The invention relates to a wind turbine anchored to the ground or to a base, and comprising a pole, the natural oscillation frequency of which is purposely adjusted to the frequency of appearance of the air vortices or eddies produced after the collision of laminar and stationary airflow on the surface thereof. The aeroelastic energy thus absorbed is converted into electrical energy due to the use of materials with high electromechanical coupling. Aerogenerador que consiste en un anclaje al suelo o basamento y un mástil cuya frecuencia de oscilación natural se ajusta de manera deliberada a la frecuencia con la que aparecen los vórtices o remolinos de aire producidos tras la colisión de un flujo de aire laminar y estacionario sobre su superficie. La energía aeroelástica así absorbida se transforma en energía eléctrica gracias al uso materiales con alto acoplamiento electromecánico.
