6:32 while 10000 RPM is of course a ridiculously high speed, the faster the spinning is, the higher the flux will be. And as the flux is directly proportional to the induction voltage, the higher your RPM is the more voltage you will generate. Anyways, love to see these physics applied in lego builds, it's really cool!

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Yeah I'm almost tempted to see just how fast it could spin if I connected the magnets directly to the turbine without any gear reduction. But I'd be pretty worried about something flying off or creating a speed wobble. Perhaps in a future experiment!

[@Tsskevik]

While i do love this ingenuity , i just had to comment on one thing. I dont know i f you have an oscilloscope, but i would recommend that you get one to se the wave signal of your coil. because those coils are extremely inefficient. And since you talked about efficiency regarding the vacuum turbine, i would like to think that machine efficiency would also be equally important. While the magnet traverses over the coil, enveloping the coil, there is no induction at all. One would like to think that peak voltage would be at that point, but due to the coil geometry that is not the case. I would assume that the peak voltage positive is when the permanent magnet is introducing the magnetic field in where the edge of the magnet is aligned with the center of your circular core. and a new peak when the magnet is about to leave the coil. The coil in it self introduces harsh harmonic distortion which in turn creates huge losses. If you are going to iterate on this design, i would invite you to check out how coils are assembled in the stators, aligned perpendicular with the magnet, linear, non-circular. A bit difficult to explain, but check out for example lesics. Anywas, a really good proof of concept. i imagine, keeping your coil urn, id guess you would acheive atleast 60% efficiency if you redesign it. And that might be a understatement.

[@clarkanine]

mAN just casually electrocutes himself testing a lego turbine. mad. love the video

[@JohnErikMills]

A thought, If you enclose the generator portion between the vacuum and the vacuum driven turbine, it could perhaps reduce the air pressure such that the generator could be easier to drive. Maybe even house the generator within the body of the vacuum.

[@CyberSCP-426]

If you want to charge a phone faster with high voltage, I'd recommend turning some of the voltage to current. I wouldn't push it though, as I don't know a phone's rated amperage.

[@noctisumbra3015]

Most vacuum cleaners also have an output, where air from the vacuum is brought out of the vacuum cleaner. Why not connect a hose to the output of the vacuum cleaner, and use on the input vent of the generator? Would it make more power now that are is not just being drawn in, but forced in? Have vacuum on one side of the fan, and air on the other side still, Add a flap to the air side so you can still control the power. Might even use a bigger fan to spin it, so you have much more torque and power.

Fun and interesting, as it's really surprising just how much power can be drawn from just atmosphere pressure, if using a vacuum to direct it.

You should be able to get an estimate of how much power your phone is taking by using an app to measure power going into the battery, and having it take measurements with the screen off so you can be sure that almost all of what your phone takes is in fact going into the battery. The only issue is that I'm not aware of an app that records historical power measurements. The closest I'm aware of is Battery Guru, which reports instantaneous power (which you can only actually see with the screen on), but only records historical current (which doesn't tell you much beyond a qualitative fast/slow without also knowing the battery voltage).
