No. Motors can be run in either direction, clockwise or counter clockwise.
However, mechanically spinning an electric motor will generate electric power.

What causes an outboard motor to lose power after running for 1 hour or so?
No gas?
What is torque equation in DC generators?
generally generator is used to generate power whether it is AC or DC . to generate energy it is necessary to rotate armature at constant speed . it can be achieved by motor or any engine.
What does the term Powertrain refer to?
The term Powertrain refers to a part embedded in a motor vehicle. This part is used to generate power and the power gets delivered to the surface of the road, water and air.
Why does your 3 phase compressor run backwards some times?
a three phase motor is reversed by switching 2 of the 3 power leads (any two) something is switching the power leads on you
Can I generate electricity with one 27KVA alternator and a big wheel which will run with 2HP motor?
You can generate electricity with a 27KVA alternator, a big wheel, and a 2HP motor, but you will not be able to even come close to generating 27KVA. The best you could hope for is about 1KVA or so, because a 2HP motor can only do about 1.5KW of work, and efficiency and power factor losses will make the output be even less.
Will an alternator work in either direction?
It may generate power if you run it backwards, but it won't cool properly
Capacitor?
capacitor is a power cell used to generate electricity in the motor of ceiling fan
How can water and wind be harnessed to generate electricity?
They both power turbines which rotate to generate electricity. A turbine works the same way as an electric motor.
How many kw can a 12 volt motor generate?
It depends on the current rating of the armature winding, which will determine its input power. It's output power then depends on the motor's efficiency.
What happens if you connect a starter motor backwards?
By connect a starter motor backwards I assume you mean put the negative cable where the positive cable would go and then put the positive cable to the negative connection. In that case the starter motor should run backwards. That might be a handy thing to do if you are using a starter motor to power something else such as a winch or maybe a pump.
Explain how water and wind can be harnessed to generate electricity?
They both power turbines which rotate to generate electricity. A turbine works the same way as an electric motor.
How reactive power drives active power?
reactive power depends on motor winding losses and the reason for increasing of temperature. At running condition the motor power reduces by copper loss.
Why is it necessary to keep the speed of a generator or motor to the rated value?
I'm not entirely positive, but increasing or changing the conserved rated speed of a generator or motor might generate high and intense heating, waste large amounts of power, and possibly will cease to produce the necessary torque to keep running.
Can rats running on rat wheels create power?
It is possible to produce some amount of electricity by attaching an electric motor to the wheel. As the motor run backwards, it will produce and electric current which you can monitor by using a small light bulb or an electric meter. However, the current produced will be on a very low intensity.
What causes an outboard motor to lose power after running for 1 hour or so?
No gas?
What can solar power generate?
solar power can generate electricity
When throttling the power cuts out on a pocket rocket motor?
running lean in other words motor isn't getting enough gas
