A steam turbine/generator in a power station, a small gasoline powered generator, or a 12v alternator in your car driven by the engine.
Motor is device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy,where as generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
electrical energy
when electrical energy is supplied to the motor of an electric fan, some of the electrical energy is transferred to the fan blade as kinetic energy. The energy is also transformed from electrical to kinetic.
That's called an electric motor.
With a generator mounted on the "turbine". The propeller spins the generator shaft.
Alternator
The device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy is an electric motor. Electric motors are also used as generators in hybrid automobiles to convert mechanical energy back to electrical energy.
List of examples of energy conversions1. Electric Generator (Mechanical Energy into Electrical Energy)2. Electric Motor (Electrical Energy into Mechanical Energy)3. Steam Engine (Thermal Energy into Mechanical Energy)4. Diesel or Petrol Engine (Chemical Energy into Mechanical Energy)5. Stove (Chemical Energy into Thermal Energy)6. Electric Bulb (Electrical Energy into Thermal and Light Energy)7. Cellular Respiration (Chemical Energy into Thermal and Mechanical Energy)
Thermal, nuclear, mechanical, chemical,electrical, electromagnetic.
Mechanical energy (e.g. kinetic energy of moving objects), thermal energy (e.g. heat), and radiant energy (e.g. light) are all non-examples of electrical energy.
Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to produce motion, while generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. In both cases, energy is changing from one form to another - from electrical to mechanical or vice versa.
Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Generators transfer mechanical energy to electrical energy.
Some examples of converting electrical energy to mechanical energy include electric motors in vehicles, fans, and power tools. When electricity flows through the motor, it generates a magnetic field that interacts with the motor's components to create mechanical motion.

Some examples include using a generator to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, a solar panel converting sunlight into electrical energy, and a light bulb transforming electrical energy into light and heat energy.
Electric generator, dynamo are examples where mechanical energy is changed into electric energy. This is also known as Alternator. This was first designed by Nicholas.
The motor changes electrical energy into mechanical (torque) energy.
