<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power generating device converting kinetic energy of external force applied to a building structure into heat energy, outputting kinetic energy from the heat energy and surely and efficiently generating electric energy from the kinetic energy. <P>SOLUTION: The device is constructed so that the external force applied to the building structure 160 is converted into the kinetic energy through a kinetic converting means 10, the heat energy is generated from the kinetic energy by an energy converting means 10, heat transfer medium having absorbed the heat energy is introduced to a driving means 12 to output the kinetic energy and a generating means 13 is driven by the kinetic energy to generate the electric energy. The electric energy can be thus generated from natural external energy such as earthquake and used at the time of emergency, etc. without applying heat to the building structure 160 from the outside at all. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
