<p>A sustained power generator (1) comprising a micro-fabricated suspended mass or a cantilever (10) and a piezoelectric material (20) in communication with the cantilever wherein a vibration of the cantilever causes stresses in the piezoelectric material, thus generating a current. And a method for providing a sustained power generator (1) comprising the steps of providing a silicon micro-fabricated cantilever means (10), integral with base (30) the cantilever means having a free end (60) and a secured end (70); placing a piezoelectric material in communication with the secured end of the cantilever; providing an external acceleration for vibrating the free end such that a current is generated in the material in response to the external acceleration vibrating the free end; and providing a storage device (50) with optional rectification means (40) in communication with the piezoeletric material for storing the generated current.</p> |
