5 OPTIONAL:
You don't have to buy this for this project however you can use it to measure how much power your are generating.

This is a cheap hall effect transducer - current monitoring clamp and voltage meter. The Loop that you see is called a "Clamp".

To use it, just push down on the lever shown on the left and the clamp opens. Then you put it over one of your wires coming from the generator. Power = voltage times amps. So when you get measure the amps going through the wire, then multiply it times how much voltage is coming out of your generator. That gives you watts.
