Abstract
A piezoelectric power generator that includes a piezoelectric multilayer body including a piezoelectric element that converts vibration into electricity and a substrate on which the piezoelectric multilayer body is mounted. The resonant frequency of the piezoelectric element coincides with the reference of the substrate so that the piezoelectric element efficiently vibrates. The addition of vibration portions in the substrate allows various resonant frequencies to be set.
