  3. Electric AC Generator http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/propulsion/q0209.shtml

  4. Electric AC Generator http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/magnetic/genhow.html#c1

  5. Electric AC Generator http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/magnetic/motorac.html#c2

  6. Electrical output N Rotating wire loop Magnet S Human powered electric generator We need a rotating shaft? How to rotate the wire loop? http://electron9.phys.utk.edu/phys136d/modules/m8/images/gen.gif

  7. Wind turbine gives a rotating shaft http://www.electricityforum.com/images/motor-eout.gif

  8. Water turbine could also give a rotating shaft

  9. Diesel generator It is a diesel engine coupled to a electric generator. Diesel engine provides the rotating shaft. http://www.rkm.com.au/animations/animation-diesel-engine.html
