Abstract: It is desirable to provide an aerial vehicle such as a drone for maintenance and management of overhead power lines that is capable of flying for a long period of time without landing by receiving a supply of electric energy from overhead power lines or towers. A magnetic field power generation unit is attached to an aerial vehicle which generates energy using a magnetic field generated by overhead power lines, and the generated energy is used as a power source of the aerial vehicle, by which the aerial vehicle can continue flying for a long period of time. Additionally, by providing a power supply port on a tower supporting overhead power lines, the aerial vehicle can continue flying by charging a battery without landing. Further, by straddling or hanging from overhead power lines during flight, power consumption of the battery can be reduced, and long-term flight can be enabled.

Abstract: In order to obtain a composite glass plate which shields infrared light and/or ultraviolet light, two glass substrates on which transparent conductive layers are formed respectively are disposed with the transparent conductive layers thereof facing each other. Infrared light is shielded and electric power is generated by using one glass substrate as a light incident side electrode, disposing a silicon dioxide particle layer thereon, and filling a colorless electrolyte between the two glass substrates. Further, ultraviolet light is also shielded by disposing a titanium dioxide layer on the other glass substrate. This composite glass plate is used as a window glass plate to shield only infrared light and/or ultraviolet light and transmit only visible light.

Abstract: A solar cell is configured by: arranging two glass substrates, each of which is provided with a transparent conductive layer, so that the transparent conductive layers face each other; disposing a titanium dioxide layer on one glass substrate; disposing silicon dioxide particles on the other glass substrate; and filling the space between the two glass substrates with an electrolyte. The glass substrate on which light does not enter may alternatively be a metal plate. A sensitizing dye such as a ruthenium complex may be absorbed onto the titanium dioxide layer or the silicon dioxide layer. Since the titanium dioxide layer generates electric power by means of ultraviolet light incident thereon and the silicon dioxide layer generates electric power by means of visible light and infrared light incident thereon, the generation efficiency of the solar cell is increased.
