ABSTRACT:
A generating apparatus for charging the battery of an automobile or the like is disclosed. A charging generator has an input shaft on which is mounted a driven pulley which is belt-driven by the drive pulley of an automobile engine. An adjustable speed change mechanism in the form of a planetary cone reduction gear is housed inside the driven pulley. The reduction gear transmits drive force from the driven pulley to the input shaft of the charging generator. A reduction ratio adjustment mechanism automatically decreases the ratio of the rotational speed of the input shaft to the rotational speed of the driven pulley as the rotational speed of the driven pulley increases so as to maintain the rotational speed of the input shaft substantially constant. In a preferred embodiment, the reduction ratio adjustment mechanism comprises a centrifugal governor.
