  2. Generation effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_effect

    The generation effect is typically achieved in cognitive psychology experiments by asking participants to generate words from word fragments. [2] This effect has also been demonstrated using a variety of other materials, such as when generating a word after being presented with its antonym, [3] synonym, [1] picture, [4] arithmetic problems, [2] [5] or keyword in a paragraph. [6]

  3. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

    Wind turbines usually provide electrical generation in conjunction with other methods of producing power. Electric generators transform kinetic energy into electricity. This is the most used form for generating electricity based on Faraday's law. It can be seen experimentally by rotating a magnet within closed loops of conducting material, e.g ...

  4. Random number generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

    Dice are an example of a mechanical hardware random number generator. When a cubical die is rolled, a random number from 1 to 6 is obtained. Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator (RNG), a sequence of numbers or symbols is generated that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance.

  5. Diceware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diceware

    Diceware is a method for creating passphrases, passwords, and other cryptographic variables using ordinary dice as a hardware random number generator. For each word in the passphrase, five rolls of a six-sided die are required. The numbers from 1 to 6 that come up in the rolls are assembled as a five-digit number, e.g. 43146. That number is ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Procedural generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_generation

    Other notable early examples include the 1985 game Rescue on Fractalus (that used fractals to procedurally create, in real time, the craggy mountains of an alien planet) and River Raid (the 1982 Activision game that used a pseudorandom number sequence generated by a linear feedback shift register in order to generate a scrolling maze of obstacles).

  8. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    A generator using permanent magnets (PMs) is sometimes called a magneto, or a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). Armature: The power-producing component of an electrical machine. In a generator, alternator, or dynamo, the armature windings generate the electric current, which provides power to an external circuit.

  9. Ideation (creative process) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideation_(creative_process)

    The process can be used alone or in groups, and is often used in conjunction with other ideation techniques such as role-playing and mind mapping. Bodystorming is an effective way to generate new ideas, and has been used in a variety of fields including product design, architecture, and marketing. [citation needed] Brainwriting
