If the DC motor is a permanent-magnet motor, simply spin it using some source if mechanical motion. It will generate voltage. You could spin it with your hand, a windmill, a water wheel, another motor, etc.

∙ 14y agoDepending on how the magnetic field of the stator is created, some types of DC motor can be used to generate electricity.
If the magnetic field is created either by a permanent magnet or by a field winding that is powered from another source, such as a battery supplying the correct voltage, then that type of motor can usually be made to work as a "dynamo" to generate electricity if it is made to turn fast enough by using another source of power such as, for example, a gas- or steam-powered engine.

Can a ac motor produce electricity?
Technically YES. But the source of power in Electric cars being DC through batteries, the motor must be DC and not AC.
What is a DC generator the same as?
A DC generator, or "dynamo", is very similar to a DC electric motor but cannot be described as "exactly the same as a motor" because a DC generator's designed purpose is not to "use" electricity (which a DC motor does) but to "make", or "produce", electricity.
What supplies direct current?
device what produce dc are battrey genorators
What is DC motor?
A DC motor is an electric motor that runs on direct current (DC) electricity. A DC motor is designed to run on DC electric power. Two examples of pure DC designs are Michael Faraday's homopolar motor (which is uncommon), and the ball bearing motor, which is (so far) a novelty. By far the most common DC motor types are the brushed and brushless types, which use internal and external commutation respectively to reverse the current in the windings in synchronism with rotation.
How DC motor converted into DC generator?
Both dc generator & dc motor are the same and known dc machine.when we give an electrical supply to the dc machine a torque developed due to flux intraction & works as motor.but we used dc machine as a generator we rotate the rotor or prime mover by using external sourse.due to this the rotor conductors cut by the stationary magnetic field and electrical power is generated as per faradays law.Here the main difference is when we giving electrical energy to the rotor of dc machine produce torque(motor)but when we give the mechanical energy to rotor it produce electrical energy(generator)
Can a ac motor produce electricity?
Technically YES. But the source of power in Electric cars being DC through batteries, the motor must be DC and not AC.
Can a motor works as a generator?
since the physical construction of a DC motor and DC generator is the same,it can work either way.in other words,yes a DC motor can work as a DC generator(if you drive it by a primemover it will produce electricity).however its not possible with all AC motors.
Is the current produced by a dc motor the same as the current given to it?
A motor uses electricity; it does not produce it. If you are somehow using a DC motor as a generator, then it will produce power equal to the input power minus the motor losses. If the input power is you spinning the rotor, the output power will be directly proportional to how much work you put into spinning the rotor.
What is the minimum speed of the 6v motor to produce electricity?
The minimum speed of 6v motor to produce electricity is 15 Mph.
What is a DC generator the same as?

Why will a dc motor produce v but not an ac motor?
Motors do not produce voltage, current, or power. They use them.they produce mechanical output.
How do car generators work?
A car generator is a DC motor. If you apply power to a working DC motor, it will turn the armature and produce work. If you turn the armature of a working DC motor, it will produce power. Generators in cars were replaced during the early 1960's with alternators.
Can a 6 watt dc generator produce that much electricity which can be used to run a 3 phase and a 2 phase motor?
"2 phase" and "3 phase" are descriptions of AC supplies, which no DC generator can imitate, regardless of its power rating.
Can a motor work as a generator?
Turn the shaft ;)A brushed-commutator dc motor can be turned into a generator by connecting its shaft to another source of power to make it turn at the correct speed.A diesel or gas engine - or another type of electric motor, such one that runs on 120V or 240V single phase ac - could be suitable.

Is it diesel generators is DC or AC generators?
Most diesel generators are designed to produce alternating current (AC) electricity. However, there are some diesel generators that can also produce direct current (DC) electricity with the help of rectifiers or inverters.
