An electric generator converts motion into electricity, the opposite of what an electric motor does.
Renewable energy industries use electric generators to tap energy that doesn't run out and doesn't deplete our planet's resources:
1. Hydroelectricity: converting the flow of water into electricity. At a dam, water rapidly flows down through large passages due to gravity. Water turbines (basically "negative propellers" that turn when water flows through them) are located in the flow to turn a shaft, which is connected to a generator to produce electricity.
2. Wind power: converting wind into electricity. A similar approach using a wind turbine which turns when air flows through it. Again the rotating shaft is connected to a generator to produce electricity.
