Cornelsen Experimenta 54850 Generator

Alternative energy source - generates the energy itself

The DynaMot is a multipurpose learning tool for learning electricity, much more than just a hand-held generator and electric motor. It helps your students explore and understand electrical concepts. It replaces batteries or other power generation devices.

By generating power with muscle power in its own right, students learn how energy flows, load carrier currents, voltages and power are connected and how they can influence it with different circuits. The DynaMot can be easily connected via the in-built 4 mm sockets and connected in this way with different actors and measuring instruments.

The DynaMot is robust, reliable and easy to use. It is the ideal companion for your DC experiments.

The experimental material includes a quick guide with illustrated and described setup and details about the technical details.

Examples of use in lessons

DynaMot supports the development of basic ideas about energy flows and the flow of charge carriers.
With the DynaMot students can understand the current concept, measure current and understand the mechanical parameters for energy transmission.
The DynaMot illustrates how to increase the power of the charge carrier current and allows you to experiment with parallel circuits of consumers.
The DynaMot provides a better understanding of the relationship between energy current and electron current when operating an electric motor.
With the DynaMot students can develop their ideas about the concept of voltage and examine series circuits.
The DynaMot helps define voltage in experiments.

To meet the specific requirements of the tests, the device has the following equipment: In manual mode voltages up to 8 V can be produced. With the speed of the crank handle that is easily accessible by students, the voltage is 5 to 6 V. This means that most incandescent lamps commonly used in the classroom can be operated without burning through.

The generator is short-circuit-proof. Generator, transmission and power transmission are designed in such a way that no mechanical damage to the device can occur even in short-circuit operation. The maximum occurring current load of approx. 8 A is good for the generator. The generator enables energy revenues that require physiologically clearly perceptible drive power in the range of 2 to 50 W (short-circuit operation). Nevertheless, the friction is so low that changes in the energy consumption of 2 W can be felt during cranking. The equipment consists of an electric motor with a flanged, low-noise transmission in transparent Plexiglas housing with 4-mm connecting jacks, crank handle and Cord pulley (replaceable), mounted on a stand rod with square cross section.
