An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.
electrical energy
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.
It makes AC ( alternating current ) . That's why it's called an alternator. A DC generator would usually be called a dynamo.
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
AC supplies are not given to DC gennies. A DC gen requires a mechanical prime mover.
It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.
Depending on the type of generator: Electricity in the form of direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) is produced.
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.
It depends on how the generator is set up. Some will produce DC (Direct Current) and others will produce AC (Alternating Current). Where possible AC electricity will be produced as it runs through the grid without much loss of power.
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 .

First ac has to be rectified into dc and then that could be stored in a secondary cell in the form of chemical energy.
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.
