The large majority of generators use magnets. The only exception I can think of is hydrogen fuel cells and solar cells. So that definitely is not banned. Similarly, very few generators use electricity (maybe hydro-electric generators do, I can’t think of any others), since the whole point of a generator is to create electricity…

The interessting part of it is, that it creates more energy than you need to get it going

The first one to dicover this phenomenon was Nikola Tesla : http://magnetenergy.com/nikola-tesla/

There are a lot of new inventions. Check out the web or some blogs like http://magnetmotoren.info

Secondly a Motor is inverse of a generator

so for a motor. electricity causes magnets to spin bits of metal. to do work ( kinetic energy )

For a generator. We do work (kinetic energy) which spins magnets which produce a current.

Now, you have to understand 2 things before you will get whatever i say below

Electrons have electric and magnetic fields. When an electron is stationary, it only has an electric field.

Now look at this image

The two wires inside the whole thing are made of metal

Metals have free moving electrons

Then next outside thing closest to those inside wires. are magnets, one on each side.

They create a parallel magnetic field that is horizontal.

when you spin the metal wires, it causes a mangetic field to be given off. the field interacts with the field of the magnets.

This Force, then pushes the electrons along the wire.

The wire is attached to a resistor or whatever that needs powering or charging.

Thats generally how it works

To better understand, you need to go look at how electrons interact with magnetic fields. Look up the right hand slap rule. and Right hand grip rule.

A motor is the opposite.

a motor sends a current through the wire. producing a field. which interacts with the magnetic field of the magnets. causing a force, that causes the wires to spin.

Good luck
