Generator From Motor. Very Simple.
Generator From Motor. Very Basic Model.
Here we used two 12 Volts toy/ Old Tap-recorder Motors(From trash). One as a Motor ( Turbine) and other one as a Generator/alternator. A white LED is connected as a Load to the Generator Output.
Note That this is seems to be a Motor-Generator Set, but No.. Because Motor-Generator Set ( AC Motor and DC Generator) used as a Convertor (AC to DC and vice versa), and here we used it for glowing an LED ( For showing that how can we use a DC motor as a DC Generator).
Here, we are going to step by step procedure.
Requirements:
- 2 Toy or Old Tap recorders Motor (one as a motor and other as a generator)
- 1 LED
- One big rubber band as a belt
- 2 pulleys (one small and other is large one)
- Flexi wire
- 4 screws
- Wooden piece
- Metal strip
Procedure:
- Install both motors (one as a motor and other one as a generator) on wooden piece tightly by metal strip and tight the screws.
- Connect both motors (one as a motor and other one as a generator) by rubber band or belt which is fixed in the pulley.
- Connect an LED to the generator output (Red and black)
- Connect the motor with 12VDC, and run it as a turbine. It will rotate the armature of generator by belt and current will produce in the generator that will glow the LED.

Output dc or ac
DC suply
Obviously! DC..Because we used 12V DC Motor as a Generator..So Out put will be DC.
But what's the use of it? To get DC ( from Motor used as DG) we need to feed DC to Motor
Could you please send me a contact for the manufacture and supply of alternators and electric motors.
