Aim
The aim of the project is to generate power from water using dynamo.
Problem statement
Material used
DC Motor with propeller (used as dynamo)
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output:White LED.
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
DC MOTOR
The function of DC motor is to refer to any rotary electrical machine that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy..
WHITE LED
The function of the WHITE LED is to emit the light.
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor DC Motor and control the White LED.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
When the propeller rotates by the water, it makes the dynamo DC motor produce electricity. This electrical energy lights up the white LED, showing that the propeller’s mechanical motion can generate electrical energy and power the light. It’s like a simple way of converting movement into light.
NOTE: DC motor is the device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. Dynamo is the device which converts mechanical energy to electric energy.
