Abstract
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).
