A turbine engine compressor has a rotor including rotating compressor discs. Magnets are positioned on the rotating compressor discs. Electrical coils are positioned in a stationary guide vane internal ring so as to create an electric machine providing starting torque to a rotor, and/or generating electrical energy once the rotor is rotating.
