Production of electrical energy
from mechanical sources

Introduction:
Mechanical energy from nature such as wind and water currents and waves can be converted to electrical energy. Mechanical energy will first be transmitted to an electric generator via shafts and gears. The electric generator will then produce electricity.
 
 Project description:
In this project you will study different methods used to convert the mechanical energy to electrical energy. You may also study the factors that affect the efficiency of such conversions. You will also make an electric generator.
