Such conversions are often inefficient and/or expensive. It requires an external power supply or battery charger to convert AC into DC.
DC series motors run on DC power. Homes have AC power, not DC power. You could use DC motors in homes if you have a power supply or use a battery, but it is usually more cost effective to use an AC motor.
A DC motor is an electric motor that runs on direct current (DC) electricity. A DC motor is designed to run on DC electric power. Two examples of pure DC designs are Michael Faraday's homopolar motor (which is uncommon), and the ball bearing motor, which is (so far) a novelty. By far the most common DC motor types are the brushed and brushless types, which use internal and external commutation respectively to reverse the current in the windings in synchronism with rotation.
no you can't use dc motor to power hydro turbine ?
You can use a DC ammeter.
