A power recovery device, including an electroactive polymer membrane; an actuator capable of moving along a first direction non-parallel to the mid-plane of the membrane; a member for converting the motion of the actuator into a stretching of the membrane along at least one second direction of the mid-plane of the membrane; and means for biasing the membrane including an electret.

Pressure power recovery device

An electroactive polymer transducer comprising a membrane formed of an approximately rectangular electroactive polymer portion surrounded by two electrodes, at least two points of the membrane being connected to rigid supports, and comprising at least one deformable element for limiting the deformations that the membrane may undergo, the limiting element having a meandering form and being connected to the membrane in several approximately distributed points.
