    Can an electric generator be used to power a vacuum cleaner motor?

    I was watching the science channel and they had a robot with battery powered motors. Batteries need to be recharged, with the system I've mentioned, would not the power from the batteries contribute to the overall electrical output, thereby negating the [motor power needs]+[the generator power...

    Can an electric generator be used to power a vacuum cleaner motor?

    My idea while having nothing to directly with cleaning floors is trying to use materials that are readily accessible; i.e. I'm broke and trying to accomplish something anyway lol. The simple way to describe what I'm trying to do is: to put a magneto or such electric generating motor on a system...

    Can an electric generator be used to power a vacuum cleaner motor?

    Well, i have a theory about consistently supplying electricity to a motor, but since I lack technical "know-how", the pulley and and belt system of a home vacuum seemed an easy place to start with attaching extra components to run with the belt system. EDIT: I really do wish I could use the...

    Thanks :) Continuous... i.e. DC current?

    Can an electric generator be used to power a vacuum cleaner motor?

    Greetings everyone. My issue is this: I'm interested in finding a small electric generator that can power a standard vacuum cleaner motor for a project that I've had for quite some time but am only now getting around to trying to figure out. The idea seems simple enough, but I could use...
