ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY POWER-GENERATION APPARATUS FOR CLEAN POWER GENERATION AND A METHOD OF GENERATING POWER USING THE DESCENT OF A WEIGHT

摘要

An environmentally-friendly power-generation apparatus for clean power generation and a method of generating power using the descent of a weight are disclosed. Said power-generation apparatus using the descent of a weight comprises a weight that descends from a predetermined height, a guide that determines the descent path of the weight, a lift connected to the end of the guide that restores the descended weight to said predetermined height, a pressed component that descends as it is pressed down by the descending weight and protrudes from the guide, and a power generator that generates power from the movement of the pressed component as it is descends under the force of the weight. Because the apparatus generates power from the downward force exerted by the weight descending a slope after having been raised to said predetermined height, without the use of fossil fuels such as coal or oil, or nuclear power, there is no danger of depletion of resources or environmental pollution. The weight can be raised to said predetermined height using naturally available energy sources such as solar, wind or tidal energy and power can thereby be ensured, regardless of time or place, by the descent of the weight, enabling stable and uniform generation of power in all climates.
