Coils of wire and a magnet. When magnetic lines of force move across a wire, it causes electrons in the wire to move. Those moving electrons are electrical current. In a generator, either the magnet or the coils of wire spin.

How is potential energy changed into electricity?
For example, in a hydroelectric dam, water makes a turbine move; the turbine makes a generator move, the generator generates the electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric dam, water makes a turbine move; the turbine makes a generator move, the generator generates the electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric dam, water makes a turbine move; the turbine makes a generator move, the generator generates the electricity.For example, in a hydroelectric dam, water makes a turbine move; the turbine makes a generator move, the generator generates the electricity.
How do solar panels turn the sun's rays into electricity?
The heat of the rays turn the generator.The generator has a magnet in it. The magnet is inside a copper ring. The magnet urn and makes friction which makes electricity. The electricity goes to the breaker box at a house.
How does a wind turbine generator work?
The main shaft which is spun by the turbines rotates magnets inside of a coil of copper wire. This makes electricity.
What is a type of machine that makes electricity?
A machine that makes electricity is called a generator. Generators use electromagnetism to convert physical movement into electricity.
What is the machine in a power station that changes kinetic energy into electrical energy?
for instance generator, crusher, boiler, coal
What is the name of a machine which makes electricity?
Electric generator. May be a dynamor or a cell.
How do you transform wind into green energy?
when wind makes a wind tower's blades turn, there is a generator that makes electricity out of it.
How does a Generator conductor electricity?
The generator induces a current in a wire using a magnet and a coil of wire. When the drive on a generator is rotated, a magnet inside the generator is spun around. This creates a moving magnetic field inside the generator. Located inside and around the generator is a coil of wires, which lead to a power storage device. As the magnetic field moves around, it induces a current in these wires by pushing the electrons inside the wires. The amount of electricity generated by a generator can be increased by increasing the amount of coils around the magnet, increasing the strength of the magnet, or by simply increasing the speed at which the drive is turned.
What makes a fruit or vegetable conduct electricity?
The water inside the fruit or the vegetable, makes it conduct electricity.
How was electricity captured inside of electrical wires?
Electricity is not "captured" inside of electrical wires. The question makes no sense.
Which object converts wind power to electricity?
A windmill or a wind turbine. Once there is enough wind the blades turn the generator inside. This generates electricity.
How much a electricity can a generator hold?
None. A generator generates electricity, it does not store it.
