Simple generator

now that is nerdy

hey is this more powerfull then a regular dc motor you can get out of a car
please get back to me as soon as possible, i have a very hard science project

add a pinwheel to it and make it windpowered!!! ^.^ just hold a fan to it or something ^.^

See 6:51 for more about the plastic version.

The handle should be replaced with a simple plastic lid, the little handle part going into the middle of the lid and 6 to 8 magnets should be placed around the lid, evenly spaced out.

then all you have to do is setup a magnet close to the new magnet ring and the pulling of the magnets will cause the lid to spin turning your motor and creating energy.

This one is fun but i like my way as you can maintain a steady flow of power indefinitely.

> steady flow of power indefinitely

Lots of hoaxers post videos of Free Energy devices. But serious hobbyists are looking for FE too. After many decades nobody yet has succeeded, go see the Peswiki site for lots of info about hoaxers and serious experimenters.

If someone offers to sell you a Tesla Roadster for $500, be suspicious. If someone says they can make gold out of inexpensive chemicals, be suspicious. If someone says they've made a successful magnet energy source, be suspicious.

Is it possible to add a little crank, like you did on the plastic generator, to the cardboard one? It would be alot easier to turn than just a nail since the nail is so thin.

> add a little crank

Cranks don't work, not for spinning the magnets ten times per second! A crank is way, way too slow.

If you use a nail, you can twiddle it between your fingers to make the magnet spin around like a blur. It's easy to spin it faster than ten times per second.

Hm yeah...Now that I think about it, a crank would be too slow for such a small thing. Cranks are better for bigger things. Haha, thanks beaty.
