2. Linear alternator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_alternator

   A linear alternator is essentially a linear motor used as an electrical generator. An alternator is a type of alternating current (AC) electrical generator. The devices are often physically equivalent. The principal difference is in how they are used and which direction the energy flows.

3. Alternator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator

   Alternators made in 1909 by Ganz Works in the power generating hall of a Russian hydroelectric station (photograph by Prokudin-Gorsky, 1911). [1]An alternator (or synchronous generator) is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. [2]

4. Synchronization (alternating current) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization...

   In an alternating current (AC) electric power system, synchronization is the process of matching the frequency, phase and voltage of a generator or other source to an electrical grid in order to transfer power. If two unconnected segments of a grid are to be connected to each other, they cannot safely exchange AC power until they are synchronized.

6. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

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

   High power, high current commutated equipment is now uncommon, due to the less complex design of alternating current generators that permits a low current, high voltage spinning field coil to energize high current fixed-position stator coils. This permits the use of very small singular brushes in the alternator design.

7. 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 ...
