Abstract
A system configured for producing electric power from sea waves. The system includes a buoyant body; an electric generator including an input shaft adapted to rotate with respect to the buoyant body; a first arm coupled to the electric generator; a second arm; and a pivot joint rotatably joining the second arm to the arm. The pivot joint is at a distance, along the first arm, from the input shaft. The first arm connects the second arm to the generator. The tandem arms form a double pendulum system powering an autonomous floating sea analysing station.
