Currently, Sindhuja-I can\u00a0produce 100 watts of energy. It will be scaled up to produce one megawatt of energy in the next three years. The Sindhuja-I system consists of a floating buoy, a spar and an electrical module. The buoy moves up and down as the waves oscillate up and down. There is a hole at the centre of this buoy that will allow the spar to pass through it. The spar is fixed to the seafloor to ensure that the waves don\u2019t move it. But when the buoy moves and the spar doesn\u2019t, the waves produce a relative motion between both. This relative motion is used by an electric generator to produce power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
