    "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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    Dynamos generate pulsing direct current through the use of a commutator. Alternators generate alternating current. Mechanically, a generator consists of a rotating part and a stationary part which together form a magnetic circuit: Rotor: The rotating part of an electrical machine.

  4. Direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

    Types of direct current. The term DC is used to refer to power systems that use only one electrical polarity of voltage or current, and to refer to the constant, zero-frequency, or slowly varying local mean value of a voltage or current. [9] For example, the voltage across a DC voltage source is constant as is the current through a direct ...

  5. Commutator (electric) - Wikipedia

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

    Commutators are used in direct current (DC) machines: dynamos (DC generators) and many DC motors as well as universal motors. In a motor the commutator applies electric current to the windings. By reversing the current direction in the rotating windings each half turn, a steady rotating force ( torque ) is produced.

  6. Electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_machine

    An induction generator draws reactive power from the connected system and so cannot be an isolated source of power. In a Synchronous generator (alternator), the current for the magnetic field is provided by a DC current source, either separate or rectified from the output of the machine using a full bridge rectifier.

  7. Gramme machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramme_machine

    A Gramme machine, Gramme ring, Gramme magneto, or Gramme dynamo is an electrical generator that produces direct current, named for its Belgian inventor, Zénobe Gramme, and was built as either a dynamo or a magneto. [1] It was the first generator to produce power on a commercial scale for industry.
