POWER GENERATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18200290 titled 'POWER GENERATION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The power generation device described in this patent application consists of a first rotating body, a second rotating body, a differential device, and a generator.
- The first and second rotating bodies convert the energy of a fluid into rotational motion.
- The differential device is connected to the first rotating body through a first transmission path and to the second rotating body through a second transmission path. It combines and outputs the rotational motion of both rotating bodies.
- The generator converts the rotational motion output from the differential device into electrical energy.
- The first and second rotating bodies are arranged in a specific direction, while the differential device is positioned offset from them in a perpendicular direction.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Power generation from fluid energy sources such as wind or water.
- Integration into renewable energy systems for electricity production.
- Use in remote or off-grid locations where traditional power sources are not available.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficiently converting fluid energy into rotational motion.
- Combining the rotational motion of multiple rotating bodies.
- Converting rotational motion into electrical energy.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased efficiency in power generation from fluid energy sources.
- Versatility in adapting to different fluid energy sources.
- Potential for decentralized and sustainable power generation.
Original Abstract Submitted
The power generation device disclosed in the present specification includes a first rotating body, a second rotating body, a differential device, and a generator. The first rotating body and the second rotating body convert energy of the fluid into rotational motion. The differential device is connected to the first rotating body via a first transmission path, and is connected to the second rotating body via a second transmission path, and combines and outputs the rotational motion of the first rotating body and the rotational motion of the second rotating body. The generator converts rotational motion output from the differential device into electrical energy. The first rotating body and the second rotating body are arranged along the first direction. The differential device is disposed offset from the first rotating body and the second rotating body in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
