An energy conversion device, such as a wave energy conversion device has a diaphragm (30) attached to a frame (100, 110) with opposed lateral edges of the diaphragm (30) being attached to the frame (100, 110) with an "S"-shaped configuration. The diaphragm (30) and frame (100, 110) form a cell (20) for fluid which is driven by movement of the diaphragm to drive a power-take-off device such as a turbine mounted in a duct leading from the cell (20). The diaphragm may be reinforced by cords, preferably vertical cords. Multiple cells (20) may be arranged in a ring, or the duct from one cell may lead to a reservoir or to another cell. |
