The link to
commutator on this page points to the wrong entry. Maybe we need to add a second meaning to this entry to describe a commutator as a system of brushes and a collector to alternate the direction of current to/from the coils in an armature of an
electric motor or
electrical generator.
Describe various modern types of dynamos, three phase dynamos for mains power distribution and simple AC and DC dynamos for use in vehicles.
Also mention that a dynamo is constructed very similarly to an electric motor and most types of dynamos can be used as motors and vice versa, at least in theory.
