Abstract
A rotation device includes an output shaft, at least one rotatable rotary plate member arranged so that its rotation axis and the output shaft are coaxial, at least one weight member fixed to the rotary plate member, for biasing position of the center of gravity from the rotation axis of the rotary plate member, and at least one clutch mechanism arranged between the rotary plate member and the output shaft, for separating the rotary plate member and the output shaft with each other at a predetermined rotation angle. The clutch mechanism connects the rotary plate member with the output shaft when the center of gravity of the weight member descends, and separates the rotary plate member from the output shaft when the center of gravity of the weight member rises.
Claims10
A rotation device comprising:
- an output shaft supported in rotatable state so that an axis line of said output shaft is in parallel to a horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the gravity direction;
- at least one rotatable rotary plate member arranged so that rotation axis of said at least one rotary plate member and the axis line of said output shaft are coaxial;
- at least one weight member fixed respectively to said at least one rotary plate member, for biasing position of the center of gravity from the rotation axis of said at least one rotary plate member;
- and
- at least one clutch mechanism arranged between said at least one rotary plate member and said output shaft, and capable of separating said at least one rotary plate member and said output shaft with each other at a predetermined rotation angle,
- said at least one clutch mechanism being adapted, during rotation of said at least one rotary plate member, to connect said at least one rotary plate member with said output shaft when the center of gravity of said at least one weight member descends, and to separate said at least one rotary plate member from said output shaft when the center of gravity of said at least one weight member rises.
A power supply system comprising:
- a rotation device including an output shaft supported in rotatable state so that an axis line of said output shaft is in parallel to a horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the gravity direction, at least one rotatable rotary plate member arranged so that rotation axis of said at least one rotary plate member and the axis line of said output shaft are coaxial, at least one weight member fixed respectively to said at least one rotary plate member, for biasing position of the center of gravity from the rotation axis of said at least one rotary plate member, and at least one clutch mechanism arranged between said at least one rotary plate member and said output shaft and capable of separating said at least one rotary plate member and said output shaft with each other at a predetermined rotation angle, said at least one clutch mechanism being adapted, during rotation of said at least one rotary plate member, to connect said at least one rotary plate member with said output shaft when the center of gravity of said at least one weight member descends, and to separate said at least one rotary plate member from said output shaft when the center of gravity of said at least one weight member rises;
- a generator coupled to said output shaft of said rotation device;
- a solar light power generation device;
- and
- an electrical storage device for storing electrical power generated by said generator and said solar light power generation device,
- said power supply system being capable of providing an electrical power to said rotation device from said electrical storage device or a commercial power supply system, and also capable of providing an electrical power from said electrical storage device to outside.
