About This Product
As the wheel spins the dynamo, the changing magnetic field around the coil induces an alternating voltage that students can see light the LEDs, sound the buzzer or move the meter. Connecting a multimeter set to low AC voltage and cranking at different speeds links the rate of turning to the output, a practical way into electromagnetic induction and renewable energy. Laboratories and colleges in Fiji, Mauritius, Palestine, Costa Rica and Belarus can buy the Bicycle Wheel Dynamo Model STEM Lab through an export order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of current does the Bicycle Wheel Dynamo Model produce?
