I will assume you are speaking of the electric generator. The famous inventor of this useful device is none other than Michael Faraday. I found a few interesting biographical articles you may wish to browse through:

Also, you may want to view some pages that show in detail what a generator looks like inside and out:
This page has some more complicated explanations along with a nice video.

If you need any more information, feel free to ask some more :)
