Thermionic generators convert heat or light into an electric current by using the temperature difference between two metallic plates that are separated by a vacuum. The hot plate is heated either by incident light or thermal conduction and this causes electrons to evaporate from its surface.
Generating Electricity from Wind Energy With Wind Turbines. A wind turbine is in many ways the opposite of a fan. Instead of providing the electricity to get the fan to rotate, wind rotates the turbine to generate electricity. So, how exactly does wind energy produce electricity? The rotor blades on a wind turbine catches the kinetic energy in the wind and transfers it via a rotor shaft to the generator. The wing blades can be rotated and adjusted to the wind direction and strength, for maximum utilization of energy. When the rotor spins, the power is transferred via the drive shaft and gearbox.
