There are two ways. If you want to increase the frequency by a huge amount and you want to do it on a permanent basis, install more magnets. An alternator that has one pair of field magnets and that turns at 3600rpm will generate 60-hertz electricity. If you put two pair of field magnets in it and turn it 3600rpm, it will generate 120-hertz electricity, and so on and so forth. (The other side of that is, if you want a certain frequency of electricity, the more pairs of magnets you install the slower the alternator has to turn. Install four pair of magnets in the generator, and you only need to run the engine at 900rpm--which makes it much quieter, a big advantage if the generator belongs to the army.) If you just need to adjust it a little, simply rev up the engine. If you have a generator that makes 60hz power at 3600rpm, accelerating the generator to 3660rpm will cause it to make 61hz electricity.

Alternating current changes direction on a set frequency such as 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 400 Hz. Direct current always flows in one direction.
HZ. Hertz is the name given to the frequency of the alternating circuit. Direct current (DC) has no frequency since one wire is always positive and the other is always negative; but AC (Alternating Current) rapidly changes polarity, and does so at a rate that is defined by HZ.
Direct current and Alternating both are diffrent . Alternating current changes it's cycle 50 times in both direction in one second while the direct current doesn't change it's phase or frequecncy because it is free from frequency or frequency less(direct current).
a high power, often class C amplifier.
Dear Friend, we can observe over speed when frequency is increase in alternating current ANSWER: You will see that the time between peaks will shorten up. If rectified the amount of capacitance to reduce ripple will decrease.
Alternating Current is measured in Amperes.
A frequency converter is a power electronic device. It transforms Direct current to Alternating current of desired frequency and magnitude.
-- There's no such thing as 'indirect' current.-- Direct current has no frequency. As soon as you mention 'frequency',you're talking about alternating current.
Strobe lights use ac or alternating current to flash. The frequency of 50 Hz is alternating current's frequency, coming in handy for its flashing.

A frequency converter converts "alternating current (AC) of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency." (Wikipedia) They are used to control the torque and speed of AC Motors. For more information go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer.
In the US AC current oscillates at 60 Hz.http://www.answers.com/alternating+current

No. A transformer has to have AC, alternating current, to work. And since it's alternating, it'll have a frequency.
Alternating current changes direction on a set frequency such as 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 400 Hz. Direct current always flows in one direction.
Capacitive reactance (expressed in ohms) is inversely-proportional to the supply frequency, so it will decrease when the frequency increases. The following equation applies:XC = 1/(2 pi f C)where:XC = capacitive reactance, in ohmsf = frequency, in hertzC = capacitance, in farads
