Ocean wave energy is a plentiful resource that is often underutilized because ocean waves have a low frequency, resulting in less focus on vibration-based energy harvesting from this source. This study introduces and examines a new type of energy harvesting system called an Ocean Wave Energy Harvester (OWEH), which uses a mechanical rectifier. The system can capture energy from both the rolling and heaving motions of a floater. To do so the governing electromechanical equations of motion for the system are developed and experimentally validated. The findings suggest that this energy harvesting system can be a sustainable way to generate energy and has the potential to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Further research and development in this area could lead to the widespread use of OWEH technology with mechanical systems.
