Simple Electric Generator
Posted April 7, 2008 by Chris
In a more ‘back to the basics’ type of project, here is a very simple electric generator. This project is designed around making a generator produce enough electric current to make a light glow. All the parts and the procedure for building it are included in the write-up.
