PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric power generating apparatus that generates electric power using updraft produced in a cylinder.SOLUTION: An in-cylinder updraft power generator includes a vertical cylinder 1 installed upright with a surface thereof made of solar light heat absorbing material, an intake port 2 provided near to a bottom of the vertical cylinder 1, a rotary exhaust port 3 provided on an upper end portion, a windbreak wall 7 provided to surround the vertical cylinder 1 on the periphery, in the interior, an electric heater 4 mounted on a lower portion, an exhaust fan 5 mounted on an upper portion, and a power generating unit 8 disposed consecutively in vertical multiple stages therebetween. The power generating unit 8 is constituted by (a) a rotating blade 9 with a length equal to an end portion reaching position close to inner circumferential wall surface of the vertical cylinder 1, (b) a power generator 11 interconnected to a rotating shaft 10 via a reduction gear at a lower portion of the rotating blade 9, (c) a supporting member that fixes the power generator, and pivotally supports the rotating shaft of the rotating blade, (d) and an air stream throttling member 12 in a tapered cylindrical shape, disposed below the rotating blade 9, with a periphery of a lower portion thereof being sealable with the inner circumferential wall surface of the vertical cylinder 1, and an upper portion thereof being accessible to the end of the rotating blade 9. |
