In this article we will discuss about the construction and working of thermionic generator with the help of a suitable diagram. i. A thermionic converter/generator comprises a heated cathode (electron emitter) and an anode (electron collector) separated by ‘vacuum’, the electrical output circuit being connected between the two as shown in the Fig. 9.7. […]

Electrostatic Mechanical Generators: With Diagram | Energy Management
Article shared by :
In this article we will discuss about the working of electrostatic mechanical generators with the help of a suitable diagram. Electrostatic mechanical generators convert mechanical energy, usually mechanical potential energy of a fluid, directly into electrical energy. Fig. 9.27 shows the principle of working of liquid drop electrostatic mechanical generator. In this, the gravitational potential […]
