I'd actually be able to teach them how to make it if they have copper and magnets, since I know how to make a simple generator. They'd be SOL on how to use it though, because I don't know how to make something entirely from raw materials that would require electricity. Which means they also wouldn't know I am creating it with the generator... ๐ค Uh... Shit.
This is actually kinda wild to think about and I hadn't considered it before. Making electricity is easy! Using it is actually more complicated.
You could give people a mild shock. "Here. Hold these while I crank this thingy." Could be good for some lulz. Or get you burned as a witch.
I mean, the Baghdad Battery's pretty old. We've had electricity for a while, just nobody knew what it was or how to use it. Just like us now.
Baghdad Battery? Probably not a battery:
Awful Archaeology Ep. 6: The Baghdad Battery by Miniminuteman
Baghdad Battery 2 - non-electric boogaloo also by Miniminuteman
I love Minuteman. His series on Graham Hancock's bullshit show earlier this year was terrific.
Making an "ouch" device or basic heater is something I could do.
Even a battery I could make a simple alumium air battery cell. Or lemon battery. But I'd be viewed like a sorcerer asking for foreign ingredients like salt, aluminum, copper and zinc.
I swear the Americans remove another letter from the word aluminium every time I look away
Yanks are a sneaky bunch.
it's all the uranum from the atomic bomb tests
Aluminum would be nearly impossible to obtain, it's actually my preferred grab in a hypothetical "You're going back in time and can take one thing" situation
Yep, it was worth more than gold before modern methods made it easy to isolate.
Depends on how far back and where you went. Whoever made the Baghdad Battery probably wouldn't even be impressed.
You mean the scroll holder?
Joe Rogan had a good line back before he became... whatever he is now. Anyways, the line is "if I dropped you off on a deserted island, how long before you could send me an email?"
Why is email the metric?
Well you'd need to invent mining, metallurgy, machining, manufacturing, radio waves, computing, computer programming, electricity, and a slew of other technologies that took thousands of years and millions of people to create.
You can make a generator.. so then stretch wires to a distance and put a motor on the end of it (similar to the generator). Basically blow their minds in that you could transfer power over distance without a mechanical coupling.
