Christine and Scott Gable are hybrid auto and alternative fuel experts who have brewed their own biodiesel and traveled 125,000 miles on waste vegetable oil. Electric vehicles rely exclusively on ...

In this informative and hands-on video, we'll guide you through the process of building an AC generator at home using a DC motor. You’ll discover the fascinating science behind electricity generation ...

In this fascinating tutorial, learn step-by-step how to make a small AC generator using magnet energy. Discover the ...

[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 ...

Utility power plant generators are usually designed for a power factor (PF) of .8 to .9. If demand-side PF is lower than the designed PF, the generator current will rise above the equipment's rated ...

DC machines can be classified as self-excited, separately excited, permanent magnet (PM), and brushless. Self-excited machines can be further classified as shunt, series, and compound. Compound ...

For dc motors, there are two electrical (nonfriction) methods to bring a machine to a controlled stop. These include dynamic braking (DB) and regenerative braking. For ac motors, the choices are more ...
