Abstract: An increasing demand for energy implies the development of alternative, complementary, and renewable solutions. The idea developed in the present article consists in the use of vortex-induced vibrations to harness energy from low currents. The convertor modulus presented here is composed of an elastically mounted, rigid cylinder on end-springs, undergoing flow-induced motion when exposed to transverse fluid-flow.
