@WashedOutGundamPilot @pyrate @sparky @D00B @Kallian @SuperSnekFriend after briefly looking into it in the past, the only really reliable method of generating power (on your own), besides burning stuff, is living next to a river and having a watermill.
it won’t power a lot but it’s enough to power some electronics if you need them.
but even if you make it out of wood to make it easier to maintain, making that stuff at a good size to actually power things requires a lot of knowledge/skill with wood.
the parts that are converting that kinetic energy into electric energy are going to become the harder bits to get over time.
