How is electricity generated by a generator?

Energy doesn't 'take place'. Until you become more comfortable with it, you should think of it as some kind of fluid, that flows from place to place, and can be stored in several ways for when it's needed. An electric generator is a machine that has a shaft and two terminal connections. It can supply electrical energy through the terminals when you spin the shaft. You just have to find something else that has energy, and skim energy off of that to spin the shaft of the generator. Some possibilities are: -- wind turning a windmill coupled to the shaft -- water falling through vanes on the shaft -- fire boiling water and blowing the steam through vanes on the shaft -- uranium in a nuclear reactor getting hot and boiling water and blowing the steam through vanes on the shaft -- a person pedaling an exercise bike coupled to the shaft -- 400 hamsters running on a treadmill coupled to the shaft. In every case, it takes 'kinetic energy' to spin the shaft, and the generator converts that kinetic energy into electrical energy.


What kind of projects do electrical engineers do?

Engineers are always in search of projects, and finding meaningful projects makes that search worthwhile within the Takeoff Edu Group. Listed below are some projects for electrical engineering ideas for such engineers.

What converts mechanical energy into electrical energy?

Motors convert electrical energy into mechaincal energy through Faraday's law:0 = dB/dt + Del x Ev. The electrical input causes the motors magnetic field to rotate and the rotor of the motor follows outputting mechanical energy.
