This hand-held 12V Dynamo provides a simple demonstration of the conversion of
mechanical energy into electrical energy. Turning the handle generates
electricity - it's as simple as that. Have fun and learn about generating
electricity at the same time!
The generator is perfectly suited to experiments that explain the
mechanism of power generation in an easy and fun way. Its clear body allows the
mechanism to be seen while in use.
- 12V hand-held generator
- Colour-coded wires for positive and negative
- Toughened gears for prolonged use
Investigate:
- Generation of electricity - connection between work, speed of winding and
voltage
- As a power source for motors on models
- As a power supply for simple electricity experiments e.g. for series and
parallel light/circuits
- Demonstration of power line transmission (requires 2 dynamos)
- Charging a capacitor as an energy store
- Turning in which direction produces – or + electricity?
- Is it better to use an LED instead of a lamp bulb?
- Relationship between turns and electricity generated (power generation)
