Electric power generating method

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To perform electric power generation utilizing space under water in such a way of actuating electric power generation with use of water flow that runs into a chamber which has been installed for installing a power generator under water. CONSTITUTION: A chamber 2 which conducts through an air inlet pipe 3 to outer air is installed under water, a power generator 6 is provided in the chamber 2, at the same time as a water intake pipe 4 equipped with a water intake port 5 at the upper end near water level, and a drain mechanism 10 are connected to the chamber 2. Thus, a power generator 6 is driven by water flow that runs along the water intake pipe 4. Since water in the chamber 2 can be drained through the drain mechanism 10, electric power generation is available utilizing space under water. This drain means 10 is constituted by a pump 13 in whose cylinder 11 a piston 12 reciprocates, and a driver 14 to give reciprocation to the piston 12. COPYRIGHT: (C)1982,JPO&Japio
