Generators vs. Alternators
Generator
Alternator
Convert rotational motion into DC electrical
output
Magnet spun inside wires Diode
rectifier Outputs even at idle speeds Handles
higher currents No polarizing requirement
Wires spun inside magnets Commutator High speed
requirement Low current restriction Must be
polarized
