Faraday's law and seawater motion

摘要

Using Faraday's law, one can illustrate how an electromotive force generator, directly utilizing seawater motion, works. The conceptual device proposed is rather simple in its components and can be built in any high school or college laboratory. The description of the way in which the device generates an electromotive force can be instructive not only when illustrating Faraday's law, but also in introducing alternative energy concepts.
