Patent ID: 8368241

Claim:
A power generator comprising: a floating object arranged to catch wind to float and including a floating body arranged to catch the wind, a plurality of posture control strings connected to a plurality of positions of the floating body near an outer periphery of the floating body, and a posture control instrument to which at least a portion of the plurality of the posture control strings is connected; at least one first control string including a portion that includes a tip end connected to the posture control instrument; a first control string take-in device arranged to take the at least one first control string into a first base body; a forward/backward movement control device arranged to control respective forward/backward movements of the plurality of posture control strings; a first winding device around which a proximal end of the at least one first control string is wound, which rotates in one direction when the at least one first control string is reeled out, and which rotates in another direction to take up the at least one first control string; a second control string including a tip end connected to the posture control instrument; a second control string take-in device arranged to take the second control string into a second base body installed apart from the first base body; and a second winding device around which a proximal end of the second control string is wound, which rotates in one direction to generate electric power when the second control string is reeled out, and which rotates in another direction to take up the second control string; wherein the at least one control string or the posture control instrument that mounts a communication device is arranged to control at least front/rear inclination of the floating body, and reeling out and taking up operations of the second control string are carried out according to the front/rear inclination to generate electric power.
