Discover how to build a simple electromagnetic motor and generator using everyday materials in this hands-on science experiment. Follow the detailed steps to assemble a motor with a plastic bottle cap ...

[Robert Murray-Smith] doesn’t like the price of inverters to convert DC to AC. That led him to build a dynamotor, or what is sometimes called a motor-generator set. These devices are just DC motors ...

There are several reasons to consider using brushed DC motors as generators in particular applications, notes Sunil Kedia of Portescap in a new Machine Design article. “Brushed DC motors are less ...

California judge rules that Tesla engaged in deceptive marketing around Autopilot Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles says ...

Everyone knows that if you spin the shaft of a DC motor, it will generate power. [Vapsvus] has found a novel way to do this with no direct mechanical connection to the shaft. He simply taped a loop of ...

Engineering efforts to simulate radial-flux machines concentrate on inherently 2D problems. Most of the 2D FEA software is good for "quick-and-easy" solutions demanded by shorter design schedules.

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) recently published 2018 updates to ANSI/NEMA MG 1 Motors and Generators. NEMA’s flagship Standard, MG 1 assists users in the proper selection ...

Equipment: Two Genecon motor/generators (a handheld device that can be used as a motor or a generator), a 6V bulb and a bi-colored LED (a red and green LED connected back-to-back in a single package).

Any stepper motor can be used as a generator. In contrast to other generators, a stepper motor produces a large induced voltage even at low rotational speeds. The type used here, with a DC resistance ...
