Electromagnetic Generator
Design and construct an electromagnetic generator using the supplies in your kit and/or supplies from home. The generator should convert mechanical energy into electrical energy to power at least one LED.
Step 1
Start the project with a 10"x5" foam platform. Make a ramp piece that can fit the motor and be inserted into a pre-cut hole in the main platform.
Step 2
Make a handle from popsicle sticks and hot glue it to disc.
Step 3
Attach motor to center of disc, and connect LED to the wires of the motor.
Step 4
Connect motor to ramp and connect ramp to platform. Route cable through opening that goes under that platform.
Step 5
Cut out a slit at the end of the platform and wedge the wire and LED in there.
