energy?)  Questions and Answers Main Index  Next Question  (What
is the fastest type of energy?)  What is the fastest type of
energy?  Do rotating magnets create energy? Where can I find
more information on this subject?  The first law of
thermodynamics is that matter/energy cannot be "created" or
destroyed. We can convert energy from one form to another. For
instance, in a car, we convert chemical energy (actually the
binding energy of electrons) to heat, which in turn is converted
to kinetic energy (motion).  Your question has a similar answer.
When you rotate a magnet, you are using kinetic energy to move
it. This kinetic energy can be converted to electrical energy by
taking advantage of the properties of electromagnetism. Since
you can't "create" energy, the amount of electrical energy
produced will always be the same or less than the amo
