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.
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.
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.

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?

That’s really interesting. So you can technically make you own rectifier with salvaged electrics.
If you’re going to do that, salvaging a rectifier is probably easier. They’re in most devices nowadays
Thanks for the tip.
