Got Permanent Magnet Generator Questions?

Posts Tagged ‘wheel’

I had a few as a kid, and now i cant find them. Im looking for small like d battery size generators with low torque. the kind you could say.. hook up behind a toy pinwheel and the air would spin the wheel creating a small charge, also looking for small electric motors the same size, if anyone knows a web site please help. trying to save the world, lol. not really, just got an idea. and no its not the pinwheel idea but it helps define what im looking for. thanks a bunch.

1. Why is a generator armature more difficult to rotate when it is connected to and supplying electric current to a circuit.

2. Some bicycles have electric generators that are made to turn when the bike wheel turns. These generators provide energy for the bike’s lamp. Will a cyclist coast farther if the lamp connected to the generator is turned off?

I have a base scanner that is made to plug into the wall outlet in a house. I want to put that scanner in my personal vehicle so I can always listen to the radio traffic of the PD I work for. I want it all to be mounted and wired so that all of the wires are hidden, I don’t want to have to plug it into the cigarette lighter or anything. How would I go about wiring this up? Do I need to add a fuse, what source do I tap the electricity from, what supplies will I need, how should I route the wires? I’m planning on mounting it under the dash to the right of the steering wheel. Thanks.
I already said above that I don’t want any wires hanging out, it all needs to have the wires hidden away. I don’t want anything plugged into the cigarette lighter.

This way when the wheel turns, it generates electricity to run the car and thus making the car more or less self sustaining.
