What's the part called that converts spinning, rotor, motor power into electricity?
If I were to buy one what would I call it?

The part is called a generator.
A generator works by converting mechanical energy from the motor into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. This is achieved through the rotation of a coil of wire within a magnetic field, creating a flow of electrons and generating electricity.
No, there are different types of generators such as AC generators, which use alternating current, and DC generators, which use direct current. There are also variations in size, power output, and design depending on the specific application.
Yes, generators can be used to power a wide range of motors, including electric motors, combustion engines, and steam turbines. The type of motor will determine the type and size of the generator needed for efficient conversion of power to electricity.
Generators can actually improve the efficiency of a motor by converting excess or unused power into electricity, which can then be used for other purposes. However, generators do add some additional weight and complexity to the motor system, which can slightly decrease overall efficiency.
