Abstract
To enable an increase in a torque amount applied to a blade with simple and low-cost means in a natural energy type power generator. An output reinforcement device of a power generator according to an embodiment is an output reinforcement device of a power generator including a rotor that includes at least one blade driven by renewable energy and a hub attached with the blade, the output reinforcement device including a casing that has a tubular shape and disposed to surround the hub, the casing having a through-hole through which the blade is inserted and being configured to rotate together with the rotor.
Claims9
A natural energy type power generator, comprising:
- a rotor that includes at least one blade driven by renewable energy and a hub attached with the blade, and
- an output reinforcement device configured to be installed with the rotor,
- wherein the output reinforcement device comprises a casing that has a tubular shape and is configured to surround the hub, the casing having a through-hole through which the blade is configured to be inserted, the casing being configured to rotate together with the rotor, and
- wherein the casing is formed in an airfoil shape in which an outer surface of the casing has a back shape and an inner surface of the casing has a belly shape in a cross section of the casing taken along an axial direction thereof, and
- wherein the blade is continuous from a radial inside of the output reinforcement device to a radial outside thereof.
