Description

  The present invention relates to a capacitor-equipped generator used as a power source for electric devices such as a radio, a flashlight, a radio, and a mobile phone.

  Conventionally, a dry battery has been mainly used as a power source of the above-described electric equipment.

According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, when an initial use state and an out-of-electricity state occur, when the manual handle is rotated, the electric power is generated by the interlocking rotation of the generator via the speed increasing gear mechanism. Has the effect of generating power and storing the generated power in an electric double layer capacitor. This is practical with a new configuration in which this stored power is used as a power source for electrical devices such as radios, flashlights, radios, and mobile phones. A high value capacitor-equipped generator can be provided.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the generator and the electric double layer capacitor are electrically connected to each other through the rectifier circuit using four diodes, the handwheel can be moved in either the left or right direction (clockwise rotation). Direction or counterclockwise direction), power can be generated and stored in the same manner as described above by simple rotation of the manual handle.
