How To Make A Power Generator

Posts Tagged ‘Copper Coil’

I’m trying to create electricity to power a small computer fan by spinning a neodymium magnet surrounded by copper wire. My problem is the fan, like many things, has a positive and negative lead and so if I hook up the power from the copper coil to the positive lead then where would I attach the negative lead so that It completes the circuit?

The fan has 2 leads, and the copper coil has 2 leads, so hooking the two together should be easy. However, there are other potential problems with your experiment:

1. Please watch this animation for a simple DC generator:

Observe that the output wires are pressing against a SPLIT-ring "commutator". This split-ring automatically switches the polarity every 1/2 rotation. Without a split-ring commutator, the output of this simple generator would be AC and not DC.

2. I would suggest that you experiment with a simple DC generator or dynamo — like the kind that rides against a bicycle tire, to power a bicycle light — before you attempt to build your own DC generator from scratch. The reason is this: your home-made generator (first attempts) will only be a few % efficient, so they won’t power the small computer fan.

Good luck!

Your wire has two ends, and depending on the orientation of your magnet relative to the loop, the direction you wound the loop, and the direction you spin the magnet, one wire will be positive, and one will be negative. The magnet needs to be oriented and spun so that the loop passes through the poles of the magnet. If the magnet poles and coil are lined up so that the poles don’t move in relation to the loop, you won’t generate any current (for example, the coil is laid on the horizontal plane, the magnetic poles are aligned vertically, and you rotate the magnet so that the poles stay vertical).

Buy a socket at the hardware store and attach it to the output terminals of your generator. You should also provide a ground from the socket and ground the body of your system

I have a Design for a generator that runs off of magnets it will make coal and oil generators obsolete. But im only 14 and don’t know how to get my generator out into the world. Does anyone have any websites or people they think i should contact to further my idea?
It defies no laws of physics and i have talked to about a dozen scince teachers, mechanics the like when they see my desinge they see nothing wrong with it. It will work if build properly. If you wanna prove me wrong send me in the direction of a place that can help me build it.
It is quite simply a tube with a copper coil around it bent into a circle. A wire that can hold its shape will be put into the tube and the magnet will be put on it. Then four magnets will be placed at the correct angles useing wires so that the magnet will be pushed from magnet to magnet.By the time one magnet is to far away the next one will kick in. The wire frame will prevent the magnet from flipping which it tries to do first. That way it will never stop and generate a large amount of energy

This is a perpetual motion machine, the third this week. You are probably the 10000 th person who though they had a magnetic motor perpetual motion machine designed.

and they were all wrong. It’s impossible, it violates some of the most basic laws of physics.

So unless you have a working model, forget it and spend your time working on something that is more practical.

Ok here’s the deal i have this awesome design for a generator its a circular machine with magnets pointing in a way that it will push another magnet through coils indefinitely. So my question is will it go forever if built correctly.
okay ppl stop saying it wont work just tell me if it is POSSIBLE is it possible that one magnet can push another magnet throuhg a copper coil to generate energy thats it. Do you think its possible.

You’re not the first one to have this idea.
It didn’t work for them and it won’t work for you either
(despite what you might see on YouTube)
