SUMMARY
The relationship between the speed of the rotating shaft and the electrical output of a kinetic energy generator is defined by the equation power = torque * speed. This principle applies to both gasoline and electric engines. In the context of power generation, most generators operate synchronously, maintaining a consistent speed while varying power output within a defined range. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for optimizing generator performance.
