The amphiphilic hydrogel particles are fabricated by encapsulating conducting polymer particles having anti-corrosion functionality with functional nanoparticles having antifouling functionality and then immobilizing the functional nanoparticles on a hydrogel matrix, whereby the conducting polymer particles contained in the functional nanoparticles are slowly and continuously released or the release rate thereof can be controlled so as to release the corresponding particles in a specific environment, ultimately maintaining long-term functionality. The conducting polymer particles contained in the amphiphilic functional nanoparticles can exhibit anti-corrosion functionality, thus maximizing anti-corrosion and antifouling effects through a single coating process.

More specifically, the helical turbine is rotatably provided in a frame so as to continuously generate a rotation force under unidirectional or multidirectional fluid flow and a step-up gear is configured to increase the rotational velocity of the helical turbine up to a level required for generating electricity. Additionally, an overload prevention generator is incorporated to generate electricity by using the rotational velocity transferred from the step-up gear thereby preventing an overload caused by a sudden increase in the rotational velocity of the turbine.
