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.

How can an ac generator be converted to DC generator?

It may not be possible to physically convert AC generator to DC generator. What can be done is that 'Rectifier' of suitable capacity can be connected to the out put of AC generator to get DC supply.


Can you amplify the electricity when you have only very small power supply or any mechanism for it?

you really can't amplify electricity. You can amplify sound but that is different. You can change the voltage but the actual power will not change because as voltage is raised current is reduced. you can only increase power by increasing the mechanical input to a generator which will increase the electrical power as well. The conservation on energy says that power cannot just be created. It needs to come from some where either mechanical or thermal. Following the conservation of energy, you can convert kinetic energy into electric energy using a (relatively) small amount of electricity - this is what a synchronous generator does. A small amount of electricity is used to create a magnetic field; the stronger this field, the more energy can be "pushed out" of the generator; this energy must come from the kinetic energy stored in the spinning machine. In this way, a synchronous generator can be thought of as an electricity "amplifier".


What is a signal generator for a speedometer?

if the speedometer works off of an input wave (sinusoidal signal) you would think the signal generator would be a source of reference

What is the difference between transformer and generator and motor?

A motor is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, therefore creating motion. A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy via the method of magnetic induction. You should probably check up Michael Faraday and Lenz. Or maybe look in a HSC Year 12 text book like Jacaranda.

Design principles of function generator?

A: A function generator do just that output a function from any input. It can be as simple as sine wave, square wave, sawtooth, and ramp generator principle is to provide amplifiers that the output are gated to limits allows sum and subtract the input to provide the desired function. It looks more like an analogue computer when finished if it is very complex in design.


How to give mechanical input to the generator?

You can provide mechanical input to a generator by connecting it to a rotating source, such as a turbine or an engine, using a drive shaft. The rotation of the source will then be converted into electrical energy by the generator through the process of electromagnetic induction. Proper alignment and sizing of the mechanical components are essential to ensure efficient power generation.


What changes to an electric generator are required to increase frequency?

To increase the frequency output of an electric generator, the speed of rotation needs to be increased. This can be achieved by either increasing the mechanical input driving the generator, such as through a higher rotational speed or by adjusting the number of rotor poles in the generator. These changes will result in the generator producing electricity at a higher frequency.


What is an example of an energy input to a generator?

Why does the generator produce electricity?

Because it is rotating a coil of wire in a magnetic field, and this produces an electric current. It has to be driven by some sort of mechanical engine, which provides the input power.

How can I use a game tree generator to analyze and strategize my gameplay effectively?

To use a game tree generator for analyzing and strategizing gameplay effectively, input the game's rules and possible moves into the generator. The generator will then create a visual representation of all possible outcomes and strategies, helping you make informed decisions during gameplay. By analyzing the game tree, you can anticipate your opponent's moves and plan your own strategies accordingly to increase your chances of winning.


What is the input of a generator?

Generators transform energy into electrical energy. The output of the generator is the electric power it "makes". The input is whatever is used to create mechanical energy to turn the "prime mover", or the thing that makes the generator spin (be it steam / thermal energy, water, wind, etc.).


What is the relation between motor and generator?

Motors and Generators are Transducers which convert one form of energy to another form. Constructionally both are same. Theoretically, same machine can function as both motor and generator depending upon the input it recieves. If it is supplied with mechanical input it gives out electrical output (Generator). If it is given electrical input, it gives out mechanical output (Motor).
