Outline of Final Research Achievements

It has been a subject of wind power generation to secure sufficient wind velocity now. This research aims at development of the oscillating type power generator using a light breeze. It is a galloping phenomenon which is used for power generation. By setting flat plate in air flow, it is a phenomenon which changes the energy of a flow into vibration, and causes a big vibration. We decided to generate electricity by electromagnetic induction using vibration generated in this system. In this research, the increase of velocity of an air flow was tried using by diffuser and the position where flat plate is suitable for power generation is clarified. Moreover, it became clear by visualization of the flow that whirlpools give a big effect to generating of vibration.
