CONSTITUTION:A solar light power station or a nuclear power station 3 is installed on the surface of the moon 2. A satellite 4 as a relay base can be relayed to a receiving base 5 on the ground. An ultraviolet laser 6 is used between the moon 2 and the satellite 4, and an infrared laser 7 is used between the satellite 4 and the ground base 5. That is, the ultraviolet laser 6 is converted into the infrared laser 7 by the satellite 4, and the infrared laser 7 is transmitted to the ground base 5. In the ground base 5, the infrared laser 7 is converted into a power by a photoelectric converter made of P/1/N, and the power is transmitted to necessary places. Thus, an energy from the solar light power station or the nuclear power station 3 installed on the surface of the moon 2 can be utilized on the ground.

2. Description of the Related Art Electric power equipment as an electric power source has changed from hydroelectric power generation to thermal power generation. The spread of thermal power generation enables stable electric power supply, but also causes global warming and oil shortage. is what happened. Therefore, attention is paid to nuclear power generation, and construction of nuclear power generation facilities is in progress worldwide.
Disadvantages of nuclear power generation are environmental pollution and adverse effects on the human body when an accident occurs. These shortcomings are the reason for opposition to the construction of nuclear power generation facilities, as they also lead to the destruction of humanity.

Since the demand for electric power increases year by year, there is an urgent need to develop a safe and stable electric power supply facility. In response to such a request, the idea of a photovoltaic power generation satellite is drawing attention. This solar power generation satellite converts sunlight into electric power and transmits it to the ground by a microwave.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
However, the amount of power transmission is small, the number of satellites becomes huge, and there is a problem in countermeasures against falling satellites to the ground. Therefore, although the idea is interesting, the possibility of practical application is small. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional idea and to provide a power generation device based on the new idea.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is to make a power generation facility using sunlight or nuclear power on the lunar surface and to utilize an energy conversion material having a graded structure. Introduce the concept.

Specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus for converting the energy generated from an energy source such as a lunar solar power station or a lunar nuclear power station into an ultraviolet laser, and an infrared laser which receives the ultraviolet laser. Provided is a power generation device including a space station for conversion and a ground light receiving base for converting an infrared laser into electric power.

[0007]

The energy produced on the lunar surface is sent to the space station by an ultraviolet laser, which converts the ultraviolet laser into an infrared laser, sends the infrared laser to the ground, and transmits it to the required places. The use of the infrared laser has no adverse effect on living things on the ground, has a high light collection rate, and has high light transmission efficiency.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A basic system 1 (apparatus) used in the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. A solar power plant or a nuclear power plant 3 will be installed on the surface of the moon 2. The satellite 4 as a space base can be relayed to the light receiving base 5 on the ground. Between the moon 2 and the space relay station 4, the ultraviolet laser 6 (wavelength number 10 to 3
00 nm) and an infrared laser 7 (wavelength number 700 to 1000 hundreds nm) between the space relay station 4 and the ground station 5.
To use.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sunlight or nuclear power plant 3 on the lunar surface 2 photoelectrically converts sunlight or heat and radiation 9 from a solar light source or a nuclear reactor 8 by using energy conversion materials 10 and 11 having an inclined structure. Alternatively, nuclear heat and thermoelectric conversion are performed to generate electric power. The thermoelectric element 11 is, for example, 2000
The heat of K is used for 10 with the heat pipe 12 and the fins 13.
The temperature is dropped to 00K, a thermal gradient is created, and electric power is generated. The electric power 15 is converted by the laser transmitter 14 into the ultraviolet laser 6 in the ultraviolet range and transmitted to the satellite 4.

From satellite 4 ultraviolet laser to infrared laser 7
Then, the infrared laser 7 is transmitted to the ground base 5. At the ground base 5, for example, the infrared laser 7 is converted into electric power 17 by the photoelectric conversion element 16 composed of P / 1 / N,
Transmit power to required places.

[Effect] Since nuclear fuel such as uranium can be obtained on the moon surface, fuel supply from the ground is unnecessary. In addition, since nuclear power generation on the moon does not require radiation shielding in principle, the power generation equipment can be made light and compact. The use of the gradient structure technology enables highly efficient direct conversion from nuclear power to electricity, and since it does not have a rotating mechanism, it enables stable unmanned operation. The ultraviolet laser and the infrared laser used in the present invention have a small loss and a small diffusion, and thus have a high light receiving rate and have no adverse effect on living things. When an obstacle such as a flying object is detected, the ultraviolet laser and the infrared laser can be immediately shut off, so that the operation for safety is easy. The total power transmission efficiency is as high as about 40% when the conversion rate to the ultraviolet laser is 50% and the conversion rate from the infrared laser to the direct current is 95%.
