use a inverter to change dc to ac or couple it to a ac motor making it a motor generator.
Comment:
AC motors cannot run on DC since their principle of operation based on induction. There's an exception,however, and thats for Universal Series motor which can run on either AC or DC.

What is the different between ac dc motors?
DC Motor works on DC source and AC motor works on AC source
Why the universal motor work dc and ac?
that is the point of being universal
Fan works on ac or DC?
It depends on the motor. The fan is driven by an electric motor, and it can use a dc motor (as in a car) or an ac motor (as in a house). They are not interchangeable.
What will happen if you use AC voltage instead of DC voltage?
For some equipment it doesn't matter, other types of equipment will be destroyed. For a simple electric heater or an incandescent bulb AC or DC are acceptable, provided the rms voltage of the AC is equal to the DC voltage. If the heater has a time switch, DC is unacceptable. A DC motor may or may not work with AC depending on its type and size. The commutator motor as used in vacuum cleaners is essentially a DC motor, but most types of AC motor are not interchangeable to DC. Electronic circuits usually required a DC supply and if AC is applied many of the components will be destroyed.
What happens when dc is given to ac motor?
motor will not rotate
Can DC series motor work on ac and DC and why?
A dc series motor can work on dc and ac because dc motors are totally reversible.
Can a dc motor work in ac?
No it cant
When ac motor is connected with DC supply?
Basically AC motors would not work on DC supply but there's however an exception for a Universal motor also known as a series motor. This is the only motor as far as I know that work on both AC and DC.
How does a DC brushless motor work?
To state it simply, a DC brushless motor is not a DC motor. It is an AC motor with an inverter (or electronic commutator) on the front end to make the AC, so you can use a DC input.
What is a motor design that works with either an AC source or a DC source?
A variable speed module in a motor can work with ac or dc source
What is the different between ac dc motors?
DC Motor works on DC source and AC motor works on AC source
What will happen if you will give ac supply to dc shunt motor?
it will not work.
Why the universal motor work dc and ac?
that is the point of being universal
What is AC motor and DC motor?
AC stands for alternating current, and DC is direct current. A motor is a device that uses electrical energy to spin. An AC motor uses AC voltage, and a DC motor uses DC voltage. http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Difference-Between-AC-and-DC-Electric-Motors&id=193767
Which is more effecient an ac motor or a dc motor?
ac
How do you differentiat dc motior and ac motor physicaly?
if you power an ac motor with dc or a dc motor with ac you will likely start smelling smoke and the motor will be damaged. If the motor is marked "3-phase", "shaded pole", or "induction" it is an ac motor! BTW, there are ac/dc motors that will run on both, they are wound very much like dc motors but a bit differently.
How do you change an ac motor to a DC motor?
Ac motor have slip ring, to remove the slip ring,connected to the commutator its a dc motor.
