2. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

   Using a = 4 and c = 1 (bottom row) gives a cycle length of 9 with any seed in [0, 8]. A linear congruential generator ( LCG) is an algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation. The method represents one of the oldest and best-known pseudorandom number generator algorithms.

3. Cockcroft–Walton generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockcroft–Walton_generator

   The Cockcroft–Walton (CW) generator, or multiplier, is an electric circuit that generates a high DC voltage from a low-voltage AC [1].It was named after the British and Irish physicists John Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton, who in 1932 used this circuit design to power their particle accelerator, performing the first artificial nuclear disintegration in history. [2]

4. Marx generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator

   A Marx generator is an electrical circuit first described by Erwin Otto Marx in 1924. [1] Its purpose is to generate a high- voltage pulse from a low-voltage DC supply. Marx generators are used in high-energy physics experiments, as well as to simulate the effects of lightning on power-line gear and aviation equipment.

5. Electrostatic generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_generator

   An electrostatic generator, or electrostatic machine, is an electrical generator that produces static electricity, or electricity at high voltage and low continuous current. The knowledge of static electricity dates back to the earliest civilizations, but for millennia it remained merely an interesting and mystifying phenomenon , without a ...

6. Generator (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(mathematics)

   Generator (mathematics) The 5th roots of unity in the complex plane under multiplication form a group of order 5. Each non-identity element by itself is a generator for the whole group. In mathematics and physics, the term generator or generating set may refer to any of a number of related concepts. The underlying concept in each case is that ...

7. Homopolar generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_generator

   Homopolar generator. Faraday disk, the first 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 ...
