HIGH-POWER FOUCAULT'S PENDULUM POWER GENERATION APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that high electromotive force cannot be obtained, and the practical application is difficult by a method in which, based on the principle that the Foucault's pendulum motion is continued by the rotation of the earth when a weight hanged from a high position is oscillated in the east-west direction, a transversely long bar-shaped permanent magnet depicting a slight arc as the weight is used and allowed to go in/come from a solenoid similarly depicting an arc upwardly to generate the power.;SOLUTION: In a natural power generation method, a weight is not used as a permanent magnet, the weight has an ideally spherical shape or the like for the pendulum motion, and a straight permanent magnet connected to the weight is reciprocated in a straight solenoid fixed to the right and left ends of the pendulum motion to obtain electric power. By the method, the electromagnetic contact surface between the magnet and the solenoid can be expanded as much as the pendulum driving force permits, and even when the pendulum motion is at the highest speed, the power generation is not discontinued, and the continuous power generation becomes possible. Further, by pushing back the permanent magnet reaching the endpoint by the magnetic repulsive force, a large amplitude can be realized, and the power with a complete AC waveform can be obtained.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
