Who invented DC current?

Edison developed direct current -- current that runs continually in a single direction, like in a battery or a fuel cell. During the early years of electricity, direct current (shorthanded as DC) was the standard in the U.S. But there was one problem. Direct current is not easily converted to higher or lower voltages.

Who invented generator?

This is Michael Faraday's generator. This apparatus consists of a tube of neutral material wound with a coil of wire, insulated in cotton, and a bar magnet. Ten years after Faraday created the electric motor he returned to his electrical research and discovered electromagnetic induction in August 1831.

Is a dynamo AC or DC?

Dynamo is an older term used to describe a generator that makes direct current power. DC power sends electrons in only one direction. The problem with a simple generator is that when the rotor rotates it eventually turns completely around, reversing the current.
