There is not much of a difference between a motor and a generator. You can make a generator using a 12-volt DC motor, a LED and a pulley. Take two broomsticks and tie them together. This will make the stick stronger. Now tie the thread across the ends of the stick to make a bow. Tie a knot at the other end and then cut off the extra thread. This is the bow. Fix and solder a LED to a 12-vold DC toy motor. Take a small plastic pulley and press fit it on the shaft of the motor. If you hold the pulley and give it a twirl you will see that shaft of the motor rotates and the LED glows. The LED will glow more brightly in a dark room. Now take the thread of the bow and place it once around the small pulley. Move the bow left and right. This will spin the pulley attached to the motor. The spinning motor will generate a current which will light up the LED. The LED will glow brightly in a dark room. So, you can also change a motor and convert it to make a simple electric generator.
