Abstract	Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important due to their low environmental impact and limitless nature. This thesis explores the design of a 250 mW permanent magnet linear generator wave energy converter to power ocean sensors. While many wave energy converters exist, this is a unique application because the wave energy device is neither at the surface nor at the seafloor and is a low power application. The permanent magnet linear generator detailed in this thesis would enable the continuous operation of ocean mixing sensors with minimal maintenance and intervention.
