Abstract
This work discusses some structures of electrostatic generators that can be used for energy harvesting from mechanical vibrations or rotating movement, that do not require any active control circuit for their operation. The structures use an unstable generator to bias another generator, or just variable capacitors, which form the main generator. Their action is similar to electric generators based on electrets.
