Zusammenfassung:A wave energy converter, configured to float in water, comprising: a first body assembly, comprising a first body (30), configured to float in water and a sub-body (120) rigidly connected to the first body (30) by an assembly arm (122), the sub-body (120) being configured to float in water; and a second body (34), configured to float in water; the first body assembly and the second body being connected to one another via a first arm (36), the first arm being pivotally connected to at least one of the first body assembly and second body; the first body assembly and the second body also being connected to one another via a linkage (90, 100, 110) that, via movement of at least a part of that linkage, allows for movement of the first body assembly and second body relative to one another in an anti-phase manner; properties of the wave energy converter being tuneable, to tune the wave energy converter for use in a particular wave field.
