Abstract: To propose a new power generator using the movement of a linear magnetic body and to further improve a conventionally-proposed power generator. A configuration is provided including a tubular frame, a freely-moving magnetic body group that is arranged at the inner side of the tubular frame and that is obtained by integrating two or more magnetic bodies while homopolar bodies are opposed to each other, a coil provided on the tubular frame to have an interval to the outer periphery of the freely-moving magnetic body group and that is configured to alternately have a reversed winding direction, and an output line for outputting electric power from the coil.

Abstract: A thermoelectric generator is provided that can perform thermoelectric generation efficiently. This generator includes: a first heat medium chamber into which a first heat medium flows and out of which the first heat medium flows; a first chamber wall which defines the first heat medium chamber; a second heat medium chamber into which a second heat medium flows and out of which the second heat medium flows; a second chamber wall which defines the second heat medium chamber; and thermoelectric generation layers. The two second heat medium chambers are within the first heat medium chamber. Both the second heat medium chambers are separated from each other and are arranged parallel to each other. The first chamber wall and the second chamber wall are not in contact with each other, and the temperature of the first heat medium and the temperature of the second heat medium are different from each other.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a combustion device of high combustion efficiency in which additional charging of combustion material containing solids is also possible, and an electric power-generating device using same. [Solution] The combustion method that burns combustion material inside a combustion device comprises: a process of charging the combustion material in the combustion chamber of the combustion device; a process of igniting and burning said combustion material; a process of supplying air or combustion-aiding gas (called “air, etc.” below) to the flame resulting from the combustion of said combustion material from outside of the flame; a process of secondary combustion of the combustion material by said air, etc.; and a process of smoke exhaustion; and in particular, comprises a process of additionally charging combustion material that at least contains solids into said combustion chamber during combustion of the combustion material.

Abstract: Provided is a thermoelectric power generating apparatus that can generate power by thermoelectric conversion by efficiently utilizing a temperature difference produced in a thermal energy source. The apparatus 1 includes a high-temperature flow path 11, 12 through which a high-temperature heat transfer medium 2H flows, a low-temperature flow path 21, 22 through which a low-temperature heat transfer medium 2L flows, and a power generating layer 30-1, 30-2, 30-3 that generates power from a temperature difference. The high and low temperature flow paths 11, 12 and 21, 22, are each formed in a plurality of layers and alternately layered with each other with their centers in common. The power generating layer 30-1, 30-2, 30-3 is disposed between the high and low temperature flow paths 11, 12 and 21, 22 that are next to each other.

Abstract: A device for allowing efficient drying and a method thereof are established by increasing the opportunity and area to bring a drying object into contact with air and a method for producing dry fermented feed and dry fermented manure at low costs by using the fermentation heat is proposed. The drying object is floated while shifting and stirring the drying object in the drying vessel, and air is supplied from below, and the drying object is transported by an air current repeatedly from a lower part to an upper part of the drying vessel to increase the opportunity and area to bring the drying object into contact with dry air evenly and significantly improve shortening of time spent for drying.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for the producing feeds/fertilizers containing died and fermented animal and plant residues. The apparatus includes a fermentation tank, an unobstructed circulation duct connected to the fermentation tank and a blower directly connected to the circulation duct wherein blower supplies air for advancing the residues up the circulation duct.

Abstract: In organic waste treatment, initial investment and running costs are suppressed, and inexpensive and good-quality dried and fermented feeds and fertilizers are manufactured from animal and plant residues. The animal and plant residues having been reserved/accumulated in a fermentation tank and generated fermentation heat is emitted/sprayed with air into a space in the fermentation tank and repeatedly circulated within the apparatus so that an evapotranspiration action is efficiently performed, oxygen required for fermentation is uniformly supplied so as to keep a favorable fermentation environment, and an apparatus for producing good-quality dried and fermented feeds and fertilizers is provided.
