Solar Wind Dynamo Model
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11130
Quick answer: The Solar Wind Dynamo Model shows a complete chain of energy conversions in one assembly. Light on the photovoltaic panel produces electricity, which runs a DC motor; the motor's rotation drives a dynamo, and the dynamo's output lights an LED. It supports lessons on renewable energy, motors, generators and conservation of energy. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools and colleges.

How the model is used in teaching
Students often learn the forms of energy one at a time. This model links four conversions in sequence, so the class can follow energy from light to a glowing LED: radiant energy to electrical energy in the solar cell, electrical to kinetic energy in the motor, kinetic back to electrical energy in the dynamo, and electrical energy to light in the LED.
The motor and the dynamo are close relatives. A motor turns because a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field feels a force; a dynamo produces a current because a coil turned in a magnetic field has an EMF induced in it. Some energy is lost as heat and sound at every stage, so the modest glow at the end is a good starting point for a discussion of efficiency.
- Place the model on a clean, stable, dry surface and check the panel, motor, dynamo, LED and connections.
- Expose the solar panel to bright sunlight or a strong lamp.
- Watch the motor start and the dynamo turn, then look for the LED lighting.
- Shade part of the panel and note how the motor speed and LED brightness change.
Key features

Frequently asked questions
What energy changes does the Solar Wind Dynamo Model show?
Light to electrical energy in the solar panel, electrical to mechanical energy in the motor, mechanical to electrical energy in the dynamo, and electrical energy to light in the LED.
How is a dynamo different from a motor?
A motor converts electrical energy into motion; a dynamo does the reverse, converting motion into electrical energy by electromagnetic induction. The model uses one of each.
