Fonctionnement - Wave power station

Before testing the unit on water, check that the LED lights up when the model is tilted from left to right (the coil moves quickly across the magnets). If no light is produced, check that all contacts are good. To work, the waves have to be strong enough and correctly oriented. The lake side is ideal. In a bath or fountain you can create artificial waves by moving the water. Make sure that the U-profile is oriented in the direction of the width of the base to facilitate tilting. The coil should slide freely on the profile. If there is any resistance, sand the plastic coil. The elastic band allows a small part of the energy to be recovered from one direction to the other and reduces the losses due to shocks at both ends of the bar.
