STEM Machine and Generator Building Kit
Electric motors and generators can be found in countless devices, appliances, and vehicles that we use every day. They are a fundamental technology in our modern world. With this kit, you can conduct 25 experiments to learn how an electric motor converts electrical energy into motion and how an electric generator works in reverse, converting motion into electrical energy.
The electric motor is made from clear plastic, allowing you to see how its internal parts function. Set the motor to operate with batteries and learn how it works. Then, configure the device to work in reverse as an electric generator using manual motion. Experience the power of magnetism and how magnetic fields interact with electric current.
Build simple circuits that include a motor or generator, wires, and a light bulb to learn about the flow of electricity. Discover gears and transmissions and how they effectively convert kinetic energy into electrical energy and vice versa. The 48-page, full-color manual guides you through the experiments with step-by-step instructions. It includes 12 pieces, an instruction manual, and information.
