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 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.
