That's a generator. In a way, it is the opposite of an electrical motor (which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy), but it has many of the same components.

Can you charge battery by mechanical energy?

No. There are, indeed, ways to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, but a battery is not usually designed to do this. You can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy by another device, but the battery itself has to be charged by electricity.


Does a motor work?

A motor does not provide energy. It converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. From a circuit standpoint, the motor is considered a load (similar to a resistor). Resistors convert electrical energy to heat energy.
