  A Novel and Efficient Transmission System for Harnessing Hydrokinetic Power from Ocean Currents

  By Sheeja Janardhanan, Vidya Chandran, Gijo George Netticadan, Ajay S Kumar, Anand Rajeev, Ashwin T

  Abstract: This paper presents the design principles of a novel power transmission system for an indigenous device known as a “Hydro Vortex Power Generator” that harnesses the power of vortices from low-velocity streams of water. The flow-induced motions of an elastically mounted cylinder that is free to oscillate in the crossflow direction are converted to electricity by the power generator. To convert the oscillations with non-uniform amplitude and frequency to uniform …
