turbine
A pinwheel, fan, or other spinning device, attached to the axle of an electric generator, is stuck up into the wind. As the wind spins the device, the device in turn spins the generator.
A set of steam-powered fan blades that spins a generator at a power plant is called a turbine. The steam produced by boiling water is used to drive the turbine blades, converting the thermal energy into mechanical energy to rotate the generator and produce electricity.
Energy is transferred by a generator through electromagnetic induction. As the rotor inside the generator spins, it creates a changing magnetic field that induces a current in the wire loops of the stator. This current is the electrical energy that is then transferred out of the generator for use.
A wind turbine uses kinetic energy of the air to turn a generator. The wind pushes the blades of the turbine, causing them to rotate, which in turn spins the generator to produce electricity.
There are typically two ways to turn a generator: manually by hand or through an external power source such as an engine or motor, which in turn spins the generator shaft to produce electricity.

Water spins a wheel (think Holland) and the wheel spins a generator. A spinning generator releases energy to its connected load.
The water spins a turbine; the turbine spins a generator; the generator produces electricity. It is that simple.
A solar panel is a device that spins when the sun shines on it to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
A coil of wire spins in a magnetic field
The kinetic energy of the falling water (usually in a dam) spins a turbine which spins a generator, creating electricity!
With a generator mounted on the "turbine". The propeller spins the generator shaft.

The wind spins propellor blades which turn a generator producing electricity.
The totem is a device that Cobb spins in order to tell whether he's in a dream or not. If it spins perpetually, he's in someone's dream. If it spins, but then falls and stops, it's reality.
