An AC generator (Alternator). A rotor is turned into a magnet by what is known as 'excitation' current. The rotor then induces AC current in the stator windings as it is rotated within it.
This is AC, due to the fact that the rotor has a north and south pole, which alternately induces current in the stator windings. The exitation current is provided to the rotor via slip rings. Controlling this excitation current will also control the output power by suitable control circuitry.
This is the same principle, whether it is a small domestic generator, a power station, a wind turbine, or a car alternator.

Windmills generate electricity on the spot. This electricity is then cabled into the closest grid.
What is needed on solar energy farms?

How electricity gathered?
by wires <<>> Electricity is not a collectible commodity. It is generated and distributed as the demand requires. Small amounts of DC electricity can be stored in a capacitor but is not viable as an AC source. Electricity is distributed by wire conductors.
How could the island generate electricity?
the island generate electricity from sae water
Which is the least sustainable practice?

Can you power a light bulb with a piece of carpet?
Nope, Carpet will generate Static electricity and a light bulb needs AC or DC current.
Which materials are needed to generate electricity?
wires and batteries and things like lemon juice or lime juice which is acidic
