Abstract
An energy converter for converting kinetic energy from a body of liquid by transverse galloping includes a support, an elongate galloping body extending between a first end and a second end and being of a suitable cross-section for transverse galloping, a substantially horizontal guide arranged outside the body of liquid for guiding the first end of the galloping body, one or more elastic means substantially horizontally arranged and connected between the galloping body and the support, and a generator including a static generator component and a dynamic generator component, and wherein the galloping body is substantially vertically suspended such that the second end of the body extends into the body of liquid, and the dynamic generator component is operationally connected to the galloping body. Further disclosed are energy conversion systems including a plurality of energy converters and methods for energy conversion.
