  The present invention relates to a gravity power generation system of a water tank circulation system that generates electric power by a rotational force generated by a movable water tank circulating through a vertical circulation system.

  Conventionally, a hydroelectric power generation system 1000 as shown in FIG. 7 has been used as power generation using water. In the hydroelectric power generation system 1000, the water stored in the dam 1001 is guided to the water storage facility 1020 through the water conduit 1010, the turbine 1110 is rotated using the water pressure of the water flowing down through the water pressure pipe 1030, and the generator 1120 is rotated. To generate electricity.

  The hydroelectric power generation system 1000 generally requires a large-scale facility / equipment, and can supply a large amount of power using the pressure of running water. The environmental destruction is also a problem.

  For this reason, various power generators using smaller hydropower have been devised. For example, in Patent Document 1, a water storage tank and a water discharge pit are provided in the vicinity of a river or the like, and water in the water storage tank is discharged from a water discharge pipe provided at the bottom of the water discharge pit to the downstream of the river or the like. Power is generated by the turbine installed in The invention of Patent Document 1 can also supply water to a turbine located at a position higher than the water surface of the water tank using the principle of siphon.

  In addition, Patent Document 2 provides a water tank having an introduction inner pipe that communicates with water outside the floating body through an introduction port in a floating body such as a ship floating on water, and has an upper end opening of the introduction inner pipe and a water line. According to the positional relationship, a submersion type power generation device that rotationally drives a hydro turbine installed inside the introduction inner pipe or the like is provided. According to the present invention, electric power can be obtained at low cost by applying to a moored or anchored ship or a safety buoy floating on the sea.

  However, although the power generation devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 can be installed at a relatively low cost, the power generation amount is small and suitable for private use. Not suitable for large-scale power generation.

It rotates to generate electricity.

  Next, operation | movement of the gravity power generation system 1 of the water tank circulation system which concerns on this invention is demonstrated using FIG. 6, FIG.

  In the gravity power generation system 1 of the water tank circulation system, the water stored in the dam 1001 is guided to the water storage facility 1020 through the water conduit 1010 (see FIG. 7), and the water tank 210 through the water pressure pipe 1030 and the water supply pipe 212. Water is stored.

  In order to operate the gravity power generation system 1, as shown in FIG. 6, water is supplied from the water supply tank 210 to the movable water storage tank 20 through a water supply pipe 214 installed at the upper right of the water storage tank circulation chamber 101. Since the upper cover 32 (see FIG. 4) of the movable drainage 30 is fitted in the plurality of holes 26, 26,... Formed in the bottom plate 24D of the movable water storage tank 20 as shown in FIG.
