Additional information
This paper represents novel work conducted on a little known phenomenon in engineering: stochastic resonance. The paper is the first to show that stochastic resonance can be harnessed to enhance dramatically the throughput of oscillatory energy from a source to a sink, particularly when the source is predominantly random. This has practical applications to energy harvesting from strongly random wind and sea-wave sources. A new collaboration with the University of Tokyo has been created because of this work on practical mechanisms to demonstrate it experimentally, and led to a Research Fellowship at the University of Tokyo in 2012 for Cartmell.
