Day 2

Today we shared the surplus of information we had each gathered. Most of the show went to Nate who had learned a lot about how a generator works. We now all have a basic understanding of the different ways that we could go about making one.
Possibilities:
+ Find something that already has a generator and swipe it.
+ Find a motor and essentially tinker with it so that it works backwards.
+ Create a generator from scratch using mostly magnets and copper wire.

We are yet to decide what we will do. Our design is coming through as well though we are yet to build our prototype(s). That's next on the list.

Thanks for sending the address to the link. Remember to add more valuable content - this will get you more points which will get you more honor, etc.

Include links to sites you are using so you can refer back quickly.

Any member can add information or start a discussion - use this in stead of email to track it easier, too.

Photos of your actual work and/or similar ideas - do you have a design idea?? Hope so!
