Assignment

• Consider how to condition the output of your generator. Do you need to rectify AC? Smooth the output? Store energy? Limit voltage? Identify what parts your particular application will need.
• Sketch a concept for your kinetic project and post to your blog. Identify components you need that you will order or make.

Response

The output of the generator will likely be DC.

Tobi and I brainstormed together as well as measured the output for several motors.

We looked at the below Nik Ramage inspirations for linear motion input that converts to rotational motion for the generator. However, we are unsure about the final concept for our project.
