AI Thread Summary
A user is attempting to build a small generator to power a 60-watt light bulb but is struggling to produce a charge due to design issues. They initially misunderstood the requirements for disrupting magnetic fields to generate electricity. After some investigation, they discovered that they were using bare wire instead of enameled wire, which is necessary for their design. They found helpful resources online, particularly focusing on stator and magnet rotor configurations. The user resolved their issue and plans to utilize the information for future projects.

Alright for a few days now I have been working on a small little cute generator. I want it to power a 60 watt light bulb and that's about it

Now my design goes off of what I know and what I have been able to scrounge up but of course it is almost impossible to find anything relevant without paying for info since the internet is full of the "power your house for free (at the cost of this manual)" I don't want to run my house on self made power I just want this little light to light

Any way here is my design

From what I understand what I need to do is disrupt the magnetic fields of the wire which produces a charge?

Well I cannot produce a charge with this design could somone tell me what I am doing wrong and how I can fix this? Please and thank you

Take a look at this webpage,

Scroll down to the "Stator," and "Magnet Rotor" links. Those should help you with this design.

actually I found out what my problem was ._.

Its a bit of the moron moment syndrome... Looking at the package of wire I bought I noticed it was bare wire not enameled ...

Sorry for the bother though I did look at the website and will save it for future use
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
