This goes with it
Description
Product overview
- Small hand-crank generator for manually generating electricity
- Made of wood with a compact design
- Supplies DC voltage for powering LEDs or small loads
- Output power well below 1 W
- Without connecting cable or plug; wiring must be installed on site
- Suitable for demonstration purposes and physics experiments in schools
Product description
This hand-crank generator produces electricity through mechanical rotation. Its operating principle is based on electromagnetic induction as the internal magnet passes through the coil. The generated DC voltage can be connected directly to LEDs or similar low-power loads.
The low output power limits its use to applications with loads consuming less than a few hundred milliwatts. The available energy is insufficient for bright lighting or operating motor circuits. The wooden construction makes the device easy to handle, but the housing should be protected from moisture.
In physics lessons, the generator clearly demonstrates how mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. By using different rotation speeds, students can directly observe the relationship between motion and electricity generation. The principle can also be used in learning activities on renewable energy or simple electrical circuits.
No additional power sources are required for operation, as the crank supplies all the energy itself. However, connecting wires must be soldered or attached to the output terminals or contacts. The generator operates reliably with loads below 50 mA and voltages of approximately 3 to 6 V.
Safety information
The hand crank and moving parts can cause pinching or injuries when turned quickly; hair and loose clothing must be kept away. The device is intended exclusively for demonstrations, educational purposes, and experimentation. It is not intended for connection to power supplies or household installations.
