What is it about?
We report a novel design and optimization for a vortex-induced vibration energy harvester aims at addressing the limitations of existing approaches in output power scavenged from low-velocity flowing water. The small-scale harvester shows great potential for applying in wireless sensor networks.

Perspectives
Based on the theories of vortex-induced vibration and Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, an innovative small-scale water energy harvester with asymmetric arc-shaped beam was developed to scavenge low-velocity water energy. Benefiting from the beam’s arc-shaped structure, elasticity and asymmetry, the generator is able to scavenge energy from low-velocity flowing water. This novel small-scale generator gives the prospect of being able to power wireless sensors in remote locations.
