Human-powered electricity that lets students feel energy transfer

Turn student effort into real electricity. The Genecon Hand Crank Generator is a low-voltage power source that replaces batteries in dozens of circuits—students simply crank the handle to produce current, then feel the energy transfer through changing resistance in the crank. It’s an instant, hands-on way to make abstract ideas like “voltage,” “current” and “power” concrete.

Because output depends on how fast students crank, the Genecon naturally leads into great questions about voltage, current, load, and efficiency. Crank the opposite direction to reverse polarity, and when powered by another Genecon or low-voltage source, it can act as a motor—perfect for exploring how generators and motors are two sides of the same physics.

Why Teachers Love the Genecon Hand-Crank Generator

A battery replacement students can “be”: Learners supply the energy themselves, making current, voltage, and power feel intuitive.
Immediate feedback through the crank: Resistance changes as circuit load changes, so students sense what their circuit is doing.
Reversible polarity + motor mode: Flip current direction by cranking backward, and show generator ↔ motor duality in one device.
Rugged, classroom-ready workhorse: Built for repeated student use and quick hookups.

Most Common Experiments with the Genecon

Suitable for learners from upper elementary through high school and into introductory college physics/engineering, the Genecon scales smoothly from simple “make-a-circuit” activities to quantitative investigations of energy and electricity.

“Be the Battery” circuits: Open/closed circuits, measuring brightness vs. cranking speed, and energy transfer.
Series & parallel investigations: Compare current/brightness changes and discuss equivalent resistance.
Conductors vs. insulators: Use the Genecon to test materials in a simple circuit.
Variable resistance & Ohm’s Law: Add resistors/bulbs and relate cranking effort to electrical load.
Basic electromagnetism: Power coils/electromagnets and connect current to magnetic effects.
Capacitance & energy storage (extensions): Charge a capacitor, then discharge to compare energy in/out.

Most Common Products the Genecon is Paired With

Complete Genecon Experiment Set — a full lab progression built around the Genecon for middle/high school circuits.
Genecon Experiment Pack Manual — step-by-step activities covering conductors, series/parallel, resistance, fuses, capacitance, and electromagnetism.
Series/Parallel Bulb Board (P6-1120) — fast, clean series/parallel comparisons powered by student cranking.
Electrostatic High-Voltage Genecon (P6-2640) — often paired for a “two faces of electricity” unit (current electricity → static electricity).
Arbor Scientific Circuit Components & Loads (bulb holders, buzzers, LEDs, motors, wire kits) — any low-voltage accessory where you’d normally use batteries.
