This report describes the development and testing of a Galloping Hydro Electric Energy Device (GHEED) which is intended to utilize a Dielectric Elastomer Generator (DEG). The mechanical side of the GHEED includes a shape morphing element, and has been designed to convert the kinetic energy of low head and/or turbulent flows into repeating, oscillating motion. The intent is to couple this motion...

In this study, a method for the bacterial disinfection of drinking water in storage systems based on electric potential generated from piezoelectric wind energy harvester is presented. First, an efficient galloping designed by adding curve- shaped attachments to bluff body harvester. The simulated output voltage validated performing different sets experiments open environment. Later, enhanced, ...
