Simple Generator
This extremely simple generator is designed to be used with a galvanometer.
It will also light up an LED (light emitting diode). It is not powerful enough
to run anything else. However, it does effectively demonstrate that a magnetic
field moving through a conductor creates electricity.

Wait a minute! That's the same picture that was on the electromagnet
page! Yup. Most of this paragraph is the same too! This is another demonstration
of the connection between electricity and magnetism. If we move a magnetic field
through the wire wraps, we make electricity! If we move electricity through
the wires wrapped around the bolt, it makes an electromagnet. Neat, huh?
