In a dynamo, a split ring commutator changes the coil connections every half turn. As the induced potential difference is about to change direction, the connections are reversed. This means that ...

The Dynamo's name begins, however, with a bit of history: the foundation of the electric generator. The technical definition for a dynamo is an electric generator that produces a direct current ...

Between the discovery of electromagnetic induction and the development of the electric generator 50 years elapsed. Why did it take so long for Faraday's basic work to be applied? By Harold I. Sharlin ...

Cars use a type of a.c. generator, called an alternator, to keep the battery charged and to run the electrical system while the engine is working. A dynamo is another type of generator sometimes ...
