A small, efficient DC motor
designed for converting mechanical energy into electrical power, perfect for
DIY projects and educational experiments. Ideal for powering low-voltage
devices, renewable energy setups, and small gadgets requiring compact power generation.
Description:
A generator motor is a
dual-purpose electromechanical device that can function as both a motor and a
generator. When electrical energy is supplied, it operates as a motor,
converting electrical energy into mechanical motion. When mechanical energy is
applied to its shaft, it functions as a generator, producing electrical energy.
Generator motors are commonly used in renewable energy systems, backup power
solutions, and regenerative braking systems in electric vehicles.
