I wrote an article on this topic in 2000 that was published on Circuit Cellar Online. Despite what the alarmists may tell you that nothing is ever deleted on the Internet, I have evidence to the ...

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).

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 ...

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 ...

AC drives offer significant market opportunities due to their role in enhancing energy efficiency and supporting automation and sustainable practices. Key growth drivers include their applicability in ...

If you made a motor out of a magnet, a wire coil, and some needles, you probably remember that motors and generators depend on a rotating magnetic field. Once you know how it works, the concept is ...

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 ...
