- A new type of wind-energy harvester is proposed and developed, inspired by the trembling aspen leaf. The device can be used to power wireless sensors and MEMS in remote and harsh environments, and is capable of producing self-sustained oscillations at extremely low wind speeds. The work is featured in numerous news websites (e.g. “Trembling Aspen leaves could save future Mars rovers”), https://warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/pressreleases/trembling_aspen_leaves/ and has an Altmetric `Attention’ score of 107, placing it in the in the top 1% of all research outputs by Altmetric (>12M). The work has led to a Daiwa Anglo-Japanese grant to advance the technology.
