An Engineering Approach for Harvesting Energy from Wind, Wave and Storm Full Text

The world is now facing energy scarcity and climate change. In that context, renewable energy is gradually replacing fossil fuels. However, this source of energy has not been fully exploited. Some natural disasters bring a lot of energy but are not exploited; in particular, storms are among the heavyweights. In this paper, I propose a device for harvesting energy from wind, waves and especially storms. One such device is called a Stormbuoy. If used in practice and deployed on a large scale, the Stormbuoy will harvest significant amounts of energy from wind, waves and storms. This not only solved the problem of energy scarcity but also mitigated the destruction of the storm with humans.
