An a.c. generator produces alternating current, whereas a d.c. generator produces direct current.
An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the 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.
Such conversions are often inefficient and/or expensive. It requires an external power supply or battery charger to convert AC into DC.
rectifierac motor - dc generator set
The theory of converting AC to DC using a 3-phase induction motor and a DC shunt generator involves utilizing the induction motor to mechanically drive the shunt generator. When the induction motor is powered by a three-phase AC supply, it operates and drives the rotor of the connected DC shunt generator. This generator then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy, producing a DC output. The process allows for efficient conversion of AC to DC, leveraging the motor's mechanical properties and the generator's electrical characteristics.
An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.
DC generator
dc
NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.
Type your answer here... how can you change an ac motor to a dc generator
Turn the DC generator inside out and you have an alternator .

Converting D/C into A/C is very expensive. You can use inverters to switch the direction of the current but you would probably be better off to replace your DC generator with an AC generator and if you need both AC and DC power then use a rectifier (inexpensive when compared to inverters) to convert the AC to a DC current.

It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.

because DC generator generates generally generate DC power but as it has slip rings which convert it into ac output power
