepower has far exceeded the total power generation power generated by Huaxia Villa, the speed of using oil, no, Wei Minsheng felt that he should use "drinking oil" to fully express his feelings in his heart.

To fill up the fuel tank once, you need to add more than five tons of diesel, which is the real "oil tiger", it is better to directly use the diesel generator set to generate electricity.

It's not bad to squeeze a little surplus value during the drive, and it's better to use it specifically for power generation, if it's not very necessary, Wei Minsheng doesn't want to use this thing at all, it's too expensive to spend money.

The second source is to charge the batteries through the power generation equipment on the docks, and the output of the tens of kilowatts of cheap gas generator sets is too small, and the space required to process the fuel is too large to fit on this cargo ship.

However, there is a wide area on the dock to establish multiple generator sets, and the number of generator sets will be increased if the single output is too small, so as to make up for the lack of output power.

The third is to install a special folding turbine on each side of the cockpit.

The so-called folding turbine is actually a five-meter-long steel pipe protruding from the cockpit to the left and right, and a steel wheel with twelve spokes and a diameter of eight meters is fixed at the outer end of the pipe.

The tube has the same wheel near the side of the ship, which can be controlled by a locking pin to slide down the tube.

Twelve baffles are installed on the corresponding spokes of the two wheels, and at both ends of these baffles are fixed a steel pipe a little larger than the spoke, which is sleeved on the spokes and fixed to the outer ring of the spokes with a locking pin.

The baffles are easy to install and remove, but they also have a more important purpose, folding, because the middle of these flaps is connected with hinges and can be closed in one direction.

When the cargo ship is anchored in the river, the wheel near the side of the ship can be fixed to the steel pipe, so that the flap between the two wheels is facing the direction of the bow.

When the ship is put into the water, the flowing river water pushes the baffle to drive the steel pipe in the middle of the water wheel, which drives the power generation equipment to generate electricity, and then stores it through the ship's battery pack for later use.

Although the power of the two water wheels is not large, a total of less than 50 kilowatts of output, but the advantage is that the power generation time is long, as long as the ship is on the Yangtze River, it can generate electricity almost without sleep, this free Yangtze River water resources do not need to be used in vain, waste is shameful.

If the cargo ship needs to move, the water wheel is raised, the water baffle is lifted out of the water, and the steel pipe that holds the outer wheel can be retracted after removing the bayonet of the inner wheel.

Due to the presence of hinges, the baffle will be folded, and eventually the two water wheels will also be together, leaning against the side of the ship, and simply fixing it with a rope, and the cargo ship will not have any impact on the operation at all during the journey.

Originally, Wei Minsheng also wanted to lay solar panels on the wooden board on the top, but after thinking about it carefully, this is not a cruise ship, this TM is used for war, and if it is damaged, the loss will be great.

The wind power on the Yangtze River was not bad, but now this cargo ship has been modified like this, the center of gravity has risen a lot, if a few more high wind turbine rotors are installed, it is estimated that no one else can be used to destroy, a crosswind can capsize the entire cargo ship, then I am afraid that people will laugh off their big teeth.

Eventually, these three sets of power supply methods became the main source of electricity for this water fortress, of course, as long as the platform is there, there is countless room for improvement, in case there is a greater demand for electricity in the future, it is also possible to adjust a few more rooms, and add one or two sets of gas generators, but the noise may be a little unbearable.
