Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a non-electrically-driven driving apparatus with a simple construction that necessitates no source of the electric energy, by application of reversible reaction of hydrogen occlusion alloy caused by change of ambient temperature. CONSTITUTION:A pressure deviation converting means 1 is set in a position governed by, for instance, atmospheric temperature. Here, if the atmospheric temperature is assumed to reciprocate between T1 and T2 between night time and broad daylight, in the pressure deviation converting means 1, temperature of a hydrogen occlusion alloy 11 reciprocates between T1 and T2 also. Thus, this action allows shrinkage of a bellow unit to rotate a shaft 16 through stem 12, rack 13, and pinion 15 and a spring 2 is wound up. Force accumulated in the spring 2 is released gradually from an output shaft 21 for developing driving force continuously.
