Abstract

A WEC which includes a housing, a stator which is fixed to the housing, a rotor movable to the stator, and an oscillating mass connected to the rotor. The oscillating mass is adapted to oscillate as a result of tilting and horizontal movements of the housing. The oscillating mass is further adapted to rotate along with the rotor. A friction generated between the rotor and the stator upon relative movement between the stator and the rotor induces electricity. The WEC is demonstrated to be able to absorb water-wave energy from all directions and convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy through the R-TENG system under low to high frequency simulated water wave motion.
