Electric generator. U.S. NRC image of a modern steam turbine generator (STG). 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 ...
SG equivalent of En Patrick, Peter [24] (both En names are etymologically unrelated to one another). SG Peadar is used for the name of the saint (Saint Peter). Pàra, Pàdair are SG dialectal forms. [24] Para is a contracted form. [49] Pàdruig Patrick [54] Pàl Paul [52] See also SG Pòl. Pàra Patrick [24] Dialectal form of SG Pàdraig. [24 ...
Dynamo. "Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, U.S. patent 284,110) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using a commutator. Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based ...
Latinisation of names. Latinisation (or Latinization) [1] of names, also known as onomastic Latinisation, is the practice of rendering a non - Latin name in a modern Latin style. [1] It is commonly found with historical proper names, including personal names and toponyms, and in the standard binomial nomenclature of the life sciences.
This is most easily seen in the male-female name pairs: Gabriel - Gabriela, Ioan - Ioana, George - Georgiana, Mihai - Mihaela, Nicolae - Nicoleta, etc. The most common Romanian name is Maria, with approximately 1.38 million females having it as one of their given names. [ 1] Also, almost 1.37 million Romanians have Ion, Ioan and Ioana as one of ...

The first machine used a silk ribbon bought at a five and dime store as the charge transport belt. In 1931 a version able to produce 1,000,000 volts was described in a patent disclosure. The Van de Graaff generator was a successful particle accelerator, producing the highest energies until the late 1930s when the cyclotron superseded it. The ...
Alternator. Alternators made in 1909 by Ganz Works in the power generating hall of a Russian hydroelectric station (photograph by Prokudin-Gorsky, 1911). [ 1] An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. [ 2] For reasons of cost and simplicity, most alternators ...
