A narrow generator plate (10) is immersed parallel to the direction of flow in a fluid stream (14) for generating Karman vortices. The generator plate (10) has a shedding section wherein an aperture (26) intersects side surfaces (22) of the generator plate (10) to form leading aperture edges (28) which serve as shedding corners (32). The aperture (26) further intersects a trailing edge (18) of the generator plate (10).

Abstract:
A narrow generator plate (10) is immersed parallel to the direction of flow of a fluid stream (14) for generating Karman vortices. In its various embodiments the generator plate (10) is provided with surface disruption (52) for generating boundary-layer turbulence in the fluid stream in order to eliminate the occurrence of a boundary-layer transition region which would otherwise occur for a range of fluid flow velocities of interest.

Abstract:
A narrow generator plate (10) is immersed parallel to the direction of flow of a fluid stream (14) for generating Karman vortices (54). In one embodiment the generator plate (10) has a shedding section wherein an aperture (26) intersects side surfaces (20) of the generator plate (10) at shedding corners (32). A further embodiment includes a generator member (36) mounted on a leading edge (16) of a generator plate (10) and oriented upstream into the fluid stream.

I am a fairly simple person that loves Cook Outs & Watching Sports as well as drinking with my family and friends. My dream is to own a club some day and also try to get the movie me & my brother wrote on the big screen or in video stores.
