Simple Electric generator II

This is my first attempt at a simple home made electric generator, made from enamelled wire,multi meter,crocodile clips,neo-dynium magnets and tape. Please tell me what you think

where do u get those things that tell u how much volts it is or whatever and how much do they cost?

[natacus2007]

You can get them in most hardware shops, they are called "multimeters" maybe around €15 or just use ebay ( dont get second hand ).

[chickenpoper]

i got mine at k-mart for 20 bux(25 bux if you get it with a special electricity finder pen)

[natacus2007]

Think you would have to use a rectifier or "wheatstone bridge" basically a setup of diode that will "filter " output voltage wave

how can it b converted to DC?

[salzahrah]

i noe this produces AC but is their anyway it can produce DC?

[silver760]

wrap wire around a cardboard tube and pass the magnets back and forth in the tube,would be better if you had some cylindrical magnets,you should get a couple of volts that way.

[silver760]

you need to pass the magnets through the coil,or wrap the wire around a carboard tube and pass the magnets back and forward in the tube,you should get a couple of volts doing it that way.

[AtvProjects]

you should of measured a smaller amount of volts, thats almost the same thing as a DC motor

No idea, just me playing around!
