Design engineers know that both brush DC and brushless DC (BLDC) motors can operate as generators, but many tend to avoid running brushed DC motors in generating mode because they believe it is ...

Researchers have developed a new type of small-scale electric power generator able to produce alternating current through the cyclical stretching and releasing of zinc oxide wires encapsulated in a ...

When it comes to efficiency and durability, car manufacturers found that alternators are the superior option for generating ...

The LT3954, a DC/DC converter designed to operate as a constant-current source and constant-voltage regulator with an internal 5A switch, is now available from Linear Technology. The LT3954, a DC/DC ...

Modern automotive alternators have a voltage regulator built into them. Typical car alternators generate the field using a DC current through slip rings. The field current is much smaller than the ...

In a dynamo, a split ring commutator changes the coil connections every half turn. As the induced potential difference is about to change direction, the connections are reversed. This means that the ...

Learn how to create both AC and DC wind generators in this comprehensive guide! This video demonstrates the step-by-step process of building wind generators that harness both alternating and direct ...

Abstract: The aero DC starter generator works in the high altitude environment of water shortage and oxygen deficiency. The commutator spark generated by high current and high speed causes the high ...
