=== Generators === {{main|Electric generator}} [[File: Turbine aalborg.jpg|thumb|right|upright|[[Wind turbine]]s usually provide electrical generation in conjunction with other methods of producing power.]] [[Electric generator]]s transform [[kinetic energy]] into electricity. This is the most used form for generating electricity based on [[Faraday's law of induction|Faraday's law]]. It can be seen experimentally by rotating a magnet within closed loops of conducting material, e.g. copper wire. Almost all commercial electrical generation uses electromagnetic induction, in which [[mechanical energy]] forces a generator to rotate.
