Dynamo, Inductor

A generator in which the armature or current-generating windings are all comprised upon the poles of the field magnets. Ma es of iron, which should be laminated and are the inductors, are carried past the field magnet poles concentrating in their pa age the lines of force, thus inducing currents in the coils. In one construction shown in the cut the field magnets a, a.. are U shaped and are arranged in a circle, their poles pointing inwards. A single exciting coil c, c... is wound around the circle in the bend of the V-shaped segments. The poles carry the armature coils e, e... The laminated inductors i, i... are mounted on a shaft S, by spiders h, to be rotated inside the circle of magnets, thus generating an alternating current. Synonym--Inductor Generator.
