To provide a technique capable of generating power by simply installing in the soil a power-generation device using microorganisms in the soil.SOLUTION: The power-generation device has a rod-shaped body part and operates by driving the body part into the soil as a stake. The power-generation device has a positive electrode arranged inside the body part and is capable of making the surface of the electrode in contact with air, a negative electrode arranged outside the positive electrode inside the body part, a first air-shielding layer arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a second air-shielding layer arranged outside the negative electrode inside the body part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】 土壌中の微生物を利用した発電装置において、土壌に簡易に設置して発電することができる技術を提供する。【解決手段】 発電装置は、棒状の本体部を有し、本体部を杭として土壌に打ち込むことによって動作し、本体部の内部に配置され、電極表面が空気と接触可能な正極と、本体部の内部において、正極の外側に配置される負極と、正極と負極との間に配置される第１の空気遮断層と、本体部の内部において、負極の外側に配置される第２の空気遮断層と、を備える。【選択図】 図１
