3.2 From the mechanic energy to the electric energy
To gain electricity out of steam we need a couple of steps. First happens the
transformation from steam energy into mechanical energy and then from
mechanical energy into electricity. In our day to day life electricity has the
advantage that we can already use the existing installation and its use is
universal.
3.2.1 Connection and function of the current machine
The Steam Box D 100E and the E-Box 50 contain a permanent excited
current machine, which is used in the experiments as a generator. From the
perspective of the electro technique there does not exist any difference
between an engine and a generator; only depending on the use they are
named engine or generator.
You will experience the qualities and functions of the generator in the
following chapters through the practical experiments. In the text the current
machine is named generator when transforming mechanical energy into
electricity.
Connecting the generator:
Components: generator, crocodile clips
The generator has two connections, one with a red and another one with a
black cable. He generates pulsating direct current. You have a positive and
a negative pole same like with a battery. At the exit of a direct- current
generator one receives two half cyclic wave forms. Connect the cables of
the generator with the crocodile clips for the following experiments.
Connect the black cable to the black crocodile clip, the red cable to the red
clip, like shown in Fig.3.20. The connections of the generator can maintain
like this in most of the following experiments.
Note:For a stable contact between connection cable of the generator and
the crocodile clips it is helpful to bend the stripped ends of the
