This group gathers electrical engineering inventions that generate electrical power or convert electricity into mechanical motion, including the electric generator, dynamo, alternator, electric motor, starter motor, solar cell and wind turbine. Their shared work is producing electricity or turning it into rotary force, as distinct from the circuit components that regulate or use that power once produced and the transportation systems that apply motor power specifically to moving a vehicle or train.
