A compact and strongly built DC Motor/Generator that can be hand wound by wheel and belt. The belt can easily be removed when running as a DC Motor. Can run using a permanent 'U' shaped magnet or by fitting into the 'U'core as part of the 'Hodson' Induction kit.
When used with the 'U'core, a coil can be used on the core to create the DC field. The field strength can then be altered to study the behaviour of the Motor or Generator.
Constructed for reliability and very long life with ball race bearings and a good quality commutator with robust sprung brushes. LEDs monitor the output voltage and indicate the polarity of the output. Motor runs well with good torque at about 6V.DC.
