What's the part called that converts spinning, rotor, motor power into electricity?
If I were to buy one what would I call it? Regards, David |

Alternator, generator, dynamo, magneto... then there are also a pile of electrostatic machines too...
If you were to buy one, the question is; what do you want it to do? High voltage, high current, low voltage, low current, AC, DC, pulsed..? |
