In recent years, small-micro power generation was appointed as one of the proper solutions
to tackle the increasing energy consumption, while opening the way to distributed energy …

The flow field of an open grooved two-disc system was studied. The system includes a
rotating finite disc and a stationary finite disc. The rotating disc has radial grooves. The …

In this work, three different-diameter energy harvesters driven by turbulent air flow and
rainwater are designed. Experiments are conducted first on the air-driven harvesters to gain …

The flow induced by rotating discs has attracted some of the greatest minds in fluid dynamics
like von Kármán and Batchelor, and still is a vigorously active research area. In comparison …

Globally, the most popular upper-limb prostheses are powered by the human body. For body-
powered (BP) upper-limb prostheses, control is provided by changing the tension of …

Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is attractive as an energy harvesting and self‐powered
sensing technology. The working frequency and surface charge density are the key factors …

Tesla expander is a bladeless turbine suited to low power range applications. In this article,
a comparison between the performance prediction, as well as the assessment of the main …

The Tesla turbine is an original expander working on the principle of torque transmission by
wall shear stress. The principle–demonstrated for air expanders at lab scale-has attractive …

Tesla-type turbine devices are turbine devices which convert fluid motion into the rotating
motion of a rotor, but without the need of any blades. This is possible due to the interaction of …

Tesla turbine and its applications in power generation and fluid flow were demonstrated by
Nicholas Tesla in 1913. However, its real-world implementations were limited by the …
