VIVACE -- Vortex Induced Vibrations for Aquatic Clean Energy

VIVACE is designed to harness power from even slow-moving rivers and ocean currents.VIVACE consists of a system of cylinders positioned horizontally and perpendicular to the water flow. As water flows past, the vortices push and pull the cylinders up and down. The mechanical energy in the vibrations is then converted into electricity by a generator.But because the parts in VIVACE are designed to harness the hydrokinetic energy, the technology is not destructive.
