A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
To solve the problem that: energy-efficient water transportation methods are required for greening and the like; generally, when moving water, a large amount of energy is consumed to transport it by a moving body or to drive a pump or the like; even when renewable energy is used, light energy, potential energy due to height difference, and kinetic energy of running water are used, and it does not operate unless the usage conditions are limited; and the challenge is not to be large-scale, not to consume energy, and to move water to any direction and altitude.SOLUTION: Water is transported to an arbitrary direction or altitude as a spontaneous phenomenon of the water itself without using energy, using three components: a water transport part that generates capillary action, a water retention part made of gel, and an outer wall part that suppresses evaporation on the surface. The water transport part should maintain continuity throughout the system.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】緑化などのためにエネルギー効率の良い水の輸送法が求められている。一般的に水を移動させる際、移動体で輸送したりポンプなどを駆動するために多量のエネルギーを消費する。再生可能エネルギーを用いる場合も光エネルギーや高低差による位置エネルギーや流水の運動エネルギーを用い、限定された使用条件でないと動作しない。大掛かりではなく、エネルギーを消費せず、自由な方向や高度まで水を移動することが課題である。【解決手段】毛細管現象を生じる水輸送部と、ゲルなどからなる水保持部、および表面の蒸発を抑制する外壁部の三つの構成要素を用いて、水を任意の方向や高度までエネルギーを用いずに水自身の自発的な現象として輸送する。水輸送部は系全体を通して連続性を保つようにする。【選択図】図1
