A generator converts mechanical energy (usually rotational kinetic energy) into electrical energy.
How: rotating a coil or magnet changes magnetic flux through the coil (Faraday's law), inducing an electric current. In practice the mechanical input may come from a turbine (steam, water, wind) or a hand crank; some energy is lost as heat and sound, so output electrical energy is slightly less than input mechanical energy.
