Chapter 120 "Human Generator"
Hydroelectric generators, as the name suggests, use the kinetic energy of water flow to rotate magnetic induction generators to generate electrical energy.
In the previous plan, Jiang Yan wanted to make a large enough waterwheel, and then put this magnetic induction generator in the center of the waterwheel.
Now, however, it seems that this idea is not very realizable.
If you want to make a hydroelectric generator, you have to make a small house to place the equipment, but for this amount of electricity, Jiang Yan is busy for a month to build it, which is a waste of time.
"I wanted to make a hydroelectric generator, but I don't want to now." Looking at the batteries in the room, Jiang Yan raised his head and looked at Lu Linlin.
"Then don't you use this machine?"
Seeing Jiang Yan's attitude, Lu Linlin suddenly felt a little lost, she was very interested in these things that seemed to be magical, and being able to operate them by herself made her feel a great sense of achievement, like the generator in her hand, if it could be made into enough objects, it would not only provide some help to this family, but also make herself feel some value.
"No, you see there are solar charging panels at home, and there are so many batteries, except for these light bulbs, our family does not have a lot of demand for electricity, so the idea of hydroelectric generators is useless."
Turning his head to look at the various batteries in the room, Jiang Yan opened his mouth indifferently.
"If the hydroelectric generator doesn't work, the human generator can't work?"
Knowing Jiang Yan's thoughts, Lu Linlin saw the electric car on the side, her eyes rolled, and she instantly thought of another thing.
The hydroelectric generator is nothing more than making the generator rotate constantly, if this is the case, Lu Linlin can completely follow the example of the battery car to make a human power generator.
"Human-powered generators?"
Listening to Lu Linlin's words, Jiang Yan followed the latter's gaze to the battery car parked in the distance, and with the annotation of his gaze, Jiang Yan's eyes instantly lit up.
"That's right! How could I not have thought of it! ”
A bicycle architecture instantly surged in his mind, Jiang Yan instantly stood up and hugged Lu Linlin, if a manpower generator is made, then there is no need to look at the weather for charging.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan pulled Lu Linlin to the table, picked up the chalk on the side, and then described the bicycle-like generator he saw before his death.
Lu Linlin's brain is very smart, looking at the sketch drawn by Jiang Yan, she instantly understood the working principle of the bicycle generator, and after half an hour of busy work, Jiang Yan and Lu Linlin finally communicated all the details of the bicycle generator.
With the sketch in hand, the next thing Jiang Yan needed to do was to find a bicycle.
There are a lot of bicycles in Shengjia Village, basically every household has a bicycle, with the Lu family sisters, Jiang Yan from near to far, and finally after looking for a few bicycles, he brought four bicycles back to his home.
Four bicycles, each with its own purpose.
A human-powered generator requires a complete bike rack, a usable bearing, a flawless chain, and rounded wheels.
And the bicycles in Shengjia Village are all bad and rotten because of time, and the four bicycles in front of me happen to be perfect in these parts.
Taking out the wrench, Jiang Yan dismantled all the parts needed for the four bicycles, and then began to install them according to the main frame of the bicycle.
After working for most of the day, Jiang Yan finally assembled half of the bike, as for why it was half a bike, because it only had the rear wheel.
The tires of the rear wheel were cut and removed by Jiang Yan with a knife, leaving a bare concave wheel.
Taking out the belt collected along the way, Jiang Yan hung one end of the belt on the generator, and then the other end was stuck in the depression of the hub, and in the middle of the hub of the bicycle was a not-so-wide groove, which was just stuck in the belt at this moment, which made it impossible to derail the belt when working, no matter how the person on the bicycle pedaled.
Adjusting the position of the generator, Jiang Yan and the three of them drew a horizontal line on the wooden board, then put down the generator and began to make the base of the human generator.
Because it is a bicycle, Jiang Yan needs to install a bracket on both sides, and this bracket cannot affect Jiang Yan's movement.
The front is very simple, the front of the bike is two iron rods that resemble sheep's horns, just dig out the shape of an iron rod in the stake and stick the iron rod inside.
The back needs some brackets, and the wheels need to rotate, so the whole wheel must be suspended, and the only thing that can be supported in the back is the old rear seats.
Inserting the wooden strips under the rear seats, then taking out the steel wire to fix it, and then like clamping the rear wheels, Jiang Yan put two wooden planks on both sides of the wheels, dug a hole in the wooden plank, let the beam-like wooden strips pass through the two wooden boards, and then fixed them with nails.
At the bottom of the two planks is a tail that extends to the left, right, and back, which not only serves as a foundation, but also has enough space for a generator.
With the help of auxiliary wooden sticks, Jiang Yan nailed the three wooden planks firmly, then took out the generator and began to install it according to the angle carved before.
Installing the generator is very simple, there are special screw holes on the generator, take out the appropriate screws from the storage room, Jiang Yan fixed the generator on the base, and then put on the belt.
After nearly two days of busy work, Jiang Yan and the others finally finished making this manpower generator, took out the copper wire, Lu Linlin nailed a socket row to the wooden board, and then came to the side of the generator with the uncharged battery.
In order to facilitate the charging of the battery, Lu Linlin cleverly made an adapted plug, which was used to supply power to the farmhouse before, and now it can also be used for charging.
Plugging in the socket, Lu Linlin motioned for the ginger smoke on the generator to start.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Yan slowly stepped on the pedal, with the movement of the pedal, the chain drove the rear wheels, and the belt on the wheels made the generator start to work.
"Stop!"
Seeing the indicator light of the battery flickering, Lu Linlin on the side hurriedly reminded Jiang Yan to stop, looking at Lu Linlin's solemn face, Jiang Yan climbed off the frame suspiciously, and followed the latter to observe the battery.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Jiang Yan's question, Lu Linlin on the side turned her head and explained.
"The current output of this generator is unstable, and if you want to charge the battery, you need a voltage stabilizer from a solar charging panel." Pointing to the iron box in the room, Lu Linlin slowly spoke.
Hearing this, Jiang Yan followed the direction of Lu Linlin's finger and looked at the iron lump that was working in the house.
"Co-authored solar generator and manpower generator, can only use one at the same time?"
