Simple Electric Generator

In an ELECTRIC GENERATOR is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces electric current to flow through an external circuit. 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. Generators provide nearly all of the power for electric power. Generators provide nearly all of the power for electric power grids.
In this project of wooden ELECTRIC GENERATOR that really works and can light up a small lamp. You will then use this generator to see how does the speed of turning rotor affect the output voltage of the generator. The electric generator you make will also show how a moving magnet can induce electrical energy in a wire without touching it.
A generator is made of wood. The only non-wood components in this generator are wire and magnet. Compare to other construction materials, wood is easier to use and you can easily use wood glue to connect the pieces together. When you buy a t for this project, in addition to the wood parts that are cut to size, you will also get an strong magnet and appropriate wires for your generator. Kits also include some kind of lamp and a base for it.
The success rate in making a working electric generator is about 96%. Most failures are caused by not reading the instructions. The remaining failures is due to not knowing the basic knowledge of electricity. Please do not select this project if you have never made a Simple Electrical Circuit.




New Simple Electric Generator made at Home to Do your small works when Electricity is not there.


Thanks.
