What is the normal size of a dynamo?

The size of a dynamo can vary depending on its application and power output. Typically, dynamo sizes can range from a few inches for small portable generators to several feet in diameter for larger industrial generators.


Why dynamo meter not use for measure power factor?

Because a dynamometer is used to measure the mechanical power output of a motor or engine. There are ways of measuring the power factor directly, for example use a plug-in power and energy monitor.


Is dynamo a prefix?

No, the word dynamo is derived from the Greek word dynamis meaning power.


Can a 9 volt motor rotate 9 volt dynamo?

Are you going to use the 9-volt motor as a dynamo, and the 9-volt dynamo as a motor? Yes, the motor can rotate the dynamo because DC motors and DC generators are actually the same thing--they just apply power to the terminals of a motor to make it turn, and turn the shaft of a generator to make power appear at the terminals. Having said that, if you're going to try to connect the shaft of a 9v motor to the shaft of a 9v dynamo, and use the dynamo to power the motor so as to create a perpetual motion machine...that won't work. The motor wastes a little bit of energy, as does the dynamo. It is possible to build a device that uses a motor to drive an alternator, which is the AC version of a dynamo. You power the motor from the AC grid, and power something that's very sensitive to noise on the line from the alternator. This is called a Motor Generator set, and it's how they powered Cray-1 supercomputers.


How do you make simple dynamo to glow a bulb?

By attaching a fan in the dynamo and rotating the fan and connecting one end of wire in the dynamo and another end in a bulb which helps in glowing of bulb by using the power of dynamo.


What is the dynamo used for?

Electric Dynamo is used in a replacement of permanent magnets. Recently however, electric dynamo is not longer used to generate power in the United States and in Europe.


How can you make a larger current from a dynamo?

A dynamo is different than an alternator in the fact that the rotor is a fixed magnet rather than an electro magnet as used in an alternator. This makes a dynamo a constant output device. Usually the output is connected to a relay that opens when the battery is fully charged and the current is wasted. the only way increase output is to rewind the stator with more coils of wire. It is usually not possible to fit any more wire in the iron core of the stator as they are designed to be full at the designed output current rating.


Why cant you use the dynamos to power the car rather than batteries?

A dynamo only delivers power when it's turning. With only a dynamo and no battery there wouldn't be anything to power the starter motor with.


Can a bicycle dynamo turn on a radio?

A bike dynamo may power a small radio, but you'd have to turn it on manually first.


Why is there only one wire on a dynamo lamp in a wind turbine?

The single wire in a dynamo lamp is typically used to connect the lamp to the output of the dynamo, which generates electricity from the rotating movement of the wind turbine's blades. The lamp can be illuminated when electricity is produced by the dynamo, providing a source of light powered by the turbine's energy generation.


How can you inspect maximum gross torque?

You have to use a dynamo-meter to check engine output. Whether it is hp or torque figures, you can also make use of a towing dynamo meter which is more cost effective.
