Device for recovering the energy of movements, such as the movements of the sea, earth tremors or the movements of mobile objects, in the form of electrical energy, comprising: - a container (1, 101, 201) having a main axis and able to oscillate around at least one axis perpendicular to said main axis under the effect of said movements, said container comprising: more than three different compartments (121-128; 1121-1128; 2121-2126), said container containing a fluid able to flow, when said container oscillates, between said different compartments, - at least one turbine (13, 113, 213) arranged on the path of the fluid flowing between said different compartments and coupled to an alternator in order to produce electrical energy when the fluid flowing between the different compartments drives said turbine, - a central compartment (11, 111, 211) through which passes the fluid flowing between said different compartments, said central compartment comprising an upper portion, a lower portion and an intermediate portion (11c, 111c, 211c), and with the turbine being arranged in the intermediate compartment and being able to be driven in rotation by the fluid flowing between the upper portion and the lower portion of the central compartment, - systems of valve gates (14, 17; 114, 117; 214, 217, 234, 235, 236) arranged between the compartments for transferring fluid from at least one of the different compartments to the upper portion of the central compartment and from the lower portion of the central compartment to another of the different compartments when the potential energy of the fluid in the first compartment mentioned is greater than the potential energy of the fluid in said other compartment, characterised in that the more than three different compartments are arranged peripherally all around the central compartment, angularly offset from one another in relation to the main axis, said systems of valve gates being provided between each one of said peripheral compartments and the central compartment, and in that the intermediate portion (11c, 111c, 211c) of the central compartment has a channel with a reduced section between the upper portion (11a, 111a, 211a) and the lower portion (11b, 111b, 211b) of said central compartment. - a container (1, 101, 201) having a main axis and able to oscillate around at least one axis perpendicular to said main axis under the effect of said movements, said container comprising: more than three different compartments (121-128; 1121-1128; 2121-2126), said container containing a fluid able to flow, when said container oscillates, between said different compartments, - at least one turbine (13, 113, 213) arranged on the path of the fluid flowing between said different compartments and coupled to an alternator in order to produce electrical energy when the fluid flowing between the different compartments drives said turbine, - a central compartment (11, 111, 211) through which passes the fluid flowing between said different compartments, said central compartment comprising an upper portion, a lower portion and an intermediate portion (11c, 111c, 211c), and with the turbine being arranged in the intermediate compartment and being able to be driven in rotation by the fluid flowing between the upper portion and the lower portion of the central compartment, - systems of valve gates (14, 17; 114, 117; 214, 217, 234, 235, 236) arranged between the compartments for transferring fluid from at least one of the different compartments to the upper portion of the central compartment and from the lower portion of the central compartment to another of the different compartments when the potential energy of the fluid in the first compartment mentioned is greater than the potential energy of the fluid in said other compartment, characterised in that the more than three different compartments are arranged peripherally all around the central compartment, angularly offset from one another in relation to the main axis, said systems of valve gates being provided between each one of said peripheral compartments and the central compartment, and in that the intermediate portion (11c, 111c, 211c) of the central compartment has a channel with a reduced section between the upper portion (11a, 111a, 211a) and the lower portion (11b, 111b, 211b) of said central compartment.
