Abstract

This paper proposes an electromagnetic energy harvester for generating electric power from cross wind. The working principle of the device is based on galloping instability and utilizes permanent magnets and coils for transforming mechanical motion to electricity. A prototype device is tested in a wind tunnel. The device is found to provide a continuous average electrical power from a wind speed of 2 m/s.
