Design engineers know that both brush DC and brushless DC (BLDC) motors can operate as generators, but many tend to avoid running brushed DC motors in generating mode because they believe it is ...

A loop of wire rotating between two permanent magnets generates DC and AC signals. This device can be connected to a DC power supply to run as a motor. Disconnect the DC power supply, if applicable.

There are several reasons to consider using brushed DC motors as generators in particular applications, notes Sunil Kedia of Portescap in a new Machine Design article. “Brushed DC motors are less ...

Any stepper motor can be used as a generator. In contrast to other generators, a stepper motor produces a large induced voltage even at low rotational speeds. The type used here, with a DC resistance ...

Figure 8 depicts an electrical vehicle climbing an incline moving forward (top) or in reverse (bottom). When the vehicle rolls downhill it will turn the motor pressed by the force of gravity so the ...

The Genecon motor/generator is a motor or hand cranked DC generator that is used to drive another Genecon motor/generator and/or to light a series of LEDs. The Genecon motor/generators are fragile.
