Abstract:	This paper presents a design, modelling, fabrication and experimental test results of MEMS mechanical vibration energy scavenging devices for micro power generation. There is a growing need for such structures in the field of wireless sensor networks, where increasing the autonomy of the node is a crucial issue. In our case, the transduction is performed using the piezoelectric effect and the devices are entirely made using microfabrication techniques. This is a continuation of work already presented that proposes improved devices and use of new materials
