At this time, as the caterpillar movement unit 120 ascends in the ascending section 111 , the water pressure applied from the fluid tank 110 decreases, and the fluid flowing therein is discharged to the outside. That is, a water jet effect is generated due to a drop in water pressure.

The track member 121 is rotated.

In addition, as the buoyancy generating rotary member 123 floats upward from the liquid in the fluid tank 110 by buoyancy, the water pressure applied to the liquid is reduced, and the compressed air inside is gradually expanded by the decrease in water pressure to increase the buoyancy. will be raised

Specifically, the buoyancy generating rotary member 123 is coupled to the track chain 121c through the fixing bracket 121f, and when rotating along the caterpillar member 121, in the rising section 111 of the fluid tank 110 The fluid flowing inside is discharged to the outside through the expansion of the compressed air, and the buoyancy is reduced as the fluid is re-introduced into the inside in the descending section 113 . Through this, the buoyancy generating rotating member 123 continuously rotates the caterpillar member 121 .

To this end, the buoyancy generating rotating member 123 according to the present embodiment, the compressed air inlet valve 123a selectively connected to the compressed air supply unit 140, and the fluid according to the rotational position in the fluid tank (110) A fluid inlet hole 123b for selectively introducing and discharging is provided.

When the buoyancy generating rotary member 123 is positioned in the rising section 111 of the fluid tank 110 through rotation, the fluid inlet hole 123b is located at the lower side, and is located in the lowering section 113 of the fluid tank 110 . When the fluid inlet hole (123b) is located on the upper side. Due to this, in the buoyancy generating rotating member 123, the fluid inside is discharged to the outside according to the occurrence of a water jet effect in the ascending section 111, and the fluid inlet hole 123b located at the upper side in the descending section 113. ) through which the fluid flows into the interior.

And, when the fluid flows into the inside of the buoyancy generating rotary member 123 in the descending section 113, the fluid resistance of the buoyancy generating rotary member 123 is minimized during rotation.

In this way, the power generation performance can be improved.

An operation of the electric energy generator according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

First, when the fluid tank 110 fills the fluid in a state in which the endless orbital motion unit 120 is installed inside the fluid tank 110 , the buoyancy generating rotating member is located in the rising section 111 of the fluid tank 110 . Fluid does not flow into 123, and fluid flows into the buoyancy generating rotating member 123 located in the descending section 113, and buoyancy is generated in the buoyant generating rotating member 123 of the ascending section 111, so that the upper side while floating to rotate the caterpillar member 121. Then, as the first rotation shaft 121d of the caterpillar member 121 is rotated, the generator 130 connected thereto produces electrical energy.

And, as the buoyancy generating rotating member 123 located in the rising section 111 of the fluid tank 110 rises upward, the buoyancy generating rotating member 123 located in the descending section 113 is moved to the rising section 111. When the compressed air inlet valve 123a aligns with the compressed air supply line 143 while rotating while oscillating with the will do

Then, the buoyancy generating rotating member 123 is buoyant by the compressed air, and the caterpillar member 121 is continuously rotated while ascending to the upper side of the fluid tank 110 by the buoyancy force. That is, the generator 130 can be generated by using the buoyancy of the buoyancy generating rotating member 123 .

And, as the buoyancy generating rotary member 123 floats upwardly on the lower side of the ascending section 111, the water pressure transmitted from the fluid tank 110 is gradually reduced. The fluid flowing into the is discharged to the outside through the fluid inlet hole (123b). That is, as the buoyancy generating rotary member 123 rises by the buoyancy in the ascending section 111, the buoyancy gradually increases so that the rotational motion of the caterpillar movement unit 120 is continuously maintained.

On the other hand, in the buoyancy generating rotary member 123 rotating from the rising section 111 to the falling section 113 , the fluid inlet hole 123b faces upward so that the fluid of the fluid tank 110 flows into the inside. Then, the buoyancy of the buoyancy generating rotating member 123 is lost, and the fluid resistance applied to the buoyancy generating rotating member 123 in the descending section 113 is minimized, so that the orbital movement of the caterpillar movement unit 120 is made more smoothly and effectively.

In particular, since compressed air is supplied to the descending section 113 through the compressed air supply unit 140 to generate bubbles, the fluid density in the descending section 113 is reduced, thereby further reducing the effect on water pressure. . That is, the buoyancy force of the buoyancy generating rotary member 123 positioned in the rising section 111 and the gravity of the buoyancy generating rotary member 123 positioned in the descending section 113 are paired with each other to maximize the rotational force. Therefore, it is possible to increase the power production.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely an example, and those skilled in the art to which various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible. will understand
