Best Answer

Some types of motor can work equally well as a generator. A DC motor runs on a DC supply and supplies a mechanical load. If the load is removed the motor will free-run a little faster. But if the shaft is then driven faster than that, the current flows the opposite way and the motor has become a generator.
