Abstract
The ever-increasing limitation of fossil hydrocarbons combined with a growing awareness of the effects that non-renewable energy sources have had and continue to have on our planet, has in recent decades led to a rapid development of renewable energy sources, opening the doors to study and diffusion of new technologies capable of harvesting energy from the surrounding environment and converting it into electricity. Alongside the much better known wind and solar energy, there is a branch of renewable energy that is decidedly less widespread and developed, but with enormous potential: sea waves. In fact, these represent a potential continuous source of energy, much more predictable than wind and sun.
Numerous devices already exist, functioning or in the testing phase, but most of these exploit one, or at most two, of the degrees of freedom provided by wave motion
