Electric
Generator Science Kit: $25
Electric Generator Science set, also known as Wooden
Generator is a simple experiment of producing electrical
energy from mechanical energy. A moving magnetic field
in the center of a coil can produce enough electricity
to light up a light bulb (included) . The electric
generator that you make can also be used for your
presentation.

Opportunities
for Science Fair Projects
Making an electric generator provides many good options for a
science fair project. Some of the questions that can be used for
a science project are:
- How does the speed of rotor affect the production of
electrical energy in a generator?
- How does the diameter of wire coil affect the
production..........
- How does the number of coils........
In setting up your project, you would first state the
question or problem, then hypothesis, ( a guess as
the answer to your problem), next procedure to check the
hypothesis, and finally a conclusion that answers the
stated problem based on what you actually observe in your
research. In addition you may be interested in proposing your
own, specific research that will expand on your conclusion.
Since magnets are visually enticing in themselves as they
interact with each other, it would be strongly suggested that
your presentation include the apparatus you used in your
research.
