2. Rotary converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter

   The rotary converter can be thought of as a motor–generator, where the two machines share a single rotating armature and set of field coils. The basic construction of the rotary converter consists of a DC generator (dynamo) with a set of slip rings tapped into its rotor windings at evenly spaced intervals. When a dynamo is spun the electric ...

3. Field coil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_coil

   This is done by supplying the armature windings on the rotor through a commutator, a combination of rotating slip ring and switches. AC induction motors also use field coils on the stator, the current on the rotor being supplied by induction in a squirrel cage. For generators, the field current is smaller than the output current.

4. Single-phase generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-phase_generator

   The design of revolving armature generators is to have the armature part on a rotor and the magnetic field part on stator. A basic design, called elementary generator, [3] is to have a rectangular loop armature to cut the lines of force between the north and south poles. By cutting lines of force through rotation, it produces electric current.

5. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

   Armature reaction is essential in amplidyne rotating amplifiers. Armature reaction drop is the effect of a magnetic field on the distribution of the flux under main poles of a generator. [5] Since an armature is wound with coils of wire, a magnetic field is set up in the armature whenever a current flows in the coils.

6. AC motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

   An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). The AC motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field. The rotor magnetic field ...

7. Slip ring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_ring

   Formally, it is an electric transmission device that allows energy flow between two electrical rotating parts, such as in a motor. Slip rings on a hydroelectric generator; A - stationary spring-loaded graphite brushes, B - rotating steel contact ring, C - insulated connections to generator field winding, D - top end of generator shaft.

8. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutator_(electric)

   Parts: (A) commutator, (B) brush, (C) rotor windings, (D) stator (field) windings, (E) brush guides, (F) electrical connections. A commutator is a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors and electrical generators that periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit.

9. Constant speed drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Speed_Drive

   Constant speed drive for Boeing 727, made by Sundstrand Corporation. A constant speed drive (CSD) also known as a constant speed generator, is a type of transmission that takes an input shaft rotating at a wide range of speeds, delivering this power to an output shaft that rotates at a constant speed, despite the varying input.
