![]() The proposed harvester comprises a host cantilever beam, a stopper, and a middle plate with one rotation degree of freedom. This paper presents a novel wind energy harvester utilizing galloping effect coupled with triboelectric-based energy conversion to convert the flow-induced structural vibration into electricity. The innovation presented in the study could help reduce electronic waste and find alternative energy sources. ![]() ![]() The study demonstrates NTU's dedication to reducing our impact on the environment, one of four grand challenges facing humanity that the University seeks to address through its NTU 2025 strategic plan. The NTU research team is also attempting to market its creation. The industry has expressed interest in the idea. "The device we developed also serves as a potential alternative to smaller lithium-ion batteries, as our wind harvester is self-sufficient and would only require occasional maintenance, and does not use heavy metals, which, if not disposed of properly, could cause environmental problems." Our research aims to tackle the lack of a small-scale energy harvester for more targeted functions, such as powering smaller sensors and electronic devices." Professor Yang Yaowen, a structural engineer from NTU's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), who led the project, said, "As a renewable and clean energy source, wind power generation has attracted extensive research attention. Wind power has attracted extensive research attention These are used to monitor the structural health of metropolitan constructions like skyscrapers and bridges, warning engineers of problems like instabilities or physical damage. The researchers claim that their creation has the potential to take the place of batteries in the powering of sensors for structural health monitoring and light-emitting diode (LED) lights.
