Power Generation
| Division: | International / None | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Yukon Stikine | | City: | Whitehorse, YT | | School: | Holy Family Elementary | | Abstract: | We built an electric generator using materials from a hardware store. We wanted to see how much voltage we could produce. We learned that as we increased the speed of the drill and the amount of wire on a coil but decreased the distance between the magnet and coil, more electricity was produced. Temperature did not make a significant difference in the power generated. |
