Abstract
Amidst global concerns over escalating energy consumption and environmental pollution, wave energy has garnered substantial interest. However, its commercial viability has remained questionable. This research introduces an innovative wave energy conversion method employing electromagnetic induction, aiming to evaluate its potential to elevate wave energy into a prominent renewable source. Through quantitative simulation of a self-built prototype and factor analysis, the study identifies key factors influencing energy harvesting efficiency. The research unveils that the speed of the magnet has minimal influence on energy generation, reinforcing the consistency of the new device. Notably, rotational wave movements exhibit superior energy harvesting, providing insights for optimizing wave energy converters. The findings suggest a potential for consistent energy outputs, irrespective of wave strength, opening new avenues for the commercialization of efficient wave energy technology.
