Oscillating hydrofoil

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-019867

Similar to an airplane wing but in water; yaw control systems adjusts their angle relative to the water stream, creating lift and drag forces that cause device oscillation; mechanical energy from this oscillation feeds into a power conversion system.
