The translator will move along with the buoy that moves with the ocean
wave. Since the magnets on the translator are also moving with it, the magnetic
field that passes through the motionless stator windings will change with time.
According to Faraday’s Law discussed in the previous section, this will induce
currents in the circuit. This is the mechanism that transforms the kinetic energy
of the ocean wave into electricity. A dynamic model of this energy conversion
based on di↵erential equations will be presented later in this section
