... results suggest that the selected site is very suitable for tidal stream energy harvesting however, some morphological changes should be anticipated in sedimentary deposits located close the proposed turbine array, which may have implications on benthic ecology of the area. INTRODUCTION Marine...

... Abstract A nonlinear energy harvester coupled to a smooth and discontinuous oscillator (SD oscillator) is proposed in this paper. This SD oscillator exhibits nonlinear dynamic performance by a pair of inclined linear elastic springs. The effects of its parameters on nonlinear response...

...-scale generator capable of extracting up to one watt of power from the flow in ocean currents, streams and pipes. In order to accomplish this goal, an energy-harvesting eel has been constructed from piezoelectric materials. The energy-harvesting eel is designed to extract energy from the wake of a bluff...
