Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a power generation apparatus that generates torque and a method of operating the power generation apparatus. According to an embodiment, the power generation apparatus includes: at least a pair of control moment gyroscopes generating torque in different directions; and a unidirectional driving module outputting torque generated in different directions by the at least a pair of control moment gyroscopes in a predetermined direction.
Claims2
A power generation apparatus comprising:
- a frame having a torque shaft;
- at least a pair of control moment gyroscopes installed in the frame and generating torque in different directions;
- and
- a unidirectional driving module connected to the torque shaft and changing and outputting torque generated in different directions by the control moment gyroscopes into predetermined one direction,
- wherein the control moment gyroscopes each include:
- a gyroscope body installed on the frame and rotating on a gimbal shaft extending in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the torque shaft;
- a rotor installed on the gyroscope body to rotate on a spin shaft extending in a direction crossing the gimbal shaft;
- and
- a spin motor rotating the rotor on the spin shaft.
