Description

POWER GENERATOR USING ANIMALS

Technical Field

[1] The present invention relates to a power generator using animals, and in particular to a power generator using animals capable of generating electric power using animals, so that the power generated thereby is supplied to a house and a building.

Background Art

[2] As a method for generating electric power using a generator, there are waterpower, wind power, firepower, nuclear power, etc. There are many problems for obtaining resources for operating generator.

[3] When a generator is performed using firepower, the countries that generates power based on an imported petroleum should import an expensive petroleum, and in the case that the generator is operated using nuclear power, there are many problems for processing wastes of radioactivity, so that it is impossible to construct a nuclear power plant. In the case that the electric power is generated using waterpower, it is impossible to stably obtain a certain amount of water. A wind power plant is constructed in a certain place based on an alternative method. In this case, there is a limit for obtaining a desired amount of electric power energy for the use at both house and building.

[4] Namely, it is getting worse and worse for obtaining a certain level of power needed for the industry by using a nuclear power, wind power and waterpower.

[5] There are some methods under developments for developing a certain resource for generating energy. However, any methods better than the petroleum are not developed yet.

[6] Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop a certain energy that might be used for a long time in the house and building without destroying the environment. Disclosure of Invention

Technical Solution

[7] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a power generator using animals capable of generating an electric power at a low cost needed for house and building in such a manner that a generator is operated using a certain animal which has a strong power such as cow, horse, elephant, etc.

[8] It is another object of the present invention to provide a power generator using animals capable of generating an electric power used in house and building using a certain animal who has a strong power such as cow or horse without destroying en- vironment like our ancestor uses animals for fanning garden and rice field.

[9] To achieve the above objects, there is provided a power generator using animals such as cow, horse, elephant, etc. that has a strong power and is controllable by a human is connected with an end of a connection bar of a rotary shaft, and the rotary shaft is connected with a speed increasing gear, and the speed increasing gear is connected in such a manner that it drives the generator, and the electricity is charged into a battery by the generator, and a certain amount of electric power is supplied to an island lighthouse, or a remote mountain village or a remote house to which an electric power is not supplied, using the charged battery.

Description of Drawings

[10] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[11] Figure 1 is a view illustrating a construction that a generator is operated using one animal according to the present invention;

[12] Figure 2 is a view illustrating a construction that a generator larger than the generator of Figure 1 is operated using one or more animals according to the present invention; and

[13] Figure 3 is a view illustrating a construction that a generator larger than the generator of Figure 2 is operated using one or more animals according to the present invention.

Best Mode

[14] Figure 1 is a view illustrating a construction that a generator is operated using one animal according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a view illustrating a ωnstruction that a generator larger than the generator of Figure 1 is operated using one or more animals according to the present invention, and Figure 3 is a view illustrating a construction that a generator larger than the generator of Figure 2 is operated using one or more animals according to the present invention.

[15] As shown in Figures 1 through 3, a certain animal 1 having a strong power such as cow, horse or elephant controllable by a human is connected with an end of a connection bar of a rotary shaft 4. A speed increasing gear 2 is connected in such a manner that it generates a generator 3. The power is charged into a battery by the generator 3. Therefore, a certain amount of electricity is generated and supplied to a certain remote house that does not have electricity such as a lighthouse of island, etc.

[16] Figure 1 is a view illustrating a ωnstruction that a generator 3 is operated using one animal. The generator 3 is operated in a remote mountain village or a lighthouse to which it is impossible to connect the power supply, for thereby charging a battery by operating the generator 3, so that a desired power is obtained.

[17] Figure 2 is a view illustrating a ωnstruction that a generator is operated by a plurality of animals (row, horse, elephant, etc.). In this embodiment of the present invention, a speed increasing gear is further increased for operating a generator larger than the generator of Figure 1 for thereby generating a larger amount of electric power.

[18] Figure 3 is a view illustrating a ωnstruction that a generator 3 is operated in such a manner that a rotary shaft 4 is rotated by inputting an animal into each floor in such a manner that a structure has more than one story. Therefore, it is possible to generate electric lower more than in the generator 3 of Figure 2.

[19] As shown therein, an animal 1 controllable by a human such as ωw, horse, elephant, etc. is ωnnected with an end of a ωnnection bar of the rotary shaft 4. Thereafter, the animal 1 walks around the generator 3, and the rotary shaft 4 is rotated, and the rotation speed of the speed increasing gear 2 is rotated and is sped up. When the generator 3 ωnnected with the speed increasing gear 2 is rotated, and the electric power is generated by the generator 3. Therefore, a certain amount of electric power is supplied using the charged battery to a remote mountain house to which electric power is not supplied.

[20] In the present invention, when a generator is operated using a certain animal having a strong power such as ωw, horse, elephant, etc., an expensive energy such as petroleum, etc. may be alternated. It is possible to supply electric power at a lower ro st, so that it may be used as alternative energy instead of petroleum needed for a heating operation. The gas is not used for a gas range. An electric heating wire is need for cooling foods, so that the import of energy is decreased.

Industrial Applicability

[21] As described above, it is possible to decrease the import of energy such as petroleum, gas, etc. without destroying environment, and it is possible to obtain electric power needed for house and building.

[22] In the present invention, the generator is operated using an animal having a strong power such as row, horse, elephant, etc., so that it is possible to alternate expensive petroleum. The gas is not used for the gas range. It is possible to cook foods using an electric wire, so that the import of energy is decreased. It is possible to achieve a constant electric power supply needed for house and building without destroying environment.

[23] As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described examples are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be ωnstrued broadly within its spirit and sωpe as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within the meets and bounds of the claims, or equivalences of such meets and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
