<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sleeper capable of generating power using vibration energy, having a simple structure, manufacturable at low cost, and capable of generating a large amount of power. <P>SOLUTION: This sleeper 1 includes a sleeper body 6 and cantilever parts 2 extending toward the other portion in a cantilevered manner. A power generating device 3 capable of generating a voltage according to the vibration in the sleeper is mounted on the cantilevered part 2, and the one end of the cantilevered part 2 is made free. Since the amplitude of the cantilevered part 2 during the vibration is increased, a vibration with a large amplitude is provided to the power generating device 3 to increase the amount of the power generation of the sleeper 1. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
