Without any circuit to connect to, the generator is basically useless. Therefore, we will now turn to assembling the circuit that will allow our generator to power a light source.
This circuit will be built on a breadboard to serve as a voltage doubling AC-DC rectifier. The metal ends of jumper wires and capacitors can be bent in order to slide directly down into their respective positions on the breadboard.
This is how an empty (half) breadboard is laid out. It works just like a matrix map, so orient yourself with the coordinate structure. Pieces in the red or blue rails on the outsides of the breadboard can go in any row.
The chart below gives all of the breadboard "coordinates" for each piece of this circuit. You can connect each end of each piece, and your breadboard should look just like the image at the bottom. Use jumper wires for power in/out.
