DiscussionDiscussion The resonance frequency of the The resonance frequency of the
energy harvesting device can be energy harvesting device can be tailored to the shedding frequency of tailored to the shedding frequency of the Kármán vortex street in order to the Kármán vortex street in order to increase the output powerincrease the output power
For random and broadband ambient For random and broadband ambient flow sources, a structure with flow sources, a structure with multiple resonant frequencies may multiple resonant frequencies may also be considered, an array of the also be considered, an array of the device.device.
