    An energy harvesting device combined with a giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) sensor is presented to analyze low frequency vibrating systems. An electromagnetic harvester based on magnetic levitation is proposed for the electric power generation. The device is composed of two fixed permanent magnets at both ends of a cylindrical frame, a levitating magnet acting as inertial mass and a pick-up coil to collect the induced electromotive force. At the resonance frequency (10 Hz) a maximum electrical power of 1.4 mW at 0.5 g is generated. Moreover, an amorphous wire was employed as sensor nucleus for the design of a linear accelerometer prototype. The sensor is based on the GMI effect where the impedance changes occur as a consequence of the variations of the effective magnetic field due to an oscillating magnetic element. As a result of the magnet’s periodic motion, an amplitude modulated signal (AM) was obtained, its amplitude being proportional to mechanical vibration amplitude (or acceleration). The sensor’s response was examined for a simple ferrite magnet under vibration and compared with that obtained for the vibrational energy harvester. As a result of the small amplitudes of vibration, a linear sensor response was obtained that could be employed in the design of low cost and simple accelerometers.
