Method and apparatus for converting the kinetic energy of a moving fluid stream into useful work by using a cascade of thin aero of hydro foils (2) positioned therein. The foils may be provided with at least two degrees of freedom and adjacent foils move out of phase. The foils are subjected to fluid induced oscillations known as flutter. Barriers (3, 43) may be positioned downstream, above, or at the sides of the apparatus for increasing efficiency. A system of fly wheels (17, 18) to increase inertia of the foils may be used with the hydrofoils. A cascade of aero of hydro foils may be mechanically oscillated. |
