Abstract

A hydro-accumulating electric power plant has upper and lower water reservoirs, pipe for water lowering from the upper reservoir to the lower one with gate to close water in which turbine is placed, this is connected to the shaft of electric generator. The pipe for water lowering from the upper reservoir to the lower one has inner end walls and is placed in vertical position, at that its lower end is placed over the level of water of the lower reservoir. In the pipe on the shaft of electric generator with gaps at least one turbine is additionally installed, and the shaft is installed on slide bearings placed coaxially in the end walls of the pipe, with openings. On the lower end of the shaft, after the last end wall of the pipe, toothed wheel is fixed, with possibility of transfer of its revolutions to rotor of electric generator placed at distance from the pipe for water lowering from the upper reservoir to the lower one, and lower the toothed wheel box is placed for collection of water flowing from pipe with turbines to the lower reservoir.
