Energy-generating apparatus for utilizing the energy of a flowing medium

An energy-generating apparatus for utilizing energy of a flow medium, comprising:

• a support structure;
• at least one-waving element;
• at least two fastening elements comprising a first fastening element and at least one turbulizer;
• a drive and control unit;
• and
• an energy recovery and transfer unit,
• wherein the at least one waving element is connected to the at least two fastening elements, and the drive and control unit is connected to the at least two fastening elements,
• wherein the at least one waving element is connected to the at least one turbulizer element,
• wherein the turbulizer element is configured to generate vortices that run along the length of the waving element,
• the at least one waving element between the at least two fastening elements has a shape of a regular waveform of at most one full wave period, and
• the drive and control unit is configured to move the fastening elements and the waving element in the same phase to create regular wave motion of the waving element.
