Comment on Do you have plans for the fall?

I downloaded a shit ton of technical, survival, medicinal, herbal, and even the DSM -5 (cause mental health is important too when everything around you is crumbling ) books.
Why digital you ask ? Well, all these book aren’t available where i live and also because generating electricity isn’t a problem anymore with solar and it allow to create a lot of accurate copies of each book later to share with the survivors.

Making a generator isn’t really too hard either. Wrap some copper around a magnet and spin the magnet.

Am not very knowledgeable about these kinds of stuff but isn’t the hardest part is to output a stable voltage. I don’t even know how and if you can store such fluctuating energy.

I’m not sure… I’m not a magnetist… But I’ve seen them manually dial the stargate by wrapping some copper wire around it. So how hard can it be?

Yeah, we can tell. Magnetician or magentologist, you philistine.

yea, they usually have a rectifier in it. All that is usually is a configuration of four diodes(a component that only lets current flow one direction) so it can take the alternating current(AC) and convert it to direct current(DC) and then a large capacitor to stabilize the rectified voltage.

That’s really interesting. So you can technically make you own rectifier with salvaged electrics.

Idk if a stable output is necessary to charge a battery. They make flashlights and other small things with simple generators you power by shaking, which charges the battery that runs the light.
I’ve never taken one apart to see what else is going on, but I’d sure like to.
