Design and Fabrication of Wave-Powered Generator

Abstract

Abstract The present paper describes the concept of developing a wave-powered generator for converting wave energy of water to a constant direct current and storing the converted energy in small battery cells which are connected in series. The task in the present project work is to produce electricity in the most efficient manner by means of induction and to create a low weight model for the same. The fundamental basis of the design process is applied during the fabrication of this model. The generator works on the principle of Faraday induction using coils of wire and magnets. The idea behind this project is to make the students aware of the fact that how we can use an alternative source of energy rather than depending on the nonrenewable source of energies like coal, petroleum etc. In this way, we can reduce the burden on the conventional source of energy and be addressing the environmental challenges by providing an alternate source of energy which is renewable and cleaner in nature.
