Abstract:
A friction resistance generator comprising:a rotor rotating on the center of an axis thereof;a plurality of rollers arranged along a rotational raceway track of the rotor;a passive member facing the rotor in a radial direction of the rotor through the respective rollers; anda retainer holding the respective rollers arranged at intervals so that the rollers freely roll,wherein rolling axes of the respective rollers are inclined so as to form a prescribed first inclination angle with respect to a rotational axis of the rotor, and the first inclination angle is set to a range larger than 10.degree. and smaller than 20.degree., andthe rolling axes of the rollers are inclined to the identical direction so as to form a prescribed second inclination angle to a plane including the rotational axis of the rotor respectively ,and the second inclination angle is set to a range larger than 25.degree. and smaller than 90.degree..
