Good vibes power tiny generator.

A tiny generator powered by natural vibrations could soon be helping 
keep heart pacemakers working.

Created by scientists at the University of Southampton, the generator 
has been developed to power devices where replacing batteries is very 
difficult.

The device is expected initially to be used to power wireless sensors on 
equipment in manufacturing plants.

The generator's creators say the generator is up to 10 times more 
efficient than similar devices.
