Description:

Wooden Hand Electricity Generator – Energy Transformation: A Wooden Hand Electricity Generator is a device that converts manual kinetic energy, generated by turning a hand crank, into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. It demonstrates the fundamental concept of transforming physical effort into usable electricity.
  1. Hand Crank: A wooden hand electricity generator typically consists of a wooden handle or crank. When a child turns the crank by hand, they are applying kinetic energy to the system. This kinetic energy is in the form of rotational motion.
  2. Generator Mechanism: Inside the generator, there is a mechanical component called a generator or dynamo. The kinetic energy from turning the crank is transferred to this generator mechanism.
  3. Electromagnetic Induction: The generator mechanism usually contains coils of wire and magnets. As the crank turns, it causes the magnets to move relative to the coils of wire. This motion induces a flow of electrons in the wire due to electromagnetic induction. This process converts the kinetic energy from the hand crank into electrical energy.
  4. Electrical Output: The electrical energy generated by this process is typically used to power small LED lights, bulbs, or other low-power devices that are connected to the generator. This demonstrates the practical application of the generated electricity.

Learning outcome:
