Which converts mechanical energy to electrical energy?

Answer 1

You use an electrical generator. The shaft can be turned by any source of

mechanical energy . . . such as falling water, a windmill turned by wind, a

turbine turned by steam, a belt turned by a gas engine, a treadmill turned

by hamsters etc. When the shaft turns, out comes electrical energy.

Answer 2

You use a device called a generator. These come in all sizes from a kilowatt up to hundreds of megawatts, and can generate AC or DC current according to design. A generator basically consists of a rotor rotating within a stator, both have conducting windings, and produce electricity by virtue of the Faraday effect, the movement of a conductor in a magnetic field. The mechanical energy can be supplied with engines of size from a small gasoline engine up to the largest power plant steam turbines.

Answer 3

The motor does the trick.

A magnetic field is known to exert a force on a wire if a current runs through it.

So, all you need a big magnet and a bunch of wires, run a current through the wires, and the magnet will exert a force on them, and will push and do mechanical work and produce mechanical energy.

Answer 4

If you have a conductor pass through a magnetic field a current isinducedin the conductor. So if you have two very powerful magnets producing a strong magnetic field between them and you have a coil of wire that passes through them on the cyclical nature, then you have a m->e generator.

all hail the great Micheal Faraday!

Answer 5

By moving a conductor through a magnetic field. This will induce an electric current into this conductor. Look up the word dynamo in Wikipedia.

Answer 6

A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Answer 7

A motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.

Answer 8

some type of generator is being used

Answer 9

This is the purpose of a dynamo.

Answer 10

An electric motor is.
