Abstract. The ongoing demands of using mechanical motion and converting it to electrical power motivated designers to find new sustainable solutions for power generation. In the current article, different techniques of clean power generation are reviewed and discussed. The reviewed techniques use mechanical vibration to produce energy. The techniques using piezoelectric and mechanical design concepts are discussed and compared. The article sheds light on the importance of these techniques and concludes with the advantages and disadvantages of each applied technique.
