He mau mea hana mīkini nā mīkini hana e hoʻololi i nā ʻano ikehu ʻē aʻe i ikehu uila. Hoʻokele ʻia lākou e kahi turbine wai, turbine mahu, mīkini diesel a i ʻole nā mīkini mana ʻē aʻe a hoʻololi i ka ikehu i hana ʻia e ke kahe wai, ke kahe ea, ka puhi ʻana o ka wahie a i ʻole ka fission nuklea i ikehu mechanical i hoʻouna ʻia i kahi mīkini hana, kahi i hoʻololi ʻia i ikehu uila.
Hoʻohana nui ʻia nā mīkini hana i ka hana ʻoihana a me ka mahiʻai, ka pale kaua aupuni, ka ʻepekema a me ka ʻenehana a me ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā. Loaʻa nā mīkini hana i nā ʻano he nui, akā ua hoʻokumu ʻia kā lākou mau loina hana ma ke kānāwai o ka hoʻokomo electromagnetic a me ke kānāwai o ka ikaika electromagnetic. No laila, ʻo ke kumumanaʻo nui o kona kūkulu ʻana: me nā mea magnetic a me nā mea conductive kūpono e hana i ka magnetic induction magnetic circuit a me ke kaapuni, i mea e hoʻoulu ai i ka mana electromagnetic, e hoʻokō i ke kumu o ka hoʻololi ikehu. ʻO ka mea hana maʻamau i haku ʻia me ka stator, rotor, end cap a me ka bearing.
ʻO ke stator ka ʻiʻo stator, ka wili o ka ʻōwili uea, ke kiʻikuhi a me nā ʻāpana kūkulu ʻē aʻe e hoʻopaʻa ana i kēia mau ʻāpana
Ua haku ʻia ka rotor me kahi wili ʻiʻo rotor (a i ʻole ka pou magnetic, magnetic choke), kahi apo kiaʻi, kahi apo waena, kahi apo paheʻe, kahi peʻahi a me kahi ʻau wili, a pēlā aku.
ʻO ka uhi a me ka uhi hope ka stator o ka mea hana, ua pili pū ka rotor, i hiki i ka rotor ke hoʻohuli i loko o ka stator, e hana i ka neʻe ʻana o ka ʻoki ʻana i ka laina magnetic o ka ikaika, a pēlā e hana ai i ka hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia, ma o ke alakaʻi terminal, i pili i loko o ka loop, e hana i ke au.
