The invention relates to a device (1) for generating electrical energy from a rotational movement, comprising a stator (3) which can rotate about a rotational axis and a rotor (4) which can rotate about the rotational axis (2) and is connected to the stator (3), which rotor comprises a centre of gravity (5) located outside the rotational axis (2), wherein in the stator (3) a coil is arranged for inducing an electrical voltage when the stator (3) is rotated relative to the rotor (4), wherein an electrical circuit (7) is connected to the coil, said circuit comprising an energy store (6) for rectifying the voltage induced in the coil. In order to achieve a maximum energy yield under various conditions of use, according to the invention, the device (1) is configured to detect a position of a plane defined by the rotational axis (2) and the centre of gravity (5) of the rotor (4) and to influence the position of the plane by means of a current flow through the coil, so that a deflection of the plane from the vertical can be limited by the current flow during a rotation of the stator (3). The invention also relates to a use of a such a device (1).
