A dynamo takes in motion and outputs electricity and a motor takes in electricity and outputs motion. A dynamo converts mechanical energy to electric energy while a motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.

Difference between ac dynamo and dc dynamo?

1. AC Dynamo has full rings whereas DC Dynamo has split rings. 2. AC Dynamo produces alternating current whereas DC Dynamo produces direct current. 3. IN AC DYNAMO, CURRENT KEEPS CHANGING EVERY HALF OF A CYCLE WHEREAS IN DC DYNAMO, CURRENT FLOWS IN SAME DIRECTION.

Yes it can and the otherway aroud a DC motor can be used as a dynamo


Can electricity be regenerated by connecting electric motor to a dynamo?

The question is mine......take one dynamo and a motor (both of them are DC).. If The Dynamo is 12v and the motor is 9v...and connect together.....means the rotating shaft of a motor is connecting using a belt then the other end connected to the rotating shaft of the dynamo ......connect the wire parallel......let start... take a cotton thread of 15 cm ...then round the thread on dynamo rotating shaft the pull it....the current from dynamo flows to motor that action make the motor rotates but not constant.....


Can a 9 volt motor rotate 9 volt dynamo?

Are you going to use the 9-volt motor as a dynamo, and the 9-volt dynamo as a motor? Yes, the motor can rotate the dynamo because DC motors and DC generators are actually the same thing--they just apply power to the terminals of a motor to make it turn, and turn the shaft of a generator to make power appear at the terminals. Having said that, if you're going to try to connect the shaft of a 9v motor to the shaft of a 9v dynamo, and use the dynamo to power the motor so as to create a perpetual motion machine...that won't work. The motor wastes a little bit of energy, as does the dynamo. It is possible to build a device that uses a motor to drive an alternator, which is the AC version of a dynamo. You power the motor from the AC grid, and power something that's very sensitive to noise on the line from the alternator. This is called a Motor Generator set, and it's how they powered Cray-1 supercomputers.

How do you make a dynamo?

To make a dynamo, a small hobby motor is needed. The small hobby motor is then mounted on a board of wood and then connected to a bigger wheel. The handle is then fixed and the motor connected to a voltage regulator.
