Abstract
A pendulum device is provided including at least one oscillating mass, at least one proximal arm, and at least one first distal arm, The at least one proximal arm is fixed to the oscillating mass at one end and is rotatably connected to the distal arm at the other end, so that the oscillating mass can oscillate with respect to said distal arm. The distal arm is rotatably fixed to a support element fixed through a fulcrum point. Furthermore, transmission means are included between the distal arm and the proximal arm. The transmission means is configured so that oscillation of the mass causes the rotation of the distal arm around the fulcrum point and so that at least one point of said proximal arm performs at least a linear translation, the mass performing a cycloidal trajectory.

A pendulum device comprising:
- at least one oscillating mass;
- at least one proximal arm;
- and
- at least one first distal arm,
- wherein said proximal arm is fixed to said oscillating mass at one end and is rotatably connected to the distal arm at the other end, so that said oscillating mass can oscillate with respect to said distal arm;
- and
- wherein the distal arm is rotatably fixed to a support element fixed through a fulcrum point;
- and
- wherein a transmission means is included between the distal arm and the proximal arm, the transmission means being configured so that oscillation of said mass causes the rotation of the distal arm around the fulcrum point and so that at least one point of said proximal arm performs at least a linear translation, said mass performing a cycloidal trajectory.
