@wbeaty sir im from INDONESIA, and how can i find these stuff, if i order from radio shack i must be in USA, can i use another product, but you said please use the listed PARTS

simpler one : Put 2 giant magnets. Then put a magnetic rod on the middle. Next puttwo magnetic rings at the end. Next put brushes next to the rings. Next step, connect wires.
Done!

what formula could i use on this one?and do you know any ways on how to measure the magnet strength?Thanks alot!!=)))

Can i use copper wire to wind around the box?

@wbeaty what tape?electrical or any type?

@wbeaty what kind of tape?electrical?or any kinds?

@agentdeidara if you clean all the plastic off of about a half inch of the end of the coil and the end of the new wire, you can twist the ends together solidly, with lots of twists. Then cover the twists with tape.
I use fine sandpaper to take all the plastic coating off of the ends. The bare metal much be touching together.

I have a question sir.I have coiled for around 300 turns already and I already cut it.but I want to have 200 more coils.what could I do?

@Ricardihno90 first make several cardboard generators to learn all the tricks. Plastic one requires power tools. If you're old enough to use a power saw safely, then you can figure out your own plastic version. Just keep the plastic housing small and fairly thin, so the wire coil is held very close to the magnets.

@sarahboumatar281994 This project is designed for cardboard, and for a small amount of wire, so it only makes about 3/4 volts output. You can try a red LED too, but you'll have to spin the magnets way faster. Or just wind 2x more wire on the coil.
See the main article for changes needed if you want more volts. Expensive neodymium magnets would do it. Or use 2000 turns of wire, not just 200 turns. Or use a machine shop to make a professional generator with close-fitting steel parts. |
