1. A heat generator using a Carbon Nano Tube (CNT) composite material comprising:
an outer electrode part;
an inner electrode part which faces the outer electrode part and is arranged to be spaced apart from the outer electrode part at a predetermined distance;
a connection part connecting the outer electrode part with the inner electrode part; and
a bracket part disposed in the outer electrode part and the inner electrode part including the connection part and shielding the outer electrode part, the inner electrode part and the connection part so that a surface of the connection part do not face directly the outer electrode part and the inner electrode part,
wherein the outer electrode part and the inner electrode part include electrodes having polarities different from each other, and include a heat-generating area, which is heat-generated by a current flowing through a CNT composite material disposed between the outer electrode part and the inner electrode part.
