Enhancing Output Power of a Cantilever-Based Flapping Airflow Energy Harvester Using External Mechanical Interventions

This paper presents a flapping airflow energy harvester based on oscillations of a horizontal cantilever beam facing the direction of airflow. A wing is attached to the free end of a cantilever beam and a bluff body is placed in front of the wing from where vortex falls off, producing vortices under...
