| dc.description.abstract | This project presents an innovative approach to renewable energy generation by harnessing the
kinetic energy of artificial water waves. The system is designed using a 12V DC gear motor
powered by an SMPS to simulate piston-like motion every two seconds, creating consistent
water waves in an aquarium. These waves drive a second free-floating piston, which converts the
vertical wave motion into rotational energy via a free wheel mechanism. This rotational energy is
then transferred to a DC motor, which operates as a generator to produce electrical power. The
generated output is rectified using a bridge rectifier circuit composed of four 1N4007 diodes to
obtain a stable DC voltage. An indicator light is used to show the active power generation status,
and a digital voltmeter displays the generated voltage in real-time. This system demonstrates a
simple, low-cost method to convert mechanical energy from water waves into usable electrical
energy, highlighting its potential for small-scale renewable energy applications. | en_US |
