That depends on the sort of generator. Some use raw kinetic mechanical energy (windpower, waterpower, hampster-wheel power) to create electro-magnetic induction. Others use chemical energy to create kinetic energy (this would be like a coal or oil powered generator) which then generates inductance. There are also generators which use radioactive decay to generate heat, which is then converted to electricity. A solar panel is a sort of generator, too, which uses the chemical properties of the panel-material to turn light into electric potential.

Is there a generator out there that doesnt require any input energy?

no there must at least be an initial input to get it started.


When are two automatas are said to be non equivalent?

Two automata are different if, given the same input, their outputs are different.The inputs may include implicit inputs. For example, a random number generator may take a user input, but there may also be another input (eg from the computer clock) so that it generates a different sequence each time.Two automata are different if, given the same input, their outputs are different.The inputs may include implicit inputs.

What is the input of a generator?

Generators transform energy into electrical energy. The output of the generator is the electric power it "makes". The input is whatever is used to create mechanical energy to turn the "prime mover", or the thing that makes the generator spin (be it steam / thermal energy, water, wind, etc.).


What is the relation between motor and generator?

Motors and Generators are Transducers which convert one form of energy to another form. Constructionally both are same. Theoretically, same machine can function as both motor and generator depending upon the input it recieves. If it is supplied with mechanical input it gives out electrical output (Generator). If it is given electrical input, it gives out mechanical output (Motor).


How do you get hydroelectyricity?

Build a generator that uses the kinetic energy in water as it motivational input.


What happens if input to a generator is increased where it is synchronised to a powergrid whose Mw is fixed?

When input to generator increased when it is synchronised, speed of alternator get disturbed which inturn leads to the change in frequency,when frequency gets change synchronization is no long.


What is a signal generator for a speedometer?

if the speedometer works off of an input wave (sinusoidal signal) you would think the signal generator would be a source of reference
