CHARGER Energy is Never Created or Destroyed; it Just Changes Forms
F1005 – ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM
Overview The world we live in runs on electricity. But our massive appetite for electricity has been causing problems on the planet in the forms of pollution and climate change. There are many different ways we are trying to counteract these problems (for example: solar power, higher efficiency light bulbs and appliances, electric cars).
In this project we will focus on converting mechanical
energy into electrical energy and using that energy to power a USB charger.
