An energy harvester (1) converts kinetic energy into electrical energy. The energy harvester includes: one or more walls (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) defining a chamber (2), the chamber (2) being provided with a plurality of impactors (10) free to move within the chamber so as to impact at least one of the walls when the chamber is subjected to movement, and a transducer (9, 11) configured to convert the impact of the impactors on one or more of the walls into electrical energy.
