experiment rotate magnet electricity led

rotating a magnet near copper wire will generate a charge:

rotation point (e.g. axle) with block magnets attached

connect the ends of the wires (wrapped around the box containing the magnet rotation area) to an led light

(Energy is conserved: mechanical energy is turned into electrical energy)

suggested materials: neodymium (rare earth, super strong) circular magnets wood axle (not metal?) thinner wire (42 AWG) means more coils insulated hookup wire to connect to the thin coiled copper wire (to connect to the led)

constant rotation = dynamo = direct current shaking = alternator = alternating current
