E. HOW IT WORKS
Micheal Faraday is not well known to a lot of people today, but his work as a scientist in the 1800's was really remarkable. His
experiments with electricity and magnets, eventually led him to the invention of the electric motor. He continued his work for many years
and began to experiment with different methods to create electricity. He figured out that by passing a magnet through loops of wire, (or
by moving a coil against a magnet) he could generate a current!With the toy motor we used in this kit, wires are coiled around the
center axle. There are magnets placed inside the wall of the motor casing. When the crank or pulley is turned, the center axle spins with
the help of the magnets and a current is produced, which is strong enough to light up the LED lamp. And it all runs smoothly with the
help of the commutator and brush, which connects the circuit to the spinning axle without tangling any wires. We refer to this process as
electromagnetic induction, which is the basis of your Eco-Tech generator! While today's generators are much more powerful than those
Faraday created, the basic theory is still the same as the source of power for your Eco-Tech Bulb!
F. FUN FACTS
Almost a billion people in the world still live without a consistent, reliable source of electricity. They rely on dangerous and expensive
kerosene lamps which pollute the environment. These lamps not only take up a large portion of a family's income, but also prevent
children from learning as the kerosene fumes can cause headaches and eye strain. The technology inside the EcoTech Bulb doesn't
require sunlight, oil or a battery to work, providing a environmentally friendly and cheap alternative to kerosene lamps. Access to light
through this powerful and innovative design will help lift millions of people out of poverty in the future.
G. TROUBLESHOOTING
If the LED does not turn on in Gravity-Powered Mode:• Fill the water bottle up with more water to increase the weight and force put on
the gearbox. • Make sure the button is pushed all the way towards the wire side of the gearbox. Do not push the button when the water
bottle is connected to the gearbox. If the LED does not turn on in Hand-Powered Mode:• Make sure to turn the handle clockwise when
using your right hand to operate the light. • Check if the button is pushed all the way towards the handle side of the gearbox.Also check
the following:• Check if the red and black wires from the motor and light are matched with the same colour within the terminals. Make
sure the black and red wires are secured properly by pegs in the two terminals. • If it is difficult to push the button to change the mode
on the device, slight turn the crank to realign the gears. The button should push smoothly through once the gears are aligned.
