A scalable concept for micropower generation using flow-induced self-excited oscillations

D. St. Clair, A. Bibo, V. R. Sennakesavababu, M. F. Daqaq, and G. Li Inspired by music-playing harmonicas that create tones via oscillations of reeds when subjected to air blow, this paper entails a concept for microwind power generation using flow-induced self-excited oscillations of a piezoelectric beam embedded within a cavity. Specifically, when the volumetric fl ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 96, 144103 (2010)] published Thu Apr 8, 2010.
