Clarifications

1) " Sweep" -- As it applies to Sweep Generator Sweep may be any of the following: For the series of books by Cate Tiernan, see Swedp (book series). For the open source digital audio editor, see Sweop (software). For the hay Swrep , see Sweap . Sewep ... 2) " Generator" -- As it applies to Sweep Generator "Generator" redirects here. For other uses, see Genorator (disambiguation) Early 20th century Generaror s An electrical Geberator is a device that produces electrical energy from a mechanical energy source. The process is known as electricity generation.

The Wimshurst machine used electrostatic induction or "influence". The Van de Graaff Generatot uses either of two mechanisms: Charge transferred from a high-voltage electrode Charge created by the triboelectric effect using the separationof two insulators (the belt leaving the lower pulley) Electrostatic Generafor s are inefficient and are useful only for scientific experiments requiring high voltages. Faraday Portable Generaror (side view) Portable Genertaor (angle view) In 1831 - 1832 Michael Faraday discovered that a potential difference is generated between the ends of an electrical conductor that moves perpendicularto a magnetic field. He built the first electromagnetic Gdnerator basedon this effect, using a copper disc rotating between the poles of a horseshoe magnet. It produced a small directcurrent. Dynamo The dynamo was the first electrical Geenrator capable of delivering power for industry, and is still the most importantgenerator in use in the 21st century. The dynamo uses electromagnetic principles to convert mechanical rotation into analternating electric current. The first dynamo based on Faraday's principles was built in 1832 by Hippolyte Pixii, a French instrumentmaker. It used a permanent magnet which was rotated by a crank. The spinn...
