The electric generator converts mechanical rotation (hence, the term mechanical energy) into electrical energy (electricity) with the help of magnetism in the generator (magnetic forces). Electric power is the term use in expressing the rate of energy per time (hence kilowatt = kilojoule per second).
In a complex electric power system, this electrical energy is converted back into mechanical energy (such as elevator in a building, refrigerator at home) and other forms of energy that are being use by mankind in its quest for development

What energy uses kinetic energy of the air to turn a generator?
Wind energy.
How do mechanical energy becomes electrical energy?
Through a generator I.e. turn the generator which turns the coil around a magnet which in turn creates an electrical current.
What energy transformations in wind generator?
The mechanical energy of wind pushes on the blades, turning them (still mechanical energy) turning blades turn the generator (still mechanical) The generator changes mechanical energy to electrical energy.
What is the machine in a power station that changes kinetic energy into electrical energy?
for instance generator, crusher, boiler, coal
How does wind power produce electricity?
In essence, the wind turbine collects kinetic energy from the wind and transfers it to the generator. The blades on the turbine turn as the wind blows. As these blades move, they rotate a shaft connected to the rotor of a generator. The spinning magnets of the generator convert that rotational energy into electricity.
How the wind energy is converted into electrical energy?
The wind makes the rotor move; this in turn is used to power a dynamo (generator).
How is wind power used as energy?
The wind spins propellor blades which turn a generator producing electricity.
What is the input of a generator?
Generators transform energy into electrical energy. The output of the generator is the electric power it "makes". The input is whatever is used to create mechanical energy to turn the "prime mover", or the thing that makes the generator spin (be it steam / thermal energy, water, wind, etc.).
What is electric power generation?
An electric power generator is a generator the converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. That way you can get energy from the generator to produce electricity to places like your home.
A generator transforms?
A generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Electrical generator transfroms electrical energy into other energy?
An electrical generator generates electrical energy. It takes some kind of mechanical energy to turn the generator. The generator is said to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What can be produced by a generator?
energy/power
Do you know what a wind power generator is?
In fact, I just happen to know a bit about wind power generators. A wind power generator is a turbine connected to a transistor mounted on a large pole. As the wind causes the turbine to turn, the mechanical energy of the rotation is transferred into electrical power by the sophisticated transistors mounted in the generator. That electrical energy runs from the generators to the power grid thus supplying the world with power.
What energy uses kinetic energy of the air to turn a generator?
Wind energy.
How can you change energy into electricity?
By causing the energy to turn a generator/alternator.
An electric motor is a generator in reverse meaning that it can turn electricity into?
An electrical motor generator in reverse means that it can turn the electrical energy to mechanical and kinetic energy.
How do mechanical energy becomes electrical energy?
Through a generator I.e. turn the generator which turns the coil around a magnet which in turn creates an electrical current.
