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.

Can I combine 2 110v 15 amp outlets on a generator to power a single 30 amp 110v outlet on my boat?
The short answer, no. The long answer - A 15a 110v current tap can supply approximately 1650 watts. A 30a 110v load would assume a demand of 3300 watts. Splicing multiple cables together to supply this load would be an unsafe practice, as it would be possible for one or the other cables, or receptacles to become overloaded, creating a possible fire hazard. Assuming the generator is rated above that load demand, it would be much safer to add a correctly rated outlet to the generator, and utilize a properly rated cord for connection.
Why does it take several redox reactions in a cell to make water from hydrogen?
Hydrogen and oxygen combine explosively in a single reaction.
What's more beneficial a whole house generator or single gas generator?
I have done a little bit of research on this, and can tell you that a whole house generator is the way to go, if you can afford it. They are hardwired into your home's electrical system, and will usually run your whole house. A single use generator is usually very noisy, and limited as to how much it can power at one time in your home.
What will happen if you use phase to phase voltage for a single phase device?
Phase to phase, two wire is classed as single phase. If the voltage from the phase to phase match the device's operating voltage, then connecting the device will allow it to operate.

Decomposition
Is it possible 2 combine all past current and future energy types into one All energy type Machine Hybrid Generator Etc or something?
It is not clear what exactly you want to combine. Currently, energy from different sources is combined, for transportation purposes, into electricity. If you want to REPLACE all energy sources by a single source, that doesn't seem practical, at least for now. No single energy source can satisfy all our needs.
What will happen if 2 phase load is connected to generator?
There is no such thing as a two phase load any more. Any two legs from a three phase system are classed as single phase. If this single phase load is connected across the generator it will induce an imbalance in the output voltages of the generator. This is one reason that single phase loads on a three phase generator should be shifted around to find the best possible balance.
How do you reverse single phase ac motor to generator?
how reversing an ac single phase induction motor to wark as induction generator
Can a diesel generator for elevators run on single phase?
If the elevator has a single-phase motor, the diesel generator can also be single phase provided the voltage and VA ratings are compatible.
What is Pulse generator a?
a generator of single or multiple voltage pulses; usually adjustable for pulse rate
Should residential backup generator in the US be single phase?
The type of backup generator should match the type of utility service you receive. If your utility power is single-phase (almost all residences in the US are), then yes, your generator should be single-phase as well.
When two companies combine to form a single company is called what?
When two companies combine to form a single company, it is called an amalgamation or merger.

What generator is suitable for a 2 HP single phase motor?
Any single-phase a.c. generator producing more than 2.5 HP or 2 kW - at the required voltage.
What is single phase ac generator?
It's an electrical generator converting mechanical power into electrical power. The electrical power comes out in the form of single-phase alternating current.
Why does it take several redox reactions in a cell to make water from hydrogen?
Hydrogen and oxygen combine explosively in a single reaction.
Live streaming of video over bluetooth is possible?
Yes, it is possible. Bluetooth has a user profile called VDP that defines the standard for it. The problem is its an optional profile and I don't know of a single device that supports it.
