The simpleGEN is an easy-to-build AC generator that allows students to explore the basics of electrical generator design. With the simpleGEN you can demonstrate Faraday’s law, light LEDs, and perform experiments that explore how coils, magnets and rotation affect electrical generation. With some quick modifications, you will also be able to convert your generator to a simple motor and explore additional variables.
Take your experiments to the next level by converting your simpleGEN to a wind turbine with the simpleGEN Wind Upgrade Pack. Make and test wind turbine blades with your generator.
Using a drill to spin the driveshaft and over 100-150 turns of wire, you will be able to light an LED and produce close to 2V at 20-50mA.
No. We recommend attaching it to a table with a clamp.
Yes! We wanted to make a very simple, rugged generator that would demonstrate the basics.
