Abstract
The present invention relates to an independent power generating method using water pressure and vapor, and a generating device thereof, which: sequentially circulate water by using a head drop of water and high-pressure vapor so as to continuously generate power, and generate power with a natural head drop caused by the gravity of water and, simultaneously, produce power with vapor; and naturally increase, condense, and reuse the vapor so as to hardly waste water resources such that power can be efficiently generated by efficiently rotating water wheels connected to an electric generator.

An independent power generating device using water pressure and vapor, comprising:
- a water tank (110) disposed at a predetermined height to have potential energy;
- a first water wheel (120) disposed at an exhaust side of the water tank(110) to vertically face the water tank (110) and to rotate by head drop of water, an electric generator (121) being coupled to a rotating shaft thereof;
- a heating boiler (130) disposed to communicate with a lower portion of the first water wheel (120) to generate vapor by heating inlet water;
- a vapor wheel (140) disposed to rotate by high-pressure vapor ejected by communicating with a vapor exhausting end of the heating boiler (130), an electric generator (141) being coupled to a rotating shaft thereof;
- a condensing tank (150) mounted at an upper side of the vapor wheel (140) to have a first side communicating with the vapor wheel (140) so as to condense vapor and to allow condensate water to flow toward an another side to exhaust it;
- and
- a second water wheel (160) disposed to downwardly communicate with an exhaust side of the condensing tank (150), to rotate by head drop of the condensate, the electric generator (121) being coupled to a rotating shaft, to downwardly communicate with the water tank (110).

An independent power generating method using water pressure and vapor, comprising:
- a first power generating operation in which, when water is filled in a water tank(110) and a predetermined amount of water is allowed to vertically downwardly flow, water pressure depending on potential energy of the flowing water is applied to a first water wheel (120) to rotate the first water wheel (120), and thus-generated toque is applied to an electric generator (121) connected with a rotating shaft of the first water wheel (120) to generate first power;
