In other words, if the direction of the vortex changes in part, the wing tilt is automatically adjusted so as not to disturb the flow of the vortex.

Depending on the design conditions, it is a matter of course that the conventional Kaplan and Francis aberration schemes can be modified and adopted.

Or propeller blades used in the Bayern-developed sea-power generator, or in the UK's 300 kilowatt facility Seaflow or Seagen, a 1-megawatt plant in Stanford Rock, Ireland. Of course, it can be adopted by changing the design.

The blade body 910 is configured to temporarily store or immediately transmit power generated by the rotation of the blade 900.

It is also configured to have a motor and a power receiver capable of forcibly rotating initially to activate the movement of the blade 900.

Depending on the design conditions, the blade 900 and the blade body 910 may have a different shape, of course.

First, it is noted that the parts described with reference to FIG. 4 are not described or briefly mentioned.

The wall surfaces of the rising pipe piping 600 and the falling pipe piping 700 are configured such that the vortex derivative 100 is provided on the wall in a spiral shape in order to induce vortex flow therein.

Preferably, the rising pipe tubing 600 may be designed to have a smaller diameter upward to take advantage of the Venturi effect.

The center pipe 200 is dredged inside the rising pipe pipe 600 and a plurality of air supply pipes 300 are adopted at the end of the center pipe to promote the rising vortex flow, and by dredging by connecting the center pipe 200 horizontally Make sure you supply your own.

Hereinafter, the booster pumps 410 and 420 will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

One or more lift booster pumps 410 are configured to be connected to the lower end of the rising pipe piping 600 and the connection to the falling pipe piping 700.

Here, the pump that can be used for the boost booster pump 410 may be adopted in a variety of ways depending on the design conditions.

In addition, the lower pipe piping 700 may be provided with a lowering booster pump 420 inside one end connected to the mixture tank 500.

The descending booster pump 420 adjusts the degree of vortex of water discharged from the mixture tank 500, thereby controlling the rotational speed of the blade 900 and controlling the amount of power generated therein.

In summary, when the gas is injected inside the rising pipe pipe 600 and the vortex derivative 100 is provided on the pipe wall surface, the rising vortex is induced, and the vortex is raised by the booster pump 400.

The raised vortex is prepared to mix with additives in the mixture tank 500 to assist in future rotation of the blade 900.

The water collected and dropped in the mixture tank 500 is mixed with the additive and is formed as a vortex promoted by the vortex derivative 100.

This vortex causes rotation of the blade 900 having the movable blades, and the rotational force is produced to transmit power to the power generation power storage 810 through the power transmission and reception tube 800.

Here, the generated power storage 810 means an operation facility that is in charge of hydro power generation, it means where the generated power is stored.

As illustrated in FIG. 5, the generated power storage 810 may be connected to the controller 1000.

In this case, the control unit 1000 may be configured as a management terminal or a management server of the operation facility. However, the control unit 1000 is sufficient to be able to perform the function described in the present invention.

The configuration of the control unit 1000 will be described with reference to FIG. 6 of the accompanying drawings.

The controller 1000 connected to the generating power storage 810 measures the amount of power stored in the generating power storage 810 and controls the aeration means 600 and / or the lowering booster pump 420 according to the measured amount of generated power. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the controller 1000 may include a power generation measurement module 1001 and a control module 1002.

The generation amount measurement module 1001 performs a function of measuring the amount of generation stored in the generation power storage 810. At this time, the measurement of the amount of power generation can be made in connection with a server for monitoring the amount of power generation or through a separate measurement unit (measurement device, sensor, etc.).

That is, the generation amount can be divided into predetermined criteria (for example, 10%, 20%, 30% ... 100%, etc.), and the standard reached at the measurement point can be recognized as the generation amount and measured.

For example, when the standard is set in units of 10% as described above, if 50% is exceeded but 60% is not reached, it may be measured as 50%.

However, it may not necessarily be measured only in the above-described example units, and may be measured in units of 1% depending on design conditions.

The control module 1002 includes an aeration means control unit and a lowering booster pump control unit, through which the lowering booster pump and / or the aeration means can be controlled.

Here, controlling the aeration means 600 means controlling the period of aeration means, the amount of gas supplied for aeration or the intensity of aeration.

In addition, the control of the lower booster pump 420 is to adjust the pump strength of the booster pump 420, or to adjust the rotational speed of the fan when the booster pump is configured in the shape of a fan as shown in the accompanying drawings. it means.

Accordingly, by measuring the power generation amount of the power stored in the power generation power storage 810, by controlling the aeration means and / or the lowering booster pump in accordance with the measured power generation, there is an advantage that can be adjusted according to the power stored.

For example, if 98% of the power is generated and stored in the generated power storage, unless the power is discharged and used outside, continuous power generation is meaningless, such as blade 900 due to continuous power generation. Abnormalities may occur in the power generation means.

Therefore, by controlling the power generation operation in accordance with the amount of power generation, it is possible to prevent the power generation more than necessary, and further has a remarkable effect that can prevent the occurrence of abnormality of the device for generating power generation.

On the other hand, as a result of measuring the amount of power generation, when the amount of power generation stored in the power generation power storage 810 is very small (10%), it may be necessary to increase the speed of generation to perform a faster generation.

In this case, the controller 1000 may further promote the vortex of water by controlling the lower booster pump 420. In addition, the controller 1000 may further promote the vortex of water by controlling the aeration means 600.

The control unit 1000 is configured to automatically measure the amount of power generation, and to control the aeration means and / or the booster pump, but according to the design conditions are configured to display or notify the user of the measured amount of power generation, and An interface for control may be formed separately so that the user can directly control the aeration means and / or the down booster pump.

In addition, in the present specification, the present invention has been described as an embodiment of being used on a roof of a high-rise building, etc., but according to another exemplary embodiment, may be used in an ocean rich in water resources.

In the meantime, the above descriptions using only FIGS. 1 to 6 describe only the main matters of the present invention, and as long as various designs are possible within the technical scope of the present invention, the present invention may be applied to the configurations and functions of FIGS. It is obvious that it is not limited.
