Linear faraday induction generator for the generation of electrical power from ocean wave kinetic energy and arrangements thereof

A buoy, comprising:

• a flotation device configured to float at surface of a body of water;
• a vibrational linear electric generator (VLEG) comprising a permanent magnet array and a field coil array configured to generate power from vibrational oscillations caused by waves using compressed repulsive magnetic fields focused by end magnetic field deflecting magnets;
• a power collection circuit, comprising a first battery, configured to collect and store energy generated by the VLEG;
• one or more electronic components comprising a light source powered by the vibrational linear electric generator;
• and
• a backup power storage device configured to store energy from the VLEG and to supply energy to the one or more electric components if power supplied by the VLEG and the first battery are inadequate to power the one or more electric components.

• a vibrational linear electric generator (VLEG) comprising a permanent magnet array and a field coil array configured to generate power from vibrational oscillations caused by waves using compressed repulsive magnetic fields focused by end magnetic field deflecting magnets, wherein magnets in the permanent magnet array are oriented such that like poles of the magnets are disposed adjacently to concentrate a magnetic field through said field coil array;
• a power collection circuit, comprising a first battery, configured to collect and store energy generated by the VLEG;
• one or more electronic components powered by the vibrational linear electric generator comprising a light source and one of a group consisting of a phototransistor and a phototransistor configured to prevent illumination of the light source during daytime hours;
• and
• a backup power storage device selected from a group consisting of a second battery and a super capacitor, said backup power storage device being configured to store energy from the VLEG and to supply energy to the one or more electric components if power supplied by the VLEG and the first battery are inadequate to power the one or more electric components.
