Description | ||
This science fair project was performed to investigate the relationship between wave cycles/amplitude and power generation output. | ||

1. For this science fair project, the independent variable is the height of the wave and the wave cycle period. The dependent variable is the voltage induced in the coils. This is determined by measuring the voltage using a digital voltmeter. The constants (control variables) are the strength of the magnet, the turns in the coil, the length of the metal plate, the depth of the water and the size of the raft. 2. The 5 meter long tank is filled with water and the wave generator is installed in the tank as shown in figure 1 below. By ..... |
