Description: In this new experiment I created a kind of prototype for electricity production with a 24V DC current generator driven by the thrust of two 6V electric motors with propellers. Explanation of operation: A 24V DC generator is placed above a wooden base and column, and gears are inserted to achieve a multiplication of turns on its axis. Two 6V DC motors were installed in an aluminum rod of 8 mm and a length of 900 mm. Two model plane propellers are glued on the axis of the electric motors. The two motors are connected in series with each other. In the center of the aluminum rod and above the wooden column there are two circular electric contacts, one negative and the other positive. For the operation of the two motors a 6V battery was inserted. On the side of the battery a chrome wire potentiometer is glued, it is intended to adjust the speed of the two motors. The power of the 24V generator is able to power up 136 parallel 12V leds and two 6V motors in series with each other. But the actual power of the generator is conditioned by the thrust of the two 6V motors. In this project I had difficulty between the motors and the propellers, because the motors axes are very small to accommodate the central holes of the propellers. The two engines with propellers were recovered from 3.6 volts electric drills. *The noise of the system is due to the fact that plastic gears are not well aligned with each other.https:
