A generator using compressed air is provided to efficiently generate a desired amount of electricity using small power which is required to produce compressed air first. A generator using compressed air includes a compressed-air producing unit(10), a cylindrical body(21), a power generating unit(20), a low pressure vacuum pump(30), an electricity generating unit(50), and a battery(80). The compressed-air producing unit includes a compressor(11) for compressing air, and a storage tank(12) for storing the air compressed by the compressor. The cylindrical body has at an upper position on one side thereof an inlet port(22) into which the compressed air stored in the storage tank is introduced, and has at a lower position on the other side an outlet port(23) through which the compressed air is discharged. The power generating unit is accommodated in the cylindrical body, and is provided with a rotating shaft(24) installed in the center of the cylindrical body, and radial blades(25) rotated by the compressed air which flows in to and out from the power generating unit. The low pressure vacuum pump is coupled to the outlet port, and draws in and discharges the compressed air, thus rotating the blades. The power generating unit is coupled to the rotating shaft, and generates electricity by the rotation of the rotating shaft. The battery is charged with electricity which is produced from the electricity generating unit.
