Hand Crank Generator STEM Kit
Grade 9–10 Focus
Transform physical motion into electrical energy and back again with this hands-on exploration of electromagnetism.
Why it's awesome
MECH IT EASY develops simple, hands-on science kits that help students understand difficult concepts through practical demonstration. This Hand Crank Generator STEM Kit is designed especially for Grade 9 and 10 students and is intended to be used in school science laboratories. The kit demonstrates one of the most important physics concepts in the secondary-level curriculum: conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Mechanical to Electrical
Convert physical motion into usable electrical power.
Electromagnetic Field
See how magnets and copper coils interact.
Motor Mode
Switch to battery power to see the generator act as a motor.
