Hello folks, how is it going?
Most tech people know that if you give an electric motor electricity, it will spin. The opposite is true as well, if you somehow spin the motor(manually for example), it will give you some electricity. Meaning it will work as a generator. Now, if you have two electric motors and you connected their axles together, and you provided one with some voltage it will start spining and make the other motor spin as well since they are connected. If you connected a small bulb to the leads of the second motor, it will light up...........right? See the simple diagram I attached.
Now, here is the question: if you let free the second motor and only hold the first motor in place(The second motor and the small bulb connected to its leads can move freely), the whole motor will spin (Not only the axle)and the bulb will spin with it. While this is happening, the bulb has light with almost the same power as before! Why is this happening ? Is it because the axle of the second motor is spining faster than the motor itself? Shouldn't they be spining at the same speed?????
Hopefully I made myself clear!
Thanks
