Drawing preview
The scenario

A hand-crank dynamo generates DC electricity to light an incandescent lamp through a fuse and switch, with a smoothing capacitor across the lamp.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Model the hand crank dynamo as a DC supply using type=dc_supply

02

Include a fuse and SPST switch for safe manual control

03

Add a smoothing capacitor across the lamp to reduce flicker

Use for DIY emergency lanterns, educational generator demos, or any off-grid hand-powered lighting project.
