2. Dynamo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo

   "Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator.Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current ...

3. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   A generator using permanent magnets (PMs) is sometimes called a magneto, or a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). Armature: The power-producing component of an electrical machine. In a generator, alternator, or dynamo, the armature windings generate the electric current, which provides power to an external circuit.

   De Méritens is best remembered today for his production of magneto generators specifically for lighthouses. These were favoured for their simplicity and reliability, in particular their avoidance of commutators. [7] In the sea air of a lighthouse, the commutator that had been used previously with dynamo generators was a continual source of ...

5. Alternator (automotive) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator_(automotive)

   Alternator (silver) mounted on a V8 engine Alternator voltage regulator (brushes are worn out) An alternator is a type of electric generator used in modern automobiles to charge the battery and to power the electrical system when its engine is running. Until the 1960s, automobiles used DC dynamo generators with commutators.

6. Third-brush dynamo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-brush_dynamo

   A third-brush dynamo was a type of dynamo, an electrical generator, formerly used for battery charging on motor vehicles. It was superseded, first by a two-brush dynamo equipped with an external voltage regulator , and later by an alternator .
