IPC: H02N2/18
Filed: 2017-11-23
Abstract: A structure may be subject to flow induced vibration due the random variable movement of a fluid, including air or a liquid around and about the structure causing a vortex. Vortices cause the device to oscillate. Linear electrical induction generators are fitted to the device and the vibration of the structure causes relative movement between a coil 4 and a magnet 3. A series of generators may be arranged in arrays in stacked arrays and may rotate about a central pivot Figure 6, 14, a wind vane Figure 6, 13 may orientate the structure. As the array rotates back and forth due to a variable direction windflow the linear generator oscillates and produces electricity. The magnet may be guided by rods Figure 1, 5 or may be located in a tube 10. Spring assisted dampers 8 may be used to cushion the magnet and to deflect it back at the end of the stroke. Electrical energy may be stored in a battery Figure 1, 9. The device may be located on land or out to sea, wave power may be used to move the device.
