In order to realize the collection of micro or small vibration energy, a micro-power generator based on two piezoelectric Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) films is proposed. The piezoelectric generator consists of a double piezoelectric MFCs type vibrator and a displacement amplifying mechanism, which can achieve the output of high energy density. The design process of this kind of piezoelectric generator is presented. Based on LabVIEW platform and NI Data Acquisition (DAQ) card, the output voltage acquisition system of the generator is built, and the output voltage and power are collected and calculated. Experimental results show that the maximum output power is 6.2 mW under transient excitation. Under continuous excitation with a load resistance of 10 kΩ and an excitation frequency of 26 Hz, the maximum output of the generator is up to 11.9 mW. The research results lay a foundation for the application of the proposed micro-power piezoelectric generator.
