The old fashioded way: kite+key+crazy guy+storm=electricity or placing wires in a lemon and around a light bulb. It's a pretty cool experiment if you haven't tried it yet.
I can think of two ways to do that:1). Place a burning candle near a photovoltaic (solar) cell. The cell will convertsome of the heat and light energy from the candle flame to electrical energy.2). This one is more complicated and takes more ancillary peripheral stuff.-- Use the burning candle to heat and boil a container of water.-- Guide the steam from the boiling water through the fan of a small turbine generator.
There are many different ways to heat water hot enough to produce steam to turn a turbine, including:heat energy produced by burning coalheat energy produced by waste incinerationheat energy produced by a controlled nuclear chain reactionheat energy extracted from hot rocks deep undergroundconverting sunlight to heat energyThere are relatively few ways that the steam is converted back to water.
Generally, a power plant involves using heat to produce steam and in turn this steam is used to turn a turbine. This turbine can be used to spin a magnet inside a metal coil. When you pass a magnet through a metal coil, electricity is produced inside the coil. The heat can be made in any number of ways: burning some kind of fuel, a nuclear reactor, a solar furnace. It doesn't really matter as far as the turbine end of the plant is concerned.Well I should say that it really does matter cause im a profecional scientist.Dr.Lopez
