description

For the sea wave energy exploitation, the department of Energy of Palermo University is investigating a new approach based on the mechanical motion conversion from a linear motion into a unidirectional rotary motion. This mechanical output can be used to run alternators, producing electrical power with a very simplified energy conversion chain. First preliminary tests have been realized in laboratory using a small-scale prototype.
