Yes.

Certain types of motor. The best for this are DC motors with a permanent magnet field.

DC motors with a field windings, need an excitation voltage to produce power.

Simply rotate the motor, with an external force and DC current comes out of where you normally put power in.

AC motors, induction motors, (squirrel cage type, typically used for domestic fans) are no good.

What can change an ac current to a DC current?

rectifierac motor - dc generator set


How does ac electric motor convert in to an alternator?

a motor is a generator and a generator is a motor, if you are applying a voltage to turn the rotor its a motor and if you are turning the rotor and taking the voltage off the terminals its a generator or alternator.


Why is a motor is a reverse function of generator?

from Faraday's laws its clear that when ever there is change in flux, an emf is produced. in a dc motor there are permanent magnets that produce a magnetic flux. If the shaft of the motor is rotated, which in tern rotates the coil that is placed in the magnetic field. Thus, changing the flux that cuts the coil. since there is change in flux an emf is induced.thus, a dc motor can be used as a generator.


Can you use a dc generator as a dc motor?

Yes you can turn a motor into a generator, if it is a permanent magnet motor.


Is it possible that you use motor as a generator input and electricity of the generator provide to a motor as a input?

If I'm understanding the question, you are proposing using one motor and one generator, and have the motor spin the generator up to speed, and have the generator attempt to supply power to the motor. The answer is yes, you can do this, but you will be losing energy, not gaining it. The motor and generator's efficiencies are less than 100%, so once you remove the outside source they will slow down until they come to a complete stope, without any other load connected other than themselves.

What size of generator to run 5.5kw 400v 50Hz motor?

You need a 5.5kw generator to run a 5.5kw motor.


How is a motor different from a generator and how is a generator different then a mot or?

A motor takes electricity and creates rotating motion. A generator takes rotating motion and turns it into electricity.


Can an electric motor run a generator to power itself if the motor has a small gear and the generator has a big gear?

I think it can work with a certain type of generator and an electric motor like one that uses 300w/h The idea is to run a generator that can produce more electricity than needed to run the motor that is powering it.
