The erect posture stopper 50K engages with the rotating plate 20, when the swing blade 30 is in the erect posture. Thereby, the erect posture stopper 50K maintains the swing blade 30 in the erect posture. The yield posture stopper 50H engages with the rotating plate 20, when the swing blade 30 is in the yield posture. Thereby, the yield posture stopper 50H maintains the swing blade 30 in the yield posture.

Next, the operation of the turbine mechanism 4A will be described.
Next, the operation of the turbine mechanism 4A will be described.
[0027]
When the turbine mechanism 4A is disposed in water, as shown in Fig. 2, a water flow in a predetermined direction flows toward the respective swing blades 30 disposed in pair.
Consequently, the flow direction of the water flow coincides with the vector VL1 in one of the pair of swing blades 30 (see Fig. 5). Since the water flow of the vector VL1 collides with the yield lift force generating face 30H, a lift force occurs to make the swing blade 30 in the yield posture, irrespective of whether the swing blade 30 is in the yield posture or the erect posture, so that the swing blade 30 becomes in the yield posture (see Figs. 2 and 3).

[0028]
In the other swing blade 30, the flow direction of the water flow coincides with the vector VL2 (see Fig. 6). Since the water flow of the vector VL2 collides with the erect lift force generating face 30K, a lift force occurs to make the swing blade 30 in the erect posture, irrespective of whether the swing blade 30 is in the yield posture or the erect posture, so that the swing blade 30 becomes in the erect posture (see Figs. 2 and 4).

[0029]
As described above, one of the pair of swing blades 30, which are disposed point-symmetrically with respect to the rotating shaft 10, becomes in the erect posture and the other becomes in the yield posture due to the collision with the water flow. The swing blade 30 in the erect posture converts the kinetic energy of the water flow into the rotational energy about the rotating shaft 10 by the collision with the water flow. On the other hand, the swing blade 30 in the yield posture, which is a posture along the water flow, has a low resistance to the water flow. Thus, the rotating plate 20 rotates about the rotating shaft 10 by the rotational energy produced by the swing blade 30 in the erect posture.

Thus, the rotating plate 20 rotates about the rotating shaft 10 by the rotational energy produced by the swing blade 30 in the erect posture.
[0030]
When reversing the direction of the water flow, as shown in Fig. 7, the swing blade 30 in the erect posture is changed to the yield posture because the water flow collides with the yield lift force generating face 30H, while the swing blade 30 in the yield posture is changed to the erect posture because the water flow collides with the erect lift force generating face 30K. Therefore, the rotating plate 20 rotates about the rotating shaft 10 by the rotational energy produced by the swing blade 30 in the erect posture.

[0031]
As described above, since the pair of swing blades 30, which are disposed point-symmetrically with respect to the rotating shaft 10, each have the yield lift force generating face 30H in one face and the erect lift force generating face 30K in the opposite face, even if the direction of the water flow is changed, such a state where one of the pair of swing blades 30 becomes in the erect posture and the other becomes in the yield posture can be maintained by the collision with the water flow. As a result, even in the case of changing the direction of the water flow, the kinetic energy of the water flow can be converted into the rotational energy about the rotating shaft 10. Also, in the turbine mechanism 4A, since the swing blade 30 is switched between the erect posture and the yield posture in accordance with the direction of the water flow, there is no need for providing a regulation member for regulating the postures of turbine blades, as described in Patent Literature 1. Thus, the turbine mechanism 4A has a simpler structure than a conventional mechanism. This facilitates ease of manufacture with low costs.

[0032]
Also, since the distance CLK (see Fig. 6) between the erect lift force generating face 30K and the mount surface 20M
decreases from the side of the tip portion 30S toward the side of the base portion 30B in a state where the swing blade 30 is in the yield posture, it is possible to obtain a larger lift force to the erect posture by the collision of the water flow flowing from the side of the tip portion 30S toward the side of the base portion 30B with the erect lift force generating face 30K of the swing blade 30 in the yield posture.

[0033]
Likewise, since the distance CLH (see Fig. 5) between the yield lift force generating face 30H and the mount surface 20M
increases from the side of the base portion 30B toward the side of the tip portion 30S in a state where the swing blade is in the yield posture, it is possible to obtain a larger lift force to the yield posture by the collision of the water 25 flow flowing from the side of the base portion 30B toward the side of the tip portion 30S with the yield lift force generating face 301-I of the swing blade 30 in the yield posture.

[0034]
When the swing blade 30 is in the yield posture, providing a space to pass the water flow between the swing blade 30 and the mount surface 20M makes the water flow between the swing blade 30 in the yield posture and the rotating plate 20 smooth, thus reducing a resistance occurring in the swing blade 30 in the yield posture. Therefore, the yield posture stopper 50H, as a yield posture engaging member, is preferably provided only in a part (for example, an edge or midpoint in a width direction) of the swing blade 30 in a width direction, instead of providing it across the width direction (a direction normal to the drawing in Fig. 3).

Moreover, the arrangement pitch of the swing blades 30 around the rotating shaft 10 is preferably uniform, and may be, for example, one-fourth of a circumference (a pitch angle of 90 ), one-sixth (a pitch angle of 60 ), or one-eighth (a pitch angle of 45 ) (see Fig. 8). In addition, it is more preferable that the arrangement pitch of the swing blades 30 be one-sixth (a pitch angle of 60 ) or one-eighth (a pitch angle of 45 ) because of the energy efficiency of the turbine mechanism 4A
when shifting from a stationary state to a rotational state (see Fig. 8). With this configuration, the rotational energy can be taken out of the kinetic energy of the water flow flowing in any direction with reliability.
