Induction generator

An induction generator is a type of electric generator that converts mechanical energy (kinetic energy from a spinning motor) into electrical energy. When the motor spins, it creates a strong magnetic field inside the generator. This magnetic field then pushes on the electrons in the wire, making them move and creating electricity. The faster the motor spins, the more electricity it produces.
