[QUOTE="KevinCuellar, post: 49805, member: 6686"] There are two forms of electricity: AC - alternating current, and DC - direct current. AC is used to transmit electricity of very large distances. The reason is because there is very little heat loss (in comparison) to DC over large distances and a lot less energy waste. AC is the type of electricity in the power lines and also the socket in the wall at your home. DC is direct, like lightning or the stuff that powers computers, home appliances, etc... Both are dangerous at voltages higher than 30 volts (given that there is enough electrical supply or current) These two forms of electricity can be interchanged with little energy loss in the process. This requires an intermediate circuit design. It will often involve diodes to rectify an AC signal into a flat horizontal line with constant polarity (does not switch the directions of the electrons). Generators can be AC or DC. It takes some form of mechanical energy (like the momentum of the water in a river or combustion) and converts it into either AC or DC. A generator can even be designed to output both on two separate power line!!
