Mell Can electric motor run generator power itself?
YES, but it can only be done long term with an electric motor that is designed to also run as a generator and if the generator will be paralleled with other generation the motor will need to be a synchronous motor.
Can a brushed DC motor be used as a generator?
Brushed DC motors can be used as DC generators. The underlying physical principle is the law of induction. Rotating the motor shaft moves the winding segment through the sinusoidal varying magnetic flux in the air gap. Accordingly, a sinusoidal voltage is induced in each segment.
Can two motors run each other?
If we connect two electric motors out of which one is rotated such as making a generator then, is it possible to run both the motors using the power generated through one motor? Short answer is no, you can’t use the {motor-generator-motor-generator-… -…} as a perpetual motion machine.
Can a DC motor power another DC motor?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, in a brushed permanent magnet motor, no conversion needs to be done. Just spin the shaft and it generates DC voltage/current. For a brushless DC permanent magnet motor like a computer fan, you’ll have to open it up.
Can robots move without motors?
And we’re one step closer to the Robocalypse: a research team at the Nagoya Institute of Technology has developed a passive robot that can walk on its own. All it needs to get moving is a gentle push – no motors, sensors or even electricity needed. Its legs and ankles are powered by potential energy only.
How long can electric motor run?
These are just the key factors that affect the performance of an electric vehicle motor. However, in general, an electric car motor can last for more than 15 to 20 years, provided it performs within the limits of specified values and at normal operating conditions.
Can a generator be driven by a motor?
I want to generate electricity by driving a/c generator with the help of a motor and that motor will be powered by an inverter. Usually we see generator driven by an engine commonly known as “Electric Generator”. But in my case it will be the motor which will drive it. Here in my country there is a serious problem of power shortage.
Can a synchronous motor be used as a generator?
YES, but it can only be done long term with an electric motor that is designed to also run as a generator and if the generator will be paralleled with other generation the motor will need to be a synchronous motor. I served in the US Navy on a submarine as an electrician nuclear qualified.
What is the efficiency of running an electric motor from a generator?
What you describe sounds like a gas-electric transmission (gas/diesel engine drives generator, generator drives one or multiple electric engines that propel the device). Such systems are sufficiently efficient and very common in trains, ships and other big, heavy and powerful machinery.
How does a high power AC generator work?
The AC generator head is direct coupled to the Tecumseh 8 HP motor, and has a belt driven 12 volt alternator mounted to our Horizontal generator bracket which is attached to the motor. To get the full rated output of 6,000 W peak from the generator head, this particular motor is under powered.
