About using motors generators to generate electricity?

(sorry for my English) i don't know anything about electricity generation but i ask this with a curiosity ok. a factory open 8.00 am to 4.00 pm and using 80kWh der day or 10000 w electricity in a given time it generate electricity by a diesel generator.is it possible to use a small diesel generator to generate enough power to run a motor and connect that motor to large power generator to generate whole electricity need for factory so we can save diesel and money possible or not

Answer:

No, it is not possible. All energy conversion devices are less than 100% efficient.
confusing subject check out in the search engines that will might help
Definitely, Not. In simple terms, the small motor would not turn the large power generator.
Yet another perpetual motion machine, which violates the very basic laws of physics and is not possible. Think about it. If this were possible, why would we ever use any oil or gas or any other resource, we could all have these machines to generate our power and drive our automobiles.
A perpetual motion machine is one that makes more power than is used to run/rotate it. In your case you want a small engine to run a large generator. But the power of a large generator is only a portion of the energy going into it - there are losses due to friction, electromagnetic heating, and resistance losses in the wiring. There is, in fact, a rule of thermodynamics, that no process is loss free, much less producing extra power. Much more complex schemes than yours have been proposed (and cheated investors) since powered mechanical devices were invented. The best we can do is make devices more efficient to lose less power.
