Power Generator

Making an electric generator is a good way of learning the principles of generators. It also is an exciting science project. With this kit build your own miniature electric generator.

Fact:
A generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, and internal combustion engines and even hand cranks. The first electromagnetic generator, the Faraday disk, was invented in 1831 by British scientist Michael Faraday. Generators provide nearly all of the power for electric power grids and broken rock pieces.
