Alternators
Permanent Magnet Alternators
A permanent magnet alternator is a power generating device that produces a sinusoidal output when a mechanical input to its hub or shaft is applied. This device is constructed very much like a brushless motor with the appropriate selection of insulation materials and winding to match the environment and application. Essentially, an alternator is to a brushless motor what a tachometer is to a brush-type motor except that the alternator's application is power generation instead of rate feedback.
