The invention relates to an energy converting device, particularly for converting mechanical to hydraulic energy, and therefrom into electrical energy, using as an energy transport medium a control fluid guided in two different control circuits having an operative connection to each other by means of a coupling device (32), wherein the one control circuit (28) serves for feeding in energy, particularly in the form of mechanical energy, and the other control circuit serves for discharging energy in the form of converted energy, particularly electrical energy.
