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 gear module;
- a gear shaft protruded from the gear module;
- a plurality of unidirectional driving modules, each of which is connected to the gear module,
- wherein the gear module acquires unidirectional torque having different phases from the plurality of unidirectional driving modules, adds up the unidirectional torque having different phases, and outputs resultant torque through the gear shaft;
- a plurality of control moment gyroscopes, each of which is connected to a respective unidirectional driving module of the plurality of unidirectional driving modules and generates torque in different directions;
- a plurality of frames, each of which has a torque shaft and surrounds a respective control moment gyroscopes of the plurality of control moment gyroscopes,
- wherein each unidirectional driving module of the a plurality of unidirectional driving modules is connected to a respective torque shaft of a respective frame of the plurality of frames and changes and output torque generated in different directions by the respective control moment gyroscope into a predetermined one direction,
- wherein the respective control moment gyroscope includes:
- a gyroscope body installed on the respective frame and rotating on a gimbal shaft extending in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the respective 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.
