Science Entry: Generators
Mr. S assigned me a project on generators. Since i have a boat with a huge generator i thought of filming the video of the project there, in Croazia, where Nokolas Tesla started distribuiting a system of alternating current that is really important for generators. Many people probably think that generators work in a really complex way but it's not really true. A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It uses motion to create an electric current. There are two types of generators but work almost in the same way: AC generators and DC generators. I based my project all on this. There are some generators that are really simple like the ones in our science book. Whilst there are some others that are really complex which arn't easy to understand. This last type of generators are used for example in cruise ships. If you are in a place with no electricity, a generator would be perfect if you wanted to cook or have just some lights on.
