An Efficient Aeroelastic Flutter Energy Harvester - More Efficient Than A Wind Turbine!
grabcad
A new technology developed by Dylan Desrosiers under Ms. Jennifer Hardy's guidance at North Attleborough Middle School outperforms wind turbines. This device takes advantage of the force from "aeroelastic flutter" in a flexible, cantilevered aluminum beam with various aerodynamic shapes. Piezoelectric crystals on the beam generate electricity when flexed by the wind. Unlike wind turbines, this invention works efficiently in any wind environment and can be placed in urban locations or on buildings and cell towers. It's quieter and more efficient than wind turbines, with a current model generating 150 volts. Dylan is currently designing a fully 3D printable model and applying for a patent.
