Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to generating electricity with a water engine. A water engine may include a boiler; a solar oven to retain heat with which the boiler is to heat a liquid to generate steam; a spout extending from the boiler to the liquid, through which the steam passes from the solar oven to the liquid and through which the liquid passes to the solar oven; a floating platform to float on the liquid; and a magnetic rotor operationally connected to the floating platform and to generate electricity by spinning in the liquid.

Claims (33)

1. A water engine for generating electricity, the water engine comprising:

a boiler exposed to contact with sunlight;

a solar oven configured to retain heat, from the contact between the boiler and the sunlight, with which the boiler is configured to heat a liquid to generate steam; and

a spout extending from the boiler to the liquid, through which the steam passes from the solar oven to the liquid and through which the liquid passes to the solar oven.

2. The water engine of claim 1 , further comprising a magnetic rotor configured to generate electricity by spinning in the liquid.

3. The water engine of claim 1 , wherein the spout is a first spout, the water engine further comprising a second spout extending from the boiler to the liquid, through which the steam passes from the solar oven to the liquid and through which the liquid passes to the solar oven, wherein the first spout is oriented to pass the steam into the liquid in a first direction, and wherein the second spout is oriented to pass the steam into the liquid in a second direction.

4. The water engine of claim 3 , further comprising a third spout extending from the boiler to the liquid, through which the steam passes from the solar oven to the liquid and through which the liquid passes to the solar oven, wherein the third spout is oriented to pass the steam into the liquid in a third direction different than the first direction and the second direction.

5. The water engine of claim 1 , wherein the spout is circular in shape.

6. The water engine of claim 1 , further comprising legs configured to stabilize the water engine.

7. The water engine of claim 1 , further comprising a hydraulic paddlewheel or a mill.

8. The water engine of claim 1 , further comprising a burner configured to heat the boiler.

9. The water engine of claim 8 , further comprising at least one processor configured to control ignition and deactivation of the burner.

10. The water engine of claim 1 , wherein the boiler comprises a coil.

11. The water engine of claim 1 , wherein the solar oven is a first solar oven, the water engine further comprising a second solar oven within the first solar oven.

12. The water engine of claim 1 , wherein the solar oven is transparent.

13. The water engine of claim 1 , wherein the solar oven is non-transparent.

14. A system for generating electricity, the system comprising:

a first water engine comprising:

a boiler;

a solar oven configured to retain heat, from sunlight, with which the boiler is configured to heat a liquid to generate steam;

a spout extending from the boiler to the liquid, through which the steam passes from the solar oven to the liquid and through which the liquid passes to the solar oven;

a floating platform configured to float on the liquid;

a magnetic rotor operationally connected to the floating platform and configured to generate electricity by spinning in the liquid; and

a paddlewheel or turbine configured to drive the magnetic rotor.

15. The system of claim 14 , further comprising a second water engine powered by the sunlight and operatively connected to the paddlewheel or turbine.

16. The system of claim 14 , further comprising a burner configured to heat the boiler.

17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the boiler comprises a coil.

18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the solar oven is a first solar oven, the first water engine further comprising a second solar oven within the first solar oven.

19. A device for generating electricity, the device comprising:

a boiler exposed to contact with sunlight;

a solar oven configured to retain heat, from the contact between the boiler and the sunlight, with which the boiler is configured to heat a liquid to generate steam; and

a spout extending from the boiler to the liquid, through which the steam passes from the solar oven to the liquid and through which the liquid passes to the solar oven.

20. The device of claim 19 , wherein the spout is a first spout, the device further comprising a second spout extending from the boiler to the liquid, through which the steam passes from the solar oven to the liquid and through which the liquid passes to the solar oven, wherein the first spout is oriented to pass the steam into the liquid in a first direction, and wherein the second spout is oriented to pass the steam into the liquid in a second direction.
