Characterization of a Linear Generator for Sea Wave

Sea wave power may help to solve the problem of energy crisis of the world with pollution free environment. Low cost and efficient electric power generation is main challenge in this sector. In this research work a linear generator has been characterized to find optimum condition in the laboratory environment. A machine named simple harmonic oscillator has been used in our laboratory as alternate of the sea wave. The electric power of the linear generator has been increased with turn's number of the induction coil and frequency of the coil oscillation. In a series of magnets the arrangement of 2 cm gap between the magnets gives the maximum output for the bobbin length 3 cm that was interested. Repulsion arrangement of the magnets is relatively better. The ferromagnetic core increases the electric power. Considering all above arrangement it is expected that an efficient and low cost power plant may be developed by the linear generator.
