Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a High Efficiency MEMS Micro-Vibrational Energy Harvester (?VEH) having a thick beam bimorph architecture. The disclosed architecture is capable of producing a voltage of sufficient magnitude such that the requirement to connect a plurality of harvesters in series to produce an adequate voltage magnitude is eliminated.
