In this work, a mechanical power take-off system (PTO) is proposed to be installed in a small-
scale wave energy converter (WEC) to transfer wave power to electricity. Two pairs of one …

This paper studies a self-reactive ocean wave energy converter (WEC) where energy is
absorbed through the relative motion between a floating buoy on the ocean surface and a …

To improve the performance of a 'point absorber'type wave energy converter (WEC), an
additional submerged body can be deployed. The submerged body can be used to increase …

Abstract The Power-Take-Off (PTO) damping is a significant factor on energy harvesting
capacity of Wave Energy Converters (WEC), which cannot be determined through the …

As is the case with several other mechanical power takeoffs (PTOs), the mechanical-motion-
rectifier-based PTO consists of components, such as one-way clutches, gears, a ball screw …

This study introduces a new dynamical model for single-input single-output (SISO)
mechanical motion rectifiers (MMRs), utilized in various applications such as wave energy …

We analytically study the dynamic behavior of a linear mechanical energy harvester
nonlinearly coupled to a linear oscillating mode, driven by stochastic Gaussian forces. Using …

Widespread adoption of agricultural machinery for developing economy countries is
commonly regarded as a fundamental component of pro-poor growth and sustainable …

As worldwide energy consumption continues to increase, so does the demand for
renewable energy sources. The total available wave energy resource for the United States …

In this paper, innovative ocean wave power takeoff (PTO) system is presented to enhance
the electrical energy generation from oscillating wave motions. This PTO system, mainly …
