Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a linear power generating device that utilizes the thrust generating technology described in Patent Document 1 and the power generating device technology that utilizes centrifugal force, gravity, and magnetic force described in Patent Document 2. [Background technology]

[0002] In the prior art, a linear generator utilizing centrifugal force has not been realized to date. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7029743 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 7291910 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The linear power generation device of the present invention aims to bring about an energy revolution that will solve the issues of zero emissions, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which is important for mitigating global warming, SDG Goal 7, ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy, and SDG Goal 13, climate change, and urgent action to mitigate climate change and its impacts. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In an example using gears as shown in the device example in Figure 1, the thrust generation technology described in Patent Document 1 and the technology of a power generation device that uses centrifugal force, gravity, and magnetic force described in Patent Document 2 are utilized. When rotating gears B1 and B2 attached to rotating gear A, which has a horizontal axis as its rotation axis, are meshed with fixed gear D to rotate rotating gear A, movable weight magnets C attached to rotating gears B1 and B2, which move in a straight line, move at high speed inside the power generation solenoid when the power generation solenoid coincides with a straight line extending from the center of rotating gear A1 outward due to the action of centrifugal force, generating an induced current.

[0006] In the device example in Figure 1, when rotating gear A starts to rotate, it consumes a large amount of energy, just like when you start pedaling a bicycle, but once it reaches a certain constant speed of rotation, the mass of the rotating gears and movable weight magnet C increases the moment of inertia, and a force acts to keep rotating gear A rotating. Furthermore, in order to minimize the energy loss from axial friction resistance, bearings are used for the bearings of each rotating gear, allowing rotating gear A to rotate at a constant speed with even less energy.

[0007] There are three widely known ways to increase induced current. 1. Move the magnet faster. The rate at which the magnetic field changes over a certain period of time increases, so the induced current also increases. 2. Use a magnet with stronger magnetic force. The change in the magnetic field increases, so the induced current also increases. 3. Increase the number of turns in the solenoid. Doubling the number of turns doubles the generated voltage, and the induced current increases. Therefore, by increasing the diameter of rotating gear A and increasing its rotational speed, by increasing the strength and weight of the magnetic force of movable weight magnet C, by increasing the number of turns of the power-generating solenoid, and by increasing the number of units that combine rotating gears B1 and B2 with the power-generating solenoid and movable weight magnet C, it is possible to continuously generate a larger induced current.

[0008] By combining various diameters and quantities of fixed gear D, rotating gear B1, and rotating gear B2, it is possible to generate an induced current that maximizes the total amount of moving energy.

[0009] Each time the power generating solenoid of rotating gear B1 and rotating gear B2 coincides with a straight line extending from the center of rotating gear A1 outward, movable weight magnet C moves outward at high speed due to the action of centrifugal force, but as movable weight magnet C moves back and forth within the solenoid, the flow of induced current switches directions, but it is possible to keep the flow of the generated induced current constant by using a commutator and brushes, etc. Also, changes in voltage and current, such as those caused by solar power generation, can be resolved with existing power conditioners. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The maximum continuous induced current can be used not only for daily household and industrial electricity consumption, but also as a power source for isolated villages, disaster-stricken areas, and undeveloped regions around the world, promoting zero emissions and achieving the SDGs. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] Front view of an example of a device using gears [Figure 2] Side view of a cross section of an example of a device using gears DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] In an example using gears as shown in the device example in Figure 1, the thrust generation technology described in Patent Document 1 and the power generation device technology using centrifugal force, gravity, and magnetic force described in Patent Document 2 are utilized. When rotating gears B1 and B2 attached to rotating gear A, which has a horizontal axis as its rotation axis, are meshed with fixed gear D to rotate rotating gear A, movable weight magnets C attached to rotating gears B1 and B2, which move in a straight line, move at high speed inside the power generating solenoid when the power generating solenoid coincides with a straight line extending outward from the center of rotating gear A due to the action of centrifugal force, generating an induced current.

[0013] When rotating gear A in the device example in Figure 1 starts to rotate, it consumes a large amount of energy, just like when you start pedaling a bicycle, but once it reaches a certain constant speed of rotation, the mass of the rotating gear and movable weight magnet C increases the moment of inertia, and a force acts to keep it rotating. Furthermore, to minimize the energy loss due to axial friction resistance, bearings are used for the bearings of each rotating gear, allowing all of the rotating gears to rotate at a constant speed with less rotational energy.

[0014] In the example device shown in Figure 1, by increasing the diameter of rotating gear A and raising the rotational speed, increasing the magnitude and weight of the magnetic force of movable weight magnet C, increasing the number of turns of the power-generating solenoid, and increasing the number of units combining rotating gear B1, rotating gear B2, power-generating solenoid, and movable weight magnet C, the maximized induced current can be generated continuously.

[0015] The terms and expressions used in this specification and claims are merely descriptive and not limiting in any way, and are not intended to exclude terms and expressions equivalent to the features described in this specification and claims and portions thereof. It goes without saying that various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention. [Example]

[0016] In an example using gears as shown in the device example in Figure 1, the thrust generation technology described in Patent Document 1 and the technology of a power generation device that uses centrifugal force, gravity, and magnetic force described in Patent Document 2 are utilized. When rotating gears B1 and B2 attached to rotating gear A, which has a horizontal axis as its rotation axis, are meshed with fixed gear D to rotate rotating gear A, the centrifugal force causes movable weight magnets C attached to rotating gears B1 and B2, which move in a straight line, to move at high speed inside the power generation solenoid, generating an induced current, when the power generation solenoid coincides with a straight line extending outward from the center of rotating gear A. [Industrial Applicability]

[0017] It will replace power generation equipment powered by fossil fuels, enabling long-distance, long-term use as a power source for eV vehicles and VTOLs, and will also be used as a power source for isolated villages, disaster-stricken areas, and undeveloped regions around the world, promoting zero emissions and the achievement of SDGs.

Claims

[Claim 1] This is a power generation method in which rotating gears B1 and B2, which are attached to rotating gear A whose rotation axis is a horizontal axis, are meshed with fixed gear D. When rotating gear A is rotated, movable weight magnets C, which move in a straight line and are attached to rotating gears B1 and B2, move at high speed inside the power generation solenoid due to the action of centrifugal force when the power generation solenoid coincides with the line extending from the center of rotating gear A to the outside, generating an induced current.
