Can you use a 24VDC-100RPM motor as wind generator?

All DC Motors can generate electricity according to their size & input volt. 24 volt DC Motor is best for generate electricity. Even you can generate up to 24 volt AC. The big size of Motor is also depends to generate more ampere (current). Remember 24 volt DC Motor which have less RPM without gear is better & efficient for generate electricity than having the more RPM (Round Per Minute). So try it & generate electricity.

Is an AC generator can use AC motor and vice verso?

Are you planning to build a perpetual motion machine in which the power generated by an AC generator is used to run an AC motor which is used to run the same AC generator which provides it with power? Because that won't work. Yes, you can use a motor to generate electricity, and you can use electricity to run a motor, but the process is not 100% efficient and if you try to make it a closed loop, it will run down fairly quickly. So, what do we actually do? We use fuel to run an AC generator, or we use waterfalls or wind, or some other energy source, and then we use the power to run our motor.

How do you change an ac motor to a DC motor?

Ac motor have slip ring, to remove the slip ring,connected to the commutator its a dc motor.


Is electricity AC Or DC currant which one?

Electricity or rather electric currant can be either AC or DC. AC means alternating current (as in that electricity that is supplied by the mains) and DC means direct current (as in that electricity supplied by a battery)..

What makes a windmill generate electricity?

the wind turns the rotor which turns a motor which generates electricity


What generates more noise ac motor or dc motor?

dc motors generate more noise.


Can an AC generate enough electricity through by pedal work by a human being?

yes


How do hybrids generate electricity?

They run a gas powered motor which charges a battery.


Capacitor?

capacitor is a power cell used to generate electricity in the motor of ceiling fan


What does an AC motor do?

An ac motor basically makes it easier electricity form.A man Named Nikola Tesla created Alternating Current. (AC) AC is the flow of electricity going back and fourth, unlike Direct Current. (DC) A man named Thomas Edison created Direct Current.


Can a ac motor produce electricity?

Technically YES. But the source of power in Electric cars being DC through batteries, the motor must be DC and not AC.


How do windmills distribute electricity to the community?

Windmills generate electricity on the spot. This electricity is then cabled into the closest grid.


Why won't my split-phase AC motor generate - I've got a Dayton motor I want to use as a generator but no matter how fast I spin the motor it won't generate more than a couple of volts - Help?

You must have a permanent magnet in the field or residual magnetism that produce magnetic flux lines across the rotating conductors. Without an energized coil (electromagnet) or permanent magnet near the conductors, the motor will never be able to create electricity.


How electricity gathered?

by wires <<>> Electricity is not a collectible commodity. It is generated and distributed as the demand requires. Small amounts of DC electricity can be stored in a capacitor but is not viable as an AC source. Electricity is distributed by wire conductors.
