A generator, alternator, or dynamo is a (usually)rotating machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.This is the principle behind electrical generation with the windmill, hydroelectric generator, crank generator. Ocean wave generators take advantage of the vertical motion of rising and falling water to achieve the same effect.
Alternating Current( AC ) constantly reverses itself as a result OS reversing electromotive force.One complete reversal is a cycle,and the number of cycles per second is the frequency of alternating current .The standard frequency of alternating current in the United States and the rest of North America is 60 Hz(1 Hz or hertz,equals 1 cycle per second )ex...Transformer,AC generator
MOTOR
Generator is a machine which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.For conversion of mechanical energy in to electrical energy, it uses electromagnetic induction principle.For electromagnetic induction to happen, three things are required.These are:Magnetic fieldConductorMotionSo, when the conductor starts rotating through the magnetic field or the magnetic field cuts the conductor, emf( electromotive force) or voltage is induced in the conductor.So, the conductor in which the voltage is induced in it is known as armature
Possibly, you are thinking of Alternating Current?
Electro-magnetic induction . a rotating force-field, so to speak. sounds very sci-Fi but a basic electrical device.
Alternating current is generated by a rotating generator which moves in such a way as to produce that kind of current.
An AC generator is an electrical machine which produces alternating current electricity. It must be turned by a prime mover which can be an internal combustion engine - driven, usually, by diesel oil or gasoline - or can be a turbine, driven either by superheated steam or by water falling from a reservoir. (The latter is known as "hydro-electric power generation").Alternating voltage may be generated by rotating a coil in the magnetic field or by rotating a magnetic field within a stationary coil. That kind of system is called an AC generator or an "alternator".An a.c. generator, which is usually called an 'alternator', is a machine which converts kinetic energy into electrical energy. Its output is an alternating voltage.For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.

AC generator is a rotating machine with a rotor and stator winding, driven by another prime mover, which generates alternating current at a specified voltage.
The windings of the armature are constantly cutting magnetic lines of force of opposite polarities
the rotating will chang.but if you chang terminal connection nothing wont happen.
Wind blows on a windmill or wind turbine and makes it rotate. This can be looked at the kinetic energy in the moving air being converted to the kinetic energy of the rotating vanes. The rotating turbine turns a shaft that turns (through gears) a electrical generator. The generator produces electricity. This can be seen as the kinetic energy of the rotating vanes transferred to the kinetic energy of the generator, which converts it to electrical power. The electrical power is then sent into the electric grid.
That's an electrical generator, whether the mechanical energy comes from steam or water flowing through a turbine, or wind, or tides.
A commutator is an electrical switch that periodically reverses the current direction in an electric motor or electrical generator. A commutator is a common feature of direct current rotating machines.
A motor takes electricity and creates rotating motion. A generator takes rotating motion and turns it into electricity.
