The automatic electric power generator which utilized mechanical vibration has been investigated in order to supply the information devices with electric power. First, the theoretical analysis was carried out in order to obtain the design parameters under constraints such as the setting space and the source of vibration. Next, the experimental model was made on the basis of the analysis result, and the generated power was measured. As a result of measurement experiments, it was validated that the practical electric power generation was obtained by the experimental model.
