Enhancing Sustainable Energy: Ocean Wave Energy Conversions via Magnetic Induction from Boat Vibrations

Ocean wave energy is an emerging renewable energy source with the potential to significantly contribute to global energy needs. Hence, the primary purpose of this study is to address the imminent energy crisis by exploring novel avenues for energy generation, specifically focusing on the utilization of vibrations stemming from ocean waves. It introduces a pioneering device, termed the “Vibration Harnessing Device,” engineered to capture and convert these vibrations into usable electrical energy efficiently. Its design is based on the principle of Electromagnetic Induction where the researchers used various magnets and spring configurations. The device’s optimal configuration—comprising 1mm and five magnets—was identified through meticulous experimentation and optimization processes, exhibiting superior energy generation capabilities compared to alternative setups. Results revealed that this optimized configuration could yield 1278.44 milliwatt-hours of electrical energy within 5 minutes and 2063.92 milliwatt-hours within 15 minutes, boasting a commendable charge capacity of 55.3%. The data underscores its potential as a dependable renewable energy technology, as evidenced by its successful demonstration of powering an LED light. The device will create an alternative and less expensive method of generating energy that will be used as a light source. Consequently, the vibration-harnessing device emerges as a promising solution for mitigating energy shortages.
