/k/ here, I know that there is some way you can change a traditional electric motor to make it an electric generator, and I feel like this would be helpful in a SHTF scenario, does anybody have any sources on how to do this or how generators in general work?

If you're talking about a DC motor, then you just drive the shaft and wire it backwards.

You don't even have to wire it backwards. Just drive the shaft, and it'll feed voltage back into the system. You might have to open up the motor to modify the gear train, though.
At the front end, there's the problem of what will turn the shaft, and at the back end, there's the problem of how you'll store the power.
