Any moving fluid can power a turbine. This includes air, water, steam, burning fuel etc.
When the fluid strikes the blades of the turbime it transfers energy to the blade causing the blade to move.

Internal combustion engine: petrol (gasoline), diesel, ethanol or petroleum gas
Reciprocating steam engine (now historic): steam raising by burning coal or wood
Steam turbine: steam raising by burning coal, oil, biomass or nuclear reactor
Gas Turbine: kerosene, natural gas
Water Turbine: big capital in dams to create sufficient head of water
Wind turbine: not liked by Nimbys

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.
How does a generator transform electrical energy?
A generator changes mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What kind of energy does a generator have?
mechanical energy
The function of a generator is to change?
...is to change electrical energy into mechanical energy.
A device that supplies the mechanical energy to turn the armature of a generator is a?
Is a turbine
How generator run?
By help of prime mover which supplies the mechanical energy to the shaft of generator(in case of dc generators).
What energy transformations in wind generator?

How do generators run?
By help of prime mover which supplies the mechanical energy to the shaft of generator(in case of dc generators).
How are motors and a generator different?
Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
What does a generator convert?
A generator converts 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 changes mechanical energy to energy?
A generator changes mechanical energy into electrical energy.
How does a generator transform electrical energy?
A generator changes mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Mechanical energy into electrical energy?
with a generator.
What kind of energy does a generator have?
mechanical energy
Device that converts mechanical mechanical energy into electricity by electromagnetic induction?
Generator
