Device rocked by sea waves will generate electricity
The Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education informed that a device, which will use sea wave motion to generate electricity is being developed by scientists at Łódź University of Technology. Pendulum current generator could power the lights on marine buoys and fishing net signals.
The device will contain a set of pendulums set in motion by rocking waves. This in turn will drive the generator and produce electricity. The unit can be powered not only by the movement of waves, but also by other types of vibrations, for example by shocks on a train.
Head of research, Prof. Tomasz Kapitaniak from the Department of Dynamic Engineering, Łódź University of Technology admitted in an interview with PAP that the device would not generate enough energy to, for example, supply a town, but it could supply signal lights located places difficult to access, like on buoys or fishing nets at sea.
