The invention relates to a continuous-flow machine for energy transmission between a flowing fluid and a drive or output shaft on which a motor is arranged, which can also be used as a generator. In known systems for energy production, the option for use as a drive is not provided and their installation and maintenance is laborious and expensive due to their being rigidly secured to the river bed or sea bed. The new continuous-flow machine is to be configured both as a means for ship propulsion and as a system for energy production from the flowing fluid, and the installation, maintenance and use thereof is to be more flexible or more variable. The continuous-flow machine comprises a hydrofoil assembly formed by four oscillating hydrofoils, and two frame structures, which are rotationally moveably mounted on a shaft and which are designed for rotationally moveably mounting the hydrofoils about an axis of rotation oriented transverse to the flow direction, as well as an assembly which is designed for converting the opposing oscillating rotational movements of the two frame structures into a uni-directional linear rotational movement. The continuous-flow machine can serve as a drive component when secured to ships or off-shore structures, can function as a towing device in front of a ship in combination with a floating element, can serve as a means for energy production with another drive device, or can be used exclusively for energy production using a stationary device for an anchoring.
