    Abstract: An energy harvesting device and a method of using the energy harvesting device to generate an electrical charge are described. The energy harvesting device comprises a mass and at least two tethers, at least one of which comprises a piezoelectric material that is mechanically stressable upon deflection of the at least two tethers. Each of the tethers comprises a first end coupled to the mass and a second end coupled to a reference structure, and the tethers are arranged about the mass such that the mass is moveable within a straightline path relative to the reference. The movement of the mass causes the deflection of the tethers, resulting in the generation of an electric charge. The device is preferably operable at the microscale.

Each of the tethers comprises a first end (12) coupled to the mass (2) and a second end (14) copied to a reference structure (16), and the tethers are arranged about the mass such that the mass is moveable within a straight line path relative to the reference. The movement of the mass causes the deflection of the tethers, resulting in the generation of an electric charge. The device is preferably operable at the microscale.
