Overview
The Generator & Electric Motor is a classic interactive physics exhibit that brings the principles of electromagnetic induction to life through hands-on experience. Designed by Zoomking, a premier science museum exhibit manufacturer, this exhibit demonstrates the two sides of electromagnetic induction—the conversion between mechanical energy and electrical energy.
When visitors turn the hand crank, the coil rotates within a magnetic field, generating an electric current that lights up a bulb. This is mechanical energy converted into electrical energy—the same principle used in hydroelectric dams and wind turbines.
Then, by pressing a button, visitors observe the motor coil spin as electricity creates motion. This demonstrates how electrical energy converts back into mechanical energy, powering devices like electric vehicles and fans.
