PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To drastically mitigate the physical and mental pain of a patient by eliminating the necessity of a re-operation for battery replacement that is inevitable in the case of conventional in-vivo embedded equipment. SOLUTION: In the power source unit, a structural body having a structure generating a magnetic field in an in-vivo blood flow generating part and an electrode structure installed to generally orthogonally intersect the structure and the direction of blood flow, and performing so-called MHD power generation, is formed as the power source of the structure buried in a living body. Therefore, the need for a re-operation for battery replacement that is inevitable in the case of conventional in-vivo embedded equipment is eliminated and the physical and mental burden of the patient can be mitigated drastically.
