Abstract
A power-generating module has a base, a power-generating unit that is placed in the base, a plunger that is placed in the base and that vertically reciprocates, and a drive section that interlocks with the reciprocation of the plunger and starts up the power-generating unit. The drive section is biased to a boost-up position where the plunger is boosted up. The drive section has at least two links that turn between the boost-up position and a press-in position where the power-generating unit is started up. Both ends of one of the links are turnably supported by the base. Both ends of another link are turnably supported by the plunger. The links turn in an interlocking manner by coupling to each other.
