POWER & ENERGY: Electromagnetic Generator Student Work

• As an assignment, I was assigned to create a framework of assembling a structure that uses energy by the hand force or another option of using the source of wind. It was pretty amazing how assembling the structure can be enjoyable once the light bulb actually lights up. It was fun making this simple structure in the goal of lighting up the LED light and I hope you enjoy this craft. View Images Provided for better understanding when creating your own prototype.

10pc of Popsicle sticks

Motor Housing,

A tire/Wheel that attaches comfortably through the motor housing,

Your color choice of a 3mm LEDS,

LEGO - compatible Motor cover,

2ct CD,

hot glue gun,

pack of hot glue sticks,

10’’ by 8’’ cardboard

When assembling the stand of holding the motor house, I gathered the motor house, 8 pieces of Popsicle sticks, the LEGO - compatible Motor cover with the use of the hot glue gun.

Hot glue the three out of the four sides of the motor house (not gluing the side where the motor wheel must meet and making sure that the head with the wires is facing up, as shown in the images follow.) with the Popsicle sticks. I hot glue the LEGO- compatible Motor cover to the three Popsicle sticks that hold the motor house. After that, I hot glue the base of the LEGO- compatible Motor cover to the cardboard surface for extra protection when it is in use. After hot gluing LEGO- compatible Motor cover, hot glue three Popsicle in each side of the LEGO- compatible Motor cover on it’s side Hot glue a Popsicle stick in an angle (like a triangle) where both ends of the Popsicle stick meets and hot glue a Popsicle stick at angle where both ends of the Popsicle stick meets (this stick hold the black wire )

When creating the stand that holds the wire, first create an Uppercase T with 2 Popsicle sticks, hot glue them together. At a desirable length (approximately 4 inches) away from the motor house stand, hot glue gun the T-Popsicle stick upside down. (this would hold the red wire.

When assembling the wheel, I use 2 pieces of CD, a wheel that is compatible with the motor house, and stabilizing it with hot glue.

Place a CD at the side of the wheel, where it is centered with the wheel and hot glue, do this same step with the other side of the wheel. Attach the compatible hole of the compatible wheel to the side of the motor house where they both meet.

When assembling the wires and the LED, I used the wires that were provided with the motor house, Your color choice of a 3 mm LED and stabilizing it with hot glue.

Take both of the wire ends of the LED (lengthy) and make a V shape with both of them. With the pre-cut red and black wires, make sure that the end of both wires are straight (like a fine art brush) and loop the wire through the V shape LED wire (make sure that the black and red wire does not touch each other) Hot glue the wires to it’s directed Popsicle stick (view more information from STEP 1)

After following these steps and Testing if the prototype works, your work is done Thank you very much for following along with this project and I hope you enjoyed the interactions of creating your own prototype.
