Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The paper is aimed at experimentally showing the possibility of energy production by water waves using a new mean of production of green energy which has been proposed recently. Rotations of a floating pendulum, constrained to move vertically, are studied experimentally in the wave flume of the Laboratory of Hydraulics of the Polytechnic University of Marche. After checking the robustness of the rotation for different values of the wave frequency and amplitude, a generator applied to the pendulum pivot is switched on, and it is shown that it is able to produce electric energy. This represents the experimental proof of the feasibility of the underlying idea. The extracted energy is still small, and further developments are required to optimize the system, likely involving control for rotation activation and sustain in irregular waves, but the goal of showing that it is possible to produce energy from sea waves by a pendulum is reached, and the way for new development is opened.
