Abstract

A micro electric generator is disclosed, which comprises: at least one electrically conductive fiber, and at least one piezoelectric ceramic layer covering on the surface of that at least one electrically conductive fiber. When a mechanical force is applied to deform the electrically conductive fiber covered with the piezoelectric ceramic layer, electric energy is generated. Also, a method of fabricating the said micro electric generator and an electric generating device are disclosed.
