Claim:
1. A device for converting heat energy into electrical energy, comprising: a support; a conductive circuit wherein an induced current is intended to flow; a set of magnetic particles which are magnetized and with a ferromagnetic material base, with the particles being connected to the support using a heat-sensitive attachment structure configured to maintain the magnetic particles in at least one first position with respect to the conductive circuit when the device is subjected to a first temperature, the heat-sensitive attachment structure comprising heat-sensitive polymer attaching molecules of at least one first type, with the polymer attaching molecules being sensitive to temperature, such that, when the attaching molecules of the first type are subjected to a given variation in temperature from the first temperature to a second temperature, the attachment structure moves the magnetic particles from the first position to a second position with respect to the conductive circuit, with the movement of the magnetic particles from the first position to the second position inducing a current in the conductive circuit.
