Abstract :
Once the non-renewable energy such as petroleum, coal, gas and nuclear have been used, it cannot be restored. Many countries in the world are heavily dependent on the non-renewable energy and polluting sources to generate electricity. This would cause the greenhouse gas emissions and would have adverse effects on the country due to the climate changes. Generally, 75% of earth is covered by the ocean and for that reason; converting the surface wave energy into electricity essentially is a form of renewable energy available on the earth. Thus, this paper describes the design and development of green electricity generation system using surface wave power for small-scale applications. The generation system is presented by the handy floating box that consists of neodymium iron boron permanent magnets, 1,000 turns of solenoid wires and voltage multiplier system. As oceans waves moves along the floating device, the solenoid rocks back and forth the permanent magnet and hence the relative motion produces electrical power. From the experimental works, it gives a significant result and shows a positive indicator on the effort to harnessing this clean energy.
