The buoy is preferably spherical in shape. One or more windings are mounted to the buoy parallel to its surfaces with each winding having a pair of ends. A magnetized device which, is preferably a ball, is located within the buoy for rolling back and forth therein. A device is connected to the ends of the windings for rectifying current flow therefrom. With this arrangement the buoy can be moored in a body of water, and, when there is water motion, the flux lines of the magnetized roller device cut the one or more windings so as to cause electrical current flow to be provided through the rectifying device.Field of SearchTide and wave motors | |
