    Drive Generator
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on maximizing generator performance using a specific motor and dynamo setup, detailing their specifications. It highlights the importance of understanding that the generator's output cannot exceed the input from the motor, raising concerns about the feasibility of using the generator to charge batteries while also powering the motor. Participants discuss the potential need for flywheels and the role of pulleys in matching horsepower, emphasizing that while matching is not mandatory, it is beneficial. The conversation also touches on the challenges of measuring and controlling high currents in the system, with a request for resources and calculations related to pulleys and flywheel design. Ultimately, the consensus is that the proposed system may not function as intended without an external power source for the generator.

motor specs are..
dc motor single phase 24 volts 49.6 amp 3000rpm, 1hp

dynmo specs are:
dynamo 1500 rpm 31.5amp output current 8hp

shaft of motor 1.3cm diameter and dynamo 3.5cm approx

please tell me the ideas to drive the generator? give explained answers
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Pulleys and a belt.

You are aware though that the output won't exceed the input, right?

yeah...
do i have to use flywheels?
 
generator have greater horse power than motor
is that a problem? do i have to match the horse power? or pulleys do this ?

Not unless the load on the generator is highly variable.

You don't have to match them, but it would be a waste not to, because of what I said in my first post.

Why are you doing this? What purpose will it serve?
 
can u give me some calculations of pulley system according to my need...i don't know how to calculate..
also give me some best site or pdf for flywheel calculation..

i want to generate electricity using generator which again charge batteries attached to motor.
i know the speed gradually start to decrease and system going to stop.but i have to design this system.
 
can anyone tell me how to make a current measuring circuit shich can measure upto 200A
 
which*

You can't do this. Your generator cannot put enough power out to charge the battery as well as power the motor which is what you would be doing. If you were to eliminate the battery you still would not have enough to run the motor. It would slow down just as quickly if not quicker than if you mechanically coupled the motor and generator together and spun them up manually with no electrical connections. If you used your scheme to charge the batteries the only thing the motor-generator setup does is increase the loss. It is a net drain. The real energy would be coming from whatever spins this combo up in the first place. And if this is the battery then you are just needlessly expediting the drain on the battery. If you want to charge batteries you need to just use the generator powered by something else.

yeah i understand ...
can anyone tell me how to measure and control high currents

You need to be more specific here. Measure and control high currents. Do you mean find a switch that is able to handle 200 amps? When you say measure, how accurate do you need to be?

i want a circuit or device that create a check on current value ..if it decrease a certain limit,,i willon some switches or do some other task.. but the current is high..
