Week 13: Day 2

Today is virtual school day. I contacted my members and got all the detailed sorted out. I drew up the list of things we should need based on the questions we answered last class. I also finished the diagram:

Materials

To help with efficiency of generator

1. Wooden Base (Any dimensions would be fine; just enough to hold stick upright)
2. Stick (Around 4ft long would be good, but no specific dimensions)

Parts of the generator

1. Nail (Preferably the biggest one you can find)
2. Plastic Board (Enough to make a circle with a diameter of 70 cm)
3. Supermagnets (Provided in school, at least 4)

Means of measurement

1. Copper Wire (25 loops would be sufficient; number not set)
2. Multimeter (Provided in school)

Miscellaneous (to help with set up)

1. Scissors
2. Ruler
3. A desk
4. Tape
5. Fan

All the details necessary for this experiment is in there. The coil of wire and the multimeter is already set. Now all I need to do is let my teammates help gather the equipment and start building it. Next class I will be sharing this with them as well as writing a lab report on it. In the weekends hopefully I will be able to build it. Next week we can test it at school, and if all goes well, we can finish this project next week and revise for the test.

I also sent the lab report #6 and #7 about magnetism. Which reminds me, I have not yet got the information from the circuits project. When I get to chemistry class I need to go get the poster.
