Abstract:
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for harnessing energy from moving ice, the system comprising a first part configured to move into a first direction under pressure caused by moving ice at least until an ice compression strength is reached and to subsequently move into a second direction, and a second part configured to transform kinetic energy of a cyclic motion of the first part into electric energy.
