Description
The experiment performed and outlined in this poster explores the process of harnessing wave energy. Wave energy has high power output but is underutilized. In comparison to hydroelectric energy, tidal power requires less maintenance and human effort. The experiment that I conducted involved building a device that could measure voltage from the interaction between a magnet and copper coil.
