Energy Harvester Based on the Synchronization Phenomenon of a Circular Cylinder

A concept of generating power from a circular cylinder undergoing vortex-induced vibration (VIV) was investigated. Two lead zirconate titanate (PZT) beams which had high power density were installed on the cylinder. A theoretical model has been presented to describe the electromechanical coupling of...
