Jay asked:


What type of device will allow you to put electrical energy from the electrical source to a battery? Let’s take an example that you are probably familar with-the fur and rod example. If I rub the two together I get an electrical charge. Now, what would I attach to the rod and fur and what device would be able to put that electrical energy into a battery?
Example 2-How do you store the energy that is being made from a mechanical device? If you know of specific products please list them.

If a good energy storage system was available electric cars would be a lot more useful. Batteries do store energy so how much do they weigh per megajoule of storage?

Raya I asked:


I have made a simple electric generator– cardboard box with gar magnets inside, wraped on copper wire. Is it possible to store that energy in something? Maybe rechargeable batteries?

Gustavo asked:


I’m looking for a store to buy micro controllers, IC’s, servo motors, nothing too fancy. Is there a good store for electronic students? Digikey and other online stores aren’t an option.

Steve asked:


I heed to buy a handheld magnifying glass or a handheld magnifier. I don’t want to buy one online. I just want to walk into a store a buy one. I’m in the metro Detroit area. I need one with a minimum magnification of 30x. It’s ok if it’s a bit stronger around 50x. It wood be nice if I can get one that I could adjust some how.
