  1. Generators:An Application of Electromagnetism By: Bryant Jones

  2. Outline • Background Information • Principle of Operation • Types of Application • Advantages • Disadvantages • Conclusion • References http://www.cyclenorth.com/images/honda/power_products/honda_generator_conventional.jpg

  3. Background InformationDefinition of a Generator • A device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, using electromagnetic induction.

  4. Background InformationInventor • One of the most influential scientists in the field of electricity with little formal education. • Discovered the principle of generators and built the first electromagnetic generator [Faraday disc] in the 1830s. • Also discovered diamagnetism and electrolysis. Michael Faraday 1791 - 1867 http://www.abdn.ac.uk/~u02rjr4/px2013/faraday_sprott.jpg

  5. Background InformationInventor (Cont.) Faraday’s Disc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Faraday_disk_generator.jpg

  6. Outline • Background Information • Principle of Operation • Types of Application • Advantages • Disadvantages • Conclusion • References http://www.edmonton-ots.com/Images/RigElectricGenerator.jpg

  7. Faraday’s Law states that the great the number of turns or the faster the coil is moved through the magnetic flux pattern, the greater the induced voltage. This concept enables us to establish voltages with a generator. Principle of OperationConcept

  14. Advantages • In areas where the power supply is intermittent, like in Third World Countries, generators can provide power. • Generators also can provide backup power for hospitals, shopping malls, etc…

  15. Outline • Background Information • Principle of Operation • Types of Application • Advantages • Disadvantages • Conclusion • References http://www.hovertrans.com/picts/generators/English-electric-generator.jpg

  16. Disadvantages • Gasoline-powered generators require more frequent maintenance. • Diesel-powered generators tend to be noisier and more expensive.

  17. Outline • Background Information • Principle of Operation • Types of Application • Advantages • Disadvantages • Conclusion • References http://www.hopshop.net/tours/electric-utility/images/diesel-gen.jpg

  18. Conclusion • Generators are devices that use a magnet in order to induce a flow of electric current in a a circuit. • There are diesel, gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas, and propane-powered generators. • Generators offer a level of safety and security when a power supply is unstable. • Generators also has its disadvantages.
