When the power fails, you expect your generator to hum steadily in the background, not to spend the night tripping breakers ...

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 ...

A motor-generator system mainly performs motor control to provide motive power and also controls regeneration by the motor acting as a generator. Advances aimed at lower fuel consumption and reduced ...

When the grid goes dark, the difference between a calm night and a cascade of tripped breakers usually comes down to the ...

In today’s dynamic energy industry, the need for flexible, efficient electricity generation is increasingly important. The days of predictable peak demand patterns are behind us. As wind and solar ...

A common complaint is that EVs should have generators attached. The discontinued Cadillac ELR did have one. What happened to it?

[Robert Murray-Smith] doesn’t like the price of inverters to convert DC to AC. That led him to build a dynamotor, or what is sometimes called a motor-generator set. These devices are just DC motors ...
