A motion conversion device is provided with a chain mechanism (), a steel ball holding tube () having a holding space () capable of holding a plurality of steel balls () in a vertical row, a steel ball insertion and holding mechanism () provided on a lower end of the steel ball holding tube (), a balancer mechanism () capable of raising the steel ball holding tube () using air pressure, and a device for controlling the supply of air pressure to the balancer mechanism () according to the movement of the chain mechanism (). A plurality of baskets () is attached to the chain () of the chain mechanism () at fixed intervals, the baskets () being capable of receiving and holding steel balls () spilling out of the upper end of the steel ball holding tube (). The baskets () containing steel balls () move downward in response to the movement of the chain mechanism (), and the steel balls () spill out at the lower end and roll to a position directly beneath the steel ball holding tube ().

Motion conversion device

An electrically driven industrial vehicle comprising a revolving body () attached to a undercarriage () so as to be able to turn horizontally; a power shovel device () for receiving a hydraulic drive force and operating, the power shovel device being mounted on the revolving body (); and a hydraulic drive force generating unit provided to the revolving body (), for generating hydraulic drive force for operating the power shovel device (). The hydraulic drive force generating unit has a hydraulic fluid tank () for storing hydraulic fluid; a hydraulic pump () for feeding the hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic fluid tank to the power shovel device (); an electric motor () for driving the hydraulic pump; and a lithium ion battery () for feeding electrical drive power to the electric motor.

Electrically driven industrial vehicle

A generating set formed so that a generatorconnected to a rotary shaftturning and supporting a conveyorby utilizing the power by which a gas supplied by a supply meansinto a bucketpositioned on a lower portion of the side of the conveyorwhich is turned upward in the interior of a toweris moved up with the bucketin a liquidstored in the interior of the toweras the gas receives the buoyancy of the liquid. In this generating set, the supply meansis formed so as to turn compressed air into a plurality of bubbles of a very small diameter, send out these bubbles into the liquidin the interior of the tower, and hold down to a low level the resistance occurring when the compressed air is sent out into the liquidin the interior of the tower. An electric power energy value obtained from the generatoris increased with respect to a value of the energy consumed by the supply means

Power generating system utilizing buoyancy

A conveyor () having a plurality of buckets () lined up in and fixed to an inner side of a frame () is supported so that the conveyor can be circulated in the shape of a loop and substantially horizontally in a substantially vertical plane via rotary shafts (). The frame () is supported so that the frame can be slidingly moved in the vertical direction around guide rods () stood up on a river bottom. Gas-containing floats () are fixed to the frame () to float the frame on the surface of the river flowing water. The river flowing water is made to flow into the buckets () lined up on the outer surface of the lower circulating portion () of the conveyor, and the conveyor () is thereby circulated. A generator () connected to one of the rotary shafts () supporting the conveyor () is thereby rotated.
