  2. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    In electricity generation, a generator [1] is a device that converts motion-based power ( potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power ( chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even ...

  3. Electricity generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation

    Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power from sources of primary energy. For utilities in the electric power industry, it is the stage prior to its delivery ( transmission, distribution, etc.) to end users or its storage, using for example, the pumped-storage method.

  4. History of perpetual motion machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_perpetual...

    The history of perpetual motion machines dates at least back to the Middle Ages. For millennia, it was not clear whether perpetual motion devices were possible or not, but modern theories of thermodynamics have shown that they are impossible. Despite this, many attempts have been made to construct such machines, continuing into modern times.

  9. Free-piston linear generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-piston_linear_generator

    The free-piston linear generator (FPLG) uses chemical energy from fuel to drive magnets through a stator and converts this linear motion into electric energy. Because of its versatility, low weight and high efficiency, it can be used in a wide range of applications, although it is of special interest to the mobility industry as range extenders for electric vehicles.
