Introduction: Stepper Motor Generator

This instructable goes over how to create a generator to power lights, charge a battery or capacitor, etc. with kinetic energy.

Parts:
Stepper Motor (with 4 cables)
8 diodes
breadboard
a load to charge or power

Step 1: Create a Bridge Rectifier Using 8 Diodes in a Diamond Formation

Step 2: Bridge Rectifier Breadboard

Step 3: Another View of the Breadboard With Everything Plugged In

Here is a project that I created using this circuit:

Circuit Board (A board that lights up using the kinetic energy of the spinning wheel)
