We need to understand how to make electric generators are before we follow some steps. Electric generators are those which they call as energy converters. It is where heat energy is being transformed into electrical energy. This heat energy can be from a kinetic energy which also means energy of motion. In other words, this is an energy produced when something is moving.

We will now learn the simplest way of building electric generators. The first thing you need to do is to look for some source of energy which are just available near you. You can either apply a stationary bicycle or a water wheel, just anything accessible to you. To give you an idea on how these energy sources work we will discuss for example the wind turbine. The moment that the turbine blades start to move catching the wind, they are at the same time spinning a copper loop attached to a rotating axle which will be discussed later. In this copper loop is where electricity is being transformed.

The next thing to be done after the first step is to prepare a wire where we could create a loop allowing both ends free. The amount of electricity produced will depend on the number of turns you have made in the loop.

If the wire is already prepared with the loop, you can now turn it and make sure that the connecting wires will not be twisting. Wires should not be twisted, otherwise, it will produce a short circuit which can destroy the whole thing. There is a way for the wires not to be twisting and it is to connect one of these wires to the rotating axle while the other one is connected to a conducting brush. The conducting brush is the one which maintains the contact with a second conductor. In doing this, you also need to make sure that the loop should be away from any moving parts of the energy source through supporting it with a light plastic material which should be sturdy.

The fourth thing to do is to prepare some magnets and placed it around the loop. The magnets should be in placed in such a way that the loop can trurn freely. Now field strength is very important in this process so magnets should be arranged in a manner where the field strength will be maximized. In order to do this, we need to make one end of the magnet face the north end of the other magnet.
Fifth step is to attach the conductors from the energy source to a battery, circuit, or to any device which you need to run. There’s another thing we need to look at in connecting the conductors and this the way how wires should be distant with each other.

Finally, you start the energy source. To provide you a view of how to activate it is for example starting to pedal the bicycle.
