ABSTRACT:
An energy converter comprises a flexible plane unit1placed in a position to be exposed to a flow of fluid such as wind, at least a part of peripheral edge of the flexible plane unit1being capable of fluttering freely with the flow, an energy conversion unit31for converting vibration energy into electric energy, and a transmission unit2connected to the flexible plane unit1and for transmitting a vibration caused on the flexible plane unit by the flow to the energy conversion unit31.
