it causes a magnet to spin and generate electricity through the aligning of the electrons in surrounding atoms
Magnets are used in generators. A magnet is rotated by something, e.g. a wind turbine, and the magnet turns inside a copper coil which generates electricity. It is the opposite of a motor.
The shape of the magnet is unimportant. Any moving magnet can induce a voltage in a wire. Or any changing magnetic field. If the magnet rotates, its magnetic field will change, so yes.
There is no such thing as a hydroelectric magnet, but perhaps you mean how do hydroelectric generators create electricity? Generators work in a way opposite to electric motors. In this generator, a stream of water flows past the vanes of a turbine and causes the turbine to spin. The turbine causes an armature with magnets to rotate. The consequent rotating magnetic field moves past conductive coils of wire surrounding the armature, and as you may know, current is generated when a conductive wire is exposed to a moving magnetic field.
electricity in a generator is made by spinning a magnet inside a coil the flux lines of the magnet will cut through the coil and create a current. you can turn the magnet in numerous ways, by using wind mills, water mills, or heating water with coal, oil, gas or nuclear energy, and let the steam rush into a turbine which then moves the magnet.

The moving or falling water travels through a turbine, causing the turbine blades to spin. This in turn, is used to drive a generator (in simple terms, this is a magnet that spins inside a coil of copper wire). The rotating magnetic field produced by the spinning magnet induces an electrical current in the copper wire hence generating electricity. Please see the related links for further information.

by burning the fuel to heat water to make steam to turn a turbine to rotate a magnet about a coil (or a coil about a magnet) to make electricity.
Electricity is generated by rotating a powerful magnet inside a large coil of wire. The rotating magnetic field induces current in the wire, which forms the basis for all of the electricity we use. The different kinds of power plants (coal, gas, nuclear, etc.) are all just different methods for rotating a magnet inside a coil of wire.
The use of wind power for electricity involves the attachment directly or indirectly of a magnet to the turbine to spin within a dynamo to generate a current.

An external form of energy to turn a metal turbine around a magnet is the most common and easiest way to generate electricity. Examples : burning coal to turn the turbine or with windmills to turn the turbine.
A nuclear power plant heats water, lots of it, into steam, which drives a turbine. The spinning turbine generates electricity by turning a magnet inside coils of wire, which then is sent along wires to the "grid".
I assume that your question is how you can use an engine to obtain electricity. If so, the idea is the following: You burn a fuel inside the combustion chamber of the engine. What this will do is to convert the chemical energy of the fuel molecules into thermal energy. You can then use some kind of rotor (turbine) that converts this thermal energy into mechanical energy by rotating the turbine. The mechanical energy is transmitted via an axle that connects the turbine to an electric generator. Simplifying, a generator comprises of a magnet that rotates inside a coil and electricity is then generated inside the coil of this generator via induction. That's how you obtain electricity from a combustion engine. I hope I understood your question correctly.
The same way you make it on earth. Use either some form of rotating magnet generator or a solar cell.
