2. Permanent magnet synchronous generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_magnet...

   A permanent magnet synchronous generator is a generator where the excitation field is provided by a permanent magnet instead of a coil. The term synchronous refers here to the fact that the rotor and magnetic field rotate with the same speed, because the magnetic field is generated through a shaft-mounted permanent magnet mechanism, and current is induced into the stationary armature.

3. Homopolar generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_generator

   A homopolar generator is a DC electrical generator comprising an electrically conductive disc or cylinder rotating in a plane perpendicular to a uniform static magnetic field. A potential difference is created between the center of the disc and the rim (or ends of the cylinder) with an electrical polarity that depends on the direction of ...

4. DC motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

   A DC motor is an electrical motor that uses direct current (DC) to produce mechanical force. The most common types rely on magnetic forces produced by currents in the coils. Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction of current in part of the motor.

5. Excitation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation_(magnetic)

   Separately-excited generators like this are commonly used for large-scale power transmission plants. The smaller generator can be either a magneto with permanent field magnets or another self-excited generator. A field coil may be connected in shunt, in series, or in compound with the armature of a DC machine (motor or generator).

6. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_(electrical)

   Both motors and generators can be built either with a stationary armature and a rotating field or a rotating armature and a stationary field. The pole piece of a permanent magnet or electromagnet and the moving, iron part of a solenoid, especially if the latter acts as a switch or relay, may also be referred to as armatures.

7. Brushless DC electric motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushless_DC_electric_motor

   A brushless DC electric motor (BLDC), also known as an electronically commutated motor, is a synchronous motor using a direct current (DC) electric power supply. It uses an electronic controller to switch DC currents to the motor windings producing magnetic fields that effectively rotate in space and which the permanent magnet rotor follows.
