Electricity Generator

The generator i am most interested in is solar power. I am most interested in solar power because i know the most information on Solar power. The solar power only uses the sun to give electricity to us. No need to us chemicals to turn the turbine. But its not on demand, when the sun isn't out the solar is on demand.Solar power takes up  a lot of space but is not cost efficient.

circuit diagram

We learned about different symbols. We use these symbols to differentiate from voltage to light bulbs because if we just have random circles on a circuit diagram you would get confused on which circle meant what. The light bulb symbol with a V in the middle is easy to recognize because Voltage starts with a V. Some thing hard to remember is the three different ways to draw a light bulb. Some one can get confused on the different ways or forget how to draw it.

pretzel circuit

Today in class we did a lab about circuits. I was an electron and I got 2 pretzel every time I passed the "battery" or pretzel bag.  When I passed a light bulb I had to put a pretzel in the box. The pretzel in the box represented how the electron gives the light bulb its energy. We had to walk on tape which represents wires. In a series circuit we walked along the wire in a straight box but with a parallel circuit we got to chose which way we wanted to go. 

No wires world

I live in a world where u don't need wires to power something with electricity. We call this world Electrofree. A big plus is that we power all of our lights with one generator and the energy flows threw the air to your lights. Something the you need to be aware is that U can get electrocuted badly if u step in a place with to much electricity. Hope you Ike your visit in our world. 

Electricity vocabulary

Electricity is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. Protons are positive. Electrons are negative. And neutrons are in the middle. A proton will repel from another proton. Same for electrons , electrons repel from other electrons. Protons and electrons are attracted to each other. A conductor can transport electricity very quickly. But electricity does not flow threw insulators good. 

Van de Graff

The generator is what made the light bulb light up. When u cranked the generator it pushed electrons and gave energy to the light bulb making it light up. I would like to test and see if u can light up a regular 69 watt light bulb and how fast you would have to crank the generator. 

Insulators and conductors

One insulator that I touched today was my wooden floor. I know this is an insulator because electricity does not flow threw wood easily. One conductor that I touched today was my metal door knob. I know this is an conductor because when I touched the metal I felt a shock in my hand. This is cause by a lot of electrons flowing fast from my hands to the metal.
