For his science fair project, John decided to experiment with renewable energy sources. He hoped that his work will solve all of our energy problems. He decided to power a generator with an electric motor. He thought once the generator was up to speed, he could just flip a switch and the generator could supply the electricity that powered the electric motor. John was for sure he made a historical discovery, he found an alternative to fossil fuels. His energy source was purely renewable. Why did his experiment fail once he put it to the test?
