An energy harvesting device is described that is configured to generate electricity from a moving fluid. The energy harvesting device comprises, in one embodiment, an oscillator element and an energy converter that converts the vibration of the oscillator element into direct current (DC). The oscillator elements can be in the form of an array in which exposes to the air flow a plurality of the oscillator elements. In one embodiment, an exemplary oscillator element comprises a blunt-body portion and a flexible structure each being configured so that the combination can generate electrical energy in response to low wind velocity (e.g., at or less than about 3 m/s). |
