Hand Crank AC DC Generator Educational Model with Adjustable Load for Physics Lab and Teaching
Product description This demonstration generator kit lets instructors and students observe the difference between alternating current and direct current generation by changing brush positions and measuring output with a DC current meter. Key benefits Clear visualization of AC versus DC output by simple repositioning of brushes. Move the brushes to the commutator section to observe DC output; place them on the full slip ring to observe AC output. Handson learning of electromagnetic induction, commutation, and current collection principles using real components including a copper halfring and permanent magnetic field. Builtin measurement and circuit options allow experiments with external loads using a sliding rheostat and a DC current meter to study conversion behavior and output response. Main functions and behavior Demonstrates DC generation: when brushes contact the commutator part while the armature coil rotates in the permanent magnetic field, the external circuit remains stationary and the DC meter pointer deflects consistently in one direction, indicating direct current output. Demonstrates AC generation: as the armature coil rotates, the relative cutting direction through the magnetic field changes periodically. The induced electromotive force varies in direction and magnitude, producing alternating current that is supplied through the collector ring and brushes when the brushes are positioned on the full ring. Rectification demonstration: moving the brushes to the mid position on the slip ring where the copper halfring is rectified produces a DC output that can be observed with the meter. Experiment configuration: to demonstrate alternator behavior, position the brushes on the entire collector ring and connect a sliding rheostat and DC current meter to form the external circuit for adjustable load testing and to study conversion efficiency. Important attributes Function: educational demonstration of AC and DC generation, commutation, slip ring behavior, and the effects of brush placement. Materials: includes copper halfring for current collection and durable components for repeatable demonstrations; uses a permanent magnet to create the magnetic field. Compatibility: designed for classroom and instructional lab setups, physics courses, vocational training, and technical demonstrations that require a visible, handson generator model. Performance: produces observable meter deflection patterns for clear differentiation between AC and DC; supports external load adjustment via sliding rheostat for performance and conversion studies. Size and mounting: bench demonstration format suitable for classroom benches and laboratory tables. Use scenarios Physics classroom experiment: students change brush positions to compare alternating and direct current behavior, record meter readings, and explain induced electromotive force variations. Laboratory measurement and analysis: connect the sliding rheostat and DC meter to study how load and brush position affect output and conversion efficiency during controlled rotation of the armature. Technical training and demonstration: vocational courses and instructorled workshops use the unit to demonstrate commutator function, slip ring current collection, and rectification principles in rotating electrical machines. What you will observe Consistent meter deflection in one direction when brushes contact the commutator, indicating DC output. Periodic reversal and magnitude change of induced voltage when the armature rotates in the magnetic field, indicating AC generation when brushes contact the full slip ring. Ability to produce DC output by positioning brushes on the rectified copper halfring and measuring the result under different loads using the sliding rheostat. This demonstration unit provides a practical, handson way to teach and investigate the fundamental differences between alternators and DC generators, and to study the impact of brush placement, commutation, and external loading on electrical output.

Product is shipped from China.
Alternative shipping methods can be selected at checkout.
Products are shipped by the individual Fruugo retailers, who are located across Europe and the rest of the world. The delivery times and shipping prices vary depending on the retailer's location, the destination country and the selected delivery method.
Fruugo offers two delivery options: Standard Delivery or Express Delivery. All retailers offer a standard delivery service, and some retailers also offer an express delivery service.
- Standard Delivery – Domestic Standard delivery takes approximately 2-5 business days from dispatch, while an International Standard delivery takes 5-14 business days from dispatch. Normally track and trace and proof of delivery are not available on a standard service.
- Express Delivery – Domestic Express delivery takes approximately 1-2 business days from dispatch, while an International Express delivery takes 3-7 business days from dispatch. Usually track and trace and/or proof of delivery are available on an express service.
Although Fruugo retailers endeavour to deliver within these timescales, please note that the above timescales are estimated and not guaranteed.
The delivery timescales do not include any customs clearing times beyond Fruugo's control.
Please allow additional shipping time for deliveries to exceptional locations that are hard to reach, and also during busy periods such as Christmas.
All carriers deliver during normal business working hours and may require a signature on receipt, so please ensure your order is delivered to an address where someone will be available to accept it.
We do our best to ensure that the products that you order are delivered to you in full and according to your specifications. However, should you receive an incomplete order, or items different from the ones you ordered, or there is some other reason why you are not satisfied with the order, you may return the order, or any products included in the order, and receive a full refund for the items.
Certain products purchased at Fruugo cannot be returned. They fall in the following categories:
- goods which are clearly personalised or made to your specifications
- goods which are liable to deteriorate rapidly, eg fresh fruit, fresh flowers
- sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, if opened, eg make up, underwear, pierced jewellery
- sealed audio or video recordings or computer software, if opened
- newspapers, periodicals and magazines
Please take reasonable care of the goods whilst in your care. Any goods returned must be in a resaleable condition. They must be unworn/unused with original tags attached and in original packaging. It is your responsibility to ensure that the goods are appropriately packaged to ensure they are not damaged in return transit.
