Air-Powered Levitating LEGO Generator is More Than Just an Optical Illusion
This air-powered levitating LEGO generator is more than just an optical illusion, but rather a functional device that converts air into electricity. Technically speaking, this generator uses air as a mechanical energy source at its core to drive a rotor, which then produces electricity through electromagnetic induction.
A rotor made from LEGO Technic parts that levitates allows it to spin more freely and efficiently when powered by air. The air then flows through a crude turbine constructed from LEGO pieces, thus causing the rotor to spin when pushed against the turbine blades. Electricity generation occurs due to the spinning rotor being paired with the magnets and coils.

In industrial generators, like the alternator of a car, brushes are used to activate an electromagnet on the rotor, which creates a magnetic field. If the speed of the generator is higher, the brushes inject a lower voltage into the rotor, so the voltage is regulated,” said one commenter.
