The wirey copper thingy is part of the black magic pieces call a "Stator". Another part called a "rotor" is inside the stator and agitates the little demons that live there through some kind of voodoo called inductance. The demons go running around the wire part (stator) screaming bloody death until they finally come out of of it looking for something to kill (they are called AC here for Angry Cherubs), the only exit is the black wires to the bottom of the picture that tricks the demons into going into a "regulator/rectifier" that calms the demons and makes them cooperative (Domesticated Cherubs) thus DC. This is the source of such tunes as "Back in Black" and "She Shook me all night long". It also makes headlights and spark plugs work.
Anyway, the small black plastic item to the right of the stator is a housing that olds two electric pick-up brushes that rub on the face of the rotor. Unfortunately, as you can see in the following picture one of the brushes is fractured and will need to be replaced. Honda part price? $30.00. Ouch.
