Best Answer

magnets are used in the starter and the alternator. in the starter, electro magnets are used to run the electric starter motor and also to bring the pinion gear into the flywheel. in the alternator magnetic current is used to generate electricity to charge the battery. there may be some small magnets in the transmission to pick up metal fillings.

The power of wind is used to turn turbines and create electricity?

What you can do is under your wind turbine (the object that spins with the wind's force), you would put powerful magnets. Under that on the base, you could put coils of wire connected to a light, for instance. The magnets would spin over the coils, making the magnet's magnetic force run through the coils to the light creating electricity.

What are the types of magnets?

Ferro-magnets, permanent magnets, temporary magnets, and electromagnets. Ferro-magnets are magnets that are magnetic at a higher temperature than room temperature. do not quote me on that. permanent magnets are magnets that are always magnets, they are the kinds you use a lot. Temporary magnets are things that are magnetic in an extrenal magnetic field. Last but not least, electromagnets. Electromagnets are coils of wire around a cobalt, nickel, or iron. When ou run electricity through the wire, the core and wire become magnetic.
