Isn’t there an other idea to convert dc to ac without using
motors?Please,can you tell me?

does anyone know the efficiency of a motor-generator setup? If I put in one
kwh, how much would I get out? (i know it is less) could a DC motor be
connected to an ac generator for a cheap high quality inverter? (not high
efficiency)

Thanks very nice comment, I was just tinkering around with this, it’s not
new in any way they did this type of set up when they needed controllable
DC in the past where AC was only available, but it could be maybe
redesigned or used in other ways or like what you say for a solar setup or
other, I have built other generators and working on a new one on my other
channel, kurtscottage.

Awesome

This is REALLY inspirational. I was looking for a steampunk way to generate
alternating current to drive a HV transformer from a battery. This gave me
all kind of ideas. Thanks!

your right, I did not mention that part I do understand the current will
drop proportionally with the voltage, the 8v motor being a couple of amps
when steeped up with the transformer the current drops to milliamps that’s
why it wont light the bulb but I’m just tinkering around for fun also there
is heat loss so not the greatest setup

how do you build a small dc to ac converter

@bobo888bobo I haven’t read anything on the efficiency in general of this
setup. I have seen in an old apartment building elevator room an ac motor
to dc generator set up, I think this was common back in the day where they
needed to power and control a large dc motor with only an ac source. You
could hook a dc motor to an alternator or induction motor and easily do
this. I was thinking of doing this for a project.

brother can you tell me how to connect floppy drive motor wires to
tanformer?

try using a toroidal transformer instead of the Ecore…might boost voltage
gain
