Basically electric motor in reverse...instead of electricity powering the motor, the motor powers electricity. But the trick is in "what spins the motor". In the case if ICE generators, it's usually a pulley off the crankshaft. Or it could be moving water. permalink fedilink source parent [–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 11 months ago* gas generators based on internal combustion they heat air, afaik. hot gas expands -> mechanical movement moves magnets -> electromagnetism -> electric power. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago Molten ice. permalink fedilink source parent
