| hydro-electric | Pertaining to, employed in, or produced by, the evolution of electricity by means of a battery in which water or steam is used. <physics> Hydro-electric machine, an apparatus invented by Sir William Armstrong of England for generating electricity by the escape of high-pressure steam from a series of jets connected with a strong boiler, in which the steam is produced. Origin: Hydro-, 1 + electric. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| dynamo-electric | <physics> Pertaining to the development of electricity, especially electrical currents, by power; producing electricity or electrical currents by mechanical power. Origin: Gr. Power + E. Electric. See Dynamic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
