An electrical generator is a device that generates electricity from mechanical energy, usually via electromagnetic induction.n a diesel-electric locomotive, a diesel engine provides power to an electric traction motor that turns the unit's wheels. Generators often rely on gas-powered motors for operation when creating electricity. A turbine designed to generate energy from the wind.
Electrical generators found in power plants use water turbines, combustion engines, windmills, or other sources of mechanical energy to spin wire coils in strong magnetic fields, inducing an electric potential in the coils. A generator that provides alternating current power is called an alternator.
