  • That's cool, didn't know Lego had motors know, but you can do that will any electric motor, its the same principal as a generator. Cool though.

  • @lpboy2002 Yes I know, but lego motors have good efficiency and they have a internal gearing system that makes it to act better as dynamo than a normal electric motor.

    Now lego have other motors (in the NXT series) that are servomotors, so they can't be used as dynamo.

  • where did you get that lego motor..

  • @parag106 I bought it in ebay, you can search too for a shop near your city in bricklink com

  • you put a hamster on that weel and let there be light:D

  • @RGclips no, it's a motor, but motors and dynamos are basically the same thing, so this lego motor can be used as dynamo with very good results because its internal gearing.

  • Its pretty cool, they have added a lot of stuff since I was little and played with legos!

  • danky78, yeah I looked at some of there motors since viewing, I never thought they would put electric motors in their products, its pretty cool, they have added a lot of cool stuff since I was little and played with legislation.

  • @CognitiveNetwork Most of the Red LEDs I've worked with run about 2.8V and 20-25mA. Most of the 3mm and 5mm ones I've seen don't run over 25mA.

  • got a tut?

    

  • man you're genius

  • Wow, that generates a surprising amount of power! Whats the maximum output of the motor?
