What is actually happening inside the generator, and where is it drawing the electrons that make up the current from?

The rotational force of the turbine is connected to the rotor and stator of a generator. The moving rotor creates an electro-magnetic force (using magnets and coils), which creates electricity.

Essentially, a mechanical force creates an electrical current.
