PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sphere circulation device which feeds a sphere into a levitation tube which makes the sphere afloat by energy obtained by dropping the sphere to a turning wheel, and obtains energy for driving other devices.SOLUTION: In a device, a receipt and delivery machine 9 for a sphere 1 is provided between a fall outlet of a turning wheel 2 and a levitation tube 33, and an approach chamber 24 is provided in front of the levitation tube 33 into which the sphere 1 is fed. Between the levitation tube and the approach chamber 24, a closing/opening valve 27 is provided. To feed the sphere 1, the closing/opening valve 27 is operated for closing a clearance between the approach chamber and the levitation tube 33, and hydraulic pressure in the levitation tube 33 is intercepted so that the sphere 1 is fed into the approach chamber 24. Then, the closing/opening valve 27 is closed so that the sphere 1 is made afloat in the levitation tube 33. In the device, this motion is continuously performed. |
