This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 11-167380, filed Jun. 14, 1999, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a blower, more particularly to a blower suitable for use in a septic tank of bio-filtration type.
In accordance with a rise in the awareness of environmental issues, more and more septic tanks have come into use. A septic tank is employed for the treatment of sewage, which is a water resource, i.e. one of the environmental resources. The septic tank is made up of: a settling separation tank into which sewage is supplied; a contact aeration tank into which the sewage is supplied after being cleared of the solid components in the settling separation tank; and a sedimentation tank to which the sewage is supplied after being treated with microorganisms in the contact aeration tank. In the sedimentation tank, the coagulated microorganisms (sludge) settle, and the supernatant liquid is disinfected and drawn off.
Inside the contact aeration tank, a contact filter medium is provided. Aerobic microorganisms attached on the surface of the contact filter medium propagate themselves in the presence of aerating air, which is supplied from a blower (air blower) by way of a pipe and an air diffuser. The organic matter included in the sewage is thus decomposed. Since the contact filter medium is contaminated in accordance with this decomposition, it is cleaned regularly or irregularly by supplying blowback air from the blower to the contact filter medium for a predetermined length of time of a day.
In the conventional art, a changeover valve is arranged in the pipe through which the compressed air from the blower flows. The changeover valve is provided for supplying aeration air or blowback air from the blower to the contact aeration tank. The valve is changed over between the aeration position and the blowback position. This type of prior art is disclosed in Jpn. Pat. Appln. KOKAI publication No. 10-196547, for example.
In general, the amount of blowback air supplied into a contact aeration tank per unit time is dependent on the type of that contact aeration tank. Regardless of the type, the amount of blowback air supplied must be controlled in relation to the amount of aeration air supplied during the same unit time. In the prior art, the amount of air supplied is controlled by using such a changeover valve as described above. Hence, the control of the changeover valve is complicated, and the amount of air supplied is hard to control with high accuracy.
An object of the present invention is to provide a blower which has solved the problems described above and which enables easy switching of air supply states. An another object of the invention is to provide a blower which enables the entire apparatus incorporating it to be simple in structure, small in size, and low in manufacturing cost.
To achieve these objects, the present invention provides a blower comprising:
a plurality of compressors;
a common air tank for storing compressed air supplied from the compressors;
a switching device for switching the compressed air taken in from the air tank between a first supply state and a second supply state; and
a controller for controlling operations of the compressors and a switching operation of the switching device, the controller being capable of selecting one operation pattern from among a plurality of operation patterns determined by combinations between the compressors and the switching device.
The switching device of the present invention is a changeover valve having: an intake port from which the compressed air supplied from the air tank is taken in; a first discharge port used in the first supply state; and a second discharge port used in the second supply port. The changeover valve selects one of the first and second discharge ports and discharges the compressed air taken in from the intake port to the selected discharge port.
The controller of the present invention selectively drives the compressors. When the changeover valve is changed over to the second discharge port, the controller selects an operation pattern under which the compressors are driven momentarily in an overlap manner.
The controller of the present invention drives the compressors in parallel. Each time the changeover valve is changed over to the second discharge port, the compressors are alternately stopped in accordance with a period in which the second discharge port is used for air supply. The time when the changeover valve is changed over is shifted from the time when the compressors are selectively stopped.
The present invention also provides a blower comprising:
a compressor;
an air tank for storing compressed air supplied from the compressor;
a changeover valve including an intake port from which the compressed air supplied from the air tank is taken in, a first discharge port, a second discharge port, a valve body movable such that the intake port selectively communicates with one of the first and second discharge ports, a member for urging the valve body to a position where the valve body allows the intake port to communicate with the first discharge port, a back-pressure chamber for producing back pressure which enables the valve body to move, against the urging force of the urging member, to a position where the valve body allows the intake port to communicate with the second discharge port, and a back-pressure intake port from which the back pressure is taken into the back-pressure chamber, the valve body of the changeover valve being moved by the urging force of the member to the position where the valve body enables the intake port to communicate with the first discharge port, and when the back pressure is taken into the back-pressure chamber, the valve body is moved by the back pressure to the position where the valve body enables the intake port to communicate with the second discharge port; and
a valve including an intake port from which the compressed air supplied from the air tank is taken in, the compressed air taken in from the intake port being supplied to the back-pressure intake port of the changeover valve when the changeover valve supplies the compressed air of the air tank to the second discharge port.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out hereinafter.

Lesson: How to Build a Bio-Filtration Septic Tank

Introduction:
A septic tank is an essential component of the wastewater treatment process. It is designed to break down the solid waste materials in the sewage, allowing only the clear liquid to pass through to the next stage of treatment. In this lesson, we will learn about the bio-filtration type of septic tank, its components, and how it works.

Section 1: Understanding the Bio-Filtration Septic Tank

Topic 1: What is a Bio-Filtration Septic Tank?
A bio-filtration septic tank is a type of septic tank that uses a specialized contact filter medium to facilitate the growth of aerobic microorganisms. These microorganisms help break down the solid waste materials in the sewage, making it easier for the remaining liquid to pass through to the next stage of treatment.

Topic 2: Components of a Bio-Filtration Septic Tank
A bio-filtration septic tank consists of three main components: the settling separation tank, the contact aeration tank, and the sedimentation tank. The settling separation tank is where the sewage is first introduced, and any solid waste materials are allowed to settle to the bottom before moving on to the next stage. The contact aeration tank is where the sewage is mixed with air to promote the growth of aerobic microorganisms, which help break down the solid waste materials. Finally, the sedimentation tank is where the remaining liquid is allowed to settle, with the sludge (coagulated microorganisms) being collected at the bottom.

Section 2: How a Bio-Filtration Septic Tank Works

Topic 1: The Settling Separation Process
When sewage is introduced into the settling separation tank, any solid waste materials will settle to the bottom due to gravity. This allows the clear liquid to be drawn off and sent to the contact aeration tank for further treatment.

Topic 2: The Contact Aeration Process
In the contact aeration tank, the sewage is mixed with air to promote the growth of aerobic microorganisms. These microorganisms attach themselves to the surface of the contact filter medium, where they can efficiently break down the solid waste materials.

Topic 3: The Sedimentation Process
Once the sewage has been treated in the contact aeration tank, it is sent to the sedimentation tank. Here, the remaining liquid is allowed to settle, with the sludge (coagulated microorganisms) being collected at the bottom. The supernatant liquid is then disinfected and drawn off for safe disposal.

Section 3: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios

Topic 1: Calculating the Efficiency of a Bio-Filtration Septic Tank
To determine the efficiency of a bio-filtration septic tank, you would need to measure the amount of solid waste materials that are removed during the settling separation process. This can be done by comparing the weight of the sludge collected in the sedimentation tank to the initial weight of the sewage introduced into the system.

Topic 2: Designing a Bio-Filtration Septic Tank for a Residential Home
Assuming a residential home generates 250 gallons of sewage per day, you would need to design a bio-filtration septic tank that can handle this volume while still meeting local and regional wastewater treatment standards. This would involve calculating the required settling separation tank size, contact aeration tank size, and sedimentation tank size based on the expected flow rate and solid waste materials removal efficiency.

Conclusion:
By understanding the components and processes involved in a bio-filtration septic tank, you can appreciate the importance of these systems in treating wastewater and protecting our environment. By applying the principles learned in this lesson, you can design and maintain effective wastewater treatment systems that meet the needs of your community.

text: IQBAL: A Novel. D'Adamo's brief book, his first published in the U.S., packs an emotional punch in a novel also inspired by the life and work of Masih. Narrator Fatima is a bonded servant in a carpet factory in Pakistan, where she and a dozen or so other children work from dawn until dusk with little food or water, handweaving carpets that make their "owner," Hussain Khan, wealthy. Into their factory steps young Iqbal. A stunning act of bravery nearly kills him but also plants a seed of rebellion in his fellow workers; another turn of events exposes just how corrupt and deeply ingrained the country's system is. D'Adamo's prose is straightforward, almost reportorial, but the author also carefully chooses hauntingly poetic images that reflect the children's plight: an open window too high for the children to view, and later, when hope begins to bloom, a kite. D'Adamo pays fitting respect to Iqbal's name and bravery with this eye-opening, genuinely touching novel. Ages 8-12. (Nov.). Release date: 11/01/2003.

**Lesson:** How to Calculate Age

**Introduction:**
Age is an important concept in mathematics that helps us determine how old someone or something is. In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate age using different methods.

**Theoretical Concept:**
To calculate age, we need to subtract the birth year from the current year. This gives us the person's age.

**Practical Examples:**
1. If Fredie Blom was born in 1904 and died in 2020, what was his age at the time of his death?
Answer: Fredie Blom was born in 1904 and died in 2020. To calculate his age, we subtract his birth year from the current year (2020).
1904 - 2020 = 105
Therefore, Fredie Blom was 105 years old at the time of his death.

2. If someone was born in 2000, what is their age in 2021?
Answer: To calculate their age, we subtract their birth year from the current year (2021).
2000 - 2021 = 21
Therefore, if someone was born in 2000, they would be 21 years old in 2021.

**Definitions:**
- Birth year: The year in which a person is born.
- Current year: The year in which we are currently living.
- Age: The number of years that have passed since a person's birth.

**Conclusion:**
In this lesson, we learned how to calculate age using different methods. We used practical examples to demonstrate how to calculate age using birth years and current years. We also defined key terms such as birth year and current year. By applying these concepts, we can determine someone's age and use this information to better understand their experiences and perspectives.

A Thermoelectric generator powered by a tealight. It started as an experiment of how much power I could get from one candle. But I liked the idea and it worked really well so I built this electric-mechanical ornament. I did not use a high temperature TEG-module, but instead a cheap TEC-module. That can still handle 200 degrees Celsius which is good enough.

Please see my other project with a more powerful TEG:

https://www.instructables.com/id/Battery-Charger-Powered-by-Fire/

Or how to create a self regulated thermoelectric CPU-cooler:

https://www.instructables.com/id/Portable-Airflow-Companion/

Concept:

It is also called a peltier element and when you use it as a generator it's called seebeck effect. You have one hot side and one cold. The module generates power to drive a motor and the motor fan/air flow will cool the upper heat sink. Higher temperature difference => increased output power => increased motor RPM => increased air flow => increased temperature difference and so on. The airflow will spread the heat into your room, which is the purpose of this construction.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_effect

If you unmounts the basement you could also use it as a stove-fan or move air from other heat sources. The motor start to turn at about 15 degrees difference, which to my surprise worked when I just went outdoors with it and the upper heat sink got cooler than the basement. You can place it in hot water, on an ice cube, a pizza and it works just as fine.

Total cost was about 50€ (incl. shipping costs). I used some spare parts but I bought most of it.

Components used:

• CPU-cooler (cold side): Zalman CNPS5X (Base plate: 33x33mm)

• CPU-cooler (hot side): From an old PC (WxLxH=78x63x67mm)

• TEC-module: TEC1-07110T200 (30x30x3.3mm)

• DC Motor: 1,5-3V

• USB-fan (metal, only needed the fan)

• Thermal paste: Arctic MX-4

• A piece of wood

• Two pull springs

• Four M4 bolts and two M3 bolts

• Aluminum tubes (optional)

TEC specification (at ΔT=68C):

Vmax: 8.5

Imax: 10

Qmax: 52.7

Tmax: 200 degrees Celsius

Source: http://www.termo-gen.com

Construction:

First of all, it does not need to be exactly those components. Other heat sinks, TEC/TEG, motor, fan, thermal paste, bolts and base plate can be used. Main concept rules are:

A TEC or TEG module (smaller dimension than upper heat sink base plate). Specifications are not that important but make sure it can handle high temperature. Many modules are only 100 degrees C and then you need to modify the construction as it gets warmer than that.

One hot side that is not hotter than TEC max-temp (My candle flame never touches the surface)

One cold side, an efficient heat sink (heat pipes) are a good choice

Good thermal paste to maximize temperature difference

Low voltage motor, around 1V. I prefer it to be quite (low dB)

Fan with high air flow at low RPM

Base plate that adds stability, holder for light, isolate heat

The lower heat sink (hot side) was cut and polished to get it nice looking. I kept 5mm of the fins to absorb the heat well when the light flame burns and increases distance to the surface. New dimensions are 78x63x15mm. 4 holes are drilled through the heat sink and threaded as M4. 4 bolts will hold the lower heat sink on top of a wooden platform. Bolts go through the platform from below, covered with aluminum pipes for a better looking design and are screwed into the heat sink. The distance between wood and heat sink is 35mm but I would make it 40-45mm as the flame almost touches the surface. You don´t want that because it creates black soot. The lower heat sink gets really warm but at the same time it works as a cooler to not get TOO warm, that would melt the TEG-module.

Two springs attached to M3 bolts fixate the upper heat sink on the lower, with TEC-module and thermal paste in between. Both surfaces of the TEC are covered with a thin smooth layer of thermal paste. The springs adds pressure as well as isolate the heat to travel to the cold side. The upper heat sink could also be screwed into the lower heat sink but then you need isolated screws.

The TEC is directly attached/soldered to the motor and the motor is attached to the upper heat sink by another small piece of metal and a cable tie. The fan is attached to the motor with a small belt wheel and glue.

Result:

I think the hot aluminum part get to about 100-150 Celsius, I measured the temp with a grill thermometer covered in thermal paste but can´t tell how accurate it was. I measured 0.4V and 0.25A with one candle and 0.67V and 0.54A with two. That results in 0.1W resp. 0.36W output power. The efficiency to produce electricity this way is not that impressive though. A candle produce about 25 Watts, that means 0.7% efficiency.. But who cares, everything this machine does will eventually end up in heat any way =) That is a bit interesting, you increase the room-heating speed (I think) but looses nothing..

It is a bit noisy to have running all the time. To find the optimal motor/fan => airflow/noise level will require some more experimenting.

Mod Proposals:

Skip the base platform and bolts and use it as a stove-fan.

Use two/four TECs side-by-side to multiply output power. Add a 5-10mm thick copper plate that covers all modules and then place the CPU-cooler on top of that.

Use a brushless DC motor and a suitable fan to make it noiseless.

Build in a slow motor beneath the platform to make the whole thing spin 360 degrees.

Put wheels on the platform.

Edit:

I have changed the motor to a "Tamiya 76005 Solar Motor 02 (Mabuchi RF-500TB)". Got it on Ebay. It´s incredibly strong at low RPM and I give it only 0.5V. A very good motor, but best of all, it´s quiet! I cannot hear it at 2m distance at full speed. It also gives stronger air flow. Now I can run it all time =)

Lesson: Thermoelectric Generators

Introduction:
Thermoelectric generators are devices that convert heat energy into electrical energy. They work based on the Seebeck effect, which is the generation of voltage in a conductor due to a temperature gradient. In this lesson, we will learn about the basic principles of thermoelectric generators, their applications, and how they work.

Section 1: Basic Principles

1. What is a thermoelectric generator?
A thermoelectric generator is a device that converts heat energy into electrical energy using the Seebeck effect. It consists of two main components: a heat source and a cold sink. When there is a temperature difference between these two components, an electric current flows through the device, generating electrical energy.

2. How does a thermoelectric generator work?
A thermoelectric generator works by exploiting the Seebeck effect. When a material experiences a temperature gradient, it generates a voltage across its boundaries. This voltage causes an electric current to flow through the material. The magnitude of the voltage depends on the temperature difference between the two components of the thermoelectric generator.

3. What are some applications of thermoelectric generators?
Thermoelectric generators have many applications, including powering electronic devices, charging batteries, and providing electricity in remote locations. They are also used in scientific research and industrial processes.

Section 2: Applications

4. How are thermoelectric generators used in electronic devices?
Thermoelectric generators can be used to power electronic devices, such as sensors and radios, in remote locations where there is no access to the electrical grid. They can also be used to charge batteries in portable devices, such as smartphones and laptops.

5. How are thermoelectric generators used in scientific research?
Thermoelectric generators are used in scientific research to study the properties of materials and their response to temperature gradients. They are also used to measure the efficiency of thermoelectric materials and devices.

Section 3: How They Work

6. What are the components of a thermoelectric generator?
A thermoelectric generator consists of two main components: a heat source and a cold sink. The heat source is the component that absorbs heat energy from the environment, while the cold sink is the component that dissipates heat energy into the environment.

7. How do thermoelectric generators convert heat energy into electrical energy?
Thermoelectric generators convert heat energy into electrical energy by exploiting the Seebeck effect. When there is a temperature difference between the heat source and the cold sink, an electric current flows through the device, generating electrical energy.

8. What factors affect the efficiency of thermoelectric generators?
The efficiency of thermoelectric generators depends on several factors, including the materials used, the temperature gradient, and the design of the device. The performance of thermoelectric materials is affected by their electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and the Seebeck coefficient.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the basic principles of thermoelectric generators, their applications, and how they work. We also explored the factors that affect their efficiency and the components that make up a thermoelectric generator. By understanding these concepts, we can better appreciate the potential of thermoelectric generators in providing clean, renewable energy sources for electronic devices and scientific research.

Anti-jerk

When a rider is going around a bend with 0% acceleration and starts to accelerate again, there is a problem: the sprockets have to be reactivated and move from neutral to pushing the motorbike forward. The chain and transmission system are not perfectly fixed, but are a little flexible. This causes a noticeable jerk effect when in use which can make the motorbike skid or even fall if it is on an incline or in a tricky position.

To avoid this, the anti-jerk system softens the impact as much as possible. The anti-jerk maps are simple and do not usually work for more than 50 milliseconds, just as the rider accelerates. The sensors that interact with this program also monitor the amount of gas that the rider uses, the speed of the back wheel, and the engine. If either of the latter two detects a sharp increase that would cause an excessive amount of jerking, the system adjusts the pressure on the motor by a certain percentage, which can sometimes reach 100%. All of this happens in the blink of an eye — just enough to soften the jerking movement.

Bandwidth reduction in a multistage Brillouin system.
We investigate the gain bandwidth of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in multistage systems. As we will show, the bandwidth is reduced significantly by the number of stages, which can increase the distortions in cascaded slow-light systems, for instance. However, other applications, which are limited by the minimum bandwidth achievable with SBS, can benefit from the reduced bandwidth. Since the peak value of the SBS gain spectrum is not reduced by this method, the reduced bandwidth can drastically enhance the performance of many different applications, such as the quasi-light storage (QLS). The minimum bandwidth of 10.3 MHz for a one-stage system was reduced down to 5.8 MHz for three stages. With this reduced bandwidth, we achieved a storage time advancement of the QLS method by 60%.

Lesson: Bandwidth Reduction in a Multistage System

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the concept of bandwidth reduction in a multistage Brillouin system. We will understand the importance of this concept and its applications in various fields.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is that bandwidth reduction in a multistage Brillouin system can lead to significant improvements in the performance of many different applications, such as the quasi-light storage (QLS).

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

1. What is a Brillouin system?
A Brillouin system is a nonlinear optical system that uses stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) to store and manipulate light pulses. It consists of a medium that can support both electric and magnetic fields, such as a photonic crystal fiber.

2. What is stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS)?
SBS is a nonlinear optical process that occurs when an intense light pulse interacts with a medium that supports both electric and magnetic fields. This interaction leads to the generation of new frequency components, which can be used to store and manipulate light pulses.

3. What is a multistage system?
A multistage system is a system that consists of multiple stages or components, each of which performs a specific function. In the context of Brillouin systems, a multistage system refers to a series of SBS devices connected in a cascaded manner.

Section 2: Practical Examples

4. How does bandwidth reduction affect the performance of QLS?
In the case of QLS, the reduced bandwidth can lead to a significant improvement in the storage time advancement. This is because the peak value of the SBS gain spectrum is not reduced, which means that the same amount of light can be stored in a shorter amount of time.

5. Can bandwidth reduction be applied to other applications?
Yes, bandwidth reduction can be applied to other applications that are limited by the minimum bandwidth achievable with SBS. For example, in optical communication systems, reducing the bandwidth can help to increase the capacity of the network by allowing more data to be transmitted over the same amount of bandwidth.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

6. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a multistage Brillouin system?
Advantages:
- The reduced bandwidth can lead to significant improvements in the performance of many different applications.
- The same amount of light can be stored in a shorter amount of time, which can be beneficial for applications that require fast storage and retrieval of light pulses.

Disadvantages:
- The increased distortions in cascaded slow-light systems can lead to degradation in the quality of the transmitted signal.
- The reduced bandwidth can limit the amount of data that can be transmitted over the network, which may not be suitable for all applications.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the concept of bandwidth reduction in a multistage Brillouin system and its applications in various fields. We also explored the advantages and disadvantages of using a multistage Brillouin system and discussed practical examples and self-debating discussions related to this topic.
