Simple Generator


This extremely simple generator is designed to be used with a galvanometer. It will also light up an LED (light emitting diode). It is not powerful enough to run anything else. However, it does effectively demonstrate that a magnetic field moving through a conductor creates electricity.

Wait a minute! That's the same picture that was on the electromagnet page! Yup. Most of this paragraph is the same too! This is another demonstration of the connection between electricity and magnetism. If we move a magnetic field through the wire wraps, we make electricity! If we move electricity through the wires wrapped around the bolt, it makes an electromagnet. Neat, huh?
