Response to one of jaykay18's videos.
I remembered I had a motor for the turntable in a microwave oven that would generate a considerable amount of voltage if manually driven. Although it does not produce a lot of current, it will still light a string of LED Christmas lights.
CAUTION: Open circuit voltage may reach or even exceed 200 VAC depending on how fast you turn the shaft and will administer a nasty electric shock if contacted. Be careful around the connections!
