Dynamo Moscow Sports Club
Dynamo, also Dinamo, (; , Belarusian language, Belarusian: Дынама, ka, დინამო) was a sports and physical training, fitness society created in 1923 in the Soviet Union. The society was an association of multi-sport clubs whose members were drawn from the NKVD and, after World War II, the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Soviet Union), MVD and the KGB. With the Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe after World War II, similar Dynamo societies were established throughout the Eastern Bloc, such as SV Dynamo (East Germany). Since 2016, Vladimir Strzhalkovskiy is the Chairman of the Dynamo Society. Overview Name The name given to the society was supposed to mean "Power in Motion", taken from the Greek language, Greek: δύναμις; ''dynamis'' -power, and Latin: ''motio'', -motion.

"Dynamo Electric Machine" (end view, partly section, ) A dynamo is an electrical generator that creates direct current using 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 rectifiers (such as vacuum tubes or more recently via solid state technology) is effective and usually economical. History Induction with permanent magnets The Faraday disk was the first electric generator. The horseshoe-shaped magnet ''(A)'' created a magnetic field through the disk ''(D)''. When the disk was turned, this induced an electr ...
