Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, an omnidirectional energy harvester device includes: a harvesting member including an electrode pad having a first electrode disposed on an upper surface of the electrode pad, and a friction pad spaced apart from the electrode pad and having a second electrode disposed on an upper surface of the friction pad; and a vortex-induced vibration column fixedly coupled to the harvesting member at a lower surface of the vortex-induced vibration column. The vortex-induced vibration column is configured to generate vibration by an external force at an upper portion of the vortex-induced vibration column, wherein the first electrode disposed on the electrode pad and the second electrode disposed on the friction pad are electrically connected.
