Abstract
Systems and methods for use in capturing energy from natural resources. In one form, the systems and methods capture energy from natural resources, such as movement of fluid in a body of water, and convert it into electrical energy.
Claims6
A system, comprising:
- a surface;
- a plurality of piezoelectric transducers embedded within the surface;
- and
- a paddle device configured to rotate from the impact force of a fluid wave breaking at the surface, wherein the paddle device includes a plurality of paddles that each strike at least one of the plurality of piezoelectric transducers as the paddle device rotates, and wherein the plurality of piezoelectric transducers convert an impact force of the paddles striking into electrical energy.
