Abstract

A converter for producing useable energy from fluid motion of a fluid medium. The converter includes a support structure, at least one movable element immersed in the fluid medium and supported externally on the support structure such that the movable element can move relatively to the structure in response to the fluid motion by vortex induced motion, galloping or combination thereof, and at least one power device supported on the support structure and coupled to the movable element. The power device converts motion of the movable element to useable energy.
