Wave energy is extracted in Buoy devices by:
Using a rotary generator
Using its floating part which generate electricity
Using an oscillating water column
Using a linear generator

Expert Solution

Step 1

Intoduction -

Wave Energy is a non-polluting and renewable form of energy that is produced by the natural transmission of wind energy over the seas, which is produced by the impacts of the sun's solar energy.

The buoys are immersed more than a metre beneath the surface of the water. A cylinder travels around over a piston-like device within the buoy as it floats with the rising and falling of the waters. This motion powers a generator on the ocean below, which generates energy and sends it to the land through an underwater cable.
