Generators An electrical generator is a device that converts energy into electric power for use in an external circuit. It was first prototyped by Michael Faraday in 1831. The electric generator works through kinetic energy, also known as motion. This energy can be procured from water turbines, wind turbines, steam turbines, and other methods. Water turbines or hydroelectric turbines are used to convert the kinetic energy in water into electricity. Usually, it is done in high-falling or fast-flowing water to generate more energy. This process is termed as hydropower. Wind turbines are used to convert the kinetic energy in wind into electricity. These are, on average, the most efficient way to generate electricity. These turbines alone do not produce much, so they are grouped in hundreds in windy areas. These are known as wind farms. Steam turbines are the most used type of electricity generation. They have a reputation as a harmful source of electricity for the Earth, alt...
