- Description
Description
This versatile hand-crank generator allows students to generate electrical energy and learn what variables affect the output voltage. The generator works by rotating a series of magnets in front of a coil which induces a voltage in the coil. The induced voltage and current are powerful enough to light multiple LEDs and a mini-incandescent bulb.
Features
- Eight removable magnets allow students to vary the number and polarity arrangement
- Compatible with Modular Circuits coil modules for changing the number of wire turns
- Gearing helps students to control the speed of the rotating magnets
- Measure angular speed using the built-in photodetector with a Wireless Smart Gate
- Works as a motor when connected to the Wireless AC/DC Module
Applications
- Determine which variables affect the induced voltage
- Design a generator for maximum power output based on the circuit load
- Investigate mechanical versus electrical energy
- Create a motor by making the magnets rotate using an AC signal or a Blockly program
What’s Included
- 1x Generator module
