Abstract: A probe-holder carriage includes a frame which can slide over a highly magnetically permeable support surface and at least one permanent magnet able to interact magnetically with, and couple the robot to, the surface. The permanent magnet is positioned so that one pole grazes the surface and faces the surface at a minimum distance from it. The frame defines a central housing which can support at least one probe.

Abstract: A robot including a frame with wheels moves over a highly magnetically permeable support surface and at least one permanent magnet able to interact magnetically with, and couple the robot to, the surface. The permanent magnet is positioned so that one pole grazes the surface and is free to oscillate so that the pole always faces the surface and is a minimum distance from it.

Abstract: A device for generating electric energy (1) from a renewable source, in particular from wave energy, comprising an oscillating device (2) that can transform the thrust of a natural agent on the first extremity of oscillating device (2) into kinetic energy; a motor unit, operatively connected to a second extremity of the oscillating device in such a way as to receive the kinetic energy transmitted by the oscillating device (2); and an electrical rotating machine operatively connected to the motor unit and suitable for producing electricity when it is set to rotating by the said motor unit.
