A control device that rotates the surface following the solar turbulence is provided to enable efficient solar light receiving power generation.
The collective terminal GP1 of the photovoltaic power generation panel GP is connected to a junction box GP2, a power conditioner GP3, a generally known power storage device B, and a power sale / wage watt-hour meter GP5 having a distribution board for housing H. As described above, the power storage device B can be used as an operation power source for the water storage tank mechanism 500 and the pumping pump mechanism 600 for emergency or regular use. It is also effectively used for power supply to some other electrical equipment.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the vertical flywheel 100 is positioned on both sides of the saddle type water turbine 2 and rotates with good balance. The vertical flywheel 100 is connected to the horizontal rotation drive shaft 3 via support slide arms 101 provided radially at equal rotation angle intervals, and the axis of the horizontal rotation drive shaft 3 is rotated by the rotation of the horizontal rotation drive shaft 3. Rotate to center.
The vertical flywheel 100 is made of SUS, has permanent magnets PM mounted on its outer periphery at predetermined intervals, and a plurality of electromagnets EM are arranged near the top of the wheel. The permanent magnet PM arriving at the top of the wheel is switched to provide magnetic attraction / repulsion action by synchronous interlocking. This control is performed to control operation as auxiliary rotational driving force during initial rotational driving. Electric power to the electromagnet EM is supplied from the power storage device B via the controller CO1.

Each mouse weight 400 is slidably attached to the support slide arm 101 of the vertical flywheel 100 and is connected to a pair of support arms 301 via a connecting rod 403 so as to cooperate with the roll guide mechanism 300. . The material of the sliding portion between the support slide arm 101 and the rod weight 400 is formed of a known low friction resistance material such as a lubricating metal, plastic, hard silicon, vinyl chloride or the like.

Each roll guide mechanism 300 has a guide roll 302 rotatably mounted on the distal ends of the pair of support arms 301 connected to a connecting rod 403, and the guide roll 302 can run on the ring rails 200-1 and 200-2. The rod weight 400 is guided along the rail, and the rod weight 400 is positioned within the circle of the flywheel 100 and outside the circle of the ring rails 200-1 and 200-2. I will guide you. Since the rod weight 400 rolls outside the ring rails 200-1 and 200-2, the ring rails 200-1 and 200-2 can be made compact, and the rotational resistance with the guide roll 302 can be remarkably reduced and rotated at high speed.

The vertical flywheel 100 has a position in which the position of the rotation center 100C is horizontally displaced from the circular center 200C of the vertical ring rails 200-1 and 200-2 toward the counter-rotating direction arrow C. The rotation of the wheel 100 causes the rod weight 400 to eccentrically rotate along the saddle-shaped ring rails 200-1 and 200-2 to sequentially apply a rotational moment to the shaft center 3C of the rotary drive shaft 3, and thus the saddle-type flywheel 100. Therefore, the power generation efficiency of the generator 1 connected to the rotary drive shaft 3 is improved.

A unit composed of these units is arranged in a single or a plurality of parallel arrangements, or a plurality of units arranged in series, and these are appropriately combined and arranged.

In addition to this arrangement, each unit may be arranged in multiple stages in series such as a slope or a multi-layer building. In other words, the next-stage water receiving pipe 2-1 or the water storage tank mechanism 500 is sequentially connected to the drain pipe 2-4 of each unit to increase the falling hydraulic power and generate power by using the energy without surplus. It is extremely effective to perform multistage hydropower generation.
