Shinok87 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I have a project in which i need a generator that can fit in an area of 6"x6"x6". Anyone know a place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 first of all you have a volume there. and what sort of power are you looking for? and are you expecting fuel tanks to be included in that volume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron marical Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 In those little wind up flashlights their is small generators, wich, like insane alien said, are just small electric motors run in reverse. There is also small generators in well many different peices of technology. Anything that vibrates will have them, anything that moves by electricity in a circular motion... This is something i like to think i know about, i take alot of stuff apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 As for generators run in reverse, that will only work if the motor has magnets. If you have an induction motor, don't count on it working as a generator (it might work if you power it up and then keep spinning it, but don't count on it).
