How do you convert mechanical enrgy to electrical?

A generator.

there are many ways:



- generator (AC or DC, does not matter, dynamo is same category)



- using friction one can get static charge



- use friction to produce light then use photovoltaic cells (not efficient but in principle doable)



- use friction to produce heat and the use thermocouple



etc

you need a generator or alternator, which rotary mechanical energy to electrical energy. There is one in ever automobile.

A dynamo.
