You can provide mechanical input to a generator by connecting it to a rotating source, such as a turbine or an engine, using a drive shaft. The rotation of the source will then be converted into electrical energy by the generator through the process of electromagnetic induction. Proper alignment and sizing of the mechanical components are essential to ensure efficient power generation.
To increase the frequency output of an electric generator, the speed of rotation needs to be increased. This can be achieved by either increasing the mechanical input driving the generator, such as through a higher rotational speed or by adjusting the number of rotor poles in the generator. These changes will result in the generator producing electricity at a higher frequency.
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.
The amount by which a machine multiplies an input force is called mechanical advantage. It is calculated by dividing the output force by the input force.
C. Generator and motor. In case of generator mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy But in motor, electrical energy is changed into mechanical energy.
Efficiency of a machine or mechanical advantage
Then the motor will act as generator by principle
Motors and Generators are Transducers which convert one form of energy to another form. Constructionally both are same. Theoretically, same machine can function as both motor and generator depending upon the input it recieves. If it is supplied with mechanical input it gives out electrical output (Generator). If it is given electrical input, it gives out mechanical output (Motor).
Generators transform energy into electrical energy. The output of the generator is the electric power it "makes". The input is whatever is used to create mechanical energy to turn the "prime mover", or the thing that makes the generator spin (be it steam / thermal energy, water, wind, etc.).

it is used to select the type of input we want to give to any of our ckt's.... Input's such as sine, square, triangular, pulse etc....
A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
A generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy.
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.
Because it is rotating a coil of wire in a magnetic field, and this produces an electric current. It has to be driven by some sort of mechanical engine, which provides the input power.
