For this work, a summary of different energy harvester with a comprehensive literature survey with their different types is presented with traditional classification. Anew classification approach must be taken in consideration by a novel harvester presented here, where all previous harvester harvest energy in one {u2013} dimensional and the presented novel design provide facility to harvest in two- dimension. A survey of potential power sources is performed; general steady state analysis of MPG is performed with general model presentation to estimate the output power, voltage and resonance frequency. Summary of key of Design with needed parameter is given. A novel VBMPG model is proposed with detailed design parameter based on both load requirements and available input mechanical vibrations. Validation of analytical model represented with simulation analysis by finite element analysis by ANSYS and confirmed by fabricated model tested
