Abstract
Mechanical energy is supplied to an implement on a rotating spindle, and a generator on the implement converts the mechanical energy into electric power. Preferably the energy is supplied in the form of rotary motion via the work spindle. Alternatively, a fluent medium, for example, coolant or compressed air, can be supplied, in which case the medium is used to drive a turbine wheel coupled to the generator.
