Betty Morton passed away recently at age 90, a dynamo from Smithfield we featured in 2017. Betty traveled the world and kept magnets of every place she visited on her refrigerator. We remember her ...

which keeps the liquid metal moving through the magnetic field. The so-called Coriolis force also plays a role in sustaining the geomagnetic dynamo. Our planet's spinning motion causes the moving ...

How a Generator Works When an electric current flows through a wire, it generates a three-dimensional magnetic force field around the wire, similar to that surrounding a bar magnet. Magnets are ...

Every power generator requires a power source through movement or fossil-based fuel. A stand-alone magnet does not hold energy since it requires external kinetic energy to operate as an electric power ...

increasing the rate of rotation increasing the strength of the magnetic field increasing the number of turns on the coil The diagram shows four different positions of the coil in a dynamo ...
