The Ferris-wheel shell and the internal rotator are designed with a phase difference to heighten the swing amplitude, while the introduction of magnetic repulsion augments the motion frequency. The device has demonstrated excellent performance in low-frequency conditions, from laboratory to ocean wave tests.

In oceanic conditions, the FWS-TEHG effectively harvests energy from water waves by exhibiting an output frequency approximately four to five times higher than that of the primary frequency of ocean waves, thus enabling it to power electrical devices such as temperature–humidity meters efficiently.

The results indicate that increasing concentrations of demethylated lignin nanoparticles in the UF adhesive, there is not only a reduction in formaldehyde emissions from MDF composites but also a significant decrease in thickness swelling. The highest reduction in formaldehyde emission is observed in the MDF composite prepared with UF resin containing 7% lignin nanoparticles (UF-7NL), with an emission of 2.9 mg/100 g, marking a substantial decrease of 74% compared to emission of 11.2 mg/100 g from neat resin. Importantly, this reduction does not compromise physical and mechanical properties of the MDF; they remain comparable to boards bonded with unmodified UF.
