AI Thread Summary
To calculate the power generated by a DC generator for charging a 6V battery, the voltage can be determined using the equation E = N B v sin(theta). However, to find the actual power output, the resistance of the load (light bulb) must be known, as power is calculated using P = V^2/R. The generator's impedance also needs to be considered to accurately assess the power delivered to the battery. Understanding these variables will help in determining how effectively the battery can be charged to power the light bulb for the desired duration. Proper calculations will ensure the project meets its energy requirements.

Hi, I'm trying to work on this interesting little project that involves charging a 6V battery using a simple DC generator powered by a wheel spun manually. The equations for the DC generator output would be :


E = N B v sin(theta) x 10-8

if I'm correct. E being the voltage, N=number of turns, B=flux density, and theta is the angle between the coil's vector and the magnetic field.

My problem is, this only gives me the voltage. How would I get the actual power generated by the generator? All I know about the battery is that it is 6V and 5AH.

My goal is to have the battery power up a light bulb for a given duration. Any ideas?

P = V^2/R

If the generator gives the impedance you can plug the numbers.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
