Apparatus and method for generating electrical energy from fluid flow comprising a conducting layer and an insulating layer for electrically insulating an electrolytic solution from the conducting layer. Pores extend through the conducting layer and the insulating exposing sections of the insulating layer within the pores. Exposed sections of the insulating layer within the pores carry a charge. A first electrode is connected with the conducting layer, while a second electrode is disposed to contact the electrolytic solution. A convertor is connected between the first and second electrodes. Fluid is flowed over the conducting layer and passed the pores to create a suction which draws charged species contained within the electrolytic solution into the pores, thereby producing a current. The convertor converts the current into electrical energy.
