Patent attributes
A power generation apparatus that will not exhaust carbon dioxide is provided where a strong rotating motion is created by the combination of solar heat energy, gravitational energy, and ocean current or tidal current energy. In the sea area having stream current such as ocean current and tidal current, the power generation apparatus is constructed by a weight mass provided with a rotation axis (shaft) on the top part thereof, a floating body provided with a bearing for fitting in the rotation axis where it moves up and down according to the swell on the ocean surface, a normal rotation conversion generator for converting the reverse motion produced on the rotation axis to a normal rotating motion by using a one-way clutch or a ratchet mechanism, and a mooring member for fastening the wire rope between the anchor and the connecting point of the floating body and weight mass.
