Wave Energy Eletric Generator

This project reports on how to generate electricity from ocean wave by using permanent magnet linear generator. The objectives of this project are to design and build a small scale linear generator powered by ocean wave energy that able to generate electricity. It is not easy to harness wave energy and convert it into electricity in large amounts. So, the studies for this project include finding information and knowledge related to the topic besides developing skill through enquiry and literature review. In linear generator, electrical power is generated simply by forced relative movement of linear generator to its armature. The linear generator will oscillates with the wave up and down to cut electromagnetic flux inside the armature. The cuts of magnetic flux will result as electricity. To become a successful project, several things need to be reviewed like literature review on linear generator, design and development of the generator, experiment of prototype before gaining result and correct data. As the result, this project has been successfully developed to generate electricity.
