What device is like the reverse of an electric motor?

A generator.


What is like the reverse of an of an electric motor?

A gas motor.


Can an electric motor run a generator to power itself if the motor has a small gear and the generator has a big gear?

I think it can work with a certain type of generator and an electric motor like one that uses 300w/h The idea is to run a generator that can produce more electricity than needed to run the motor that is powering it.


Can a motor act like an electric generator?

when the motor runs more than rated speed it produces leading current and results act as a generator. (or) the motor act as generator when it produces more back e.m.f


What is reverse power in generator and what happens in couse of reverse power?

Not necessarily. Reverse power simply means that the load is providing power to the generator, instead of the reverse. Its not a good place to be, because you waste the power needed to turn the generator, and you could damage it as well.


Which type of transmission drive is noiseless?

An electric drive motor which can propel you like a transmission is very close to silent in comparison. To go in reverse just reverse the polarity.


How does a generator act like a motor in syncronization process of disel generator?

this case called (reverse power ) and happen when there is a phase difference between parallel generators and results in passing a circuilating currents from the higher voltage one to the other which result that one to act as a motor


When the motor is doing some work at the same time can it generate power with help of another generator is this possible like this anything there?

You can't use a motor to power a generator and use the output of that generator to power the motor. Some energy will be lost at each step making the hookup pointless. But you can use a combustion engine to power an electric generator and use that electricity to power auxillary systems around the engine.


What is electric power generation?

An electric power generator is a generator the converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. That way you can get energy from the generator to produce electricity to places like your home.


What is a device that uses electricity to work?

That sounds like an electric motor.That sounds like an electric motor.That sounds like an electric motor.That sounds like an electric motor.


Is a electric motor use to change mechanical energy into electrical energy?

No, that is a Generator. A motor is used to turn electrical energy into a rotissary action. A car wheel is a motor, as it uses the electrical energy from the battery, and the chemical energy from the fuel to turn the wheel. A generator is something like a wind turbine, as it turns the rotissary action of the turbine from the wind into electricity.


Is it possible to combine both motor and generator into single device?

It is possible, but in general it would be fairly pointless unless you want a very specific type of application The simplest way to do what you're proposing would be to have a motor spin an axle, and connect that axle to the generator's input. But because of the fact no system is loss-less you would be losing energy to friction and hysteresis and resistance you would be losing energy if you have a motor power its own generator. On the other hand this device could then be connected to a battery bank (through proper voltage regulators and a rectifier) and it would be possible to either charge the cells (by connecting the generator and spinning the axle) or run the motor (by discharging the cells through the motor). This is a little like the principle behind regenerative breaking in an electric car. Also, every generator is ALSO a motor, in a way, it simply depends how it's hooked up. Any AC electric motor could theoretically be turned into a generator.
