The subject matter of the invention is a vibration-to-electric energy converter by translating reciprocating motion of vibrating elements of a vehicle to circular motion of a driveshaft of an electric generator, fitted with at least one drive unit containing a toothed gearing and at least one freewheel. The converter according to the invention has a movable element that transmits vibrations to two ends of a drive chain, finished with fixing elements with nuts used for tension adjustments and with tensioning springs, whereby the chain interacts with a small cogwheel of at least one gearing, coupled via a freewheel with a large cogwheel of that gearing, connected by means of a short chain with a drive wheel of at least one electric generator, where both the axis of the gearing and the generator are fitted to a base constituting an immovable element.
