Abstract

Disclosed are: a power generation element that has a strong resistance against bending and impact, and that generates a large amount of power; and a power generation apparatus provided with the power generation element. The power generation element (1) is provided with a first magnetostriction rod (11a) comprised of a magnetostrictive material; a rigid rod (11b) that is comprised of a magnetic material having rigidity and shape necessary for applying a uniform compressive / tensile force to the first magnetostriction rod (11a), and that is arranged to be parallel with the first magnetostriction rod (11a); a first coil (12c) wound around the first magnetostriction rod (11a); and two interconnecting yokes (10a, 10b) arranged at both ends of the first magnetostriction rod (11a) and the rigid rod (11b) such that the two rods are interconnected. Power is generated, by having the first magnetostriction rod (11a) expanded or contracted with the vibration thereof in a direction perpendicular to the axis direction thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a power generating element utilizing vibration, and more particularly to a power generating element using a magnetostrictive material. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, the development of a technology for generating power from vibrations around the body has been actively promoted. As one of such technologies, a power generation method using a piezoelectric element and a power generation method using a change in magnetic flux density of a permanent magnet are known. [0003] In many methods of generating electricity using a piezoelectric element, power is generated by applying force to the piezoelectric element from the outside by a certain method to deform the piezoelectric element. In order to deform a piezoelectric element, there are, for example, a method of applying vibration to a piezoelectric element to deform it, a method of indirectly applying pressure such as wind pressure or sound pressure, a metho...
