Abstract

[Problem] To provide a electrical generator capable of obtaining a more stable power generation by preventing a spindle body from tilting and swinging to the right and left due to centrifugal force acting on the spindle body.

[Solution] A electrical generator (1) has: a rotating body (2) that rotates in a vertical plane about a rotating shaft (21) supported substantially horizontally; a rotation drive means (3) for rotating the rotating body (2); a plurality of power generation motors (4) disposed at equal intervals on the same circular orbit centered on the rotating shaft (21) of the rotating body (2); and a spindle body (5) hung at the motor rotating shaft (42) of each of the power generation motors (4). The spindle body (5) weighs such that when the rotating body (2) is rotated at a predetermined rotational speed, the gravity thereof is larger than the centrifugal force acting on the spindle body (5), and the center of gravity thereof is set close to the motor rotating shaft (42).

Claims

1. An electrical generator comprising:

a rotary body which rotates in a vertical plane about a rotary shaft which is nearly horizontally supported;

a rotation driving unit which rotates the rotary body powered by an external power source;

a plurality of power generation motors which are arranged at an equal interval on a trajectory on a same circumference about the rotary shaft of the rotary body; and

a weight body which is hung from a motor rotary shaft of the power generation motors, wherein;

the weight body comprises;

an arm of a nearly semicircular shape which comprises a linear portion and an arc portion; and

a weight which is provided at an arbitrary position along the arc portion;

the motor rotary shaft is positioned on a right side of a center of the linear portion when the rotary body rotates clockwise, and is positioned on a left side when the rotary body rotates counterclockwise; and

the weight is positioned on a right side of a center of the arc portion when the rotary body rotates clockwise, and is positioned on a left side when the rotary body rotates counterclockwise.

2. The electrical generator according to claim 1, wherein:

the weight body is provided with an air resistance receiving portion which receives resistance of air produced by rotation of the rotary body; and

the air resistance receiving portion is provided on a left side when the rotary body rotates clockwise, and is provided on a right side when the rotary body rotates counterclockwise.

3. The electrical generator according to claim 1, wherein a shift gear which rotates the motor rotary shaft at a number of rotations equal to or more than a number of rotations at which the rotary body is rotated is provided between the weight body and the motor rotary shaft.

4. The electrical generator according to claim 2, wherein a shift gear which rotates the motor rotary shaft at a number of rotations equal to or more than a number of rotations at which the rotary body is rotated is provided between the weight body and the motor rotary shaft.
