1. 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, characterized in that it has a movable element (1) that transmits vibrations to two ends of a drive chain (3), finished with fixing elements (4) with nuts (5) used for tension adjustments and with tensioning springs (6), whereby the chain (3) interacts with a cogwheel (7) of at least one gearing (PZ), coupled via a freewheel (10) with second cogwheel (9) of that gearing, connected by means of first chain (12) with a drive wheel (13) of at least one electric generator (14), where both the axis (8) of the gearing (PZ) and the generator (14) are fitted to a base (11) constituting an immovable element which is the body of the_vehicle.

2. A vibration-to-electric energy converter as per claim 1, characterized in that its movable element (1) has the form of a body, and a drive chain (3) is stretched between two of the body's arms (2, 2*).

3. A vibration-to-electric energy converter as per claim 1, characterized in that its movable element (1) is permanently fixed to an arm of a lever element (17) constituting a double arm lever, and its other arm has two holes for the installation of fixing elements (4) with nuts (5) and springs (6) of a drive chain (3).

4. A vibration-to-electric energy converter as per claim 1 or 2 or 3, characterized in that its drive chain (3) interacts with first cogwheels (7, 7') of gearings (PZ, PZ*), coupled via freewheels (10, 10') with second cogwheels (9, 9'), connected by means of first chains (12, 12') with drive wheels (13, 13') of electric generators (14, 14').

5. A vibration-to-electric energy converter as per claim 4, characterized in that its gearings (PZ, PZ') are positioned next to each other, on two axes (8, 8*).

6. A vibration- to-electric energy converter as per claim 4, characterized in that its gearings (PZ, PZ') are positioned on a single axis (8).

7. A vibration-to-electric energy converter as per claim 1 or 2 or 3, characterized in that its drive unit is connected with an immovable element - body of the vehicle (11) that does not vibrate when the vehicle is in motion and a flexibly suspended movable element (1) that changes its relative position to the immovable element (11) in up-and- down movements.

8. A vibration-to-electric energy converter as per claim 7, characterized in that its immovable element (11) is a part of the vehicle's body, preferably the floor.

9. A vibration-to-electric energy converter as per claim 7, characterized in that its movable element (1) is fitted between the vehicle's wishbone and body.

10. A vibration-to-electric energy converter as per claim 9, characterized in that its movable element (1) is the vehicle's suspension.
