Abstract
A device for converting mechanical energy into electric power, which includes at least one supporting frame for a supporting assembly that can slide according to a predefined stroke. The assembly is preset for rotatably accommodating at least one shaft; the shaft and the assembly are able to oscillate with respect to the frame. The upper end of the shaft, which protrudes upward from the supporting assembly, including a radial protruding arm provided with a terminal inertial element; the shaft is associated with a unit for converting mechanical energy into electric power. A source of mechanical energy is designed for the alternating movement of the assembly on the frame.
