I got one of my students to take this photo. I had just crashed up a motor with a huge hammer (I safely put the motor in a bag and wore safety goggles) to show them what was inside. I was demonstrating that motors are simply reverse generators and wanted to demystify them both. Next, I had my students connect their motors up to multimeters and see how many volts they could get out of spinning the shaft. 6 volts seemed to be the max. On days like this, I love teaching. Other days, not so much so. I wish I could ethically post photos of my students because I've taken so many pictures of them doing cool stuff lately. I'll post photos of their solar cars once they're done with them. That should be by Friday the 28th, I hope.
