This document provides an overview of a capstone project to build a homopolar generator. A homopolar generator is an electric motor that uses electromagnetic induction to generate electricity. It was invented by Michael Faraday and is also known as a Faraday disc. The project aims to understand how homopolar generators work and to increase knowledge of electromagnetic induction and how electricity can be generated. The hypothesis is that an aluminum disc can be used instead of copper to create electromagnetic induction in a homemade homopolar generator. The document outlines the objectives, background, and planned methodology for the project.

DIY HOMOPOLAR GENERATOR
Capstone Project
Abstract A. Background of the study
The purpose of this project is to In these day Homopolar Generator
know on how the Homopolar Generator is very outdated and only few people Works and how it generates electricity know about this, they only know that and also how does this helpful between our source of electricity is by natural physics, chemistry, and biology. gas, nuclear energy, hydropower, solar power and coals. But they didn’t know that something called Faraday disc or Faraday wheel is Acknowledgement invented, only few knows about this, The researchers would be this has been a topic for many obliged to the project to the members research projects in the early who share ideas on what the project 1800’s. Numerous successful would be. As the members of the group designs have utilized a single and finally decided what project to make multi-turn coils that produce a that will benefit to the society is magnetic field which is necessary wonderful and useful to all things that for the motor to work. Homopolar need powering and that makes the Generator is also described as ideas to make it. By helping each other pulsed power supply for numerous on what project to make makes us industrial applications such as large close together as classmates. Thanks metal cross section pulsed for the researcher’s families to provide resistance welding and magnetic such financial support to help this metal forming. According to Lamme research possible that the researchers (2021), a homopolar machine rated will make. The researchers wanted to 2,000 kW, 260 V, 7,700 A and 1,200 give appreciation to each other to the rpm with 16 slip rings operating at a research project for making them close peripheral velocity of 67 m/s. together by sharing ideas, giving help, and researching about the research project to make. ll. OBJECTIVES Through this activity, the students will able to: I. INTRODUCTION a. Understand the electromagnetic Homopolar Generator is an induction electric motor that generates electricity b. Increase the understanding of by electromagnetic induction. This how electricity was made motor was invented Michael Faraday c. To nurture the understanding in which the motor is also known as science topics and applying it Faraday Disc. The Homopolar through work. Generator uses a highly conductive disk to generate more electricity such as III. HYPOTHESIS Copper which is mostly used in making a Homopolar Generator. The researchers hypothesize the making of Homopolar Generator by using an “aluminum” instead of copper to do some electromagnetic induction. IV. METHODOLOGY In this content we will tackle about the materials and the procedures on how the experiments is being made step by step.
