Use a documented enclosed educational generator to observe mechanical work becoming electricity.
- 1External work or motion
- 2Guarded rotor / spring / coupling
- 3Matched generator / sensor
- 4Measured load and losses
Site and operating requirements
- Identify the external energy input and the maximum permitted rotor, bearing and spring limits from the selected kit.
- Use a stable dry bench, guards and a clear stop procedure. Do not increase speed to chase a voltage reading.
Tools and measuring equipment
- Ruler/caliper, tachometer or timed revolution count, correctly rated meter and the manufacturer’s matched leads and loads.
Output and operating conditions
Genecon V3: maximum 3 V DC; a continuous current or wattage rating is not published. Measure loaded V × I. Output stops when cranking stops.
OEM dimensions below belong only to Genecon V3. PASCO EM-8090 separately documents a permanent-magnet motor used as a generator.Parts, quantities and dimensions
| Part | Quantity | Specification / dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| Narika Genecon V3 | 1 | B10-2634-W0; 115 × 140 × 43 mm; about 120 g; polycarbonate enclosure; maximum 3 V DC. |
| Supplied lead | 1 | 1 m lead with alligator clips. |
| Compatible lamp module / meter | 1 | Use the manufacturer’s matched low-voltage load. Current rating is not verified; do not substitute a phone. |
Preparation and component checks
- Check the 115 × 140 × 43 mm enclosure, handle clearance and 1 m lead on the named V3 unit. Do not open the casing or attach an unknown generator load.
- Record voltage across the matched load. For current, use the correct fused current range and series connection; never place a meter in current mode across the output.
Procedure
- 1
Inspect the enclosed generator and matched load; keep the apparatus dry.
- 2
Connect the matched lamp with the supplied lead while the handle is stopped.
- 3
Turn slowly as directed by the manual. Observe the lamp and stop; observe the loss of output.
- 4
Use a correctly configured meter to record loaded voltage and current; calculate W = V × A.
Safety and inspection
Keep the casing fitted. Never connect external power, mains wiring or a battery unless the manufacturer specifically permits it.
Verify the result
A magnet supplies a field, not an ongoing fuel supply. Do not transfer specifications between models.
Measurement log
- Load identity, direction and duration of cranking, loaded V and A measured together, calculated W, and time until the lamp goes out after stopping.
Maintenance and repeat checks
- Inspect the housing, handle and clips before each session. Stop if the handle binds, housing cracks or leads become hot.
Troubleshooting
- No output, abnormal heat, noise, vibration or leaks
- Stop and isolate first. Check the documented input, load compatibility, alignment and connections; keep guards fitted and refer specialist systems to their installer.
