What if we connect a motor to a generator?

Answer: In fact, it will run a little longer if you do not connect the generator to the motor because if they are connected, some of the electrical energy will go into heating the motor winding. The motor drives the generator, and some current from generator is used to run the motor.

Can you power a generator with an electric motor?

YES, but it can only be done long term with an electric motor that is designed to also run as a generator and if the generator will be paralleled with other generation the motor will need to be a synchronous motor. My electrical plant includes 2 – 500 KW motor generators.

Can we produce free electricity?

The concept of Free Energy/Electricity is a misconception. There is no such thing as free energy. However, if we generate it thru the means of readily available resources such as the Sun, Wind, Tidal, Hydro-electric, Geothermal is only free after the initial capital cost.

Can a motor be a generator at the same time?

You can generate an alternating current with a fractional horsepower motor. For convenience, the motor should be mounted on a board, as shown, with 4 mm sockets allowing connections to the rotor and stator windings.

Can an alternator power an electric motor?

The humble automotive alternator hides an interesting secret. Known as the part that converts power from internal combustion into the electricity needed to run everything else, they can also themselves be used as an electric motor.

Can an AC electric motor be used as a generator?

An induction generator or asynchronous generator is a type of alternating current (AC) electrical generator that uses the principles of induction motors to produce electric power. A regular AC induction motor usually can be used as a generator, without any internal modifications.

Can you turn a 3 phase motor into a generator?

Yes, a three phase motor CAN be spun to operate as a generator, however, an induction motor used as such will still require a supply voltage, will Have to be spun faster than its normal operating speed and cannot provide reactive power, so would need a capacitor [bank].

How long can an electric motor run continuously?

In the range of six months to a year, you should expect the motor to run continuously for the life of the brushes. I thought the motor was too small to have its brushes changed by an electrician.

Would a free energy generator work with a magnet motor?

With a magnet motor, free energy generator wouldn’t work. Conventional science is quick to say that we cannot pull energy from an environmental source but we have been utilizing different forms of environmental energy such as hydroelectric power, solar panels, tidal power systems, and geothermal energy systems.

Why don’t all motors produce electricity?

For example, some AC motors lack field excitation which magnetizes their coils, a necessary step in producing electricity. Therefore if you turn a ceiling fan motor you’ll not get electricity. Most of them do but some don’t. The most basic DC motor, found in toys such as RC cars, are also great generators.

How do you make a generator out of an electric motor?

How to Build a Generator Using an Electric Motor. Your permanent magnet electric motor can be used as a generator. All that needs to be done is to apply an external power source to spin the shaft of any permanent magnet electric motor and your motor becomes a generator.

Can you run a motor and generator at the same time?

Motor and generator simultaneously. Yes. When you turn a motor, it will generate electricity. Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction will explain it clear. The voltage you get as the output is directly proportional to the speed of the motor, but the current will depend on the magnitude or size of the motor.
