Best Answer

An electrical generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The fundamental principle behind its operation is electromagnetic induction, a phenomenon discovered by Michael Faraday in the early 19th century.

A current can be induced by a (moving) magnetic field ...

so you spin a magnet inside a coil of wire and you have a generator.

What is reversed polarity in an home inspection?

Reversed polarity is when the white or neutral wire and black or hot wire are connected to the wrong side of the electric receptical screws. Fixing electrical problems in a home is not very complicated. Doing it incorrectly can cause fire, shock, or death. Do NOT play around with electrical components in your home. If you have an electrical problem call a licensed electrical contractor. Doing your own electrical work can and is very hazardous. Several times a week I inspect homes where the home owner tried to save a few dollars and did everything wrong. Our solution to non professional electrical work is for it all to ripped out and all to be replaced by a licensed contractor. The few dollars the home owner saved does not represent a long term savings in the vast majority of cases. Home inspectors are required to tell home buyer the implication of the problem and well as tell the home buyer what the problem is. Therefore a home inspector should be telling the buyer the electric outlet is not properly wired and the implications are fire, shock and or a slow painful death.

Has McBride Electric declared bankruptcy?

I used to work for McBride and May 31, 2010 after 60 years in business McBride did file for bankruptcy. Several parts of McBride in different states were acquired by other electrical companies. There is no word yet on the San Diego branch, but most of their work was commercial as opposed to Texas where most of their work was residential.
