To provide a small-sized power generator capable of further stably generating power with a simple mechanism.SOLUTION: A power generator 1 is used by being attached to a skin surface S. The power generator 1 comprises: a chimney stack part provided with a cylindrical chimney stack part 15 which has an open tip side and extends in a direction apart from the skin surface S; an air guide path 14 formed from through-holes communicated with the chimney stack part 15 on the skin surface S side; and a rotational electrostatic motor 13 disposed at the air guide path 14 or the chimney stack part, and rotationally driven by air flowing in the air guide path 14 or the chimney stack part. Then, power is generated when the rotational electrostatic motor 13 is rotationally driven by a flow velocity of air circulated with a chimney effect produced by a temperature difference between temperature of the skin surface S and outside temperature.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】簡易な機構でより安定して電力を発生可能な小型の発電機を提供する。【解決手段】発電機１は、皮膚面Ｓに取り付けられて使用される。発電機１は、皮膚面Ｓから離れる方向に延在し先端側が開口した筒状の中空部１５を有する煙突部と、皮膚面Ｓ側で中空部１５に連通する貫通穴からなる空気誘導路１４と、空気誘導路１４又は煙突部に配置されて空気誘導路１４又は煙突部を流れる空気で回転駆動される回転形静電モータ１３と、を備える。そして、皮膚面Ｓの温度と外気温度との温度差で生じる煙突効果で流通する空気の流速で、回転形静電モータ１３が回転駆動することで発電する。【選択図】図１
