how do generators work?

164 views

So we are getting a generator for any time the power gets knocked out and I was curious on how they actually work but I have a hard time understanding things so I was wondering if this sub would help me understand.

Edit: thank you all for the answer. I’m glad they helped me and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

It turns out that moving a magnet near a wire makes a little electricity move through the wire. You can get more electricity by winding the wire in a tight coil. Generators just use an engine to continually move magnets near coils of wire.
