Research on Valve-type Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamic Ocean Wave Energy Conversion System

The principle of liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic ocean wave energy conversion system(LMMHD OWEC) was presented and the differences between LMMHD OWEC and the other wave energy conversion systems were also analyzed.The main features of LMMHD OWEC were presented according the principle of LMMHD OWEC.Through the research on the structures and principles of existing ocean wave energy conversion systems,a new valve-type structure suitable for LMMHD OWEC was designed.
