How do generators make electricity?
Generators work on the principle of Electromagnetic Induction where electricity is induced (created) by a magnetic field passing through a coil of wire. (click on link for demo) (http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/electromag/java/faraday2/) This was discovered by Michael faraday. Check out this link of a generator in action.
