Motors generating power
Posted by Patrick Dingle at 2/10/2001 11:03 PM EST


Coach on team #639, Red B^2, from Ithaca High School and Cornell University.



Our team made an interesting observation while pushing our robot around... The LEDs on all the victors lit up, and the fans even started spinning (with no battery attached). Does anyone know why electricity generated by the motors would light up the victors. This is especially strange considering it is a power OUTPUT. Anyone know why?
