Some ideas for editing our current generator:
- Using a hallow core rather than solid steel
- Moving the core closer to the magnets
- Rearranging the magnet orientation so that as a south pole passes one end of the core, a north pole passes the other end. (1st diagram)
- Eliminating a core and changing the orientation of the wire (2nd diagram) spiraling the wire vertical rather than horizontally. However if more than one coil is used, such as in the 2nd diagram (a coil is represented by the red spirals), the direction of winding the coil must be alternated.
For the shake light idea this was the general design the professor advised...
This is a DC device, so it wouldn't need to be rectified like the bicycle design.
I also estimated the number of coils used on the current generator to be about 3132. The current wire is also 26 mm gauge magnet wire.
