AC current-generator

An a.c. generator consists of a coil (or coils) of wire moving relative to a magnetic field. With this arrangement, a voltage is induced and this generates a current in a circuit.

In a bicycle dynamo, a magnet turns inside a coil of wire when the back wheel of the bicycle is turning.

 

You are going to make an AC generator.
