The present invention relates to a power generation apparatus for generating electricity by using power of an air blower of an air conditioner. The technical gist of the present invention is to enable a power generator to reproduce electric energy in an interlocking driving method and to supply a power source to a desired destination, without simply consuming a part of the power source generated during an air blowing operation of the air conditioner. Lost power is used as an energy source by reapplying the lost power to self-operation. An energy waste reduction effect and a resource reuse fundamentally excluding environmental contamination, which are the recent subject of national policy, are induced. In particular, as compared with the related art, costs reduction and productivity are improved by minimizing existing power usage of additional devices used during the operation of the air conditioner (used for electric components, for example, a lamp of an air filter, a sterilizing lamp, a freeze protection heater, a humidifier driving valve, or the like). In addition, when a driving shaft of a driving motor is connected to a rotational shaft of the air blower, a fluid coupling is used, wherein the fluid coupling prevents excessive shock with respect to a fluid flow resistance during an initial driving due to characteristics of the fluid coupling. When the fluid gradually rotates, a slow acceleration induces high speed propulsion according to a centrifugal rotation. It is possible to prevent an excessive load of the driving shaft, to achieve driving stability and shock reduction of the rotational shaft, and to improve overall mechanical performance of a rotating system. |
