The Faraday disk was the first electric generator. The horseshoe-shaped magnet (A) created a magnetic field through the disk (D). When the disk was turned, this induced an electric current radially outward from the center toward the rim. The current flowed out through the sliding spring contact m, through the external circuit, and back into the center of the disk through the axle.
The operating principle of electromagnetic generators was discovered in the years of 1831–1832 by Michael Faraday. The principle, later called Faraday’s law, is that an electromotive force is generated in an electrical conductor which encircles a varying magnetic flux.
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 use a rotating magnetic field with a stationary armature.[3] An alternator that uses a permanent magnet for its magnetic field is called a magneto. Alternators in power stations driven by steam turbines are called turbo-alternators.
Large 50 or 60 Hz three-phase alternators in power plants generate most of the world’s electric power, which is distributed by electric power grids. AC to be easily transformed to and from very high voltages to permit low losses over large distances.
Electricity generator. 19th-century illustration of the electromagnetic generator from the Alliance company, used to produce alternating electric current. Such generators uses magnets in the form of a dynamo to convert mechanical rotary motion into electrical power, generating electricity. The first electric generators were developed in the 1860s. This illustration is from ‘Physique Populaire’ (Emile Desbeaux, 1891).
Large power generation dynamos are now rarely seen due to the now nearly universal use of alternate current for power distribution. A small early 1900s 75 kVA direct-driven power station AC alternator, with a separate belt-driven exciter generator.
