How to Make a Simple Electric Generator(5)
Tips
You may want to fashion a small pulley and attach an electric motor to the shaft to produce enough RPMs to maintain an electric current.
Things You'll Need
1.Electric drill
2.Saw
3.22-28 ga. insulated or enameled copper wire. About 25 feet will produce a modest electrical current. More "windings", and larger wire, coupled with a stronger magnet will increase the power output.
4.3 or 4 inch bar magnet. (Should fit lengthwise in the cardboard tube, below, with a little clearance)
5.1/4 inch diameter steel or aluminum rod, 12 inches in length.
6.24 inches of 1X4 lumber.
7.4 inch paper or card board tube.
8.2 - 1/4 inch flat washers.
