Abstract
This invention provides an electricity generation device capable of generating electricity using kinetic energy generated by spontaneous behavior of an animal. The device includes a mechano-electric conversion mechanism that converts a displacement of a body part where the animal spontaneously moves (for example, a mouth) into an electric energy. For example, the mechano-electric conversion mechanism can have an arrangement for converting the displacement of the body part into rotation by a combination of a rack and a gear and rotating the rotor of a dynamo or an alternator.
