| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Lately, clean and economical energy generation is desired. Then, the motor using photosynthetic microvibrion combined with the mechanical gear system was planned.This motor will be ultimate economic efficiency and cleanness. As the result, we succeeded in continuous rotation of the rotor consisted of four epoxy fins with a diameter of about 60 mm in the water vessel filled by volvox, which is a photosynthetic vibrion, through LED right control. Maximum rotating speed was 2 [rph] and torque was about 70 [pNm]. Planetary gear train was designed to use effectively this power generator by vorvox and the preproduction was made by 3D printer. Dead line came when activation torque of the preproduction was measured.
