Big wind turbines (as those in a wind farm) generate ac, because it is easier to connect them to the grid.
Most of the home turbines generate dc (trough a dc generator or an ac generator and a rectifier) i believe this is because they are often used to charge batteries.
The usual way to get ac out of a home dc wind turbine is using a power inverter, just as a photovoltaic system.
What else can I help you with?
Why are steam turbines unable to produce direct current?
Steam turbines cannot directly produce direct current (DC) because they inherently generate alternating current (AC) due to the rotating motion of the turbine blades. To convert this AC output to DC, a device called a rectifier is needed. Rectifiers use diodes to change the flow of current, converting the AC produced by the steam turbine into DC suitable for most applications.
Device that converts energy of motion into an electrical energy?
An electrical generator, these can produce AC or DC electric current.
Is it possible to design a wind turbine involving a power electronic converter that will function typically in the US operating at 240V in residential households or in other settings?
Yes. The output voltage will not always be 240 volts - it will fluctuate. Plus a typical wind turbine throws out some harmonics due to the AC/DC/AC design necessary to convert it from speed of blade rotating to a constant 60 Hz. If you are building this all yourself, for you own home use, and especially if you wish to disconnect from the grid, It might be best to build the turbine to AC/DC and charge a battery bank. A reverse charging protection schemed needs to be set up for when the DC voltage dips below the battery voltage (when the wind isn't blowing). A large home-sized DC-AC converter would be used to power the home off the battery bank, then. This scheme would protect the home from the harmonic output from the wind turbine (which could damage sensitive electronics like computers, LCDs, etc.).
ABS sensor produce AC voltage or DC voltage?
AC !
How is AC current generated?
AC voltage, making AC current available, may be generated in several ways: * AC generator driven by * Steam turbine * Diesel motor * Petrol motor * Water turbine * Inverter from a DC source

What is the voltage of a car alternator and is it ac or DC?
It should produce 14.5v +/- and it's DC.
Is it possible to get a battery to produce ac current?
No. Batteries can only produce dc current which can further be converted to AC using inverters.
Is it diesel generators is DC or AC generators?
Most diesel generators are designed to produce alternating current (AC) electricity. However, there are some diesel generators that can also produce direct current (DC) electricity with the help of rectifiers or inverters.
Does a car run on AC or DC?
The power supply in most cars is DC. The alternator may produce AC power, but it is then run through a rectifier, providing DC power.
How DC generator produces DC current from ac current?
DC GERATORS PRODUCE DC current with the help of spilt ring commutators.
What is the difference between alternators and dynamos?
Alternators produce AC, which is rectified by diodes if DC is needed. Dynamos produce DC by using a commutator.
