Motor Generator Demonstration Kit — Energy Conversion & Simple Circuits STEM Kit with Online Step-by-Step Instructions
A hands-on assembly kit that couples two reversible electric machines so shaft rotation from a drive unit turns a second unit into a generator. The build demonstrates real physical energy transfer on a wooden board and supports documented experimentation through illustrated online guidance.
Product Specifications
Assembly Time Approximately 45 minutes Power Source 2× AA batteries, not included Tools Required Screwdriver; multimeter optional for the voltage measurement experiment Concepts Taught Energy conversion, simple circuits, DC/AC voltage, scientific method Motor/Generators 2 electric motor/generators Mounting Board 1 wooden mounting board Motor Mounts 2 plastic motor mounts Shaft Coupling 1 motor/generator connecting tube Lamp Components 1 lamp holder and 1 miniature lamp Switch 1 simple push-plate switch Battery Holder 1 2×AA battery holder Connection Wires 3 connection wires Fasteners 10 metal screws and 4 washers Interlock Tape 2 inch pair Not Included 2 AA batteries, screwdriver, multimeter needed only for the voltage measurement experiment
Applications and Benefits:
- Build a working motor-generator system and observe energy changing form.
- Show electrical energy becoming mechanical energy and then mechanical energy becoming electrical energy.
- Demonstrate open and closed simple electric circuits and the function of a switch.
- Compare how a motor and generator are the same machine operating in opposite directions.
- Demonstrate mechanical power transmission through a shaft coupling.
- Measure voltage with a multimeter and record data.
- Turn the build into a documented science fair project using the online guide.
- Use in middle and high school science classes.
- Use for science fair entrants.
- Use in homeschool physics units.
- Use in summer camps.
- Use for scouting merit badge work.
- Use in STEM clubs.
- Support energy-transfer and energy-conversion topics common to middle school physical science curricula.
- Provide a physical, hands-on kit instead of a simulation.
Caution:
Contains small parts and screws. Adult supervision required. Follow the assembly instructions in order and remove batteries when the project is not in use.
