DIY HOMOPOLAR GENERATOR

Capstone Project

Abstract A. Background of the study

The purpose of this project is to In these day Homopolar Generator

Through this activity, the students will
able to:
I. INTRODUCTION
a. Understand the electromagnetic
Homopolar Generator is an induction
electric motor that generates electricity b. Increase the understanding of
by electromagnetic induction. This how electricity was made
motor was invented Michael Faraday c. To nurture the understanding in
which the motor is also known as science topics and applying it
Faraday Disc. The Homopolar through work.
Generator uses a highly conductive disk
to generate more electricity such as III. HYPOTHESIS
Copper which is mostly used in making
a Homopolar Generator. The researchers hypothesize the
making of Homopolar Generator by
using an “aluminum” instead of copper
to do some electromagnetic induction.
