Electric generators are devices that produce electricity by rotating a soft iron core in a copper coil. Yes, industrial generators are big and complex machines, but you can make them inexpensively. All you need to do is create a frame that will support a coil and an iron axis equipped with magnets. From the latter will come out two wires which, connected to an electrical device, will make it work. You won't be powering your home, but it's an experiment that helps you understand some properties of electricity.
