Hi, what can I use to convert the kinetic energy into eletric energy?

[@Techmodels-x2u]

@@ms.jeovanamuzy5606 You can use a DC motor to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy by using whatever means to turn the shaft of the motor
Kinetic energy in this example is the energy of the turning wheel of the shaft which I made with bottle caps, now to convert the kinetic energy to electrical energy you'll need a DC motor that can work also as a generator,
Not all DC motors can be good enough for a generator,
A DC motor works by putting in electrical energy into the terminals that will make the shaft to spin, but you can also use the same DC motor as a generator by turning the shaft of the motor and a voltage will be given out through the terminals, now to turn the shaft, there are various ways to do so, you can do so by water just as in the video, or by wind/air just as wind turbines or by gravity, just so many ways to do that, I'm yet to cover so many other varieties of ways to generate electricity,
But thanks for the question, hope this helps, if not let me know
