gen·er·a·tor

(jĕn′ə-rā′tər)

A machine that converts movement, or mechanical energy, into electrical energy. Generators create an electric current by means of a coiled electric wire that rotates between two magnets. When the wire turns inside the magnetic field, an electric current flows through it.
