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 ...

[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 ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

Discover the fascinating process of creating your very own DC motor or generator in this detailed instructional video.

Any electrical motor, from an idealized viewpoint, consists of two sets of magnets—one set stationary, one set free to move—placed in special geometric relation to one another. For most practical ...

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 ...

We're always on the lookout for cool new things, and we found a cool new thing at the 2020 Adventure Expo in Costa Mesa, California. It's the small, quiet, propane-fired ALP by ProPower LLC inverter ...

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 ...
