806 views

It has always been a question of mine that ive never gotten answered in a way that I understand. Like, how do you go from motion in my generator to electricity for my toaster? how does the energy go from spinny-magnet in the box outside to lightning in my walls? I don’t understand.

Electromagnetic induction.

Motor spins, disrupts electrons using magnets, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy and pushing the electricity through. A little bit like a pump for electrons?
