There is provided an apparatus for absorbing or converting energy from a moving body of water. The apparatus comprises an energy capture element (3) which, in use, moves in response to movement of the body of water in which the energy capture element (3) is placed, and an elongate guide element (1) defining a guide path along which the energy capture element (3) can move. The energy capture element (3) is a volume. In use, the energy capture element (3) and the guide element (1) are arranged so that the energy capture element (3) moves along the guide path in a substantially horizontal plane in response to differences in water pressure along a length of the energy capture element (3) parallel to the guide path and in response to movement of the body of water surrounding the energy capture element (3). |
