6.1.6 Generators

For the lesson today, you are going to use VEX parts to design and test a hand crank generator

Step1) Open the worksheet for 6.1.6 Generators.  Read it all of the way through and make a copy into your GTT Turn in Folder to be turned in before Friday.  

Your prototype will be graded based on this rubric - please read it all of the way through before starting your build. Design Brief for you to fill in, but it does not need to be turned in.

Step 2) Watch the video below for some building tips that may be useful in your build today.

Step 3) Using the VEX parts from your Basic Kit, and working with your group mates, design and build a prototype for a hand crank generator that will provide a near constant power supply to light your LED.
