Abstract

See full text

A vibration electric power generator includes an iron core having a coil wound therearound, a magnet member relatively moved with respect to the iron core by vibrations caused during running of a bicycle; and a nonmagnetic member fixed to the iron core and being in close contact with the magnet member. A plurality of magnets are stacked such that identical poles face each other. Switching is realized, by the vibrations caused during the running of the bicycle, between a state in which a first protrusion of the iron core is attracted and brought into contact with a north pole magnetism collecting and permeative plate and a second protrusion of the iron core is attracted and brought into contact with a south pole magnetism collecting and permeative plate and a state in which the second protrusion is attracted and brought into contact with a north pole magnetism collecting and permeative plate and the first protrusion is attracted and brought into contact with a south pole magnetism collecting and permeative plate.
