Abstract Electricity has been vital for human progress requiring efficient, reliable, sustainable methods of producing that energy. In my approach to solving this problem, I am harnessing human power to generate electricity through a hand cranked electromagnetic generator. I plan for the final prototype to weigh a maximum of 2 kg and generate an average of 40 watts.
