Three citizen students from the Secondary of Applied Technology in Al Ain, Tahnoun bin Mohammed Educational Complex, invented a device to convert the movement of sea waves into electrical energy, with the aim of producing clean energy, without affecting marine life, making it better than other devices with large parts.
A mechanical engineering teacher in secondary school, supervising the project, Muhammad Muawiya Badwan, told "Emirates Today" that the idea of the project, which was implemented by the students: Hamdan Salem Al-Alawi, Abdullah Saif Al-Nuaimi, and Hazza Salem Al-Niyadi, depends on exploiting the energy of sea waves to convert it into electrical energy. .
He added that the project consists of three parts, the first is a wave-generating device to simulate the movement of waves in the seas, the second is the conversion of wave energy into electric, and the third is a miniature city to light it and experiment with lighting on it.
Badwan pointed out that there are several systems that offer the service of converting wave energy into electricity, but the students designed a new system that does not require excessive maintenance, as it consists of a large number of energy conversion devices of small sizes, and then when a small part fails, it is easily replaced, in addition In addition, the students conducted a study on the best forms of water buoys in converting wave motion into electrical energy, which enhanced the quality of the project model.
He pointed out that the students took 100 hours of work to implement the project.
The students participated in the project in the Science, Technology and Innovation Festival, organized by the Ministry of Education, at the Festival Arena - Dubai.
