Figure Lengend Snippet: Scheme of the energy conversion apparatus for the Lab on sea unit: 1. spar buoy; 2. ballast; 3. piezoelectric patch transducers (PPTs); 4. band (a) deformable part, (b) rigid part; 5. external float; and, 6. rod grip. The vertical direction of the wave motion is indicated with x , while y is the vertical displacement of the spay buoy and γ is its angular oscillation.

Article Snippet: On the top of the rod, a cylindrical seat accommodating a displacement sensor (iNEMO inertial module included in ST SensorTile.box, STMicroelectronics, Geneva, Switzerland) was realized.
