While renewable energy offers many opportunities for decentralizing energy production, it can sometimes feel that doing so on a truly local level remains unachievable with increasingly large ...

Stepper motors are a subject that keeps recurring. This little circuit changes a clock signal (from a square wave generator) into signals with a 90-degree phase difference, which are required to drive ...

To meet the demand for drive motors / generators needed for hybrid vehicles, engineers at Remy International Inc. designed a line of off-the-shelf devices that are said to have the highest ...

A motor-generator system mainly performs motor control to provide motive power and also controls regeneration by the motor acting as a generator. Advances aimed at lower fuel consumption and reduced ...

Christine and Scott Gable are hybrid auto and alternative fuel experts who have brewed their own biodiesel and traveled 125,000 miles on waste vegetable oil. Electric vehicles rely exclusively on ...

The Genecon motor/generator is a motor or hand cranked DC generator that is used to drive another Genecon motor/generator and/or to light a series of LEDs. The Genecon motor/generators are fragile.

In a powertrain fitted with eTorque, a belt-driven motor-generator unit replaces the conventional alternator on the engine. This motor-generator unit performs several functions in addition to the ...

[Robert Murray-Smith] doesn’t like the price of inverters to convert DC to AC. That led him to build a dynamotor, or what is sometimes called a motor-generator set. These devices are just DC motors ...
