To overcome the many problems related to anchoring and site placement, a buoy that does not have to be fixed by taut anchoring lines is the ideal choice.Thisallows greater flexibility in choosing a site of deployment.The final design takes advantage of relative displacement between two buoys.The two buoys include a modified torus shaped follower buoy as well as a long cylindrical shaped spar buoy.The spar and follower buoys have different inertias, thus creating relative displacement as they move with each other.Throughprototype testing, dry testing of the final design, and final testing in the wave tank, it was possible to determine that the buoy operates at a maximum efficiency of.It was found that the period and the amplitude have a direct correlation to the efficiency.iUNH MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Wave Energy Project TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT.ILIST OF FIGURES.IIIHOOSING A B UOY S YSTEM.C HOOSING A P OWER C ONVERSION M ETHOD.OVERVIEW OF FI

The Ocean Corpus project aims to collect the largest number of publications relating to oceanography and marine science in a single database. The corpus is also used for Natural Language Processing.
