2. Electric motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

   An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates in reverse, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric motors can be powered by direct current (DC) sources, such as from batteries or rectifiers , or by alternating current (AC) sources, such as a power grid, inverters or electrical generators.

3. Motor–generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor–generator

   In principle, any electrical generator can also serve as an electric motor, or vice versa. In hybrid vehicles and other lightweight power systems, a "motor/generator" is a single electric machine that can be used as an electric motor or a generator, converting between electrical power and mechanical power.

4. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   The dynamo was the first electrical generator capable of delivering power for industry. The Woolrich Electrical Generator of 1844, now in Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum, is the earliest electrical generator used in an industrial process. [4] It was used by the firm of Elkingtons for commercial electroplating. [5] [6] [7]

   Like most generators, inverter generators provide 120/240 volts of AC power. They generate AC current just like the others, but it’s then converted to DC (Direct Current), and then inverted back ...

6. Electric machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_machine

   In electrical engineering, electric machine is a general term for machines using electromagnetic forces, such as electric motors, electric generators, and others. They are electromechanical energy converters: an electric motor converts electricity to mechanical power while an electric generator converts mechanical power to electricity.

8. Engine–generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine–generator

   An engine–generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of equipment. This combination is also called an engine–generator set or a gen-set. In many contexts, the engine is taken for granted and the combined unit is simply called a generator. An engine–generator ...

9. 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 ...
