This article proposes an installation for converting vibration received from the airflow into electrical energy. A laboratory setup of a step converter with a regular structure has been designed. The research is presented on apparatuses with a regular structure of a single and two-phase flow, and the possibility of using plates as converters. The vibration frequency and the vibration amplitude of the plates are determined. The optimal values of the distances of the plates between themselves in the vertical and in the radial direction are determined. The mechanisms of interaction of vortex flows in the working zone are described, and equations for calculating vortices are presented. The laboratory and the calculated data of the studied parameters are shown.
