Can a function generator be used with ac/dc motor to increase or decrease its frequency?
Rick and Brian T have given first-classification solutions so i visit shrink my answer to describing a case the place automobiles are used as turbines. Many turbine pushed plane use an identical rotating DC gadget through fact the starter motor and the generator, or a minimum of between the turbines. that's a very often asked question and as generally occurring, somebody has shown that they don't comprehend the self-excited DC generator. those machines do not choose for a separate excitation furnish through fact they generate their very own from the residual magnetism in the stator laminations. an previous type DC vehicle generator is a classic occasion of this.
With an AC only motor if the function generator is connected to an amplifier yes it can. If it's a AC/DC brush motor like in a vacuum cleaner you can just use a simple control circuit. Look up triacs and light dimmers.
I doubt it. The only function generators I have come across have very minimal power output.
