With a pedal generator, you can turn human effort into usable energy—ideal for off-grid setups, emergency backups, or just a fun DIY project. This guide gives you a fast-track look at how pedal ...

Electricity comes in two basic forms: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). DC is handy to use and is easy to analyze. However, AC has some useful properties too. In particular, AC current ...

A configuration of a self-excited induction generator supplying DC loads with constant voltage through a diode bridge rectifier and a buck-type DC–DC converter is proposed. The rectifier input current ...
