Electric generators have several important parts that work together! Here are the main components:
1.
Rotor: This is the part that spins, usually containing magnets or coils. ๐
2.
Stator: This part surrounds the rotor and contains coils of wire. Itโs where the electricity is produced!
3.
Prime Mover: This is what makes the rotor spinโlike a turbine,
steam engine, or engine combustion. ๐

4.
Regulator: This keeps the voltage stable, making sure the electricity is safe to use.
5.
Cooling System: Generators can get hot, so this part helps cool everything down! โ

Working together, these parts create the electrical magic we use every day!
