Planned Improvements
 

From our tests we can conclude that our prototype can efficiently convert the vertical dock movement to electricity. However we believe that in the future, especially with a full scale concrete floating pile dock, our system would be much more efficient with a planetary gear system. Secondly we realized that although we already incorporated a capacitor, the voltages were still a little but unstable. From this we can conclude that it will be better to use another capacitor or a battery to smooth out and store the voltages.
