A DC-to-DC converter is an electronic circuit or electromechanical device that converts a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another. It is a type of electric power converter. Power levels range from very low (small batteries) to very high (high-voltage power transmission).

Is there an Optimal RPM for a DC generator??
I would like to ask if there is an optimal rpm for a DC generators? Or the faster it rotates, the more power it generates?
