    It isn’t so hard really, to make electricity even in the olden days.

    A dynamo is just a copper wire with a magnet spinning inside.

    Making a copper wire you can accomplish by having a hole at the bottom of a kiln that drops directly into a big vat of water. Or even just drawing a line in the sand and pouring it in there.

    Getting your hands on a natural magnet might pose more problems, but ultimately those are found in nature. So they should have already been dug up by someone.

    Using the electricity usefully is harder. Since creating a light bulb needs access to gasses. What could we even use the electricity for?
