I've had a few requests to make a generator and I have kept my eyes open for a suitable set of gears. This hand held pump action fan does the job - well sort of, unfortunately the plastic gear could not take the 'massive force' of my thumb pressure and the teeth started to break up after only a few minutes of use, but the principle was proven. Main components - hand held pump action fan Electric motor from vibrating toothbrush or similar short length of insulation tube stripped from some power cable LED Main Tools - sharp knife or scissors Filmed using FujiFilm FinePix S4800 Edited using Serif MoviePlus Starter Edition I will add this new video to my Simple Electronic Projects playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0qd7Hrqoc3II0OU-bx64TA My Channel page https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan Oldest videos https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?flow=grid&view=0&sort=da Most Popular https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=p&flow=grid&view=0 Newest videos https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/videos?sort=dd&view=0&flow=grid Playlists https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/grandadisanoldman/ Merchandise - Check both of these links if you are interested as the prices will vary and the shipping charges will be different. http://www.redbubble.com/people/grandadiaom/portfolio http://grandadisanoldman.cottoncart.com/ I have thousands of videos on YouTube, to find one try my search guides https://youtu.be/ceBSOoOHcgw or https://youtu.be/Zj4UgwkwYRk My "GrandadsOtherChannel" channel is generally where I will host the videos that give extra detail or longer versions of the videos I post on my main channel https://www.youtube.com/c/GrandadsOtherChannel If you feel the need to help support my channel you can donate at https://www.patreon.com/GrandadIsAnOldMan
