NOVELTY - The present invention relates to a battery exchange station control system and a method thereof. In the control method, a consumer first presses down a touch screen for proceeding with language selection and vehicle identification, then reading the card number of a user vehicle identification card, and entering a security code, whereby a facility body uses the screen and voices to guide the consumer to deposit the old battery at an entrance. Battery identity is first inspected to check whether it is consistent with the user vehicle identification card. Then, the battery status and parameters of the old battery are read out and the old battery module is moved to a charging module for charging. The central control module connects the user vehicle identification card, that is connected to one end thereof, to a remote database for money deduction according to the statues and parameters of the new and old batteries, followed by transmission of message to a battery information management module at one end, thereby allowing the consumer to pick up the new battery. After confirmation, the gate at the exit is closed and the purpose of fully automatic battery exchange can be realized.

The battery is charged repeatedly with a generator such as alternator interlocked with the battery. The electricity of the battery is sent to the motor for continuing turning of the rotary disk. The power transmission to outside, is performed with the other generator interlocked to the rotary disk.    USE - Centrifugal-force rotary disk generator installed in common house, factory, hospital, and electric vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - Since the centrifugal-force rotary disk generator uses only the electricity of battery, the generator is charged efficiently. Hence, the centrifugal-force rotary disk generator is operated for long time to generate electric power on any conditions, without using burn-out fuel such as petroleum, wind force and hydraulic power, and solar heat. The centrifugal-force rotary disk generator is repeatedly charged using the electricity of the battery. The motor is turned to rotate the centrifugal-force rotary disk by fixed interval, thus the stability of the battery is maintained and the power transmission to outside is attained. Since the centrifugal-force rotary disk is installed perpendicularly, even if the force of rotation by centrifugal force is inferior, the centrifugal-force rotary disk generator is installed easily and stably. Since the rotary disk generator produces electric power without using burn-out fuel, the rotary disk generator is used effectively and the usage cost of the rotary disk generator is reduced.

An expander (42) transmits motive power to compressor. A heat exchanger (30a) heats off gas distributed in oxidizing agent exhaust passage (12). The discharge direction of compressor is set opposite to upstream connection port (31a) of oxidizing agent supply path, and suction direction of expander is set opposite to downstream connection port (31d) of oxidizing agent exhaust passage of heat exchanger.
