Spring motor powered electricity generation system actuated by reciprocating natural forces

摘要

An electricity generation system that has the ability to generate clean electrical power by mechanically capturing the tremendous power of large trees as they sway in the wind. The system utilizes a modular unit that is mounted on a frame assembly covered by a housing. A plurality of spring motors are mounted in a spring motor housing that is journaled on an elongated spring-motor secondary winding axle. The inner end of each spring motor metal band is secured to the spring-motor secondary winding axle. The spring motor housing is releasably connected to a stationary retention plate to prevent rotation of the spring motor housing until the spring motors are wound a sufficient amount. A cable tether member has one end attached a tree trunk adjacent its upper area and the other end of the tether line is secured to the front end of a ratcheting arm. When the wind force bends the tree from it static upright position, the ratcheting arm is pulled downwardly causing a winding drive spur gear to rotate causing the spring motors to be wound incrementally each time the wind blows the tree from it static upright position. An electricity generator is mounted on the frame assembly and there is rotation transmission structure connected to the power generation drive shaft of the electricity generator. When the spring motor assembly has been sufficiently wound, a timing gear assembly releases the motor spring housing assembly allowing it to rotate freely to dissipate its stored energy and drive the electricity generator. This cycle is repeated throughout the day to generate electricity when the wind is blowing. A modified electricity generation system utilizes the wave motion of a natural body of water by tethering the ratchet arm to a floating buoy.
