1. A pulsed power generator system, comprising:
a cantilever comprising a cantilever tip disposed on a lower surface of a first end and a permanent magnet mounted on an upper surface of the first end, wherein the cantilever is connected to an electric circuit at a second end;
an electromagnet generating a time varying periodic magnetic flux, wherein the time varying periodic magnetic flux interacts with the permanent magnet to generate a direction-changing mechanical force that drives oscillation in the cantilever;
a conducting pad, disposed adjacent to the bottom surface of the first end of the cantilever and configured so that the cantilever tip can contact the conducting pad,
wherein an oscillation of the cantilever causes the cantilever tip to periodically contact the conducting pad forming an electrical switch suitable for pulse generation through the electric circuit.
