1. A power generation comprising:
- a generation module, a generator, and a mounting device, the generation module comprising a rack and two speed-up gear sets each comprising a shaft having a pinion and a gear mounted to opposite ends thereof, the pinion of a first one of the shafts engaging the rack, the gear of the first shaft engaging the pinion of a second one of the shafts, the gear of the second shaft being in driving coupling with the generator, the mounting means comprises a belt and a buckle, the buckle comprising a frame and a central body, the frame having an inner edge forming teeth to serve as the rack, the central body supporting the generation module and the generator, the frame surrounding partly the central body with the rack engaging the pinion of the first shaft, the central body fixed to an end of the belt, and the frame being connected to the central body by the means of resilient members, whereby by attaching the power generation system to a mounting means fixed on a living creature, the rack is driven to move by a nature activity of the creature and the movement of the rack is transmitted to the gear sets to cause operation of the generator and thus generating electrical power.

Abstract
A human power generation system includes a generation module and a generator. The generation module includes two speed-up great sets and a rack. Each speed-up gear set includes a shaft to which a pinion and a gear are coaxially mounted. The pinion of the first gear set engages the rack. The gear of the first gear set engages the pinion of the second gear set. The gear of the second gear set is drivingly coupled to the generator. Thus, by attaching the system to a wearer by a mounting device, the systems continuously operates by the natural activity of the wearer and the rack drives, through the gear sets, the generator to generate electrical power.
