How Can Electromagnetic Induction Harvest Energy From Ocean Waves?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Wave motion moves a magnet relative to a coil, inducing an electric current.
  • Buoys or submerged structures convert mechanical wave energy into electricity.
  • The changing magnetic field is created by the oscillating movement of the waves.
  • This renewable method could power sensors and coastal communities.
