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 ...

Discover the fascinating process of creating your very own DC motor or generator in this detailed instructional video. Whether you're a budding engineer, a DIY enthusiast, or a curious student, you’ll ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Description: Hand cranked device that may be used as an AC or DC generator, or as a motor. This thing originally came with some kind of electromagnet which disappeared years ago. I have stuck a couple ...
