Abstract
A power generation input device includes a rotational magnet body that has a magnet, an N-pole member placed near the N pole of the magnet, and an S-pole member placed near the S-pole of the magnet, the rotational magnet body being supported so as to be rotatable around a rotational center line; a magnetic member; coils; and a manipulation body. The N-pole member has an N-pole end, which extends in a direction more away from the rotational center line than the end of the magnet. The S-pole member has an S-pole end, which extends in a direction more away from the rotational center line than the end of the magnet. The N-pole end and S-pole end are oppositely disposed in a plane parallel to the rotational center line with a gap intervening between them, the gap extending in a direction inclined with respect to the rotational center line.
