What type of energy is a gas-powered generator used to convert?
It changes mechanical energy into electrical energy. Hope that helps.
Convert watts to hp?
746 Watts per HP. I like to calculate in some leeway though, so when calculating horsepower required to drive a generator, I figure a 10kw generator will require a 10HP engine.
What you need to change in the generator to convert from 50 Hz to 60Hz?
The frequency is based on the RPM (speed) of the generator. If you over ride the governor on bigger generator or move the speed control upwards on smaller units you will be able to reach 60 Hz. Keep in mind though the voltage will increase also.
How does a generator convert mechanical energy into electrical energy?
An electric generator is a device used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, Which is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator is based on the principle of "electromagnetic induction" discovered in 1831 by Michael Faraday, a British scientist. Faraday discovered that if an electric conductor, like a copper wire, is moved through a magnetic field, electric current will flow (be induced) in the conductor. So the mechanical energy of the moving wire is converted into the electric energy of the current that flows in the wire.
How is alternative current prodused in a battery?
A battery by itself will only supply DC output. You would need a method to convert DC to AC, such as an inverter, in simplified terms: an electronic circuit which has an oscillator to create the desired frequency then amplifies it to the desired magnitude output. Another way, which I don't know if used anymore, is a motor-generator set. A DC motor's shaft is connected to an AC generator's shaft, and the output is taken from the AC generator.
What is difference between generator and oscillator?
A generator is used to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. An oscillator is used to convert dc to ac
How do you convert a DC generator to ac alternator?
Turn the DC generator inside out and you have an alternator .
How do you convert ac generator to dc generator?
Such conversions are often inefficient and/or expensive. It requires an external power supply or battery charger to convert AC into DC.
What devices can convert energy into electrical energy?
generator
What device is used to convert kinetic to electrical?
a generator.
Is generator a transducer?
no... generator cannot be a transducer. Transducer is a device that converts one type of energy into another. Whereas generator is a device which convert any form of energy into electrical energy..
Does dynamo have a wife?
Dynamo is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Its a generator. How can a generator have a wife?
What devices convert chemical energy to mechanical energy?
Generator
How can you convert a 220v 50hz generator to a 220v 60hz?
you can't
A typical way to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy is to?
A generator.
How can you convert Electrical energy to nuclear energy?
A power plant generator
Does a rectifier have the ability to convert DC to AC?
No. For that, you need an inverter or a generator.
