In parts 1 through 3 I described the construction of the transformer we needed to generate the 10Amps AC. We still had to drive the transformer. Although I said I wasn’t going to discuss the complete ...

An electric current can be induced in in a coil of wire by moving a magnet in and out of the coil. AC generators are used in the generation of electricity and in their simplest form consist of a coil ...

Researchers have developed a new type of small-scale electric power generator able to produce alternating current through the cyclical stretching and releasing of zinc oxide wires encapsulated in a ...

In the simplest of terms, an AC generator supplies power directly to a 120-volt circuit to run AC accessories throughout a boat, as well as charge the boat’s batteries (through an AC-to-­DC charger).

In this fascinating tutorial, learn step-by-step how to make a small AC generator using magnet energy. Discover the fundamental principles of magnetic energy and electricity generation to achieve ...

In An AC Current Generator, Part 1, I talked about the overall principle in creating an AC current generator. Today I am going to start to describe how to create a transformer, specifically to ...
