By coils of wire moving in magnetic fields, or magnetic fields moving past coils of wire.
It’s the same physics that makes electric motors work, except you’re putting power in by mechanically spinning it, and getting power out by electricity.
With some types of motors, you can connect two identical motors to each other with wires, and spinning one motor will make the other motor spin too.
