Abstract
Vibration Energy Harvesting has the potential to become a convenient, sustainable and localized power source for the billions of small electronic devices of the future. One of the most challenging areas within this field is the design of miniaturized generators for power harvesting from human motion. In this thesis, a new strategy, design and prototype are presented for vibration energy harvesting from human motion.
