Tranformers

A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively coupled conductors—the transformer's coils.

INDUCTION COIL

a type of disruptive discharge coil.
It is a type of electrical transformer used to produce high-voltage pulses from a low-voltage direct current (DC) supply. 

 ELECTRIC GENERATOR 

 Anyos Jediks

In electricity generation, an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces electrons in the windings to flow through the external electrical circuit. It is somewhat analogous to a water pump, which creates a flow of water but does not create the water inside. The source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine, water falling through a turbine or waterwheel, an internal combustion engine, a wind turbine, a hand crank, compressed air or any other source of mechanical energy.

The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by an electric motor, and motors and generators have many similarities. In fact many motors can be mechanically driven to generate electricity, and very frequently make acceptable generators.

Excitation (magnetic)

 An electric generator or electric motor consists of a rotor spinning in a magnetic field. The magnetic field may be produced by permanent magnets or by field coils. In the case of a machine with field coils, a current must flow in the coils to generate the field, otherwise no power is transferred to or from the rotor. The process of generating a magnetic field by means of an electric current is called excitation.

 Dynamo

 

 A dynamo (from the Greek word dynamis; meaning power), originally another name for an electrical generator, generally means a generator that produces direct current with the use of a commutator. Dynamos were the first electrical generators capable of delivering power for industry, and the foundation upon which many other later electric-power conversion devices were based, including the electric motor, the alternating-current alternator, and the rotary converter. Today, the simpler alternator dominates large scale power generation, for efficiency, reliability and cost reasons. A dynamo has the disadvantages of a mechanical commutator. Also, converting alternating to direct current using power rectification devices (hollow state or more recently solid state) is effective and usually economic.

TRANSFORMER robots - Chris Ryall

Christopher "Chris" Ryall (born on April 2, 1969) is best known as the Chief Creative Office and Editor-in-Chief of IDW Publishing (2004–Present), and as a writer in the comic book industry. In February 2011, his Eisner Award-nominated series, Zombies vs. Robots, co-created with artist Ashley Wood, was optioned by Sony Pictures for Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes. He lives in San Diego with his wife Julie and daughter Lucy. He really  love about the robotics.. Then after he gain his challenge to make a comics about on that their is some reason why he more extended the Topic about the Transformer that is now the famous movie.

 MY OPINION : 

How nice technology to have now in our new generation .. Everyone know how to make some robots to perform into our small world a nice inspiration.. Not all the time living human will work for everyday needs. Before transformer its just a plugging electricity to convert a certain thing to use by the person. But now it not only can convert electricity but also can transform just like that a robot.. Before during my childhood days transformer its just in the comics that i read. But in the real world transformer is a amazing gadgets that transform into a robotics statue. People are so intelligent to make this thing that combining all the types of transformer that it will transform to robots. Transformer perform a lot of thing into real world.
