by active joints. It is capable of adjusting its orientation, so it will always face into the wave direction. 20 A Pelamis consists of a number of floating cylindrical tubes which are connected by active joints. It is capable of adjusting its orientation, so it will always face into the wave direction. The wave induced lifting and dropping of the tubes causes hydraulic rams to pump hydraulic fluid into high-pressure accumulators to drive a hydraulic motor with a generator. Hydraulic cylinders, which are housed in the joints, withstand the wave-induced motion and pump fluid into high pressure accumulators, that permit smooth and constant power generation The second prototype Pelamis P2 with 180 meters of length (five tubes) and 4 meters in diameter with an overall weight of 1300 tonnes. It has a rated electrical power output of 750 kW with a target capacity factor is 25 - 40% depending on the wave climate
