Abstract

ABSTRACTS Electric generators have become an indispensable part of our modern life. They are used for a wide range of applications, including power generation, powering homes and commercial buildings etc. In this project, we present the construction of electric generator using iridium spark plugs and magnet. The methodology involves assembling a circuit using a coil, iridium spark plug and magnet, and other materials After the connection was done, the generated electricity was measured by connecting a multimeter to the circuit to test the output voltage to be 8.5 volts. This project can be used to better understand the fundamental principles of electric generators and the role of the spark plugs in energy production.
