Electricity Power up electricity labs… Conduct dozens of exciting, hands-on experiments with the Genecon and its accessories Genecon… create electrical current by simply turning a crank Genecon Ideal as a battery replacement for a wide variety of basic electricity experiments, the Genecon generator is a low voltage power source that lets you create electrical current by simply turning a crank. This ingenious device generates student interest as well as 5 volts of direct current — producing electrical energy through hands-on student effort. Students’ enthusiasm is immediate, whether they are third graders lighting a bulb or college students reviewing sophisticated principles such as Ohm’s Law or the electromagnetic Capacitor properties of various materials. Visual Electricity Demonstrator Made from a sturdy, see-through ABS resin with nylon-plastic gears and handle, the Genecon is designed to shrug off use and abuse. It produces approximately 200 mA of usable current. You can reverse polarity by simply cranking the handle in the opposite direction. And when powered by another Genecon or low-voltage power source, it acts as a motor. P6-2631 P6-2631-01 P6-2631-02 Pulsing LEDs make it easy for students to visualize the flow of electrons through a circuit. Visual Electricity Demonstrator Help students visualize the flow of electricity! Genecon 10 or more Replacement Leads Replacement Gears $52 $48 each $10 $8 Exclusively distributed by Arbor Scientific, the Visual Electricity Demonstrator displays current generated by the Genecon or by batteries to help your students better understand the dynamic nature of electric current. Bright, easy-to-see LEDs in the unit represent the flow of electrons through the circuit as the Visual Electricity Demonstrator pulses to life. Connect it to a 1 Farad Capacitor (right), and the unit demonstrates the charging capabilities of the Genecon, simulating the flow of electrons as it recharges and discharges. If you’re using the C.A.S.T.L.E. program, you’re sure to find the Visual Electricity Demonstrator a valuable addition to your teaching tools. Genecon and Capacitor sold separately. P6-2600 $109 6 or more $99 each 1 Farad Capacitor Demonstration Study and understand stored potential, capacitance, and energy conversion. Genecon’s output can be stored temporarily in this unique miniature capacitor, then tapped to perform various short-term tasks. The capacitor uses revolutionary electrochemical technology to pack what would have been a roomful of equipment into one palm-sized disk. Rated at 5 volts, 1 Farad. P6-8012 $20 6 or more $18 each Discovery Pack Get more information on these and other products for exploring electricity at www.arborsci.com.
