Fig.3.28: The right tension
of the belt is important for a
successful work!
The right tension of the belt helps that the transmission of the mechanical
energy to the generator flows optimally and without gaps and at the same
time as less loss as possible through friction occurs. Is the belt too tight, it is
hard for the steam engine to move the generator and he can not establish the
appropriate rotational speed.
Important information:
Please use only the small pulley wheel even if you have access to more
potent steam engine models. With the big pulley wheel (on the shaft of fly
wheel) the rotational speed and the voltage of the generator will become
so high, that the generator and the electric circuits might get damaged.
3.5.2 Measuring the voltage of the generator
Components: generator, multimeter
Now you can measure the voltage of the generator using a multimeter. Put
the multimeter on the indicator for direct current, f. ex. the area till 20V.
With the steam engine model of the Steam Box D 100E you can measure
2.9 to 3V running it full power, bigger steam engine models generate more
then 7V.
