Abstract

This paper presents a novel permanent-magnet tubular linear generator (PMTLG) buoy system designed to convert the linear motion of ocean waves into electrical energy. The design incorporates no working seals and a saltwater air-gap bearing surface integration between the PMTLG buoy components. The internal generator design will be discussed, in addition to the system integration with the buoy structure. The simulation and hardware results of the generator are presented.
