A water turbine produces energy by transferring the energy from flowing or falling water using a generator. A generator uses copper coils and magnets to create energy. The magnetic field produced from the magnets need to cross over the copper coils which excite the particles in the coils to produce and cause the electricity to flow, making electricity from water.
Magnets actually generate electricity. When a wire is passed through a magnetic field it produces electron flow. Coils of wire can detect magnetic flux variation and be used as sensors.
Fans are comprised of both coils and magnets. When the fan is turned on, an electric current is sent through the coil in the fan and will move around in a circle. Because electricity emits a magnetic field, the magnets in the fan will be attracted to the magnetic force emitted by the electricity moving around in the coil and the fan will start to spin.
Yes, magnets are spun rapidly inside coils of wire to induce an electric current within the wire, this is the basic principal of an electricity generator.
Some DC motors.

That would be an electric generator. They are also called dynamos. An alternator is a type of generator that makes alternating current.
The electrical device is a transformer.

Large Magnets, passing through magnetic fields which become electricity.
Water, as it flows downhill can be made to spin turbines. These turbines can be used to move electromagnets through electrical coils. The motion of magnets, though coils generates electricity through a process called induction.
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.

Coal is burned continuously at a high temperature. The heat is used to heat water, which turns to steam. The high pressure steam is used to drive a turbine, which in turn produces the electricity. A turbine is similar to an electric motor, but in reverse. By forcing the turbine around using the steam, large magnets are forced through coils of wire. This causes a current within the coils, which is converted to useful electricity.
It's your basic electromagnetic device. Pressing the pickup wheel of the dynamo against a bicycle wheel in motion cause the inner parts of the dynamo to spin. What's spinning is a pair of magnets surrounded by coils. When the magnetic field through a coil changes you get electricity. That electricity can then power a light.

In a modern coal fired power plant the mechanical motion of turbines is transferred by a shaft to a generator, where magnets spin within wire coils to produce electricity
