How do I convert mechanical energy to electricity?

Question

We have an investigatory project about it. Would you mind helping me with the easiest process or steps in making a simple invention to apply this? :)

Answer 1

Simply couple a coal or oil fired engine to an electric generator. Derive the output from the output terminals of the generator. Wind, steam and water turbines can also be used to drive generators if coupled the same way.

Answer 2

you need genrator

Answer 3

A small d.c. motor from a hobby/model shop works as a generator when the shaft is spun.

You need to devise a method of spinning the shaft.  The shop which sells the motor will probably have pulleys and gears too.

Answer 4

Get yourself a turbine, a gearbox and a generator and your set.

Now use; wind, steam, gas or water and use it to turn the turbine..the generator will now be turning and converting your applied mechanical energy to electrical.  SIMPLE! :)

Answer 5

You need to use mechanical system to turn a magnet inside of a wire.  This produces an electric field in the wire and therefore produces current.

Commonly known as a generator :)

Answer 6

take logic from generators.. that's exactly what they do: producing electricity from motion..
