Electric Motor
Author: Srinivasan
An Electric Motor uses electrical energy to produce mechanical energy, very typically through the interaction of magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors. The reverse process, producing electrical energy from mechanical energy, is accomplished by a generator or dynamo. Many types of electric motors can be run as generators, and vice versa. For example a starter/generator for a gas turbine or traction motors used on vehicles often perform both tasks.
The physical principle of production of mechanical force by the interactions of an electric current and a magnetic field was known as early as 1821. Electric motors of increasing efficiency were constructed throughout the 19th century, but commercial exploitation of electric motors on a large scale required efficient electrical generators and electrical distribution networks.
Some devices, such as magnetic solenoids and loudspeakers, although they generate some mechanical power, are not generally referred to as electric motors, and are usually termed actuators and transducers, respectively.

Where can I find a back-pack gas powered electric generator?
…with AC outlets.
To power my laser gun.
I want to walk around like a Ghostbuster with a Proton Accelerator on my back.

This is what you are looking for,

expect to pay alot, they ain’t cheap.
you need a seperate one for the generator
Natural gas powered electric generator?
Where can i get information on installation and system design of a small to medium natural gas powered electric generator?
I would like information like gas consumption, power output, efficiency, mantainence, costs the whole nine yards
What kind of gas regulator do I need for my 45k electric generator?
The gas meter is 200 feet away. The gas company wants to put a high pressure regulator at the meter and a low pressure regulator at the building to service to building and the generator. Is that right or do I need a separate regulator for the generator?
It is possible change a propane electric generator to work with Brown gas??
How can I to make??
Is it simple only change then put brown gas?
I think you mean Brown’s gas, which is a mixture of H2 and O2.
Probably yes. but Brown’s gas takes a lot of power to produce, more than your electric generator can output, by probably 5:1
So you will wind up using 1000 watts of power to produce a few hundred watts.
Obviously check the circuit breakers first. Depending on the model, you may need to flash the field coil. Two methods to try…
1. Plug an electric drill into the generator receptacle. If the drill is reversible, move the direction switch to the forward position.
Start the generator. While depressing the trigger on the drill, spin the drill chuck in reverse direction. This will excite the field and the generator will now produce electricity. If spinning the chuck one direction does not work, try spinning the chuck in the other direction as you may have the reverse switch positioned backwards.
Use caution not to get your hand or other materials caught in the chuck. As soon as the field is excited, the generator will produce power and the drill will turn on.
2. Shut off the engine and remove any cords from the generator. Plug in a cord with bare wires on the other end to one of the 120VAC outlets. Connect one end of the cord to a car battery. Very quickly touch the other wire to the other battery terminal. Do not leave it there longer than to create a few sparks or you may destroy the windings. If the residual magnetism in the alternator had weakened, this may be enough to get it started again.
I have DeVilbiss manuals on my web page.

Otherwise look for a manual for your generator here.

No electric power from gas generator?
My DeVilbiss 6000 watt generator will start but, no electric power from the receptacle. Only used a few times and it sits most of the time. Any suggestions? Thanks Geo
I would suggest you contact a manufacturer such as the one shown below.

Many of the gasoline models can be provided as natural gas or propane capable.
