Motors & Generators

Electric motors and generators are in countless devices, appliances, andvehicles we use every day. They are an essential technology in our modernworld. With this kit, you can conduct 25 experiments to learn how an electricmotor converts electricity into motion, and how an electric generator doesjust the opposite, converting motion into electricity. The electric motor ismade of transparent plastic to show how the inside components work. Set up themotor to run on battery power and learn how a motor works. Then reconfigurethe device to work in reverse as a hand-crank electric generator. Experimentwith magnets to learn about the force of magnetism, and how magnetic fieldsrelate to electric current. Build simple circuits consisting of the motor orgenerator, wires, and a light bulb to learn about the flow of electricity. Learn about gears and drive-trains and how they work to effectively convertkinetic energy into electrical energy and back again. The full-colour, 48-pagemanual guides your experiments with step-by-step instructions.
