An electric generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electricity, usually by means of electromagnetic induction. It is operated by a motor, which may be powered by sources such as steam, internal combustion, artificial or natural waterfalls, wind (as in a windmill), solar power, compressed air, and others. There are also manual electric generators such as those operated by a hand crank or foot pedals, like those attached to bicycle headlamps.
One of the most common motors used for electric generators are dynamos. This kind of motor uses electromagnetism to produce pulsing direct electric current from mechanical rotation with a commutator, a switch that reverses current in an electric motor or generator. It is also the first kind of generator capable of producing electrical powers suitable for industrial use. One of the most common misconceptions about electric generators is that it does not create an electric charge but rather moves the electric current, which is already present in the conductive wirings.
