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.

As electrons pass through a particular device magnets begin to rotate. This rotation is then used to power devices such as ceiling fans. This is a description of what happens in a(n) .?

How an electric motor from electric generator?

You can use your permanent magnet electric motor as a generator. All you have to do is spin the shaft of any permanent magnet electric motor with an external power source, and your motor will turn into a generator. You can create an electric current with almost any motor if it is properly wired and used according to precise guidelines. As a result, you can't simply reverse the components of a generator to turn it into a motor. Brushed and brushless DC motors can both be used to generate electricity.


Does an electric generator motion produces magnetism or power or electricity?

An electric generator produces electrical energy. It converts mechanical energy to electrical energy by interacting with a magnetic field. The amount of electrical energy converted to useful work in a given time interval is the power output. If the generator is not connected to any load, then no work is done and there is no power.


What device converts electric energy into mechanical energy?

An electric motor is a device that converts electric energy into mechanical energy. When an electric current passes through the motor, it generates a magnetic field that interacts with the motor's coils, causing the motor to rotate and produce mechanical energy.


What is the function of the slip rings in an electric generator?

The slip rings in an electric generator are used to transfer electrical power from the rotating part of the generator to the stationary part. They allow for a continuous flow of electricity without the need for physical connections that would limit the rotation of the generator.

Will a 2800 watt generator run a 550 watt electric cement mixer motor?

Yes, a 2800 watt generator should be able to run a 550 watt electric cement mixer motor. The generator's wattage is more than enough to power the motor with some extra capacity for other devices. Be sure to check the starting wattage of the motor as well to ensure the generator can handle the initial surge of power needed.


Can you use electric motor on generator insted of petrol motor?

of course you can.but the purpose of electricity is lost here.generators run by petrol or diesel engines are used because you dont have a electric supply or there is a power outage.if there is no power how can you run the electric motor which runs the generator.hence the generator is always coupled with and diesel IC engine.


What size generator do you need to move a 30 hp electric motor?

A 5 kW generator would turn it over but if the full 30 hp of mechanical power is needed, that would require about 30 kW of electric power from the generator.


What is the purpose of a in an electric motor?

A commutator applies power to the best location on the rotor, and in a generator, picks off power similarly.


When the motor is doing some work at the same time can it generate power with help of another generator is this possible like this anything there?

You can't use a motor to power a generator and use the output of that generator to power the motor. Some energy will be lost at each step making the hookup pointless. But you can use a combustion engine to power an electric generator and use that electricity to power auxillary systems around the engine.


What is the main difference between an electric motor and electric generator?

An electric generator converts mechanical energy to electric energy while a motor converts electric energy to mechanical. A generator can actually act as a motor if it losses whatever is making it spin (called "motoring"), which is usually a very bad thing. Motors may be used as generators as well, depending on their design.


Can an electric motor run a generator to power itself?

An electric motor could run a generator to power itself, but this is a lossy system, so an outside power source would have to supply the power due to the losses. And if the motor was being used for anything else, the real power losted due to this other use would have to be made up as well. You don't get anything for free. No. This is perpetual motion, which is impossible, the problem is that everything has losses, like friction, drag, etc., and no matter how clever you get, the best you can do is that you can ALMOST make it work. Don't waste time pursuing this beyond understanding why it does not work.


Can you take a 12000 watt gas powered generator and replace the gas engine with a electric motor to run the generator?

A 15 KW generator won't likely run everything in your house, but besides that it is not efficient. You will be using more electricity to run the generator than the power would deliver. You also defeat the reason for the generator - run your house when power goes out. Now if you had a wind turbine turning a generator you have a positive contribution to house power. This is how wind power works. There are also lots of issues associated with a power transfer switch and feeding power back into the grid.


What are internal combustion power plant?

The power plant includes an internal combustion engine and a direct current electric motor generator.


What is the purpose of a commutator in a electric motor?

Is a power supply needed to run an electric motor?

Yes. To make something move, you have to add energy. An electric motor won't turn by itself.
