US 11,387,704 B2 · Portable private power generation apparatus and module equipped with same

Abstract

Disclosed are a portable private power generation apparatus, and a module equipped with same, the portable private power generation apparatus being small in size, and capable of efficiently generating private power to charge a battery, and able to be linked and used with a variety of smart modules when customary power cannot be supplied in times of emergencies such as during military operations, in refugee camps, during disasters due to earthquakes and the like, emergency situations on ships, and outdoor activities. The present invention comprises: a rotatable fly-wheel member; first and second rotating members for rotating the fly-wheel member; first and second wires for rotating the first and second rotating members, respectively, by means of a pulling action; first and second spring members for carrying out winding actions of the respective first and second wires; and a power generation member for generating power from the rotation of the fly-wheel member. As such, a user can generate power continuously for an extended amount of time by repeating the action of pulling the wires with one or both hands.
