In this work, we suggest the temperature-induced resistivity change at the martensitic transformation in the Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloy as a driving mechanism enabling periodic signal generation. We demonstrated its practical importance by a design of the prototype of a low-frequency autonomous generator. A prominent feature of this new generator is a control of its frequency by the external magnetic field.
