Ocean Wave Energy Harvesting Devices
Development of a mechanically sound buoy design. which generated 10W average power in Beaufort Sea State I. and showed potential for up to 20W in Sea State 4. Development of a wave energy harvesting buoy capable of generating 2W in Sea State I. and with proper mechanical alignment able to generate o...
