Learn how to create both AC and DC wind generators in this comprehensive guide! This video demonstrates the step-by-step ...

Have you ever wondered what made car manufacturers decide to go from dynamos to alternators for generating electricity? It's a mix of reliability and cost.

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 ...

This dual-fuel model is quiet and built to power sensitive devices and smart appliances. It’s also $1000, which makes it a ...

The harnessing of electricity has played a pivotal role in human history and has exponentially expedited our growth as a species. Since becoming a household commodity in the late 19th century, ...

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 ...

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 ...

An electric current can be induced in in a coil of wire by moving a magnet in and out of the coil. AC generators are used in the generation of electricity and in their simplest form consist of a coil ...
