Can I use a small DC electric motor as a generator to light up several LED's in a project?

Yes you can, the power will not be stored though, the LED's will only light when the motor is turning and their brightness will depend on the velocity of the motor's revolutions. Dont forget your resistor.

What US companies specialize in electric generator repair?
United States companies that specialize in electric generator repair are state owned power plants. These include plants such as Georgia Power or Florida Power and Light Company.
Who invented the ''electric bulb''?
The electric light bulb was made by several people independent of each other. Thomas Edison is considered the creator of an effective light bulb. Others did not work as well or last as long.
What is the filament in lights?
Filament is a thin part of incandescent bulb which is the source of electric light that electric current passes through and heated it until it produce light.
Is arc welding an example of electric current?
No, an example of an electric current would be using a battery to light a lightbulb.
Who invented the carbon filament for the electric light?
James watt
How much wind power to light a bulb?
You need a wind power generator to make the electric energy to hook your light to. Maybe charging a battery with the wind generator and running the light bulb off the battery will provide better service.
What US companies specialize in electric generator repair?
United States companies that specialize in electric generator repair are state owned power plants. These include plants such as Georgia Power or Florida Power and Light Company.
What device transforms chemical energy to mechanical energy to electrical and radiant energy?
A gas-turbine feeding an electric generator that feeds an electric light.
I am doing a project and I need to know what a solar powered generator is. Please answer soon?
A solar powered generator is a machine that converts light from the sun into heat, which is then used to produce electricity.

What device converts mechanical energy to light energy?
you can use generator which covert mecahnical energy to electric energy .......
What are the achievement of thomas Edison?
Thomas Alva Edison's greatest achievement was the lightbulb,the phonograph,cement,and the electric generator. He also made the electric light bulb. Not cement that is wrong....
What are the songs they play before bulls games?
Sirius by the Alan parsons project
Can you use a three phase motor for lighting?
A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, so it can't be used for lights. But a 3-phase generator or alternator can be used to generate power for lighting. A 3-phase generator can light 3 light simultaneously, or it can be used to with a full wave rectifier (as in a car's electrical generator) to light one light, or several lights, or charge a battery
How is light generator made?
This is an AC electric generator which lights up a tiny incandescent light bulb. The generator is made from a hollow-ended cardboard box with a nail through the center. The box has many turns of varnished thin copper wire wound around, with four large magnets clamped around the nail. When the nail and magnets are spun fast by hand, the little light bulb lights up dimly.
How do you make a light bulb light up if the power comes from a generator?
You put the light bulb into a light fixture or lamp and plug the lamp into the running generator's electrical outlet. Make sure the generator's circuitbreaker is reset.
Why is generator armature harder to rotate when it is connected to a circuit and supplying electric current?
Because a generator extracts energy from whatever is rotating it and passes this (by the electric current it produces) down the circuit to the motor (or light bulb or heater) where it is used. When there is no complete electric circuit, no electricity can flow so no (little) energy is extracted, but when the circuit is closed, electricity does flow and the armature is more difficult to turn.
