How do you invent the generator?

First, you will need the mini light bulb Second, you will need the crank Third, you'll need the metal lid Fourth, you will need the generator thingy Fifth, you will need a small PVC pipe Sixth, you will need a red and blue wire Last, you will need a crank Mini light bulb connected to the small PVC pipe, small PVC pipe connected to the rectangle plank, rectangle plank connected to a metal lid, metal lid connected to a crank, and crank connected to a blue and red wire. You will put the glue on the generator thingy. Put on the red wire connects to the blue wire And there! A generator


How does a dynamo flashlight work?

What device produces electrical energy?

A generator, alternator, or dynamo is a (usually)rotating machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.This is the principle behind electrical generation with the windmill, hydroelectric generator, crank generator. Ocean wave generators take advantage of the vertical motion of rising and falling water to achieve the same effect.


Will a 60kw generator that puts out 477v 3-phase power run a machine that requires 230460v 3-phase?

Crank the generator excitation up to 480 or down to 460. For calculations I used 480 volts. A 60kW generator at 480 volts will put out, kW x 1000/1.73 x E x (pf(.9)) = 80 amps. It looks like the machine that is to be run off the generator is a dual voltage machine. Not knowing the HP of the machine wire it to the 460 volt connection. The inrush current might be a problem if the HP is high.
