Abstract: This electrostatic converter comprises a rotor comprising at least one blade designed to receive an air flow; a stator comprising at least one electrode; a flexible membrane fitted on the blade, and comprising a counter-electrode, the electrode or the counter-electrode being coated with a dielectric material suitable to be polarized; the flexible membrane describing a trajectory when the rotor performs a rotation; the flexible membrane being configured to come into sliding contact with the stator on a first part of the trajectory, and configured to be at a distance from the stator on a second part of the trajectory so as to form a variable electric capacitance variable suitable to induce an electric current.
